Storage Waiver

Potentially providing some storage over the winter for a neighbor, we are friendly, but both agreed on some level of documentation.
I know it was discussed in a previous thread what the waiver was called @crankcall mentioned it.

If anyone knows of a link to a printable version free or paid, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

In closing, yes, well aware of the potential risks and people are asshats etc.
 
If I offered to store bikes for my neighbour, and the neighbour asked for a waiver, I would immediately withdraw my offer to store their bikes.
If they want paid, insured storage, they can pay for it. Your "homeowners" policy won't touch a bike, YOU would need a separate policy to insure for liability on THEIR bikes.
And a "waiver" doesn't change your liability, it just makes the trial easier

To me, asking for a waiver from a neighbour that offers free storage is a "asshat" move
 
I would recommend something written up by a lawyer. A few hundred $ and you can use it time and again with higher protection than something found online.

Re-read my post. "but both agreed on some level of documentation." Perhaps my use of "Waiver" was incorrect or over stepping?.
Who said anything about a motorcycle being stored?

Nah, again you're creating a scenario that doesn't exist. But I certainly understand the caution. It's a one time thing.
 
We have a “hold harmless” agreement we use when boats are stored at my boat club . I’ll see if I can find you a copy . It just means if a tree falls over, barn collapses or a satellite falls from the sky it’s not your problem.

I asked my lawyer about a waiver and he said it would be about $250 to write the letter but $10,000 to research what to write.

Ask a bank for an account application form and somewhere in it you will find "In case of a dispute, you lose."
 
I've stored bikes for 3 friends on different occasions in my garage for 6+ months each time.
I didn't charge them anything for it and no paperwork was involved. I knew them well enough not to try and screw me over if their bike was stolen or caught on fire etc as mine was stored alongside theirs as well.

If someone asked me for paperwork I wouldn't agree to store their bikes for them and refer them to a paid storage facility instead.
Hopefully your neighbor is someone who wouldn't try to pull a fast one stating that a scratch was discovered once he comes to pick it up later.
 
You could use a standard lease agreement, like for a rental, and modify it to you use case. I did something similar for a neighbour who needed some garage space to work on his car for a few months.

Again, no one asked for paperwork, we felt something in writing would protect us both. I don't currently have any concerns with this person, but since they live next door we both want to ensure we don't need to build a high fence between us in the future.. LOL
Everything thing we are discussing is friendly conversation and still not 100% sure if any storage will be required.
Also it's not a motorcycle, just items.

For simplicity, I would be more inclined to grab an existing template than write my own from scratch. I think documentation is a good idea even if it is a relatively informal relationship. A few minutes of thinking now can save hours of lawyering and pain later.

You, or the bank, can put anything you want in a document or contract... it doesn't mean it is legally binding.
Both side of a contract have in-alienable rights that no "waiver" will change. You can't sign away your rights, nor can a document add to your rights.
 
Consider adding a set time frame for the storage.

You likely don't want this stuff there until the end of time. They do not want a call in February demanding immediate removal.

100% agree, sad that we have to govern what we do with such *lazy and negative statements..
*Not a comment towards you @Evoex just the statement and believe me I am far from naive to what good intentions bring..
My neighbor and I had a good laugh and discussed the exact same thing, this is why we agreed on some level of documentation.
My feeling is the storage related items, will end up in the dump or some other place before my place, he was concerned about this ruining a good thing, we've both been burned before...
