Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnification Agreement
In consideration of being considered for and participating in the programs of Warriors Choice Foundation, Inc. (“WCF”), a Florida nonprofit corporation, including its Master Resiliency Program and Service K-9 program, I agree as follows:
Assumption of Risk. I understand that participation in WCF’s programs, including activities involving service dogs and dog training, carries inherent risks, including physical injury, animal-related injury, property damage, and emotional distress. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown.
Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive, and discharge WCF and its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, trainers, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, and causes of action for any loss, injury, or damage arising out of or related to my participation, including those caused by the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.
No Guarantee of Placement. I understand that submitting this application does not guarantee placement of a service dog. Placement decisions are made at WCF’s sole discretion and depend on multiple factors, including dog availability and suitability, the match between dog and applicant, completion of all program requirements (including the Master Resiliency Program), a successful home assessment, and ongoing compliance with WCF’s policies.
Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim brought by me or a third party arising out of my participation or my acts or omissions, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Exclusions. This agreement does not release the Released Parties from liability for gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Governing Law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. I am at least 18 years of age and have read and understood this agreement.
