Health & Liability
Waiver Agreement.

This Agreement is entered into between Stokeshire Designer Doodles, operated by Stokhaus Media LLC ("Seller"), and the Buyer in connection with the purchase, training, ownership, or visitation of any dog bred, raised, or trained by Stokeshire ("Puppy" or "Dog").

By completing the checkout process, the Buyer confirms they have read, understood, and accepted all terms herein. This Agreement is legally enforceable and cannot be modified by any verbal or written statement outside of the incorporated documents below.

Puppies are sold as-is and are covered exclusively under the Stokeshire 3-Year Health & Wellness Partnership Guarantee for hereditary defects that significantly impair quality of life.

This guarantee excludes common puppy ailments including Giardia, Coccidia, ear mites, worms, stress-induced issues, allergies, or acquired infections. It requires a veterinary wellness exam scheduled within 48 hours of pickup, applies only to the original Buyer and is non-transferable, and requires written documentation and formal diagnosis to pursue a refund or replacement.

All visitors, including the Buyer, voluntarily accept the inherent risks of entering private property and interacting with dogs or livestock. These risks include, but are not limited to: injury, illness, bites, allergies, tripping hazards, and property-related dangers.

The Buyer waives all claims against Stokeshire, its agents, and family members for any injury, loss, or damage sustained on-site or during off-site events, pickup, delivery, or travel related to the Dog.

Children must be supervised at all times. Outside pets may only enter the premises with prior approval.

The Buyer acknowledges the lifelong responsibilities and inherent risks of owning a dog, including but not limited to medical expenses, behavioral challenges, property damage, dog bites or aggression, and allergic or zoonotic exposure.

The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Stokeshire harmless for any legal or financial liability arising from the Dog's behavior after transfer of ownership.

All deposits and payments toward the purchase of a Stokeshire dog are non-refundable. No exceptions will be made for buyer remorse, allergy development, housing changes, travel conflicts, or dissatisfaction with breed traits, size, color, gender, or temperament.

At Stokeshire's sole discretion, the Buyer may defer their deposit to a future litter. Final payment must be completed on or before the scheduled pickup date. Failure to pay the remaining balance within 14 days of invoice voids the reservation and forfeits all paid funds.

Full terms are documented in the Reservation, Refund & Returns Policy.

Vaccination requirement: Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper (or up-to-date titers) are required at least 7 days prior to arrival. Proof of vaccination must be submitted in advance.

Risk assumption: While Stokeshire exercises reasonable care, we are not liable for kennel cough or viral/bacterial exposure, injury or escape during training or transport, or illness or death from natural causes or unforeseeable events.

Medical authorization: In the event of a veterinary emergency, Stokeshire may authorize necessary care on the Buyer's behalf. The Buyer is responsible for all related expenses.

While Stokeshire provides training support, we do not guarantee specific behavioral outcomes. The Buyer accepts that behavioral issues such as barking, chewing, crate resistance, or potty regression may occur after placement. These are normal aspects of puppy development and are not grounds for refund, replacement, or any claim against Stokeshire.

The Buyer grants Stokeshire the right to use photographs, videos, and the likeness of the Dog for marketing, educational, and promotional purposes without compensation or limitation. This right extends to all media formats and does not expire upon transfer of ownership.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin. All disputes will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in Taylor County, WI.

Class action waivers apply. All claims must be brought individually. The prevailing party in any dispute is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and associated costs.

By completing checkout, the Buyer confirms that they have read, understood, and agree to all terms herein; that this Agreement cannot be changed via email, phone, or text; and that they accept full responsibility for the health, behavior, and well-being of their Dog after transfer.

This document represents the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller. No oral statements or communications outside of this Agreement and its incorporated policies are enforceable.
