Waiver of Damages When Moving Appliance
You understand there is an inherent risk when moving appliances. There is a risk of damage to the machine itself, and to areas surrounding its installation, including but not limited to flooring, cabinetry, and countertops. You acknowledge the technician is not required to move the appliance. In exchange for his willingness to do so, you promise to hold harmless both the technician and Alpha Appliance Repair from any and every liability associated with any such damage as may occur in connection with this movement.
Waiver of Damages When Working with Water
You understand the machinery that’s being worked on is connected with the building’s plumbing system, and whenever any machinery is so connected, there is an inherent risk that component failure, imperfect connections, and/or other faults could result in unintended leakage and/or flooding within the building, causing significant and sometimes catastrophic damage. Excepting for cases of gross, clearly proven, and explicitly identifiable negligence by the technician, you promise to hold harmless both the technician and Alpha Appliance Repair, its principals, agents, and employees from any and all damages, harms, or liability that may result from such an occurrence. By allowing the technician to commence work, you explicitly waive the right to any contrary claim.
Waiver of Damages from Failed Cooling Equipment
You understand that, like any machinery, refrigeration equipment consists of a multiplicity of complex components, any of which can fail without warning, and that any effort to service and/or repair the same carries inherent risks. Diagnoses are not always straightforward, and, even when carefully performed, repair this equipment and/or service work may involve imperfections that result in failure of the machinery to perform as intended. Such failures may lead to food spoilage, discomfort, inconvenience, and (particularly in commercial contexts) even loss of revenue as associated with canceled or failed events, inability to service customers, etc. You acknowledge that, by undertaking to service and/or repair your equipment, Alpha Appliance Repair is not accepting responsibility for any such risks. You agree all such risks are your own (and/or your company’s) alone, and you agree to hold harmless and exempt from liability Alpha Appliance Repair, its agents, and employees from any and all such harms. By allowing the technician to commence work, you explicitly waive the right to any contrary claim.
Waiver of Damages from Lifting Glass Cook Top
You understand that, in lifting a glass/ceramic cooktop surface to access components below it, there is an inherent risk of breakage. The top is attached with strong adhesive, and it is not always possible to achieve separation without surface fracturing. While expecting the technician to exercise every due level of care, you nevertheless recognize that the Technician and Alpha Appliance Repair explicitly refrain from accepting any responsibility for these risks. You agree all such risks are your own (and/or your company’s) alone, and you agree to hold harmless and exempt from Alpha Appliance Repair, its agents, and employees from any and all such responsibility. By allowing the technician to commence work, you explicitly waive the right to any contrary claim.
