Default event disclaimer
A reusable disclaimer that RSVP-enabled events can opt into.
Many troops want a standard waiver or release-of-liability paragraph attached to every RSVP. The default disclaimer is a single block of rich text that you author once in Settings and then opt-in per event.
Setup
In Admin > Settings > Default Event Disclaimer:
- Paste or type your disclaimer into the rich-text editor.
- Use bold, italic, lists, and links as needed.
- Click Save.
Leaving the field empty is fine — it just means new events won't have a "Use troop default" option.
How it's applied
When a leader creates an event with RSVPs enabled, the disclaimer section offers up to three choices:
- No disclaimer — RSVPs do not require acknowledgment.
- Use troop default — uses what you set here. Shows a preview to the event creator.
- Custom — opens a per-event editor so the leader can write something specific to this trip.
The "Use troop default" option only appears if you've actually saved a default. The choice is per-event, so you can mix defaults and custom waivers across the calendar.
What parents see
When an attendee RSVPs Yes to an event with a disclaimer, they must check an "I agree" box before the RSVP is recorded. The text and timestamp are stored with their RSVP for your records.
