*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Unlike an unconditional waiver, a conditional waiver protects the contractor if a check bounces — but it's used for PROGRESS payments during a project, covering only work through a specific date, not the final payment (which uses a separate unconditional waiver once the project and payment are fully complete).*
