Waiver and Release of Liability
By authorizing Protektd LLC, doing business as Protektd Detailing ("Company"), to perform automotive protection and detailing services on your vehicle, you ("Customer") acknowledge and agree to the following terms. Please read this waiver carefully before authorizing any work.
1. Assumption of Risk
You understand that auto detailing, ceramic coating, paint protection film installation, color PPF installation, paint correction, and window tinting involve inherent risks, including but not limited to:
- Paint correction: Machine polishing may reveal pre-existing defects including thin paint, previous body work, or factory imperfections that were masked by oxidation, swirl marks, or contamination
- Ceramic coating: Coatings form a durable, long-lasting bond with the paint surface and may make pre-existing defects more visible
- PPF and color PPF installation: Film installation may reveal or highlight existing paint imperfections beneath the film
- Window tinting: Film application may reveal pre-existing glass defects including micro-scratches or delamination. Small dust particles may occasionally be trapped during installation
- Trim and exterior components: Aged, worn, or aftermarket trim, emblems, antennas, and accessories may become loose or damaged during standard washing, claying, or polishing procedures
2. Pre-Existing Conditions
You acknowledge that your vehicle may have pre-existing conditions that could affect the outcome of services, including:
- Thin or damaged factory paint
- Previous body work, repaints, or touch-ups
- Rust, corrosion, or oxidation
- Rock chips, scratches, and dents
- Aftermarket modifications
- Previous ceramic coatings, waxes, or sealants
The Company performs a pre-service inspection and will document existing conditions. The Company is not responsible for issues arising from pre-existing conditions.
3. Release of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, you hereby release, waive, and discharge Protektd LLC, its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action arising from or related to:

4. Personal Property
The Company is not responsible for personal items left in the vehicle during service. We recommend removing all valuables, electronics, and personal items before dropping off your vehicle. While we take reasonable precautions, we are not liable for theft, loss, or damage to personal property.

7. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Consistent with our Terms of Service, any dispute arising from or related to this waiver or the services performed shall first be addressed through direct communication with our management team, and if not resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration in Dallas County, Texas, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
