5. 5. Any dog may be barred from CABTC Activities if, in the sole and exclusive opinion of any of CABTC’s respective Directors of Training or class instructors, such dog is demonstrating signs and/or symptoms of illness, is physically incapacitated, or is otherwise unsuited for such activities. I further agree that any dog may be barred from entering CABTC’s premises or any CABTC Activities if, in the sole and exclusive opinion of any of CABTC’s respective Directors of Training or class instructors, the dog exhibits aggressive and/or vicious behavior toward any person, including, but not limited to, the dog’s owner, handler or trainer, or any other animal.

8. 8. This waiver and release is continuous and my continued: (1) presence at; (2) affiliation with, use and enjoyment of the CABTC facilities; and/or (3) attending and/or participating in CABTC Activities is conditioned upon my ongoing agreement to this waiver. The Releasing Parties hereby authorize, approve, and consent to any CABTC member, videographer and/or
   photographer to use, reproduce, and/or publish photographs and/or video that may pertain to me and/or my dog(s), including, but not limited to, image, likeness and/or voice without compensation. I understand that this material may be used in various publications, recruitment materials, the CABTC website, CABTC’s social
   media pages, and/or for other related CABTC endeavors. This authorization is continuous and may only be withdrawn by my specific rescission of this authorization presented in writing to the CABTC President.

Any requests to change a class start date must be made 1 week prior to the start date of the registered class. Further, if I withdraw less than 48 hours prior to the start of a training class, I understand, acknowledge, and agree that I will forfeit the cost of the class and not be entitled to a refund. Once the class begins, no refunds
will be given for all or a portion of the class fee.
