The Customer shall not use the Program, in whole or in part, as the basis for offering dog training services to the public, working with clients’ dogs, charging money or accepting any form of compensation for dog training, or advertising or promoting themselves as a Professional Dog Trainer.

  9. The Customer is accepting of the risks involved by participating in the Program.
