Cat Behavioural Coaching — Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability

I hereby acknowledge and agree:

1. The purpose of cat behaviour coaching is to improve the mental health and well-being of my cat(s) through education and behavioural modification training, including positive reinforcement, clicker training, and feline environmental enrichment. Fearless Felines does not diagnose diseases or make nutritional recommendations.
2. Fearless Felines and Beverly Bedard is not a licensed animal practitioner or veterinarian.
3. I may be asked to provide information about my cat's physical habits, medical history, moods, energy levels, and lifestyle. This information is held in confidence and will not be released without my prior consent, except as required by law.
4. If the Coach suspects the existence of disease or condition, I will be informed — but this is not a diagnosis. I am directed to promptly consult a licensed veterinarian about any suspected problems.
5. I will not alter or discontinue treatments prescribed by a licensed veterinarian without consulting the prescribing individual.
6. The Coach is relying on the truth, accuracy, and completeness of all information I provide. Any changes I make to my cat's care are entirely my responsibility.
7. Beverly Bedard is in no way liable for my cat's health, safety, or the health/safety of any person or animal in my household. I acknowledge the inherent risk of Covid-19 exposure and/or other contagions.
8. In consideration of my participation in Cat Behaviour Coaching Services, I accept all risks to my cat's health, including injury or death, and hereby release Beverly Bedard and Fearless Felines from any and all claims, costs, and damages arising from my participation, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
9. Coaching Programs: My program begins at the time of purchase. I am responsible for booking coaching calls within the program's time frame. Unused calls expire at program end. 24 hours' notice is required for cancellations; appointments cancelled within 24 hours are subject to a $50.00 fee. Failure to attend a scheduled call counts as a fulfilled session.
10. I understand that any sessions I undertake are of my own free will. Ultimate responsibility for my cat's behaviour is my own. My Coach reserves the right to determine which cases fall outside their scope of practice, in which event an appropriate referral will be recommended.

I have carefully read this agreement and agree to the terms outlined above. I understand this agreement to be a full and final release of all costs, claims, causes of action, and damages of any kind arising from or in connection with the Cat Behaviour Coaching Services.
