I have enrolled myself and my dog in dog training classes, private consultations, workshops or other related services offered by North Star Canine Connection, LLC.
By signing hereunder, I certify that I have been informed and understand that there is always some unavoidable risk of injury involved when working with animals, especially animals with behavioral issues. I acknowledge that dogs can be inherently difficult to control, and that not all dogs will be under control at all times resulting in the possibility of injury to myself, my dog, my family members, or third parties. Additionally, I have had full opportunity to discuss all concerns I have about the foregoing risks with North Star Canine Connection, LLC and its authorized representatives. I have also made all inquiries and investigations to my satisfaction related to such risks, including, but not limited to, an examination of the training area (if applicable).
I hereby accept and assume, without reservation, all risks associated with my participation in the services offered, including, but not limited to: the risks of any and all injuries to myself, my dog and any of my family members or third parties who may attend; the risks that my dog may cause injury to other persons and/or dogs involved in the services; and the risks that saliva, water, food, snow and/or other debris may be present in the training area.
As lawful consideration for participating in the classes, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns (the “Releasing Party”), hereby waive, release, discharge and agree not to sue and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless North Star Canine Connection, LLC, their members, managers, agents, and employees (the “Released Party”) from any and all injuries, losses, claims and damages to any person or persons of any nature whatsoever. This includes all costs associated therewith, including attorney’s fees, court costs and consultant fees, arising from my participation in the services offered by North Star Canine Connection, LLC.
This Waiver of Liability & Informed Consent Release shall be legally binding on the Releasing Party. Should the Releasing Party assert a claim to the contrary to what I have agreed to in this Waiver of Liability and Informed Consent Release, the claiming party shall be liable for all expenses (including attorney’s fees, court costs and consultant fees) incurred by both the Releasing Party and the Released Party. No waiver or modification of any provision herein shall be valid unless expressly agreed to in writing by both the Released Party and the Releasing Party.
I hereby release North Star Canine Connection, LLC and Elizabeth Beaulieu from any and all claims for damages for libel, slander, invasion of privacy or any other claim based on use of the above-described material(s). Every provision herein is intended to be severable. If any one or more of the provisions herein is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that shall not affect the other terms and provisions hereof, which shall remain binding and enforceable.
I hereby certify that my dog is in good health and has not been exposed to distemper, rabies, kennel cough, parvo, or other known contagious diseases within the last thirty days. I also attest that my dog is free of worms, heartworm, and fleas and is on preventatives for these parasites. (If not, I have disclosed further explanation to North Star Canine Connection.) My dog is current on all vaccinations appropriate for the dogs age:
Puppies 8-16 weeks: Distemper/Parvo combo.
Dogs over 16 weeks: Distemper/Parvo combo, Rabies.
I hereby acknowledge that I, my dog, and my family may be included in photos or videos recordings and authorize North Star Canine Connection, LLC to exhibit them for educational purposes.
Group Class Withdrawals / Cancellations / Refunds Policy: Because we are dedicated to maintaining small classes with plenty of one-on-one interaction, we must strictly maintain a cancellation or withdrawal policy so please be sure you are in the right class and it’s appropriate for your dog before you register. Cancellations with less than 7 days notice will not be refunded unless we can give your spot to someone on a waiting list. Cancellations made before 7 days will be fully refunded, minus a $10 processing fee. After the class has started, no refunds or account credits will be given. Since we maintain limited enrollment, we appreciate your cooperation to help keep our classes small and effective for you.
Missed Classes: There are no make-up classes if you miss a regularly scheduled class. (You can opt to schedule and pay for a private session.) We make every effort to provide a review in every class.
Private Lesson Cancellation Policy: You may cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment with no charges incurred. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice you will be charged a $30.00 fee and the balance of the amount will go on your client account as a credit to be used for a future appointment. If you cancel with less than 12 hours notice, or do not appear for your lesson, you will forfeit the entire amount of the consultation fee.
The foregoing provisions shall be fully binding upon and shall be effective against the class participant, its heirs, successors, legal representatives or assigns and shall apply to the actions of the class participant personally, the class participant’s family, guests, employees or agents.
