Agreement template
The customer's authorisation for diagnosis and work, with the estimate, the overage limit and the supplemental approval written in.
Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.
Name your trade during setup — auto repair, towing and detailing — and this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use. It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.
Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

20 blanks. They are filled once per send, from what you already know or from your own system through the API. They go into the document; they do not change its wording, and what somebody signed is the version they were shown.
These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.
check what the law where you operate requires in an estimate, what notice and record a supplemental authorization needs, and whether an oral approval is enough.
check the mechanic's lien, notice and sale procedure where you operate before relying on this clause.
SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.
The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

1. What I am authorising. Diagnosis and the work described here: work description, for the estimated amount of estimate amount, including parts and labour but not tax unless stated. I authorise business name's staff to operate the vehicle on roads and on the premises for testing and for moving it.
2. The estimate is an estimate. If the work turns out to need more than the estimate, business name will stop and contact me on customer phone before going further, and will not exceed estimate amount by more than overage allowance without my agreement recorded in writing. A supplemental authorization covers each additional amount.
3. Diagnosis charge. If I decline the work after diagnosis, the diagnostic charge of diagnostic fee is still due, and the vehicle is reassembled to the state described here: reassembly terms.
4. Parts. The parts used are parts type — new, remanufactured, aftermarket or used as stated. Old parts are returned to me if I ask before the work starts, except parts that must be sent back under a warranty or exchange, or that the law requires to be kept.
5. Warranty. The work carries warranty terms. A warranty claim is made to business name first, and work done elsewhere in the meantime is not covered.
6. Personal property. I have removed anything of value from the vehicle. business name is not responsible for personal property left in it, or for damage from a pre-existing condition, a fault not related to this work, or road hazards during testing.
7. Collection and storage. I will collect the vehicle within collection days days of being told it is ready. After that, storage is charged at storage rate per day, and business name's rights over an uncollected vehicle are as the law allows.
