- 4.2 pay the full annual sponsorship amount of $1040 in one single payment into Dogwatch’s bank account at the commencement of the sponsorship agreement between both parties.

5. The sponsorship commences from the date of the first (or the full) payment.
6. Dogwatch agrees to provide the sponsor with a tax certificate should they request one.

8. The sponsor understands that their contribution is non-refundable and non-transferable.
9. The sponsor agrees that if they miss a sponsorship payment and fail to make arrangements to reimburse for the amount owed, Dogwatch has the right to cease the sponsorship arrangement and to offer the allocated kennel or yard to another sponsor.
10. The sponsor understands that their sponsorship does not include any form of ownership of the kennel/yard, or any right to see their sponsored kennel or yard unless arranged with Dogwatch.
