A claimant  \nis a person who, if not paid, can file a lien on your home.  \nTo be effective, the waiver and release forms must follow substantially one of the forms  \nset forth in Civil Code Section 3262. The four forms are:  \n• Conditional Waiver And Release Upon Progress Payment  \n• Unconditional Waiver And Release Upon Progress Payment  \n• Conditional Waiver And Release Upon Final Payment  \n• Unconditional Waiver And Release Upon Final Payment  \nThese forms are binding if signed by the claimant or his or her authorized agent. The  \nsigned form is effective to release:  \n• the owner;  \n• the construction lender; and  \n• the surety (in the case of a payment bond) .  \nCaution: in the case of a conditional release, the release is only binding if there is  \nevidence of payment to the claimant. Evidence of payment may be demonstrated by:  \n• the claimant’s endorsement on a single check or a joint payee check which has been paid by the bank upon which it was drawn; or  \n• written acknowledgment of payment given by the claimant.  \nConditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment  \nUse this form when the claimant is required to execute a waiver and release in exchange for or in order to induce the payment of a progress payment and the claimant has not been paid. This form is useful when the claimant has not been paid yet, but will be paid out of a progress payment that is not the final payment. This conditional waiver and release is only effective if the claimant is actually paid. This release does not cover all items. See the “Conditional Waiver And Release Upon Progress Payment” form for more information.  \n\n| CONDITIONAL WAIVER AND RELEASE UPON PROGRESS PAYMENT\u003Cbr>Civil Code Section 3262(d)( 1)\u003Cbr>Upon receipt by the undersigned of a check from________________________________________\u003Cbr>MAKER OF CHECK |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| in the sum of $  AMOUNT OF CHECK | payable to  \u003Cbr>PAYEE OR PAYEES OF CHECK |\n| and when the check has been properly endorsed and has been paid by the bank upon which it is drawn, this document shall become effective to release any mechanic’s lien, stop notice, or bond right\u003Cbr>the undersigned has on the job of  \u003Cbr>OWNER\u003Cbr>located at   to the following extent.\u003Cbr>JOB DESCRIPTION\u003Cbr>This release covers a progress payment for labor, services, equipment, or material furnished to\u003Cbr>  through  \u003Cbr>YOUR CUSTOMER DATE\u003Cbr>only and does not cover any retentions retained before or after the release date; extras furnished before the release date for which payment has not been received; extras or items furnished after the release date.
