I, {q3_fullname1}, acknowledge and agree that I am financially responsible for all veterinary services, products, medications, diagnostics, hospitalization, and other charges provided to any animals under this account. Payment is due in full at the time services are rendered or products are provided, unless a payment arrangement has been approved in writing by Cottonwood Animal Clinic prior to services being provided.
I understand that any estimate provided by Cottonwood Animal Clinic is an estimate only and that the final amount due may vary based on the services, medications, diagnostics, treatment, or other care actually provided. I authorize Cottonwood Animal Clinic to provide veterinary care that I request or authorize and agree to pay all resulting charges.
If I intend to seek reimbursement from a third party, including but not limited to pet insurance, I understand that I remain solely responsible for payment of my account. Insurance reimbursement or disputes with an insurance company do not delay, reduce, or otherwise affect my obligation to Cottonwood Animal Clinic.
If I am unable to pay the balance when it is due, I agree to notify the clinic before services are provided and request a payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are not guaranteed and are valid only when specifically approved by Cottonwood Animal Clinic in writing.
I understand that unpaid balances may be subject to a service charge of 3% per month (or a minimum of $3.50 per month) beginning 30 days after the balance becomes due, as permitted by applicable law. I further understand that unpaid balances may be subject to collection efforts and any lawful fees or costs associated with collection. I agree to be responsible for all such service charges, fees, and costs.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to the financial responsibility terms above.
