I am receiving a lot of knives from viewers of my channel, and I have started having them fill out a form. It started as a way to keep track of which knife belonged to which person, then I added a bit for legal liability.
I was wondering if anyone else has something similar? Any suggestions? I do not want too much legaleze, but I do want to manage people's expectations as well.
Here is a copy of the text:
Knife repair form:

4) Pictures and/or videos of the knife may be used and posted online. The owner may opt to NOT have pictures or videos posted by initialing here: __________

Re: Repair form questions
You might want to include a spot for the customer's email.
I do all of my business via email-start to finish. That way I have records of the conversation from start until I send a receipt for payment received.

I set all of mine up in email, but you are correct that it would work much better if I added it to the form.
