Contacting An Advertiser

You acknowledge and agree that we are not able to check the truth or accuracy of any statement made by any person advertising on https://www.pedigreegundogs.com/

You accept that you have the responsibility to verify all statements made and all documentation offered by any advertiser.

You confirm that you have read the Buying Check List we post on the Site, particularly the advice we give never to send any money online to an advertiser for a dog or a deposit for a dog. You accept and acknowledge that we do not have any means of verifying the honesty of any advertiser and that if you do send money using an online service, we have no responsibility to you if, and when you lose that money.

You should confirm that the advertiser is a genuine person. You can do this by visiting the dog at the advertisers home, if they make excuses or try to ask for money or a deposit without seeing the dog, or if the advertiser attempts to deliver the dog or meet you at any other location than their own home, then please do not agree to this.

When using the email seller option to contact an advertiser, any details you enter will be forwarded directly to the advertiser so they can contact you directly.

When sending an email to our advertisers through our services, you accept that we cannot guarantee that the email will be delivered successfully. We do have functionality in place to prevent certain emails from being sent through our service. Also, some advertisers email accounts may mark the emails as spam and therefore may never receive the email to their inbox.

Cancellation By Us

We have the absolute right to cancel any Advert which you place on the Site and/or to cancel your Account:

With immediate effect and without notice if we know or suspect that you have broken any of these terms and conditions; and
with immediate effect, if we give you notice to that effect by email to you for any reason we, in our absolute discretion, think fit.

You agree that you are not entitled to any compensation should we choose to cancel an advertisement or your Account, whether with or without reason.

Disclaimers

We can’t promise that the Site will meet your needs, that it will work properly, that it will be fit for a particular purpose and that it will not infringe the rights of others.

We can’t promise that the Site will work with all systems, that it will be secure and that all information provided will be accurate.

Any advice given on the Site is general in nature and may not apply to you and/or your circumstances. Unless the advice is given to you as part of a paid for service we offer on the Site, you must take steps to double check that that advice is effective for you.

We take all reasonable effort to test material before placing it on the Site. In the very unlikely event of any loss, disruption or damage caused by material on the Site, we cannot be held responsible for any loss, disruption or damage to your data or computer system which may occur.

Because we cannot know and understand your personal circumstances, we cannot guarantee that any suggestion in any material we provide will cause any specific outcome and any and all such material is provided by way of general suggestion only and not in any form of warranty on our part as to any outcome you may achieve.

The only rights you have under these T&Cs are those mentioned within them. If a right is not mentioned (unless it is a right given to you under the laws of England and Wales) then it does not exist.

Problems and Complaints

We do our very best to make sure that you do not experience any problems but if you do, you must tell us straight away.

We will do what we can to resolve the problem as quickly as we can and without charge to you if we agree that you have a problem.

If you wish to raise a complaint about us or any other user, please send full details of that complaint to us using this Contact Page. If we agree that your complaint has merit we will, at our option, contact any other user involved, suspend an Advert which as caused an issue and take such other steps as we deem appropriate to resolve the complaint. We do not operate a formal complaints procedure and will deal with all complaints in the manner which we feel is the most reasonable way forward. You have various rights under these Terms and Conditions and at law and nothing in these Terms and Conditions will have any affect on any of your legal rights.

Availability of the Site

We never guarantee that the Site or the System will be available all the time and if it’s not available for any reason you can’t hold us responsible for anything you lose as a result.

We have the right to change the Site and the services it offers, the way it operates and/or suspend it or stop it at any time.

Limitation of Liability

We have limited resources and cannot guarantee that we will respond to any message you send to us, within a specific timeframe or at all. Whilst we will always do our best to respond to you, we will have no liability if we are unable to do so.

Please bear in mind that we are a platform for the display of dogs for re-homing and have no facilities for and neither do we offer any vetting service of the advertisers. We have no control over any transaction in which you are involved, neither can we verify the truth of any statements made in an Advert. Before you agree to re-home or to supply any dog you agree to take all the precautions needed to make sure that the person with whom you are dealing has been open and honest.

You enter into any transaction with any other user of this Site at your own risk.

We do not accept any liability if you are using the services we supply for commercial purposes.

On behalf of us and anyone who works with or for us (as far as we are allowed by law) we deny liability for any losses of all kinds which you incur from using the services we offer, visiting the Site and using the System.

We will have no liability on the ending of any advertisement you have placed on the Site, if either you or we terminate your Account.

If we are found to be liable for any loss you sustain, you accept and agree that our liability is limited to the direct losses you have sustained and will not include any loss to your goodwill, profit or reputation or any indirect, special or consequential losses of any nature and you agree that the maximum amount you may recover in respect of any direct losses is limited to £100.00. Nothing in these T&Cs excludes or restricts our liability for death or personal injury resulting from any negligence or fraud on our part.

Links to Other Websites

We don’t control any of the websites we link to and so we can’t be responsible for the content of such websites and disclaim liability for any losses which come out of you using them.

Just because we link to a site does not mean that we endorse or recommend that site.

We can never guarantee that a link will work.

If you find any link we offer to be offensive, please let us know and we will consider removing it.

If you link to any other site using our Site then you understand that separate conditions will apply to those sites and that we have no control over those conditions – so you agree that you will read and understand them before using those sites.

Modifications of These Terms and Conditions & the Site

We’ve already said this, but we need to make it clear that these T&Cs will change from time to time and we don’t have the resources to let all our visitors know about the changes. As a result you MUST come back to this page to make sure that we haven’t changed the T&Cs and whenever you access the Site, you are confirming to us that you are aware of any changes.

We’ve also got the right to change the Site as and when we want to, but these T&Cs will still apply to any changes we make.
