READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING – THIS IS A LEGAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY

By signing this Agreement, I (hereinafter "Participant," "Owner," or "I") acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions outlined herein for my entry and my dog(s)' entry into The Bark & Sip (hereinafter "The Facility"). I understand that participating in activities at The Facility involves inherent risks.

1. Acknowledgement of Inherent Risks: I understand and acknowledge that participation in an off-leash dog park environment and interaction with dogs, even under supervision, carries inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, dog bites, scratches, injuries from rough play or altercations between dogs, transmission of communicable diseases (despite vaccination requirements), falls, trips, and other accidents or injuries to myself, my dog(s), or third parties. I understand that dogs, regardless of training, can be unpredictable.

2. Assumption of Risk: I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any and all risks of injury, death, or property damage to myself, my dog(s), or any third party (including minors under my supervision, though minors are prohibited per Facility rules) while on The Facility premises or participating in any activities. I understand that I am entering an environment where animals may interact, and I accept these risks knowingly.

3. Strict Adherence to Facility Rules and Policies (including 21+ Age Restriction): I agree to strictly adhere to all posted rules and regulations of The Bark & Sip, as well as any verbal instructions given by Facility staff or Canine Coaches. I understand and accept that The Bark & Sip is a 21 and over facility, and I must present a valid ID for entry. I will not attempt to enter with any person under the age of 21, including infants or children. I understand that violation of this, or any other rule, may result in immediate expulsion from The Facility and/or revocation of my membership without refund.

4. Owner Responsibility and Liability: I certify that I am the legal owner or authorized handler of the dog(s) I bring to The Facility. I affirm that my dog(s) are current on all required vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP/DA2PP, Bordetella, Canine Influenza as recommended/required) and have had a negative fecal test within the last six (6) months. I also confirm that my dog(s) over six (6) months of age are spayed or neutered and that no female dogs are currently in heat. I understand that I am solely responsible for my dog's behavior, actions, and any damage or injury caused by my dog(s) to persons, other dogs, or property, including Facility property. I agree to pay for any damages or veterinary bills resulting from incidents involving my dog(s).

5. Emergency Veterinary Care Consent: In the event of an emergency involving my dog(s) where I am unable to be reached, I authorize The Bark & Sip staff to seek immediate veterinary attention for my dog(s) at my expense. I understand that every effort will be made to contact me prior to any extensive treatment.

6. Release of Liability and Indemnification: In consideration for being permitted to use The Bark & Sip facility and participate in its activities, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue The Bark & Sip, its owners, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and affiliated entities (collectively, "Releasees") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever, arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me, my dog(s), or any property belonging to me, whether caused by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, while participating in any activity at The Facility or while on The Facility premises.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or costs, including attorney's fees, that they may incur due to my, or my dog's, presence at The Facility or participation in any activities, whether caused by my negligence, the negligence of my dog(s), or otherwise.

7. Photo/Video Release: I grant The Bark & Sip permission to use photographs and/or videos of me and my dog(s) taken at The Facility for promotional, marketing, or educational purposes, without compensation.

8. Severability: If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
