Bumble’s Backyard

Membership Agreement 

between 

You (on behalf of you Pup)

and

Good Dogs, Good People, LLC (dba Bumble’s Backyard)

 

We are so excited for you to join our pack! Before we can start having fun, we need to agree to a few things to make sure everyone’s happy and we start things off on the right foot. 

 

1. Initial Membership. If you selected an annual membership you are agreeing to an annual membership term of one year (12 months) at a price indicated with the product you selected. If you selected a month pass or day pass you may cancel at any time without penalty.  

   1. Pups. This membership covers the number of pups associated with the membership tier you selected. Memberships cannot be transferred – each pup is special and unique. Special exceptions may be made for foster pups or in other extenuating circumstances, if you have a question please ask! 

   2. Annual Membership Term (applicable only to annual memberships). During this initial Term of twelve months, you understand that you cannot cancel your membership. Canceling your membership prior to the completion of the initial Term will result in either a final invoice calculated as the monthly rate multiplied by the number of months remaining in your initial Term or cancellation at the end of your current Term, whichever you prefer. Please keep hanging out with us until the end of your membership, we love you and your pup and will miss you!

   3. Monthly Payments. To make things easier on you and us, you can choose to be billed monthly for $[monthly rate] (1/12 the annual rate). Good news – we don’t believe in silly penalties, so there’s no additional cost for this option. 

   4. Additional Pups. If your pack grows, we are here for it. Additional pups can be added to any membership at the then-current rate for additional pups at any time. We will prorate this amount for the number of months left on your initial term.

   5. Humans are Free. We love humans too! There is no charge for humans to enter Bumble’s Backyard, with or without a pup. Just sign the liability waiver and you are good to go!

   6. The Nassau Clause. We love all animals, but Bumble’s Backyard is a place specifically designed for good dogs and good people. So, while all furry and non-furry animals are loved, only pups and people are allowed in the Backyard. 

   7. Early Termination (applicable only to annual memberships). We would never charge an early termination fee! Canceling your membership prior to the completion of the initial term will simply result in either a final invoice calculated as the monthly rate multiplied by the number of months remaining in your initial term or cancellation at the end of your initial term. If circumstances outside of your control cause you cancellation please reach out to management for assistance.

2. Ongoing Membership. We want you to stick around longer! After the initial Term, and without a formal agreement to renew for an additional Term, you agree to be billed on a monthly basis for ongoing monthly membership until you opt out. In exchange, we agree to keep your membership going at your initial rate for as long as you’re a member of Bumble’s Backyard. 

   1. Renewing for Another Full Term. If you loved hanging out with us for your first year and want to spend a whole new year with us, you will fill out a renewal form for another Term billed monthly for $[monthly rate] (1/12 your original annual rate) or billed in one payment for the full year. This new term of twelve months is just like your initial Term. You understand that you cannot cancel your membership. Canceling your membership prior to the completion of the initial term will result in either a final invoice calculated as the monthly rate multiplied by the number of months remaining in your initial term or cancellation at the end of your current term, whichever you prefer. 

      1. Renewal Perks! Upon officially renewing for another Term, we will reach out to you with details on a fun perk to thank you and your pup for deciding to spend another year with us.

   2. Oops, I’m back! If you regret leaving and decide to come back, there will be absolutely no hard feelings, there will actually be a celebration. There might, however, also be a change in your membership rate – we can only guarantee your current rate as long as you stick around with us. Don’t disappoint your dog by canceling and losing that great deal!

3. Payments. We accept (almost) all forms of payment – just ask and we’ll see what we can do. If you are using monthly payments, we do require you to sign up for autopay so we make sure your membership is not interrupted. 

   1. Late Payments. Every now and then, something goes wrong. We get it. If we have not received your payment, you will be required to make payment (including any back balances) before bringing your pup into the park. 

   2. Notifications. We will do our best to remind you to make a payment when we haven’t received your payment. If we forget, or you don’t receive our notes, though, that’s no excuse – you agree that it’s your responsibility to remember (we’re sure your pup will remind you). 

   3. Payment Method Changes. If you have any updates to your preferred payment method, let us know as soon as possible so your pup doesn’t miss a beat. 

   4. Too Late. If you fail to pay for your monthly membership for three months, you are absolutely welcome back but will have to re-join the pack at the rate applicable at that time.

4. Follow the Rules. By joining the pack, you agree (on behalf of you and your pup(s)) to abide by all rules, policies, and requirements of Bumble’s Backyard. These may be updated from time to time and will be available to you at all times if you have questions. The basic rules are as follows: 

   1. No smoking or vaping

   2. No Food inside the park 

   3. No Being a jerk to dogs or other humans 

   4. No dog toys (card games are ok, dogs do tend to play poker from time to time)

   5. No leashing within the park area (use the secure vestibule and ask the Barktenders for help dragging your dog out of the park if they having too much fun)

5. ​Cancellation. ​

   1. By You. If you ever do decide to leave us, we will be sad, but we understand. Just let us know, and we will make your cancellation effective at the end of your agreed upon terms (whether that be at the end of an annual membership or the end of the current month). Because Bumble’s Backyard membership entitles you to unlimited access, we can’t offer partial-months or refunds, but you will continue to have access until the end of that billing cycle – please come say goodbye one last time. 

   2. By Us. We hope it never comes to this, but Good Dogs, Good People, LLC reserves the right to cancel the membership of one or more of your pups if, in its sole discretion, you and/or your pup(s) fail to abide by the rules and policies of Bumble’s Backyard.

As a condition of your pup’s membership, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Good Dogs, Good People, LLC (dba Bumble’s Backyard), its agents, officers, employees, and assigns from and against all loss, cost, damages, expense and liability resulting from my use of the dog park.
