Fees for the Services provided up to that point remain payable, and the Facility is not liable for the consequences of ending the Services in these circumstances.

The Owner authorises the Facility to consent on the Owner's behalf to the examination, diagnosis and treatment the attending veterinarian considers necessary, up to a total of . Above that amount the Facility shall obtain the Owner's approval before treatment proceeds, unless the veterinarian advises that a delay would put the Pet's life at risk or leave it in pain, in which case the Facility may approve the treatment needed to stabilise the Pet.

All veterinary fees, transport costs and related expenses are the Owner's responsibility, whether or not the Facility approved them and whether or not the Owner was reached first. Where the Facility pays any such amount, the Owner shall reimburse the Facility within days of being shown the receipt.

If the Owner has neither collected the Pet nor made contact within days of that notice, the Facility may treat the Pet as abandoned and, having made reasonable efforts to reach the Owner and the Emergency Contact, may place the Pet with a licensed veterinary practice, a licensed animal shelter or rescue organisation, or the relevant local authority, in accordance with applicable law. Doing so does not affect the Owner's liability for all fees, costs and expenses accrued up to the date the Pet is placed elsewhere, and the Facility is not liable to the Owner for any consequence of a placement made in good faith under this clause.

This Agreement takes effect on the date of the last signature below and continues until the end of the Term. Clauses 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 survive its end. Nothing in this Agreement binds either party until both have signed and dated it.

Where the Owner boards the Pet with the Facility again, the parties may rely on this Agreement for the later stay by agreeing the new dates and fee in writing, in which case every other term continues to apply.

The parties may sign in counterparts and by electronic signature, each of which is an original and all of which together form one agreement. Each party confirms that they have read this Agreement, that the details entered in it are accurate, and that they have received a copy.
