Training COVID-19 Addendum

I understand that AWS has social distancing and other measures in place, as deemed necessary by the State of Maine Centers for Disease Control. I agree that I will abide by all guidelines and mandates issued by the State of Maine.

The governor of the State of Maine has issued an Executive Order regarding out of state travel and quarantine. I certify that if I am from, out-of-state or has been out-of-state, I have met the quarantine requirements before coming to AWS.

I understand there is a $25 service fee for registration cancellation, if I cancel more than 7 days from the start of the program. If I have to cancel less than one week prior to the first day of the program, all fees are non-refundable and will result in a donation of the total fee to AWS. I understand that if I need to cancel my registration due to illness related to COVID-19 symptoms, AWS will waive the service fee and refund you the full amount owed. I understand that if AWS has to cancel a program (which may occur if there is low enrollment), I will be due a full refund.

I understand that enrollment in this program is not guaranteed until tuition is paid in full.

I understand attendance of a dog obedience training class is not without risk to myself, members of my family or guests who may attend, or my dog because some of the dogs to which I will be exposed may be difficult to control and may be the cause of injury even when handled with the greatest amount of care. I hereby waive and release the hereinafter referred to as the “Training Organization,” its employees, officers, members and agents from any and all liability of any nature, for injury or damage which I or my dog may suffer, including specifically, but without limitation, any injury or damage resulting from the action of any dog, and I expressly assume the risk of such damage or injury while attending any training sessions, or any other function of the Training Organization, or while on the training grounds or the surrounding area thereto. In consideration of and as inducement to the acceptance of my application for training membership by this Training Organization, I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless this Training Organization, its employees, officers, members and agents from any and all claims, or claims by any member of any family or any other person accompanying me to any training session or function to the Training Organization, or while on the grounds or the surrounding area thereto as a result by any dog, including my own. I agree to permit the free use of my name and picture in any broadcast, telecast, or other account of the event
