PetWana Member Arrangement Agreement and Risk Acknowledgment

1 The arrangement record and participating members

The arrangement record must identify its reference number and revision; listing type; each signing member and role; the pet or pets involved; the agreed activity; any start and end dates, times, and time zone; duration or scheduling method; applicable location information; selected conditions and additional agreed terms; each member's disclosed platform fee or membership coverage; and the version of this agreement. The signature record must associate each member's action and time with the same readable arrangement revision and document content.

Only a member who expressly signs becomes a party to this agreement. A person does not become bound merely by appearing in a contact list, household, attendee roster, or group conversation. Do not purport to sign for another adult, bind a pet's co-owner without authority, or waive a child's or other person's rights. If an organization is a party, the record must identify it and the signer's authority using supported features; a display name alone does not establish that authority.

The signed record and this agreement are read together with the applicable Community and Safety Rules. Additional member terms may clarify lawful details, but cannot override mandatory law, authorize prohibited conduct, change PetWana's fees or obligations, or impose an undisclosed release or arbitration clause. A material conflict must be resolved before signing or performance. An unresolved essential term is not supplied by an assumption that the other member agreed.

2 Formation separate signatures and changes

Each member must have an opportunity to review the complete arrangement revision, applicable disclosures, and this agreement before deliberately selecting the signing control. Account registration, acceptance of general account documents, a proposal, a counterproposal, or a payment alone is not a signature on this arrangement. Each member signs for their own participation and responsibilities, not on behalf of PetWana or all other attendees.

The member agreement is formed when all required participants have signed the same arrangement revision. Before that point, a participant may withdraw their signature and end the pending arrangement through the permitted process. After mutual signature, cancellation remains available as described below. Confirmation, messaging, and performance remain subject to the applicable disclosed prerequisites; signing is not proof that a charge was captured or that messaging is open.

Material changes to the pets, parties, roles, activity, schedule, costs, risk disclosures, care responsibilities, or ownership-transfer terms require express agreement by the affected parties. Preserve the earlier record and identify the amendment or replacement revision. Do not silently attach an earlier signature to changed terms. Members may coordinate ordinary logistics through permitted private channels, but a disputed chat message does not by itself establish that every participant accepted a material amendment.

3 Nature of the activity and ownership

Swap requires each side's temporary-care responsibilities and return arrangements to be identified independently. Lend and Borrow provide only the temporary care, custody, or companionship expressly agreed; legal ownership is not transferred. Need Sitter and Provide Sitting concern the identified care services and actual caretaker. Support must describe the specific assistance offered or requested, including any agreed costs, without implying guaranteed funding or charitable status.

Playdate and Pet Party concern the identified social activity, venue, participants, pets, and supervision responsibilities. A host or participant must not assume that attendance transfers another pet's custody or makes the host its caretaker. Any transfer of care must be expressly agreed. Each attendee's obligations must be established through that attendee's own applicable acceptance; a host cannot sign for an entire group.

Adopt and For Adoption concern a proposed permanent placement. Ownership transfers only when the lawful owner and adopter expressly agree to the identified transfer, all applicable legal requirements and agreed conditions are satisfied, and the agreed transfer event occurs. The transfer record must identify the animal, transferor and adopter, authority, effective date or event, any lawful consideration, known material disclosures, and any lawful return or trial-placement conditions. A platform fee, listing, initial proposal, or account signature alone does not transfer ownership. Use any additional adoption, rescue, registration, or veterinary documents required for the actual transaction.

A trial placement must expressly identify who retains legal ownership, its duration, care and expense responsibilities, and the return process. It is not automatically a permanent adoption when a messaging window closes. Calling consideration an adoption fee, donation, reimbursement, support payment, or barter does not remove applicable sales, licensing, animal-transfer, or consumer-protection requirements. No category permits unlawful breeding, trafficking, cruelty, or transfer of a stolen or prohibited animal.

4 Truthful disclosures and authority to participate

Each member represents that they are an adult with legal capacity and authority to undertake the responsibilities they accept. The member supplying a pet must be its lawful owner or have the owner's permission for the actual activity, including any transfer or veterinary authorization. Required co-owner, rescue, housing, venue, or organizational permission must be obtained rather than assumed.

