The Two Waivers Every Contractor Needs $17 each

These are the two forms that determine whether you are protecting your payment rights or giving them away too early. Use the right one at the right moment.

Conditional Lien Waiver

$17

Use with every progress payment. Releases your lien rights only if the check clears — protects you if payment bounces.

  • Upon-payment release
  • Protects payment rights
  • Use for draws & progress billings
