You hereby agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all claims, damages, costs, including reasonable attorney fees, and lawsuits that arise from you owning any animal or maintaining an animal in the Premises or anywhere in the community.

No pets are allowed during special events unless otherwise approved by the management.