Before agreement, disclose known material facts needed to evaluate the arrangement, including relevant health and medication needs, disease concerns, vaccination or legal restrictions, bite or aggression history, escape behavior, handling limitations, and compatibility concerns. A caretaker must disclose material limits on experience, supervision, premises, equipment, availability, or use of another caregiver. Correct a material error or changed circumstance promptly, even if it makes the arrangement less likely.

Disclosures must be accurate to the member's knowledge, and members must not deliberately avoid learning information necessary to fulfill their duties. No member guarantees that every illness or behavior is predictable. However, an inability to predict every risk does not excuse concealment, a misleading assurance, or failure to use reasonable care. Keep private medical, contact, and location information in the appropriate private arrangement channels.

5 Care instructions supervision and premises

The person who accepts custody must exercise reasonable care appropriate to the species, individual pet, disclosed needs, agreed activity, and circumstances. Provide humane food, water, shelter, sanitation, ventilation, supervision, exercise, secure containment, and necessary attention. Follow lawful owner instructions within your competence. Do not follow an instruction that would be abusive, unlawful, or unsafe; raise the issue and obtain appropriate assistance.

Before care begins, confirm feeding and medication instructions, equipment and supplies, relevant household animals or hazards, approved activities, transport, time the pet may be left alone, actual caregivers, and any special restrictions. Do not breed, sell, rehome, give away, or transfer temporary custody to an unapproved third party. Obtain owner approval for a substitute caregiver or material change, except for reasonable emergency action or lawful direction by authorities.

Do not administer medication, sedation, training methods, or procedures outside your lawful authority or ability. Obtain clarification or veterinary guidance when instructions are unclear. Keep homes, enclosures, vehicles, and meeting areas suitable and secure. Do not assume insurance coverage because care occurs at someone's home or a platform fee was paid. Each member should verify coverage and any required license or permit for their own activity.

6 Handoff emergency contacts and safe return

Before a handoff or activity starts, privately confirm the authorized recipient, actual location, start and pickup times, supplies, relevant care information, owner and backup contacts, veterinarian, and emergency plan. Retain these details somewhere accessible outside the app. If the arrangement leaves logistics to messaging, those details must still be settled before performance. Do not disclose a private address publicly merely to fill an unresolved field.

Meet and introduce animals cautiously in a setting suitable for the individual pets and personal safety. Use appropriate restraints, carriers, enclosures, and supervision. You may refuse a handoff if the actual person, pet, condition, or setting materially differs from what was agreed, or safety is uncertain. Communicate promptly and coordinate a safe alternative or cancellation; do not abandon an animal to resolve the problem.

For temporary care, the caretaker must return the pet to the lawful owner or authorized recipient at the agreed time and place, subject to a lawful direction or safety intervention by appropriate authorities. Extensions require agreement. If pickup fails or the owner cannot be reached, continue reasonable protective care and seek appropriate animal-control, veterinary, or legal assistance. Do not assume ownership, release the animal, or use it as security for a disputed amount. This agreement grants no contractual lien or right to withhold a pet.

A permanent transfer follows its express transfer record and any lawful return conditions. If an adopter later cannot provide care, follow those conditions and applicable law, contact the agreed person or appropriate authority, and arrange a humane transition. This agreement does not authorize abandonment or invent an automatic right to reverse a completed adoption.

7 Veterinary care emergencies and incidents

Before temporary care begins, the owner and caretaker must document the preferred veterinarian and backup, emergency contact order, permission to seek veterinary assessment or transport, any spending instructions or limit, and the agreed initial payment method. A spending limit is a planning instruction, not permission to neglect an animal or ignore a legal duty. If the owner cannot be reached and delay may endanger the pet, take reasonable steps to obtain professional assistance consistent with law and the circumstances, and continue attempts to notify the owner or authorized contact.

This agreement does not appoint a caretaker to make every possible medical decision or authorize elective procedures or euthanasia merely because a pet is in their custody. Any legally required consent, specific veterinary authorization, or emergency authority must be established under the circumstances. A veterinarian determines what treatment they may lawfully provide and may require their own consent and payment arrangements. PetWana does not provide veterinary services, advance funds, or guarantee a provider's payment.

