Terms of Service

Last Updated: 12 February 2026

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Service Care Team website and pet care services. By accessing our website or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.

Service Care Team provides professional pet care services in the Kitchener-Waterloo region, including but not limited to:

  • Daily dog walking services
  • Puppy visit check-ins
  • Pet feeding during owner travel
  • Medication administration
  • Basic grooming coordination

All services are provided subject to availability and are scheduled through mutual agreement between you and Service Care Team.

Client Responsibilities

As a client of Service Care Team, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information about your pet, including health conditions, behavioral issues, and special needs
  • Ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention as required by law
  • Inform us immediately of any changes to your pet's health, behavior, or care requirements
  • Provide safe access to your home and ensure the environment is safe for our team members

  • Pay for services according to agreed-upon rates and payment terms
  • Give reasonable notice for schedule changes or cancellations

Scheduling and Cancellations

Service appointments are scheduled by mutual agreement. We strive to accommodate your preferred times while managing our overall schedule efficiently.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans change. However, last-minute cancellations affect our ability to serve other clients. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance: no charge
  • Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance: 50% of scheduled service fee
  • Same-day cancellations or no-shows: full service fee charged

Emergency situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Payment Terms

Payment for services is due according to the schedule agreed upon during initial consultation. We accept various payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, and electronic transfers.

Late payments may result in suspension of services. Outstanding balances may be subject to interest charges or collection efforts if not resolved promptly.

Liability and Insurance

Service Care Team carries comprehensive liability insurance and bonding. However, certain limitations apply:

Our Liability

We take every precaution to ensure your pet's safety and wellbeing. However, we cannot be held liable for:

  • Pre-existing health conditions that manifest during our care
  • Injuries resulting from your pet's behavior or actions
  • Damage to property caused by your pet
  • Circumstances beyond our reasonable control

Your Liability

You agree to indemnify and hold Service Care Team harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from:

  • Your pet's behavior or actions
  • Inaccurate or incomplete information you provide
  • Unsafe conditions in your home
  • Your failure to disclose relevant information about your pet

Emergency Veterinary Care

In the event of a pet emergency, we will attempt to contact you immediately. If we cannot reach you, we are authorized to seek emergency veterinary care for your pet. You agree to be responsible for all veterinary costs incurred. We will use the veterinary clinic you designate or, if unavailable, the nearest appropriate facility.

Keys and Home Access

If you provide us with keys or access codes to your home, we will maintain them securely. Keys will be labeled with a code rather than your address. We will not share access information with unauthorized parties. You may request return of keys at any time.

Photographs and Updates

As part of our service, we provide photo updates of your pet. By using our services, you grant us permission to photograph your pet during care visits. We may use these photos for service documentation and, with your explicit consent, for marketing purposes. You may opt out of marketing use at any time.

Intellectual Property

All content on the Service Care Team website, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Service Care Team or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.

Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using our services, you consent to the practices described in that policy.

Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our services at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of significant changes that affect existing clients.

Termination

Either party may terminate the service relationship at any time with written notice. Upon termination:

  • You remain responsible for payment of all services provided up to the termination date
  • We will return any keys or access devices in our possession
  • We will securely delete or return any confidential information as requested

We reserve the right to terminate services immediately if you breach these Terms or if we determine that continuing service poses a risk to our team members or other clients.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Service Care Team's liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the amount paid for the specific service that gave rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall be resolved in the courts of Quebec.

Dispute Resolution

We encourage clients to contact us directly to resolve any concerns or disputes. If informal resolution is not successful, both parties agree to attempt mediation before pursuing litigation.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any service-specific agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and Service Care Team regarding our services and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post updated Terms on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
