Run Dog Run LLC — Participation Agreement, Release of Liability & Informed Consent
PARTIES
This Agreement is entered into between Run Dog Run LLC, operated by Jordan Allison, DPT ("Service Provider"), and the undersigned dog owner ("Client"). By signing below, Client agrees to all terms on behalf of themselves and their dog(s) named in this intake form.
1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Run Dog Run LLC provides structured canine running sessions including road, trail, and mixed-terrain runs, ranging from 30 to 120 minutes per session. Services may also include group run events, trail and wilderness handling courses, and future mobile training unit services. All services are provided by screened, vetted runners under the supervision of Jordan Allison, DPT.
2. ASSUMPTION OF INHERENT RISK
Client acknowledges that participation in canine running activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: physical injury to the dog (strains, sprains, lacerations, paw injuries, heat-related illness); dog-to-dog altercations; environmental hazards (uneven terrain, weather conditions, wildlife encounters, traffic); exertion-related health events; and unforeseen circumstances beyond the Service Provider's control. Client voluntarily and knowingly assumes all such risks on behalf of themselves and their dog.
3. CLIENT (OWNER) LIABILITY & REPRESENTATIONS
Client accepts full financial and legal responsibility for any injury, property damage, or incident caused by their dog to a third party, another animal, or any person during or in direct connection with Run Dog Run services. This includes but is not limited to bites, scratches, collisions, reactive behavior, or any aggression. Client represents and warrants that: (a) all behavioral and health information provided in this intake is truthful, complete, and not materially misleading; (b) their dog has no known history of unprovoked aggression that has not been disclosed; (c) their dog is current on all legally required vaccinations under Colorado law. Providing false or incomplete information voids this agreement and may result in termination of services without refund.
4. EXCEPTIONS — THIRD-PARTY NEGLIGENCE
Client's liability under Section 3 does not extend to incidents directly and solely caused by the provable negligence of a third party — including an off-leash dog approaching unprovoked, a reckless cyclist or pedestrian, or the demonstrably negligent conduct of another dog owner. In such circumstances, Run Dog Run will provide a written incident report within 24 hours and cooperate fully with any resulting legal proceedings or insurance claims.
5. RELEASE OF CLAIMS AGAINST SERVICE PROVIDER
To the maximum extent permitted under Colorado law, including C.R.S. § 13-21-111.5 (comparative fault), Client hereby releases, waives, and discharges Run Dog Run LLC, Jordan Allison, and any affiliated runners, contractors, or agents from any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, or causes of action arising out of or related to participation in services, whether caused by negligence of the Service Provider or otherwise. This release does not apply to: (a) gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct by the Service Provider; (b) incidents involving a dog whose undisclosed known aggression history was not reported by Client.
6. VETERINARY HEALTH AUTHORIZATION
Client confirms their dog is in suitable physical health for the intensity of exercise selected, is current on required Colorado vaccinations (rabies, distemper, and as recommended by their veterinarian), and has no undisclosed medical conditions that would contraindicate vigorous physical activity. In the event of an emergency during a session, Client authorizes Run Dog Run to transport the dog to the nearest veterinary facility and to authorize emergency treatment on Client's behalf. Client accepts full financial responsibility for all resulting veterinary costs. Run Dog Run is not a veterinary or medical service.
7. GPS TRACKING & DATA USE
Client consents to GPS tracking of all run sessions for safety monitoring, post-run reporting, and service improvement purposes. Session data (route, pace, distance, elevation) will be shared with the Client following each session. Anonymized aggregate data may be used internally. Client data will not be sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising without explicit written consent. Client may request data deletion at any time.
8. PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO & SOCIAL MEDIA
Run Dog Run may photograph or video the dog during sessions for use on social media, the company website, and marketing materials. No personally identifying owner information (name, address, phone number) will be published without explicit written consent. Client may opt out of all photography and media by unchecking the consent box below. Opt-out will be noted on Client's permanent file.
9. CANCELLATION, RESCHEDULING & NO-SHOW POLICY
Cancellations or reschedule requests made more than 12 hours before a scheduled session: no charge. Cancellations made less than 12 hours before a session: 50% of the session fee. Same-day no-show (runner arrives, dog not available): full session fee charged. Run Dog Run reserves the right to cancel or reschedule sessions due to unsafe weather, poor air quality (AQI), extreme temperatures, trail closures, or other safety-related conditions at no cost to the Client. Prepaid bundles and membership sessions cancelled by Run Dog Run due to safety conditions will be rescheduled, not forfeited.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Run Dog Run LLC, Jordan Allison, and any affiliated runners from and against any claims, actions, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) Client's breach of any representation in this Agreement; (b) injury, damage, or loss caused by Client's dog during services; or (c) Client's provision of false or incomplete intake information.
11. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall first be subject to good-faith mediation. If mediation fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Larimer County, Colorado, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees.
12. SEVERABILITY & ENTIRE AGREEMENT
If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. This Agreement, together with the completed intake form, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior communications. This Agreement may be updated by Run Dog Run with 14 days' written notice to the Client email on file.
