Is it worth the risk?
Most clients pay without a problem — and that's great. But the one time a payment falls through, a non-compliant waiver means you may have no legal recourse. Missouri requires specific statutory language per Mo. Rev. Stat. § 429.016 — a generic template won't protect you. Is that really worth risking on a $50,000 job? It takes 2 minutes to use the right form.
