SHIPPING SIGNATURE WAIVER

I understand that Silence Activations DOES NOT require a signature to leave the equipment at your office/home if someone is not present to receive the packages. Requiring a signature will result in the shipping service making sure they hand the equipment to someone.

Signature NOT required: The package will be left unattended and is susceptible to theft and natural elements like rain that will damage the equipment. You will be liable for the missing/damaged Equipment from the date and time of delivery.


Signature Required: If a person is not present to receive the equipment, the delivery person will attempt the following business day. This may result delay in receiving the equipment and fir you to miss your event date. Silence Activations is not liable for any damages due to delayed receipt of the equipment from redelivery.
