General Service Authorization and Release I ACKNOWLEDGE this is a release of my rights to sue. I AGREE that if any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be severed from this agreement. The remainder of this agreement will then be construed as though the unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. THIS AGREEMENT is entered into between Dive Georgia and the individual signed below, hereinafter "CUSTOMER", for the service and/or repair of scuba, cylinder, skin diving equipment, and/or any other equipment provided to Dive Gerogia to service.

If I wish to change this permission, I agree to use the “OPT OUT” option provided in each marketing media, whether via link, page, call, or reply text/SMS. CUSTOMER agrees to personally inspect and verify function of their equipment before each and every use and only use such equipment if it is fully operational. In the event such equipment is not fully functional during inspection, I will stop using such equipment immediately, and bring such equipment to an authorized service center for repairs.

I do not request a written estimate provided the repair/service costs do not exceed double of the posted labor cost to cover routine parts and materials. Dive Georgia may not exceed that limit without my approval. REPAIR AGREEMENT: I hereby authorize the above work to be carried out. I agree that Dive Georgia will not be held responsible for loss or damage to my equipment as a result of fire, theft, accident or any other cause beyond control. Any equipment left after 7 days of notice of completion of work will be subject to a storage charge. Any equipment left after 30 days of notice of completion may be sold to cover the cost of service.

I agree that there has been no warranties made to me expressed or implied to the performance or compatibility of such items. Cylinder Service Authorization Visual safety inspections need to be done on your scuba cylinder to assure its continued safe service. The frequency of these inspections depends upon the kind of use, care and maintenance your cylinder gets. The more often it is used, the worse its care, maintenance and handling, the more frequently it should be inspected. Your cylinder should also be inspected before further use whenever it is known to have been exposed to temperatures over 350°F, been in an accident, known or suspected to be leaking, dropped, fell, was struck, has obvious corrosion since the last visual inspection, has a gouge, dent, scrape, cut, dig or, in any way, has been damaged since the last visual inspection, or was stored with water, material or matter inside the cylinder. Your cylinder should not be used if it is, or is suspected to be, leaking or has been drained of all pressure. Your cylinder should be inspected once every twelve months, or more frequently in certain cases. The visual inspector can help you decide how frequently your cylinder should be inspected. If it is time, or, you suspect or have any concern about the general condition of your scuba cylinder, a visual inspection by an experienced visual inspector is needed. Most cylinders require 5 year hydrostatic testings and valve service and pressure relief devices be serviced at least every 5 years. I agree, as a condition of having this visual inspection or hydrostatic test, that the cylinder will be condemned and rendered unusable if it does not meet the accepted standards by the CFR, DOT, CGA, or manufacturer for continued service. I will receive a written report of any and all conditions, which caused the cylinder to fail the inspection and to be condemned. Also, I will have the condemned cylinder, accessories, components, and valve returned to me. April 19, 2024 |
