This Agreement is between the Pet Owner (referred to as “Client”) and Keep Your Pet, LLC (referred to as “Consultant”).  For good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

Service - Self Study Course:  The Keep Your Pet, LLC  course is designed to be a self-study, self-paced course to educate you regarding animal behavior and help with decreasing certain problem behaviors.  Client agrees to pay Consultant a nonrefundable fee in the amount of $300 prior to receiving access to the course materials. Client will have access to the materials for 90 calendar days.  This course will be provided by a third-party platform.  If the third-party platform becomes unavailable, upon request, Consultant will provide the information via email as an alternative.  

Consultant has made every reasonable effort to help Client achieve training and behavior modification goals through the design of the coursework but makes no guarantee of Pet’s performance or behavior.  Client may decide to continue on with additional behavior assistant programs offered in which the terms of this contract also apply.  Client understands that he/she and members of the household must follow Consultant’s instructions without modification.

Authorization of payment:  By signing, you authorize the Consultant to charge your credit card a one-time, full payment to participate in the program.  Any payments returned by Client’s bank will result in a $50 service charge, in addition to the balance due through a guaranteed payment instrument.  By signing you agree that, if for any reason, you choose to remove or cancel yourself out of the program you are obligated to pay or continue paying any outstanding balance(s).  To further clarify, no refunds will be issued and all scheduled payments must be paid on a timely basis whether you complete the program or not.  By signing, you agree with these terms and agree not to initiate a charge-back procedure on any credit cards on account for any reason.  Should a dispute over payment arise, you agree that resolution shall first be attempted between yourself and the Consultant.

Termination for unprofessionalism:  By signing, you agree that the Consultant may terminate this agreement, and limit, suspend, or remove any participant from continuing in the program at any time without a refund if the participant ceases to follow the program guidelines, becomes disruptive or difficult to work with, or if participant impairs the participation of program instructors or participants in the program.

Liability: Consultant is not responsible for Pet or any resulting injuries, losses, damages, costs, property damage, or expenses that Pet may cause.  Consultant is not responsible for any unintentional errors, omissions, or incorrect assertions.  If Pet causes property damage, or bites or injures any dog, animal, or person (including but not limited to Consultant and Consultant’s agents) then Client agrees to pay all resulting losses and damages suffered or incurred, and to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and Consultant’s agents from any resulting claims, demands, lawsuits, losses, costs or expenses, including attorney fees. 

At Consultant’s sole election, Consultant’s duties hereunder shall terminate if (a) in Consultant’s sole judgment Pet is dangerous or vicious to Consultant or any other person or animal, or interferes with the training of other pets, or (b) Client breaches any term or condition of this Agreement.  Upon termination in accordance with the foregoing, Consultant’s duties shall terminate but all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

This agreement is binding upon Client, Client’s heirs, fiduciaries, successors, agents, representatives, and assigns.  Client acknowledges that Consultant has not represented, promised, guaranteed, or warranted that Pet will never bite, that Pet will not be dangerous or vicious in the future, that Pet will not exhibit other behavioral problems, or that the results of the training will last for any particular amount of time.  This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both Client and Consultant.  This Agreement shall be governed by Maine law.  In the event of a dispute regarding services or damages, the maximum recovery will be a refund of fees paid.

Confidentiality:  By signing below you agree (1) not to infringe on the Consultant’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights, (2) that any information shared by the Consultant is confidential and proprietary and belongs solely and exclusive to the Consultant, (3) you agree not to disclose such information to any other person.  By signing below, you further agree that (4) all materials and information provided to you by the Consultant are confidential and proprietary intellectual property, belong solely and exclusively to the Consultant and may only be used by you as authorized by the Consultant and (5) the reproduction, distribution, and sale of these materials by anyone but the Consultant is strictly prohibited.  Further, by signing below you agree that if you violate or display any likelihood of violating any of you agreements contained in this paragraph the Consultant will be entitled to injunctive relief to prohibit any such violations to protect against the harm of such violations.

Financial responsibility:  We have made every effort to accurately represent the program and its potential benefits.  Results can and do vary; therefore the Consultant makes no guarantees.  The testimonials and examples used are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results.  Each individual’s success depends on many factors, including but not limited to, his or her background, dedication, desire, motivation, and Pet’s background and motivation.  By signing below you also acknowledge that payment of your program fees will not place a significant financial burden on you or your family.
