KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-07, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-07, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Principal to ensure all pool service operations comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regarding the handling of chlorine, muriatic acid, and other hazardous reagents. This includes the authority to execute compliance logs and ensure discharge of wastewater is performed in accordance with the EPA Clean Water Act (CWA) and Maryland state environmental regulations. The Agent shall be responsible for maintaining Certified Pool & Spa Operator (CPO) documentation where required for jurisdictional compliance.
Pursuant to the Maryland Consumer Protection Act, the Agent is authorized to enter into service contracts that include necessary disclaimers regarding drowning risks, equipment failure, and water damage. Specifically, the Agent may execute agreements that limit company liability for equipment failures due to pre-existing conditions or manufacturer defects, and shall enforce terms requiring Maryland customers to maintain functional safety barriers, fences, and alarms as required by local county building codes.
The Agent is granted the power to oversee compliance with the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501 et seq.). This includes the authority to manage deductions, finalize wage payments for departing employees, and ensure that any restrictive covenants issued to employees comply with Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716 regarding low-wage worker non-compete limitations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

Name: Principal
Date: 2026-04-07
In the specialized Maryland pool service industry, owners often need to delegate authority for chemical handling, water discharge compliance, and vendor management. Whether you need to empower a lead technician to manage OSHA-compliant chemical storage or authorize an agent to handle Maryland-specific Wage Payment and Collection Law requirements, our tailored Power of Attorney allows you to maintain business continuity while mitigating typical industry liabilities such as drowning risks and equipment failure disputes.
Yes. Under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501 et seq.), you can empower an agent via this POA to manage payroll schedules and final pay distributions, ensuring your company avoids underpayment penalties and stays compliant with Maryland's specific categories for overtime wage coverage.
Within the 'Powers Granted' section, you can specifically authorize your agent to manage environmental reporting and ensure that pool wastewater and chemicals are disposed of according to EPA Clean Water Act (CWA) standards and Maryland Department of the Environment mandates.
While a POA delegates decision-making power, you should be aware of Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716, which limits non-compete agreements for workers earning less than $15/hour. This POA is designed for management-level delegation and should be issued to trustworthy agents capable of handling chemical handling liabilities.
Yes. To be enforceable in Maryland, the Power of Attorney must be signed by the principal, verified by a notary public, and typically witnessed by at least two individuals to prevent fraud and ensure legal capacity.
