LAST UPDATED: September 29th 2021

My Puppy School Ltd. (“MPS”) is a business incorporated pursuant to the laws of province of Ontario. MPS provides a variety of group consulting sessions related to the purchase and/or care of dogs, online via videoconference (the “Consulting Session(s)”). By clicking “I ACCEPT” or by engaging MPS for Consulting Sessions, you (the “Client”) agree that you have read and understood and agree to be bound by these terms of service (the “Terms”), which shall apply in respect of all Consulting Sessions provided by MPS to the Client.

SECTION 1 – CONSULTING SESSION PURCHASE, RESCHEDULING AND CANCELLATION

1.1 Fees. The Client is required to pay in advance for each Consulting Session. Pricing for Consulting Sessions will be available on MPS’s website and is subject to change from time to time. Any fees paid for Consulting Sessions are non-refundable.

1.2 Scheduling and Rescheduling by Client. All Consulting Sessions must be booked in advance with MPS and may not be changed, except as provided for herein. If a Client is unable to attend a Consulting Session, they may transfer the scheduled Consulting Session to another person, provided that notice by email is provided to MPS, and the transferee agrees to be bound by these Terms.

1.3 Cancellation by MPS. MPS reserves the right to cancel a scheduled Consulting Session. Clients who are registered for a cancelled Consulting Session will be able to reschedule the Consulting Session for any time slot that is available within one year following the date of the cancelled Consulting Session. Failure to reschedule a Consulting Session within the aforementioned period will result in the forfeiture of said Consulting Session without refund. Under no circumstances will fees be refundable to the Client.

1.4 Lateness of Client. The Client is expected to arrive on time for any scheduled Consulting Session. Consulting Sessions will not be extended, nor any fees reimbursed, as a result of the late arrival of the Client to their scheduled Consulting Session.

SECTION 2 – POLICIES

2.1 Aggressive/Disruptive Clients. As the Consulting Sessions are held in a group format, it is important that all attendees maintain a cooperative and positive attitude. The Client may be removed from the Consulting Session, without refund, if MPS determines that the Client’s behaviour is disruptive or aggressive.

2.2 Use of Client’s Image. By engaging MPS for Consulting Sessions, the Client consents to the following:

during Consulting Sessions MPS may collect and retain photographs, videos, or other recordings of the Client, which will become the property of MPS (the “Client’s Image”).

MPS may use the Client’s Image for marketing, advertising and other business purposes (including, without limitation, the creation of promotional materials, brochures, website and social media content). The Client waives any right to compensation for any use of the Client’s Image.

2.3 Consent. If the Client provides notice by email to MPS retracting consent for the use of the Client’s Image, MPS will refrain from using the Client’s Image in any future publication. If consent is retracted, incidental collection of the Client’s Image may still occur in connection with the Client attending a Consulting Session; however, MPS agrees that the Client’s Image will not be used by MPS for marketing, advertising or other business purposes other than with the Client’s prior consent.

2.4 Privacy Policy. MPS is committed to protecting Client privacy and will not disclose the Client’s personal information to any third party to enable them to market their products and services and we do not sell Client personal information under any circumstances. For further details related to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, please reference MPS’s Privacy Policy, as may be amended from time to time.

2.5 Third Party Services. MPS uses third-party services to deliver the Consulting Sessions including but not limited to Zoom and other videoconferencing services. The Client acknowledges and agrees that they may be required to agree to third-party terms of service in order to receive such third-party services and participate in the Consulting Session.

2.6 Policies. The Client acknowledges and agrees that MPS will have the right to amend existing and create further operating procedures and policies for its business from time to time (which includes, without limitation, all aspects of the Consulting Session, and other classes or sessions offered by MPS from time to time), and the Client agrees to abide by all such policies and procedures.

SECTION 3 – RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

3.3 Equitable Remedies. The parties acknowledge that a breach of subsections 3.1 or 3.2 hereof may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may prove inadequate.
