By setting up an account on the Snuffle mobile application, you agree with our terms and conditions, cookie policy and our privacy policy. By agreeing to these terms of service during the account sign-up process or using Snuffle in another way, you accept the terms of service. If you do not agree with these terms, you should not accept them in which case you do not have the right to use Snuffle. Snuffle terms of service can be updated at any given moment in time and these terms will be effective when we post these modified terms of service, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
We continue to monitor and update our Terms and Conditions agreement on a regular basis in order to reflect changes in law, new features or changes in business practices. The most recent version of our Terms and Conditions will be available through our application or Snuffle.app website. Please check regularly for updates. If there are upcoming key changes we will inform users about this update at least 30 days before the changes are published. If you continue to use the service after the changes come into action, the user agrees automatically with the revised Terms and Conditions.
The Snuffle Service is a mobile application and provides support to ‘Pet Owners’ and providers of pet-related services, referred to as ‘Pet Service Providers’, which is used to find, communicate with and interact with each other. We charge fees for certain aspects of the Snuffle Service as described in these terms.
Snuffle does not provide Pet Care Services. Snuffle is a neutral party for service providers and pet owners. Snuffle is not a service Provider and, except for emergency phone support and other resources and support specifically described in the Snuffle Service, does not provide pet care services. We make no representations or warranties about the quality of boarding, pet sitting, pet and dog walking, house sitting, or other services provided by Service Providers (“Pet Care Services”), or about your interactions and dealings with users. Service Providers listed on Snuffle are not under the direction or control of Snuffle, and Service Providers determine in their own discretion how to provide Pet Care Services. Though we provide general guidance on our Site to Service Providers about safety and pet care and to Pet Owners about selecting and engaging Service Providers, Snuffle does not employ, recommend or endorse Service Providers or Pet Owners, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be responsible or liable for the performance or conduct of Service Providers or Pet Owners, whether online or offline. We conduct an initial review of Service Provider profiles and we facilitate Background Checks or Identification Verifications on Service Providers conducted by a third party, but, except where explicitly specified in the Snuffle Service (and then only to the extent specified), do not otherwise screen Service Providers or Pet Owners. You should exercise caution and use your independent judgment before engaging a Service Provider, providing Pet Care Services, or otherwise interacting with users via the Snuffle Service. Pet Owners and Service Providers are solely responsible for making decisions that are in the best interests of themselves and their pets. For example, each user of the Snuffle Service is responsible for keeping current his or her own pet’s vaccinations, and we will have no liability for anyone’s failure to vaccinate his or her pet.
Snuffle has no liability for any claims, injuries, loss, harm and/or damages arising from and/or in any way related to your interactions or dealings with other users and the acts and/or omissions of Service Providers and Pet Owners, whether online or offline. You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by the applicable law, YOUR USE AND/OR PROVISION OF PET CARE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RISK. (Any financial obligations Snuffle may have to its users in connection with user conduct are limited to the reimbursement of booked services under mentioned conditions.)
Transactions are between Pet Owners and Service Providers. The Snuffle Service may be used to find and offer Pet Care Services and to facilitate payment, but all transactions conducted via the Snuffle Service are between Pet Owners and Service Providers. Except for the limited refunds, you agree that Snuffle has no liability for damages associated with Pet Care Services (which may include bodily injury to, or death of, a pet) or resulting from any other transactions between users of the Snuffle Service.
In order to use Snuffle, the user must be at least 18 years old to create a Snuffle account and to use the service. By setting up an account you form a binding contract with Snuffle, you confirm not being a person who is barred from using the service under any applicable jurisdiction, and you will comply with our Terms and Conditions and all applicable local, province, state, country and international laws, rules and regulations. Also, you have never been convicted of any crime or offense including sex crime or any other crime involving violence and that you are not requested to register as an offender of any type with any province, national or international offender registry.
