This Agreement is binding upon Client, spouse of Client, and children of Client. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, representations, warranties, and agreements of the parties, and expresses the entire agreement between Client and Mirror Image K9 regarding the matters described above.
The parties confirm that, except for that which is specifically written in this Agreement, no promises, representations or oral understandings have been made.
