Pursuant to this agreement, the Owner/Agent authorizes Rogue Equine Hospital (REH) to exercise control and custody of the horse, and requests REH to provide basic CEM quarantine services, arrange for all state-required CEM cultures, procedures and washings to be performed by a state-approved veterinarian, present the horse for inspection to required state agents, and represent the owner’s interest with the applicable state and federal agencies.
REH will provide standard CEM quarantine for the horse described herein in accordance with state and federal regulations, including all state veterinarian costs and expenses and all private veterinarian costs and expenses associated with standard CEM protocol. A qualified veterinarian routinely inspects all horses upon arrival. This initial health inspection will initiate the CEM quarantine protocol. Any adverse findings of the horse’s condition will be immediately disclosed to the owner.
Mares will be quarantined for approximately 15-20 days, depending on weekends and holidays, and laboratory turnaround time for sample processing.
Owner agrees to pay a Contract Price of $6650.00 for the quarantine period of one stallion. This fee is due and payable in full before departure.
A non-refundable deposit of $3325.00 is due and payable upon acceptance of this signed agreement.
CEM Fees include: daily board, hay, water, individual turnout, unsealing of the trailer and initial inspection made by a State or Federal veterinarian upon arrival, as well as all costs associated with USDA mandated CEM quarantine protocols.
The Contract Price is for standard CEM quarantine protocol only. Any and all extraneous veterinary work, including but not limited to, an extended quarantine period, additional cultures, sedation (if the attending veterinarian deems it necessary for staff or patient safety) or emergency services are not included in the contract price and will be itemized and billed to the Owner. Any Additional Services will be itemized and charged, and will be billed in addition to the above costs for quarantine.
In the event that a stallion tests positive for CEM, the Owner agrees to pay for the replacement of two test-mares. This requires young to middle-aged, well-handled, serviceably sound, grade-bred horse mares. The total expense could be up to but not exceed $5,000.00.
Signer agrees that any dispute regarding non-payment of non-refundable deposit or any other due fee will be resolved in Jackson County, Oregon and will be responsible for both party attorney fees and court cost.
The Owner hereby agrees to release and to hold harmless Rogue Equine Hospital, their agents, employees, officers, directors, owners, and representatives against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, actions, suits or causes of action arising out of or associated with any injury, loss, death or property damage sustained by Owner, its principals, owners, directors, agents, officers, employees, representatives or any third parties, including but not limited to veterinarians, farriers, equine professionals, guests or invitees on the premises at the direction or request of Owner.
The owner acknowledges and understands that it is the owner’s sole responsibility to insure the horse for injury or death, and the owner further acknowledges that REH is not responsible for insuring the horse in any capacity.
The Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless Rogue Equine Hospital against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, and expenses which Owner may incur or be required to pay should any claim be brought by a third party as a result of any act, intentional or negligent, or omission on part of the Owner in connection with the use and enjoyment of this facility under the terms of this agreement. Owner agrees to defend Rogue Equine Hospital in any action, suit or proceeding brought by any other party based upon or related to any activities involving the horse herein described while horse was in the custody and under the care of Rogue Equine Hospital, or involving a party who has sustained damage to property caused by horse while horse was in the custody and under the care of Rogue Equine Hospital, whether or not such injury or damage was sustained through no negligence of Rogue Equine Hospital, its employees, agents, owners, or directors. It is hereby agreed that Owner must be given notice of a claim relating to any action relating to horse and the terms of this agreement in a timely manner.
