Pet socialization services will only be provided following the execution of a signed pet socialization waiver. Additionally, socialization will be conducted exclusively among pets within a similar weight class, or under conditions where adequate supervision is ensured throughout the stay. If no compatible weight-matched companions are available, pet socialization will not be permitted due to the potential risk of injury.
This Pet Socialization Waiver and Release of Liability (“Waiver”) is entered into by the undersigned pet owner (“Owner”) in favor of Paws & Relaxx (“Provider”) for the provision of pet socialization and pet sitting services (“Services”) conducted at my home-based facility.
1. Acknowledgment of Risks: Owner acknowledges that pet socialization activities inherently involve risks, including but not limited to injuries, illnesses, or behavioral incidents among pets. Owner understands that these activities are inherently unpredictable, and participation is entirely voluntary.
2. Assumption of Risk: By signing this Waiver, Owner agrees to assume all risks associated with the participation of their pet in the Services, including any potential injury, illness, or loss. Owner accepts full responsibility for any adverse outcomes resulting from pet interactions and related activities.
3. Release and Waiver: Owner, on behalf of themselves, their heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, hereby releases and discharges Paws & Relaxx from any and all claims, liabilities, or causes of action arising from the Services, including claims for personal injury, property damage, or death, regardless of whether such claims are based on negligence or any other legal theory.
4. Indemnification: Owner agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Paws&Relaxx from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including attorney fees) arising out of or in connection with their pet’s participation in the Services.
5. Health and Safety Requirements: Owner certifies that their pet is in good health, is current on all vaccinations, and does not have any known conditions that could endanger the health or safety of other pets or participants. Owner agrees to provide current veterinary or immunization records upon request.
6. Emergency Medical Treatment: In the event of an emergency, Owner authorizes Paws & Relaxx to secure veterinary care for their pet. Owner acknowledges that any costs incurred for such emergency treatment will be the sole responsibility of the Owner.
7. Photographic and Media Release: Owner grants permission to Paws&Relaxx to photograph or video record their pet during the provision of Services. These images or recordings may be used for promotional or marketing purposes, unless the Owner expressly requests otherwise in writing.
8. Governing Law and Severability: This Waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Services are provided. If any provision of this Waiver is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing below, the Owner acknowledges that they have read, fully understand, and voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Waiver. Also, this form will be valid after signing for each visit unless the Owner specifies otherwise and we will void this document.
