I (we) acknowledge that the Columbia Agility Team ("the club") has the right to deny for cause, permission for any person or dog to participate in or continue participating in an agility training or practice exercise or agility event. Cause may include, but is not limited to, aggression by a dog, failure of a dog's owner to restrain his or her dog for the safety of the dog or the safety of other persons or dogs, or failure to follow all barn safety. If the club exercises its right to ban a dog or person from further class or practice participation, the club is not obligated to refund any monies paid by the dog's owner or handler. I (we) also understand that the club prohibits wolf hybrids from participating in club classes, practices, or other club events, and by signing this agreement I (we) warrant that any dog I (we) train in the club’s practice facilities is not a wolf hybrid.

I (we) agree to hold the Columbia Agility Team, its members, guests or family members of individual club members, and the owner or lessor of the premises, harmless from any claim for loss or injury which may be alleged to have been caused directly or indirectly to any person or thing by the act of any dog I (we) are training in the club’s practice facilities or while in a class or while participating at events (fun run, demonstration) hosted by the club at other locations. I (we) personally assume all responsibility and liability for any such claim resulting from or alleged to have resulted from any act of any dog that I (we) train in the club’s practice facilities or who participate at events (fun run, demonstration) hosted by the club at other locations.

I (we) further agree to hold the Columbia Agility Team, its members, guest or family members of individual members, and the owner or lessor of the premises, harmless from any claim for loss of any dog I (we) train by disappearance, theft, death or otherwise, and from any claim for damage or injury to the dog, whether such loss, disappearance, theft, death or injury be caused or be alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the club, its members, guests or family members of individual club members, or the owner or lessor of the premises, or by the negligence of any other person, or any other cause or causes.

I (we) also assume the risk in participating in dog training or practice classes or events which will be held on the grounds of the club’s facilities or at events or the owner or lessor of the premises and will be attended by unfamiliar dogs, using training equipment that I (we) may be unfamiliar with. I (we) release the Columbia Agility Team, its members, guests or family members of individual club members, and the owner or lessor of the premises from and agree to indemnify and hold them harmless from any and all loss and expense (including legal fees and costs) including damage to the loss of any property of mine (ours); damage for personal injury to me or my guests; or my death or the death of a guest of mine, arising out of or in consequence of my (our) participation in the clubs' agility training classes, practices, or arising out of my (our) setting up or taking down or moving of equipment. I (we) agree to release the Columbia Agility Team, its members, guests or family members and the owner or lessor of the premises from such liability whether or not any harm is caused or is alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the Columbia Agility Team, its members, guests or family members of individual club members, or the owner or lessor of the premises or any of their employees or agents, or any other person(s).

I (we) agree to abide by posted Barn Safety Rules and any additional rules posted at the barn in use. I (we) also agree to understand and fully comply with the CAT Barn Rental Policy (available on the club website at www.columbiaagility.org).
