What Contracts are available through Glofox

E-agreements (Boosted Functionality) 

An E-agreement, also known as an Electronic Agreement, is an electronic exchange of agreements, in this case, between you and your clients. Glofox E-agreements capture the signature of Waivers and Terms and Conditions. In Glofox, E-agreements refer to boosted functionality Contracts.

Your client will be prompted with an E-agreement on the Kiosk, Member App or Website Portal when they log into their profile.

E-agreements cover the following Contracts: 

• Waivers – Your clients are prompted to accept this waiver when they first register
• Membership Terms & Conditions – Clients are prompted to accept this every time they purchase a membership

Key Features

E-signatures

We have added additional protection features to E-agreements with mandatory e-signatures. E-signatures can be set up on Waivers and Membership Terms and Conditions only. When setting up, these signatures will be mandatory for your Clients. Once one of these E-agreement has been signed, both you and your client will receive a copy via email, and you will also be able to access the signed agreement from the client's profile in Glofox Pro and the Dashboard.

The e-signature will also include the date of signature and a copy of the exact terms that were accepted. This can prove very useful if you dispute with a client on some of the terms they accepted.

The ability to add multiple signatures

With E-agreements, you can add as many require e-signatures as you please throughout your Contracts. This means your clients will be sure to read the entire document, and not merely scroll to the end. This also proves that a particular piece was mentioned in your Contract, giving you additional security e.g. a cancellation fee or a pause policy. 

Alerts and reminders

With E-agreements, you will also be prompted to get a signature on from the class booking list and the access tab. 

Easy access to signed agreements for both you and your Clients

Both you and your clients will have copies of these signed E-agreements accessible through the Member app and Glofox Pro.

Why upgrade to E-agreements?

With Contracts, when you sign up a new client or process a membership purchase, the client wasn't required to sign the studio waiver or membership terms & conditions with an e-signature. If anything happened to your client without these forms being signed, you would find yourself in a tricky situation of who's right and who's wrong.

We have made it a priority to streamline this process for you to ensure you and your clients are covered before engaging in any physical activity at your Gym or Studio. 

Another benefit of E-agreements is that now your Gym or Studio has a way of tracking the exact terms accepted, and on the exact date, they were accepted. This helps you and your Clients know precisely what was said without question, thus, further enhancing your legal protection. 

There are also prompts to ensure no Client is missed, easy ways to re-send forms to clients for signatures, and much more. For more information or to upgrade reach out to us at customersuccess@glofox.com
