Liability Waiver
The waiver a parent or guardian signs when booking a Dormed campus tour.
This document is a placeholder. It has not been written or reviewed by a lawyer and is not a binding agreement. The sections below describe how Dormed intends to operate; the enforceable text will replace them before launch.
version 2026-08-draft
1.Who is signing, and on whose behalf
The person booking is an adult — a parent or legal guardian — signing for themselves and for the student they are bringing onto campus.
The signature is drawn on screen at the end of booking and stored with the booking record, together with the version of this waiver that was on screen at the time.
2.Assumption of risk
A Dormed tour is an in-person meeting with a student the family has not met before, followed by 60–90 minutes of walking around a working university campus.
The ordinary risks include walking on uneven ground, stairs, weather, traffic on and around campus, other people present in public spaces, and the fact that neither party has met the other before.
The family accepts those risks knowingly when it books.
3.Parent and guardian supervision of minors
The booking adult stays with the visiting student and in sight of them for the whole tour. This is a condition of the booking, not a recommendation.
The guide is a student showing a family around. They are not a chaperone, a babysitter, or responsible for the supervision, safety, or behaviour of a minor at any point.
4.Meeting in public, and where a tour goes
Tours begin at a public, posted meeting point — Student Union — Main Entrance — and stay in public and common areas of campus.
No tour enters a private dorm room or residence, and no tour involves travel by car.
If anything feels wrong, either side may end the tour immediately and leave. Nobody is expected to stay in a situation they are uncomfortable in, and telling Dormed afterwards is enough.
5.Dormed's role: an introduction, not supervision
Dormed matches a family with a student guide, takes the payment, and provides the messaging they use to arrange the meeting.
Dormed does not employ guides, does not attend tours, does not supervise them, and has no representative on campus. It verifies that a guide registered with a university email ending in .edu — which shows enrollment at a domain, and nothing more. There is no background check and no identity check.
6.Release and scope
This is where the release itself goes: what claims are being released, against whom (Dormed, its staff, the guide, and possibly the university), and what is not released.
It is empty on purpose. This is the operative clause of the document and it is not something to draft without a lawyer.
7.Emergencies and contact
In an emergency during a tour, call campus security or 911 first, then tell Dormed.
Dormed support is reachable by email and is not a live emergency channel — nobody is monitoring it minute by minute during a tour.
Email support@dormed.app. In an emergency during a tour, call campus security or 911 first.
