General Principles: No waiver of privilege is binding unless the applicant signs and provides a waiver and waiver. If signed by the applicant or their authorized representative, the signed form is effective in releasing the following: Caution: Paying your contractor (and/or an exemption from your contractor) does not guarantee that other applicants, such as subcontractors and suppliers, will be paid. An applicant is a person who, if not paid, can deposit a lien on your property. To be effective, the waiver and waiver forms must essentially follow one of the forms set out in articles 8132, 8134, 8136 and 8138 of the Civil Code. The forms are as follows: See the Conditional Waiver and Release Form for final payment. For more information about mechanical privileges, see Understanding Mechanical Privileges. Use this form if the applicant signs a waiver and initiates it in exchange or to initiate a final payment, and the applicant claims in the waiver that they have received the final payment. See the Waiver and Unconditional Release form for final payment. In the case of a conditional exemption, the exemption is only binding if proof of payment to the applicant is available. Proof of payment can be proven by: Use this form if the applicant needs to sign a waiver and exemption in exchange or to initiate a final payment and the applicant has not yet been paid. This exemption is only binding if proof of payment is available to the applicant. Proof of payment can be proven by: Use this form if the applicant needs to sign a waiver and exemption in exchange for or initiating an initial payment and the applicant has not yet been paid.

Such conditional waiver and compensation shall be effective only if the claimant is actually paid. This version does not cover all elements. See the form for conditional waiver and release in case of progressive payment… .
