This is a Contract between Your Kennel (hereinafter
called "Kennel") and the pet owner whose signature appears
below (hereinafter called "Owner").
- Owner agrees to pay the rate for boarding in effect on the date
pet is checked into the kennel (as posted in office).
- Owner further agrees to pay all costs and charges for special
services requested, and all veterinary costs for the pet during the
time said pet is in the care of Kennel.
- Owner further agrees that the pet shall not leave Kennel until
all charges are paid to Kennel by Owner.
- By signing this Contract and leaving his pet with Kennel, Owner
certifies to the accuracy of all information given about said pet,
that Kennel's liability shall in no event exceed the lesser of the
current chattel value of a pet of the same species or the sum of
$200 per animal boarded. The Owner further agrees to be solely
responsible for any and all acts or behavior of said pet while it is
in the care of Kennel.
- Owner specifically represents that he or she is the sole owner of
the pet, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
- Owner specifically represents to Kennel that the pet has not been
exposed to rabies, distemper, parvo virus, feline leukemia or other
contagious diseases within a thirty day period prior to boarding.
- All charges incurred by Owner shall be payable upon pick-up of
pet, or when billed by Kennel at the address listed on Contract.
Kennel shall have, and is hereby granted, a lien on the pet for any
and all unpaid charges resulting from boarding the pet at Kennel. If
Owner does not pick up the pet within 14 calendar days after the day
the pet was due to be picked up, the pet shall be deemed to be
abandoned. The person into whose custody the pet was placed for care
shall first try for a period of not less than 10 days to find a new
owner for the pet, and, if unable to place the pet with a new owner,
shall thereafter humanely destroy the pet so abandoned.
- If the pet becomes ill or if the state of the pet's health
otherwise requires professional attention, the Kennel, in its sole
discretion, may engage the services of a veterinarian or administer
medicine or give other requisite attention to the pet, and the
expenses thereof shall be paid by Owner.
- This Contract contains the entire agreement between the parties.
All terms and conditions of this Contract shall be binding on the
heirs, administrators, personal representatives and assigns of Owner
and Kennel.
- Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Contract, or the breach thereof, or as the result of any claim or
controversy involving the alleged negligence by any party to this
Contract, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgement upon
the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any Court
having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall, as part of this
award, determine an award to the prevailing party of the costs of
such arbitration and reasonable attorney's fees of the prevailing
party.
