CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

 

 

We do not offer refunds or cancellations for any of our product or services once they have begun, except at the sole discretion of the COMPANY or Lynne Optland. All agreements and purchases are binding. A 48-hour cancellation policy is in effect. Programs are deemed as having "begun" under this 48-hour window and any cancellations outside this window are non-refundable.

 
APPLICATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS​

 

These Terms & Conditions ( “T&Cs” )  apply to the K9 Pet Dog Training Programs ( “Program” ),  operated by Lynne Optland. By registering to be a participant in our Programs, you agree to the following T&Cs and that these prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions contained, or referred to, elsewhere or as implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

The agreement between us and you, the person or entity registering to be a participant in the Program (“you”) and which is subject to these T&Cs (“Agreement”), shall come into effect upon us emailing you to confirm our acceptance of your registration form for the Program and shall continue until terminated in accordance with these T&Cs.

If you are purchasing online, the order process will be as follows: add the Program to the cart and proceed to the checkout and make payment as directed.

If paying via etransfer, registration for your desired class is only confirmed once payment has been received.

If you are paying by PayPal, you will be re-directed to the PayPal website for you to make payment and then once payment is made, you will be re-directed back to our site.

We will send you an email acknowledging your order and confirming whether we have accepted your order.

If at any stage you have made an error in your order, you may email us at K9petdogtraining@gmail.com to correct any errors.

If you are purchasing online, you should print a copy of these T&Cs for your records as we will not be filing a copy and we may change these T&Cs from time to time.

These T&Cs should be read in conjunction with our Website Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy - all of which can be found on our website (“SITE”).

Any content posted or submitted by you to our SITE in the course of the Program is subject at all times to the Acceptable Use Policy.

Where you are a corporate entity, “you” as used in these T&Cs shall be deemed to include your officers and employees and you shall procure that such officers and employees fully comply with these Terms.

 
PROGRAM

 

The Program will be provided for the course specified on the sales page and may be delivered by a combination of online sessions, telephone sessions, one-on-one or group in-person sessions (“IPS”), or as a downloadable product as detailed on the SITE.

The date and time of all telephone or online sessions and IPS are as set out on the SITE but are subject to change. We will provide you with as much notice of any change as is possible but we shall not be liable to you in any way for any change to such dates or times.

In Person Sessions

There is a $20 non-refundable booking fee applied to In-Person or Zoom bookings. This amount will be applied towards your fee. 

 

If you need to cancel an In-Person Session ("IPS") or Zoom session, you should provide us with as much notice as possible (by emailing K9petdogtraining@gmail.com).   If you provide us with less than 48 hours’ notice or fail to provide us with any notice, we will not be able to reschedule the session until half the session cost has been paid and shall not be obliged to refund you any amounts paid in relation to said session. 

The IPS may be held in third party venues and you agree to comply at all times with said venue’s policies and rules in relation to said venue (particularly fire safety and health and safety rules). We will require you to leave if you do not comply with these policies and rules and shall not be obliged to refund you any amounts paid in relation to such session.

You are responsible for your pet and your own belongings that you take to an IPS and neither we nor the venue will be liable for any loss, damage, theft or destruction of any of your belongings.

Telephone Sessions

Telephone sessions shall start and end at the scheduled times regardless of the time that you join the call. If you are late for an individual telephone call, this may be extended at our discretion but if we need to end at the scheduled time, we shall not be obliged to refund you any amounts in relation to said session.

 
Online Sessions

The online sessions of the Program are held on third party secure servers and we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the online content will be available at all times during the course of the Program. In the event that such content (or any content added by you or other participants in the Program) is not available in whole or in part at any time, or becomes corrupted, is deleted or is failed to be stored, we shall have no liability in any circumstances.

The Agreement shall continue until the end of the Program, when the Agreement shall expire other than for the T&Cs that are specifically stated to remain in force.

Termination of this agreement shall not affect either of our accrued rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities of either of us as at the date of termination of this Contract, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination. Any delay by us in exercising our right to terminate the Contract shall not constitute a waiver of our right to terminate or to seek any other remedy.

Paragraphs which expressly or by implication have effect after termination of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the date of termination of the Agreement.

This section ("Term and Termination") shall survive termination of the Agreement. Where the Agreement expires, this shall be treated as a termination for the purposes of all paragraphs that refer to “termination”.

 

 
LIABILITY

Nothing in this section ("liability") shall limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for any matter for which liability cannot be legally excluded or limited.

Our total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Agreement shall in all circumstances be limited to the price paid by you for the Program. If we are prevented from or delayed in performing our obligations by your act or omission or by any circumstance outside of our control, we shall not be liable to you for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by you that arise directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.

We shall not be not liable for additional costs incurred by you as a result of changes in (i) the Program, (ii) any other content, (iii) the location of venues, (iv) the time and date of sessions or (v) trainers, instructors or assistants.

The provisions of this section ("Liability") shall survive termination of the Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between us and supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between us relating to the provision of the Program (which shall be deemed to have been terminated by mutual consent);

  2. In entering into the Agreement you have not relied on any undertaking, promise, assurance, statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether in writing or not) of any person (whether party to the Contract or not) relating to the provision of the Program other than as expressly set out in the Contract.

 

 
GENERAL

By registering for our Programs you warrant that:

  1. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and agreements;

  2. You are at least 18 years old;

  3. That all information you provide us with is materially true and accurate at all times and not misleading in any way

 

You accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic.  We will contact you by e-mail or provide you with information by posting notices on our site and/or social platforms.  You agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.  This condition does not affect your statutory rights.

We may vary these T&Cs (other than the price payable by you for the Program) as we see fit from time to time and if we do, we shall notify you by email of the change of terms. Your continuation with the Program will be deemed to be your acceptance of any new T&Cs.

The Agreement is personal to you and you may not assign, transfer, charge, subcontract, sub-license or deal in any other manner with all or any of your rights under the Agreement. We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Agreement, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Agreement.

If we fail to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Agreement, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Agreement, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by us of any of these Terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is in writing.

If any of these T&Cs are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

A person who is not a party to the Agreement shall not have any rights under the Agreement (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Agreement.

The rights of the parties to terminate, rescind or agree any variation, waiver or settlement under the Contract are not subject to the consent of any person that is not a party to the Agreement.

The Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Canadian law. We each irrevocably agree that the courts of Canada shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).

Unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to one gender shall include a reference to the other gender.
