• You must not feed the puppies or mishandle them. Do not forcefully handle or restrain the puppies; let them approach and interact voluntarily. You must treat the puppies with care and respect at all times.

• We do not offer any refunds or exchanges unless it is within your right of cancellation as stated in our Terms of Service. Any cancellation initiated by you must be communicated to us at least 14 days before the class.

• We reserve the right to cancel classes, please note that in such cancellation, we will issue you a full refund to your original means of payment if tickets were purchased 14 days in advance of the event.

We are always focused on ensuring that our classes go ahead and will announce the breed change to you before the classes start.

These photographs and videos will be used for marketing purposes without compensation to you or request for further approvals (apart from this) from you. Our use must be legal and in a manner that does not bring you to disrepute.
