Overnight Boarding


1. This Agreement
-This agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings between the parties. Your acceptance of this agreement is constituted by signing this agreement below, and subsequent submission of this application to us.

2. Payment
-Any changes in the cost of our service shall not require an amendment to this agreement. Paws of Fun shall notify any rate change, by an email sent to all recipients on our subscription list (to which you will have subscribed to using the email address you provided during your initial registration). As such, it is solely your responsibility to check this email for any notifications from us, and to provide us with any updates as to the email address to which we should deliver such notices.

-Payment for overnight boarding is to be made in two instalments. A non-refundable deposit is required in order to reserve dates for overnight boarding, and the remainder of the balance must be made when we take possession of your dog.

-Any deposit made to reserve dates for overnight boarding services is non-refundable, and no portion of the deposit will be applied as a credit to your account should you cancel your reservation for overnight boarding after the deposit is paid. Should you at anytime cancel your dog’s stay after it has started, the remainder of your payment will not be refunded but may be applied as a credit to your account.

-By leaving your dog in our care for overnight boarding services, you agree that it will be brought to our Play School each weekday that it is in our care. The cost of daycare is included in the price for overnight boarding up until the last night of your dog’s stay. You will however be charged for daycare depending on when you pickup your dog on their last day.

-If you are delayed for any reason and can not pickup your dog from Paws of Fun while it is in our care for overnight boarding, you agree that you will be charged for any and all additional boarding charges. Further, you agree that a late fee of $25/day will apply to all additional payments made for overnight boarding charges beyond the date and time that Paws of Fun was scheduled to care for your dog.

If we are unable to make contact with any of these people for instructions, or if we deem the problem to be a medical emergency, which shall be done to our sole discretion, we will transport your dog to a licensed veterinarian of our choosing for treatment. In the event that this occurs, we are not liable for any damage caused to your dog by transportation and/or treatment. Additionally, any costs of such treatment are solely your responsibility.

-We will not release your dog from overnight boarding to anyone besides you, except to any authorised co-owners or third parties who you specified on the enrolment form you submitted to us. If you wish for someone who you did not authorise to pick up your dog, you need to let us know in advance or we will not release your dog to them.