BOOKINGS
Pet Owners and Service Providers transact with each other on the Snuffle App when they both agree to a “booking” that specifies the fees, time period, and other terms for provision of Pet Care Services via the booking mechanism provided on the Snuffle Service (a “Booking”). A Booking may be initiated by a Pet Owner by selecting the type(s) of Pet Care Services to be provided and then following the prompts that appear on-screen. If you are a Pet Owner and you initiate a Booking, you agree to pay for the Pet Care Services described in the Booking when you click “Book” If you are a Pet Owner and a Service Provider initiates a Booking, you agree to pay for the Pet Care Services described in the Booking when you click “Pay Now.” All requests are subject to acceptance by the receiving party. The receiving party is not obligated to accept your (or any) request and may, at their discretion, decline for any reason. Once you complete a Booking, you agree to honor the price and other terms of that Booking, as acknowledged in the Booking confirmation.
Pet Owners are Solely Responsible for Evaluating Service Providers
Pet Owners are solely responsible for evaluating the suitability of Service Providers for the services they offer to provide. Though Snuffle performs a limited review of Service Provider profiles and facilitates Service Provider Background Checks or Identity Verifications conducted by a third party, any such screening is limited, and Snuffle does not warrant that any such screen is accurate, complete, conclusive or up-to-date. Similarly, Snuffle does not endorse reviews of Service Providers by other Pet Owners that may be available via the Snuffle Service, and Snuffle makes no commitments that such reviews are accurate or legitimate.
ABANDONED PETS AND RE-HOMING
Pet Owners who arrange for Pet Care Services and fail to retrieve their pet after the service period identified in a Booking agree that Snuffle (or the Service Provider) may, in its (or his or her) sole discretion, place the pet in foster care, transfer care to animal control or other law enforcement authorities, or find other alternate care. Pet Owner agrees to reimburse Snuffle and/or the Service Provider for all costs and expenses associated with such actions. Further, Snuffle expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove a Pet Owner’s pet from a Service Provider’s care should Snuffle deem it necessary for the safety of a pet, the Service Provider, or any persons living with the Service Provider. Prior to removing a pet from the care of a Service Provider, Snuffle will use reasonable efforts during its normal business hours to contact the Pet Owner and/or the Pet Owner’s emergency contact (if provided) to arrange alternative care. Should Snuffle not be able to contact the Pet Owner Snuffle will use its best judgment to find alternative care for the pet until the Pet Owner is able to retrieve his/her pet. If you are a Pet Owner, you authorize your pet’s veterinarian(s) to release your pet’s veterinary records to Snuffle in connection with any such relocation or re-homing of your pet. In addition, you are responsible for and agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Snuffle in connection with such transfer.
EMERGENCIES
We recommend that Pet Owners give their Service Providers contact information where they can be reached in the event medical care for a pet becomes necessary. Service Providers agree to immediately contact Pet Owners in the event such care becomes necessary or, if the Pet Owner is not available, to contact Snuffle at the applicable email address (contact@snuffle.app) also listed in the table at the end of these Terms. If you are a Pet Owner, you hereby authorize your Service Provider and Snuffle to obtain and authorize the provision of veterinary care for your pet if you cannot be reached to authorize care yourself in an emergency situation. In such case, you also authorize your pet’s veterinarian(s) to release your pet’s veterinary records to Snuffle. If your Service Provider reaches you with a request to authorize medical care for your pet and you refuse, you release the Service Provider and Snuffle for any injury, damage or liability arising from failure to seek such care. Pet Owners are responsible for the costs of any such medical treatment for pets and, if you are a Pet Owner, you hereby authorize Snuffle to charge your credit card or other payment method for such costs. Snuffle recommends that all users have adequate pet insurance to cover the costs of veterinary care.

It is your sole responsibility to maintain backup copies of Your Content.

We reserve the right to screen, edit or remove these reviews from the Snuffle Service at any time.
CURRENCY
All fees, deductible amounts and other payments referenced on, or charged through, the Snuffle Service are listed and payable in local currency.
FEES FOR PET OWNERS
Pet Owners may purchase Pet Care Services from a Service Provider by completing a Booking. If you are a Pet Owner, you enter into a transaction with the Service Provider when you accept a Booking, and you agree to pay the total amount indicated in the Booking, which includes service fees payable to Snuffle. The Service Provider, not Snuffle, is responsible for performing the Pet Care Services. Where required by law, the amount charged will be inclusive of applicable taxes.
