Your Rights 

Summary of your legal rights. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the services provided by Us. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by You

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by Us subject to the limitations set out in this clause. If We fail to comply with these terms, We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care, but We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. 

We will not be liable for any loss or damage howsoever caused which is not caused by Us, our employees, agents or sub-contractors. 

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of Us, our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services including the right to receive services which are as described and supplied with reasonable skill and care.

You agree that You understand that exercising and handling dogs is a high risk activity and that dogs, by their nature, may be unpredictable and prone to cause accident or injury.

You understand that use of the Dog Field requires you to exercise care and caution. The Dog Field is a natural environment and presents hazards and risks. The Dog Field is not flat; it has natural undulations, and You agree to carefully observe your footing whilst manoeuvring around the Dog Field.

Our total liability to You for any loss or damage (save for any loss listed at Clause 6.3, which we do not seek to restrict) caused by any breach of these terms by Us shall be capped at twice the amount paid by You to Us under this contract. 

We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the services for domestic and private use. If You use the services for any commercial or business purposes we will have no liability to You for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

How we may use your personal information

All information provided to use will be collected, processed and held in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.

We will use the personal information You provide to us  to:

provide the services; and

process your payment for such services.

We will only give your personal information to third parties where the law either requires or allows Us to do so. 

Other important terms

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things or prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms and your client care letter shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law. Any disputes or claims concerning this contract and any matters arising from it shall be dealt with only by the courts of England and Wales.

It is our intention to provide an excellent service and we hope you will not have cause to complain about the service that you receive.  In the unfortunate event that you do feel frustrated or dissatisfied with any aspect of our service and you cannot resolve that matter with Us informally, please contact us by e-mail or post to explain the nature of your complaint. We will endeavour to respond to you within 14 days.
