Between Paws & Galore Agadir ("the Service Provider") and the pet owner ("the Client").

1. Services Provided

  • Scope: We provide premium pet care services which may include grooming, dog walking, training, day-care and boarding as mutually agreed.
  • Booking: All services must be booked in advance via our official WhatsApp business account or reservation line.

2. Fees, Deposits & Payment Terms

  • Rates: The Client agrees to pay the service fees outlined in the current price list provided at the time of booking.
  • Accepted methods: We accept PayPal, bank transfer (MAD or international), Cash App and cash. Payment details are confirmed with each booking.
  • Non-refundable deposit: A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total estimated service fee is required to secure all overnight boarding and peak-season bookings.
  • Balance payment: The remaining 50% balance must be paid in full in Moroccan Dirham (MAD) upon drop-off, unless paid in advance via PayPal or bank transfer.
  • Late cancellation: Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled service will result in the total forfeiture of the 50% deposit.

3. Check-In, Pick-Up & Late Fees

  • Operating hours: Standard drop-off and pick-up windows are strictly between 08:00 and 19:00.
  • Late pick-up fee: If a pet is not picked up by the scheduled time, a late fee of 50 MAD per hour will be automatically charged.

4. Overnight Boarding Limits & Abandonment

  • Maximum stay: The maximum continuous boarding period permitted for any pet is 14 consecutive days, unless a specialised extended-stay contract is signed in advance.
  • Abandonment clause: If a pet is not picked up within 5 days after the scheduled check-out date, and the Client cannot be reached via the provided emergency contact details, the pet will be legally deemed abandoned.
