Can I require customers to sign liability waivers in Tennessee? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents, it is not clear whether you can require customers to sign liability waivers in Tennessee. However, there are some provisions in the Tennessee Code that may be relevant to your query.

Liability Waivers in Tennessee

Tennessee law generally allows parties to enter into contracts that limit or waive liability for certain types of damages. However, such contracts are subject to certain limitations and requirements. For example, a liability waiver must be clear and unambiguous, and the party seeking to enforce the waiver must show that the other party knowingly and voluntarily agreed to it ^[1.4].

Additional Requirements

In addition to the general requirements for liability waivers, there may be specific requirements that apply to your situation. For example, if you are providing a flex loan plan, you must provide each prospective customer with a written explanation of the interest, fees, and charges to be charged by the licensee, in compliance with federal truth-in-lending laws ^[2.1].

Consult with an Attorney

Given the complexity of the legal requirements and the potential consequences of noncompliance, it is recommended that you consult with a licensed attorney in Tennessee to determine the specific requirements and legality of requiring customers to sign liability waivers.
