What type of conditional waiver should I use if the customer is making a 50% down payment and then 2 additional payments for a project?

ArizonaLien Waivers

Hello, I am looking to send a Conditional waiver to a customer. I am not sure if I should use the final payment or progress payment. The customer will be paying 50% down and them make 2 smaller payments as the project progresses. The timeline does not match the payments (for example the service is not provide monthly for a monthly fee.)

Good question! Generally, if further payments are expected on a job, then a "partial" or "progress" waiver will be more appropriate than a final lien waiver. Final lien waivers are used at the end of a project, and submitting a final waiver indicates that full payment has been made or will be exchanged for the waiver that's been submitted. So, where there are significant amounts to be paid further down the line, a final lien waiver typically won't be appropriate.
