The Vermont Waiver of Service of Summons is a document used in Vermont civil court proceedings to waive the requirement that a summons be served on a defendant. The Vermont Waiver of Service of Summons must be signed in front of a notary public or other authorized person in order for it to be valid. There are two types of Vermont Waiver of Service of Summons: an unconditional waiver and a conditional waiver. An unconditional waiver permits a defendant to waive the right to be served with a summons and to waive all defenses or objections that may be based on the failure to serve process. A conditional waiver permits a defendant to waive the right to be served with a summons, but to preserve all defenses and objections that may be based on the failure to serve process. Both types of waivers must be signed in front of a notary public or other authorized person in order to be valid.