FEES FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS
Service Providers may agree to provide Pet Care Services to a Pet Owner by agreeing to a Booking. If you are a Service Provider, you must confirm the Booking before it expires or the Pet Owner will have no obligation to complete the transaction. Once the Booking is completed by both parties, you agree to honor the price set forth in your Booking. The purchase of Pet Care Services is a transaction between the Pet Owner and the Service Provider. Snuffle’s role is to facilitate the transaction. We will (either directly or indirectly through an authorized third party) collect payment from the Pet Owner at the time of Booking and initiate payment to the Service Provider’s account 48 hours after completion of the service period indicated in the Booking. Except where otherwise specified via the Snuffle Service, they are calculated as a percentage of the fees a Pet Owner agrees to pay a Service Provider in a Booking and are collected from each Booking. Where required by law, the amount charged will be inclusive of applicable taxes.
SERVICE FEES
We charge service fees for some aspects of the Snuffle Service.
LATE FEES AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES
If you are a Pet Owner, you acknowledge and agree that, if you fail to retrieve your pet at the end of the service period agreed in a Booking, you will be charged for additional service time (pro rata for each partial late day) at the daily rate established in the Booking. In addition, you agree to indemnify Snuffle for, and agree that we may charge your credit card or other payment method for, any additional costs and expenses we or the Service Provider incur as a result of your failure to retrieve your pet at the end of the service period agreed in a Booking.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
BOOKING PROCESS
Snuffle can help you find replacement Service Providers when Service Providers cancel Bookings near the start date of the service period identified in the Booking. The availability of cancelling for free depends on the timing of the cancellation and the type of Pet Care Services provided.
CANCELLATIONS BY SERVICE PROVIDER
If a Service Provider cancels a Booking prior to or during the service period identified in the Booking, we will refund the fees paid by the Pet Owner for Pet Care Services not provided, as well as any service charge paid to Snuffle. If you are a Service Provider, you can appoint a substitute Service Provider (as agreed by the Pet Owner and so long as the substitute has an active account on the Snuffle Service and has agreed in writing to accept a Booking) by contacting Snuffle to modify the Booking. If you do not find a substitute and repeatedly cancel accepted Bookings without justification, Snuffle may deactivate your account.
CANCELLATIONS BY PET OWNER
If a Pet Owner cancels a Booking prior to or during the service period specified in a Booking, we will refund fees in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Service Provider on the Snuffle Service. All Service Providers are required to select a cancellation policy prior to completing a Booking so that Pet Owners are aware of the cancellation policy prior to Booking.
REFUNDS FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM
If we determine in our reasonable discretion that a Service Provider has failed to provide Pet Care Services as agreed with the Pet Owner or is otherwise in breach of these Terms, then we may, in our reasonable discretion, cancel a Booking and/or issue a full or partial refund to a Pet Owner.
GENERAL TERMS FOR CANCELLATIONS
If you wish to cancel a Booking, you should use the mechanisms available through Snuffle to do so. The date of cancellation is the date that a user cancels through the Snuffle Service, regardless of any separate communications between users outside of the Snuffle Service.
PAYMENT DISPUTES AND PAYMENT OUTSIDE OF THE SNUFFLE SERVICE
Snuffle initiates payments to Service Providers 48 hours after completion of a Booking. Once these amounts have been disbursed, any further payment disputes are between the Pet Owner and Service Provider, and Snuffle has no obligation to mediate or facilitate any resolution. Further, Snuffle has no responsibility or liability with respect to any tips, bonuses, or other payments made outside of the Snuffle Service.
PAYMENT HOLDS
If you are a Service Provider, Snuffle reserves the right to issue a hold on amounts if there is any reasonable suspicion of fraudulent activity involving your account(s) or for other similarly compelling reasons involving protection of Snuffle, the Snuffle community or third party rights. We may also recommend that third party payment service providers restrict your access to funds in your account under the foregoing circumstances.
