General Release of Liability
I, the legal owner of this dog, or its handler, understand that in consideration for participating in the training and activities authorized by this contract, that I am releasing, waiving, discharging and covenanting not to sue Dairydell, Inc., (hereafter referred to as Dairydell), its officers, owners, promoters, trainers, employees, sponsors, clients and each of them, for losses or damages and any claim of damage of any kind on account of sickness, death, loss or and/or injury to my dog or any other dog or person, as a result of negligence or otherwise, while the dog is on or off Dairydell’s premise, or after it leaves Dairydell.
Financial Responsibility for Illness or Accidents
By agreeing to leave my dog with Dairydell I am accepting all health risks and risks of injury as well as all financial responsibility for veterinary treatment that might result from them.
Assumption of Risk for Aggression
I understand that Dairydell maintains a policy that NO dogs with a history of biting or aggression toward humans or other dogs be enrolled in group classes. They may, however, be eligible for private instruction.
If I have withheld information from Dairydell regarding any aggressive behavior or tendencies in my dog, and my dog causes injury or loss to another dog or person, I will defend and indemnify Dairydell, Inc. from any resulting claims, demands, lawsuits, losses, costs or expenses, including attorney’s fees. I understand and expressly agree that this release, waiver and agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of California and that I have carefully read this release and know the content of the release and sign this release as an act of my own free will, and that the terms of this release are contractual in nature and are not just a recital.
Acceptance of Risks Around Animals and Agreement Not to Bring Children Under 12
If I am the handler of the dog in classes, I also acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to participate in dog training activities with Dairydell, Inc. I am aware that there are inherent risks and hazards involved in activities with and around dogs, and I am voluntarily participating in these activities with knowledge of these potential dangers. I am not relying on Dairydell or its staff, volunteers, management or owners, to prevent such occurrences. In order to participate in Dairydell classes, demonstrations or other activities, I am fully informed of such risks and hazards, and agree to assume all risks of such occurrences. I agree not to bring children under 12 to any group class. I hereby waive any and all claims or action that I, or my guardians, representatives, or assigns may have against Dairydell, and agree to release Dairydell from any and all liability for personal injury to myself, my dog, children in my charge, or harm to property caused directly or indirectly by acts that might occur while at Dairydell classes, events, and activities. I further agree to indemnify, defend and hold Dairydell harmless for damage, loss liability or expenses, including legal costs and attorneys’ fees which result from any damage caused by myself, children in my charge, or dog(s) that I own or handle.
Photo / Text Messaging Release
I authorize Dairydell, Inc. to photograph and/or video my dog or me and to use these images in future books, videos, promotional or educational materials, and hereby waive my claim to any compensation for such use.
I also authorize Dairydell to communicate questions or information regarding my dog via text to me whenever necessary.