For illness, injury, a bite, escape, loss, or other serious incident, protect people and animals, obtain appropriate help promptly, notify the owner or authorized contact, follow applicable reporting and public-health requirements, and give an accurate account. Preserve relevant records without unlawfully collecting or distributing private information. Report related platform misconduct after immediate safety needs are addressed. Do not delay necessary assistance while waiting for an app response or deciding ultimate responsibility for costs.

8 Member costs compensation and financial responsibility

PetWana's disclosed platform fee buys the platform service described in the Terms; it is distinct from a member's compensation, adoption consideration, supplies, transport, or veterinary charges. Membership coverage or a zero platform fee does not mean all care and expenses are free. Any member-to-member payment obligation must be expressly recorded with its purpose, amount or calculation method, currency, due time, payment method, and cancellation terms before it is incurred. Do not invent a charge after the fact or represent private compensation as a PetWana fee.

Unless the members expressly agree otherwise, the lawful owner remains responsible for the pet's ordinary food, supplies, and veterinary expenses during temporary care, and a caretaker is not required to extend unlimited credit. A member who voluntarily pays a reasonably necessary, documented expense on the owner's behalf may request reimbursement to the extent authorized by the agreement or applicable law. This initial allocation does not decide ultimate responsibility where another person's breach, negligence, unlawful conduct, or a statutory duty caused the expense. It does not bind a veterinarian, insurer, landlord, or other third party.

For adoption, identify the effective transfer and allocation of pre-transfer and post-transfer expenses; unresolved consideration or expense terms must be settled before transfer. A participant's unilateral estimate is not a final determination of damages. Do not collect punitive fees, impose automatic forfeitures not agreed and lawful, or withhold a pet to collect a debt. Platform refunds and subscription matters remain governed by PetWana's Terms and payment disclosures, not by a private member amendment.

9 Scheduling messaging and cancellation

Complete the required signatures and satisfy each participant's applicable payment or membership requirements before treating the platform arrangement as confirmed for messaging. Payment status must come from the authorized system, not a screenshot or another member's claim. The displayed schedule governs access. For scheduled arrangements, the ordinary messaging window begins 72 hours before the start and continues until 72 hours after the end, subject to the maximum 36 consecutive days and any applicable safety restriction. Open schedules do not create unlimited messaging access.

The messaging window is a communication rule, not permission to extend custody, a declaration that an adoption is complete, or a determination that all obligations have been performed. Moving a record to Arrangement Records does not waive a claim, cancel a payment obligation, or authorize destruction of entitled records. Keep necessary contacts and instructions available outside the app before care starts.

Before all required members sign, a participant may withdraw their signature and end the pending arrangement. After mutual signature, a participant may cancel for a safety concern, pet welfare, emergency, changed circumstances, or inability to perform. Give prompt notice, minimize reasonably avoidable harm, and coordinate any necessary return or substitute care with permission. Cancellation is not permission to leave a pet without care. A general ability to cancel does not excuse an existing breach or eliminate lawful member-to-member claims; no penalty or damages are automatically imposed by this agreement merely because someone raises a good-faith safety concern.

PetWana platform fees, refunds, duplicate charges, membership allowances, and subscriptions follow the applicable Terms and fee disclosure. Members cannot promise a refund on PetWana's behalf. An app restriction, block, cancellation, or account deletion does not eliminate safe-care and return obligations or prevent contacting appropriate authorities.

10 Risk acknowledgment and rights preserved

PET-RELATED CARE, TRANSPORT, ADOPTION, AND IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS. Animals can behave unpredictably, including when they have previously appeared calm. Risks include bites, scratches, falls, allergic reactions, illness or disease transmission, emotional distress, escape, loss or theft, injury or death of a person or animal, property damage, transport incidents, inaccurate disclosures, and unexpected care or veterinary costs. Introductions involving unfamiliar animals, children, vulnerable people, or unsuitable environments can increase risk. Precautions reduce some risks but do not eliminate them.

By separately acknowledging this section and signing the identified arrangement, you confirm that you understand these described risks and choose whether to participate in light of the disclosed facts and your own abilities. You agree to take reasonable precautions and stop or seek help when participation is unsafe. You may ask questions or decline before signing. Do not certify that a risk is acceptable when a material disclosure or care issue remains unresolved.

THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT DOES NOT RELEASE PETWANA OR ANY MEMBER FROM LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE, RECKLESSNESS, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, FRAUD, CONCEALED MATERIAL FACTS, OR VIOLATIONS OF LAW. It does not waive a claim for bodily injury, death, animal injury, property damage, a statutory animal-owner or keeper duty, or a right that cannot lawfully be waived. It does not make you automatically liable for every loss simply because you participated, or relieve another person of reasonable-care obligations. Responsibility remains determined by the facts, applicable law, and lawful terms of the actual agreement.

The liability provisions governing PetWana's own services remain in its separately accepted Terms, including their exceptions. The monetary cap applicable to PetWana in those Terms is not imported as a cap on claims between members. This member agreement creates no blanket indemnity, duty to defend another person, insurance coverage, or reimbursement guarantee. Nonsigning people, including children, co-owners, guests, and service providers, retain their own rights.

11 Records privacy and communications

Each party may retain the arrangement, disclosed care instructions, lawful amendment and cancellation records, relevant communications, receipts, and incident documentation needed for their participation or a lawful claim. Obtain copies through the available platform controls or support@petwana.com. Preserve the content and revision actually signed; do not alter evidence, falsely attribute a signature, or publish another member's private records as retaliation.

Use information received for the arrangement, safety, lawful reporting, and legitimate recordkeeping. Do not use it to stalk, harass, spam, market unrelated services, or disclose unnecessary private information. A signed arrangement may identify a legal name to its other parties; it is not a publicly posted identity document. PetWana's processing, access, retention, deletion, and provider disclosures are described in the Privacy Notice. Signing this agreement does not supply missing consent to marketing, biometric collection, or a materially different AI use.

Electronic signatures and copies are subject to the Electronic Communications and Signatures Agreement and the process actually presented. A version number or hash without retained readable content is not the complete member agreement. Contact support promptly about an inaccessible copy or suspected unauthorized signature; reporting does not by itself decide the dispute or erase the historical record.

12 Disputes applicable law and continuing duties

Where safe and appropriate, communicate factually about a disagreement and seek a practical resolution, retaining relevant records. You need not negotiate directly with a threatening person or delay veterinary assistance, safe return, an emergency order, a mandatory report, a charge dispute, or another time-sensitive legal step. PetWana may assist with platform records or reports but is not the members' arbitrator, attorney, insurer, or guarantor and does not decide their legal liability.

This agreement does not require arbitration, waive a jury trial or class proceedings, shorten a legal filing deadline, or impose an exclusive Wisconsin forum on members located elsewhere. A member may use a court or other forum authorized by applicable law, including an available small-claims process. Any later choice to mediate or arbitrate a particular dispute requires a separate informed agreement by the actual parties and does not bind PetWana without its separate consent. No prior account checkbox is treated as acceptance of a future arbitration clause.

Applicable law determines the members' obligations, legal rights, and any conflict-of-laws questions. Mandatory protections where a pet, person, or activity is located are not displaced merely because PetWana is based in Wisconsin. If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, it applies only to the lawful extent or is severed where permitted, without adding a release or obligation the parties did not accept. Cancellation or termination does not extinguish accrued lawful claims, necessary care and return duties, payment duties already incurred, or lawful preservation of records.

13 Member signing confirmation

Before signing, review the identified arrangement revision, pet and participant details, selected conditions, additional terms, platform-fee disclosure, and this agreement. Confirm that your own representations are truthful, you have authority to undertake your role, and you understand the responsibilities you accept. Identify unresolved material issues and obtain agreement before proceeding. Privately finalize emergency contacts and other necessary logistics before any handoff or activity.

The signing process must include a separate acknowledgment that you have read Section 10 and understand both its described risks and its preservation of legal rights. That acknowledgment is not a release. The final signing action must identify the arrangement reference and revision and associate your signature with the exact documents presented. Each required participant must complete their own action; no preselected acknowledgment or signature on behalf of another adult is sufficient.

Retain a copy after signing. Questions about platform access, copies, safety reporting, or a signature concern may be sent to PETWANA LLC at support@petwana.com. Contact the other participant through permitted channels for the arrangement itself and appropriate professionals or authorities for urgent safety or legal needs.