AUTHORIZATION TO CHARGE
When you pay for Pet Care Services or for other services on the Snuffle Service, you will be required to provide us with valid, up-to-date credit card or other payment information and to maintain that payment information (or an acceptable alternative payment method) on file with your account so long as you have any outstanding, confirmed Bookings. Snuffle’s role is to facilitate payments from Pet Owners to Service Providers as a limited payment agent for the Service Provider. You authorize us to charge your credit card or other payment method for fees you incur on the Snuffle Service as they become due and payable, and to charge any alternative payment method Snuffle has on record for you in the event your primary payment method is expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date payment information. If we cannot charge you for fees when due because your payment information is no longer valid, or if we do not receive your payment when due, then you understand that neither Snuffle nor the Service Provider will be responsible for any failure to provide services associated with those fees. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all fees paid via the Snuffle Service are non-refundable once paid.
TAXES
Except for taxes on Snuffle’s income and gross receipts or where Snuffle is otherwise required to collect taxes, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible to pay any applicable taxes that arise as a result of your purchase, provision, or use of Pet Care Services via the Snuffle Service. This includes, without limitation, any form of sales tax, VAT, or income tax on fees paid or received by you through the Snuffle Service.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
Payment processing services are provided by PayPal and subject to the PayPal Services Agreement (available at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/), and, if you are receiving payments via the Snuffle Service, the Snuffle Connected Account Agreement (available at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/) (collectively, the “PayPal Terms”). In order to use the Snuffle Service to receive payment, you may be required to set up a PayPal account and accept the PayPal Terms. You authorize Snuffle to obtain all necessary access to, and perform all necessary activity on (including requesting refunds where appropriate), your PayPal Account to facilitate payment related to Pet Care Services you purchase or provide. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information about you and your business, and authorize Snuffle to share it and transaction information with PayPal for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services provided by PayPal. Snuffle reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors or use alternate or backup vendors in its discretion.
Snuffle may provide Service Providers with access to third party consumer reporting agencies that perform, among other things, personal identification verification services (“Identity Verification”). We do not provide, and are not responsible or liable in any manner for, the Background Checks or Identity Verifications, and we do not endorse or make any representations or warranties regarding the reliability of such Background Checks or Identity Verifications or the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of any information in the Background Checks or Identity Verifications. We do not independently verify information in the Background Checks or Identity Verifications.
If you undergo a Background Check or Identity Verification via the Snuffle Service, you hereby consent to the collection, use and disclosure of the information in the Background Check or Identity Verification, and you agree to provide complete and accurate information for your Background Check or Identity Verification. You understand and agree that Snuffle may, in its sole discretion, review and rely on the information in the Background Check or Identity Verification in deciding whether to suspend or terminate or investigate a complaint about a Service Provider, but also that we are not obligated to do so, and are not responsible or liable in any way in the event that any information in any Background Check or Identity Verification is not accurate, timely or complete. If you are the subject of a Background Check or Identity Verification, you may contact the applicable third-party consumer reporting agency to dispute the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of such information. You agree that Snuffle’s rights and obligations under the Arbitration Agreement inure to the benefit of the consumer reporting agency used for Background Checks or Identity Verification in respect of any claim that would be subject to the Arbitration Agreement if brought against us. Snuffle reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Snuffle Service based on information in the Background Check or Identity Verification or for any other reason, or no reason, in our sole discretion.
Pet Owners remain fully responsible to evaluate and investigate their Service Providers. Be aware of the following limitations in Background Checks: Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms or through the Service, Snuffle does not automatically run Background Checks on any Users. Background Checks may vary by type, breadth and depth.

Snuffle always tries to improve its functionality by adding new features from time to time, reviewing and removing some existing ones. If these changes do not materially affect your rights we may not inform you about these. We even may suspend Snuffle services entirely, in this case we will let you know in advance unless extenuating circumstances including safety or security concerns that are occurring prevent us from doing so.
You understand and agree that we have no obligation to provide the Snuffle Service in any specific location or territory, nor to continue providing it once we have begun. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Snuffle Service: (1) if in our discretion your conduct on the Site or Snuffle Service is inappropriate, unsafe, dishonest, or in breach of these terms; or (2) if necessary in our discretion to protect Snuffle, its users, pets, or the public. You may suspend or terminate your use of the Snuffle Service at any time and for any reason. If you wish to deactivate your account, please contact Snuffle.
