K9-Kind Limited Terms of Business For Private Training Sessions

1.      Clients agree to make payment of the entire session fee, either in advance via bank transfer or in cash on the day at the training session.

2.      Our cancellation fee structure is as follows:

·        A full refund will be provided if cancellation is received at least 8 days prior to scheduled service

·        20% cancellation fee will apply if cancellation is received within 2-7 days of scheduled services.

·        100% cancellation fee will apply if cancellation is received within 48 hours of a scheduled service.

·        In circumstances where severe weather conditions affect driver safety and or the ability to train outdoors, K9-Kind Limited will reschedule appointments to a mutually convenient time and date and no cancellation charge will be applied.

3.      Services that are sold as packages are pre-paid to enable us to discount these packages.  Packages do not allow for refunds or cancellations.  All packages must be used within 6 months.

4.      By entering into this agreement, the client authorises this agreement to be valid approval for services so as to permit K9-Kind Ltd to accept all future, in-person, telephone, online, mail or email bookings without the need for additional agreements or authorisations.

5.      Clients agree to ensure that their dogs are fully vaccinated and that flea and worming treatments are given regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's or vet's guidelines.  If the client chooses a flea collar instead of chemical treatments, then these should be properly fitted to ensure their effectiveness.  If the client chooses not to vaccinate then, recent Titre Test results should be provided confirming the attending dog’s resistance to disease.

8.      K9-Kind Limited seek to do no harm and will not condone or endorse any treatment by a dog’s owner that is physically or mentally cruel.  K9-Kind Limited will opt out of a consulting agreement rather than attempt to manage an unethical course of action.
