- Day Care
- To confirm a booking for a new customer, 25% of the total booking cost as a non-refundable booking fee, must be received by us at the time of booking.
- All fees are payable prior to the commencement of services. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment, no service.

- The amount to reimburse the Service Provider for any additional fees for providing emergency care, as well as any expenses incurred for, without limitation, unexpected visits, transportation, housing, food or supplies on proof of a valid receipt.

- the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment.

- Cancellations
- Our cancellation terms can be found in your copy of the terms and conditions. For the avoidance of doubt the general rules are:
- Day Care
- For Day Care, 72 hours prior notice to the day the services were due to begin, is required for cancellation by the customer.
- Any booking cancelled less than 72 hours prior to the start of the booking commencement period will be payable in full.
- Cancellation notice must be given, unless in extreme circumstances, before the requested services commence.
- Please note that Customers will still be liable for the full Fees for the service as stated under 8.1 above.
- Your booking fee confirms your booking, but also protects your chosen dates being taken by other Customers. This means that sudden cancellations result in a loss of income for us and therefore the booking Fees are non-refundable.
- This includes a customer’s decision to cancel any specific holiday which therefore results in the reduced need for our Service does not result in any refund. Your travel/pet insurance could cover you for cancellation fees arising for our services. If you require an invoice to support a claim, we’d be happy to provide this for you.
- Without prejudice to clause 9.1, in the event of the Service Provider cancelling or otherwise not being able to provide the Services the Service Provider shall either:
- arrange alternative services or providers to a value and quality that would have been provided; or
- refund any monies paid under this Agreement for the Services; and
- in either case, provide 24 hours’ notice, or if 24 hours is not practical, for example due to a sudden emergency, notice will be provided as soon as it is reasonably possible.
