A Service Dog, no matter how well trained, is still an animal and therefore Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, Inc. cannot guarantee that the Service Dog will behave as intended. We will do our best to provide a Service Dog that complies with and is consistent with the contract but no person can predict how an animal will respond at any given time under any particular circumstances and Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, Inc. makes no representations to the contrary.

A Service Dog which will be trained to respond to epileptic seizures. We will train the Service Dog to respond in the situation when the intended beneficiary of the Service Dog falls and suffers a seizure, the Service Dog will be trained to bite a cell phone provided by Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, Inc. which cell phone may have a GPS attachment and preprogrammed message sending a message to the recipient designated to receive the emergency assistance call. (patent pending)

You must acknowledge that the Service Dog must be handled in a specific way so as to maintain its training and be able to perform its task as expected. Failure to adhere to the training program could result in the Service Dog not being responsive to a medical emergency.

VETERININARY CARE: Upon delivery of the Service Dog to you, Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, Inc. will provide you with a letter or other documents from a licensed Veterinarian dated shortly before delivery of the Service Dog stating the Service Dog is in good health. Upon delivery to you, you shall assume the responsibility and cost of having the Service Dog scheduled for a veterinary check up for the Service Dog within the first three days after delivery of the Service Dog to verify the Service Dog is being delivered in good health. You further agree that they will have an annual check up for the Service Dog by a veterinarian and keep current with all applicable shots and any necessary treatment. Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, Inc. warrants that a healthy Service Dog will be delivered to you based on representations made by veterinary professionals.

local laws in the animal’s home State.

After a Service Dog has been delivered to you, Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, Inc. does not and cannot warranty or guarantee that a particular Service Dog will bond with you. The only remedy available to you will be to consult with us about retraining or replacement of the Service Dog.

SERVICE DOGS ARE NOT PETS: You must acknowledge that you have been advised that a Service Dog is not a pet. The Service Dog is a working animal with specific responsibilities and expectations. If you change the relationship with the Service Dog to one where the Service Dog is a family pet and no longer is trained and maintained as a Service Dog, then you acknowledge that the Service Dog may lose its efficacy as a reliable Service Dog and no longer be able to perform its expected role.

Americans with Disabilities Act

Service animals are animals that are individually trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities such as guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling wheelchairs, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, or performing other special tasks. Service animals are working animals, not pets.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses and organizations that serve the public must allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals into all areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go. This federal law applies to all businesses open to the public, including restaurants, hotels, taxis and shuttles, grocery and department stores, hospitals and medical offices, theaters, health clubs, parks, and zoos.

Businesses may ask if an animal is a service animal or ask what tasks the animal has been trained to perform, but cannot require special ID cards for the animal or ask about the person's disability.
People with disabilities who use service animals cannot be charged extra fees, isolated from other patrons, or treated less favorably than other patrons. However, if a business such as a hotel normally charges guests for damage that they cause, a customer with a disability may be charged for damage caused by his or her service animal.
A person with a disability cannot be asked to remove his service animal from the premises unless: (1) the animal is out of control and the animal's owner does not take effective action to control it (for example, a dog that barks repeatedly during a movie) or (2) the animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others.
In these cases, the business should give the person with the disability the option to obtain goods and services without having the animal on the premises.
Businesses that sell or prepare food must allow service animals in public areas even if state or local health codes prohibit animals on the premises.
A business is not required to provide care or food for a service animal or provide a special location for it to relieve itself.
Allergies and fear of animals are generally not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people with service animals.
Violators of the ADA can be required to pay money damages and penalties.

If you have additional questions concerning the ADA and service animals, please call the Department's ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) or visit the ADA Business Connection at www.ada.gov.
