Release of Liability

In consideration of the provision of dog walking and dog sitting services provided by Dawg Tired Inc. and their employees, agents or contractors as more particularly described on the website dawgtired.ca (the “Services”), I, for myself and my family members, heirs, executors, representatives and administrators (the “Releasors”), hereby agree to release and discharge Dawg Tired Inc. and its employees, agents, contractors, volunteers, shareholders, directors and affiliated companies (the “Releasees”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or rights of actions which are related to, arise out of, or are in any way connected to the provision of the Services including in respect of any and all injury, illness, disease, death and other damage and loss to myself or to other persons, animals or to property. In the event of any injury, illness, disease, death and other damage and loss to myself, to others persons or animals or to property, I agree that I shall be liable for any and all costs and expenses that I may be required to incur or expend in connection therewith, including but not limited to medical and veterinarian costs. In addition, I agree that I shall remain solely liable and responsible, and shall indemnify and save harmless Dawg Tried Inc. and the each of the Releasees, for any harm, damage or injury caused by my dog(s) to any persons (including myself or third parties), property or animals.

I give permission for Dawg Tired to use a photograph/video of my dog(s) for their web page, social media and/or marketing material including my testimonials and comments as it pertains to Dawg Tired Inc.

I acknowledge that the provision of the Services and my participation and retention of the Services entails known and unknown risks that could result in injury, illness, disease, death and other damage and loss to myself, to others persons or animals or to property. I understand that the provision of the Services may expose me, my dog, my property and other third parties to various risks which include, but are not limited to, the hazards of walking/running on variations in terrain; steepness of slopes; slips and fall; the forces of nature, including lightning, rain, snow, ice, sleet, bare spots and changing weather conditions; falling off a rock, mountain, or any obstacle; the risks of exposure to insect bites, animal bites, frostbite, hypothermia, sunburn; normal city hazards, including traffic; and the possibility of encountering wildlife both in and out of the city.

I agree that I am responsible for my own safety, as well as the safety of my family members, including my dog(s), and I agree to assume and accept all the risks and dangers that are associated with the provision of the Services and my participation in them. The retention and hiring of Dawg Tried Inc. for the provision of the Services is purely voluntary despite the foregoing risks and, at any point, I may elect to cease participating in the Services, and dismiss or terminate Dawg Tried Inc. from providing the Services.

I agree to supply Dawg Tired Inc. with keys and/or alarm codes to enter my premises with the express purpose of picking up and dropping off my dog(s) in order to provide the Services. I understand that my keys will be returned to me within 48 hours of my written dismissal or termination of Dawg Tired Inc.’s services. I understand that should Dawg Tired Inc. lose a key(s) or otherwise cause damage to my security alarm or ancillary damage to my premises as a result thereof that they will indemnify me for the cost or expense incurred to replace the key(s) or remedy the damage up to a maximum cost of $400.00.

This Liability Release and all aspect thereof specifically includes and applies to what may be considered to be inferred, or deemed acts or omissions of the Corporation, including negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care, on the part of any of the Releasees but excludes acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any of the Releasees.
