Under the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) regulations, a handyman can only perform work totaling less than $500 (labor and materials combined) without a contractor's license. Your waiver should clearly state the project scope to avoid 'unlicensed work liability' claims if the project inadvertently exceeds this amount, while referencing Cal. Civ. Code § 1624 if any part of the agreement falls under the Statute of Frauds.
While a liability waiver primarily addresses physical and property risks, including language regarding independent contractor status helps align with the ABC test under AB 5 (Cal. Lab. Code § 2750.3). However, it is essential to ensure you are truly independent to avoid reclassification.
The waiver is primarily governed by California Civil Code § 1550, which requires lawful consideration and capacity. It also incorporates Mechanics Lien Law (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 8000 et seq.) disclosures to ensure you maintain your right to secure payment for work performed on the property.
