Luna Cat Collective Waiver and Release

I am over 18 years of age, at the time of the execution of this Waiver & Release and agree to the terms and conditions set forth below.

LUNA CAT COLLECTIVE provides cat-related activities, including playing with certain cats or kittens, to customers at its establishment in Ellicott City, MD (“Premises”).

I understand the inherent risks involved in playing with cats or kittens, including the risk of personal injury, allergic reaction, or, in rare cases, death. I understand that there may be damage to my property while participating in such activities or having my property at the site of such activities. I acknowledge that cats moving about the Premises increases the risk of harm from falling, tripping, or damage to my property caused by animals. Participation at the Premises potentially exposes me to illness from infectious diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19.

Luna Cat Collective staff will be on the Premises during business hours to monitor the activity of participants, offer guidance, and be available to assist with my experience. However, I acknowledge that playing with cats or kittens may not always be supervised, and Luna Cat Collective staff may not always be with me while I am in contact with cats or kittens.

I acknowledge participation in activities at Luna Cat Collective may include other participants not controlled or affiliated with Luna Cat Collective. I understand that customers of Luna Cat Collective may not have the right to file a claim against Luna Cat Collective’s insurance policy.

I have no known physical or emotional issue(s), including, but not limited to, any allergies, phobias, fears, or anxieties which would adversely affect my ability to participate in activities or play with the cats and/or kittens in a safe and appropriate manner.

I assume all such risks described above even if arising from the negligence or fault of Luna Cat Collective, its staff, or any related entity, including but not limited to Small Miracles Cat & Dog Rescue. I execute this Waiver & Release with such knowledge and assume full and sole responsibility for the risk of damage, death, personal injury, or property loss arising from or in any way connected with my participation in the activities provided by Luna Cat Collective.

I hereby waive, release, and forever discharge Luna Cat Collective, Small Miracles Cat & Dog Rescue, their respective agents, owners, employees, and independent contractors, and their respective sureties, insurers, successors, assigns, and legal representatives (“Indemnified Parties”), from any liability, claim, cause of action, demand and damages for injury, death, or damages of any kind or nature whatsoever to myself or my property as a result of my engaging in any activities at Luna Cat Collective, including, but not limited to, playing with the cats or kittens, whether such injury, death, or property damage is caused by the intentional or negligent act or omission on the part of (i) any other customer at Luna Cat Collective, (ii) any employee, agent, owners, or independent contractor of Luna Cat Collective, Small Miracles Cat & Dog Rescue, or (iii) any other person at Luna Cat Collective. Furthermore, I agree to pay all attorneys’ fees and costs of the Indemnified Parties if I bring any action, claim, or demand against Indemnified Parties for any reason for which this Release applies.

I agree to bind my heirs, executors, assigns, and all other legal representatives by executing this Release.

This Waiver & Release is governed by the laws of Maryland as to all matters. All disputes shall be subject to litigation only within the courts of Maryland, and I hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the Maryland Courts for all purposes related to this Waiver & Release.

BY EXECUTING THIS RELEASE, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE, UNDERSTAND THE CONTENTS. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, BUT FOR THE EXECUTION OF THIS RELEASE AND AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS HEREOF, LUNA CAT COLLECTIVE WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE ME TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES AT LUNA CAT COLLECTIVE.

By signing this Waiver & Release, I agree not to engage in any activity that will injure or otherwise hurt the cats or kittens in any manner. I agree to abide by the rules and regulations that Luna Cat Collective may impose regarding cats or kittens and my attendance at the Premises. I agree to undertake all activities in a responsible manner. IF I DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES, LUNA CAT COLLECTIVE MAY TERMINATE MY PARTICIPATION IN SUCH ACTIVITIES AND MAY EXPEL ME FROM THE PREMISES. I WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY REFUNDS OF OUR FEES.
