Terms
& Conditions
June 2000 - Revised Feb 1, 2001 + Aug
1, 2003 + Nov 1, 2003
Our Terms & Conditions are pretty simple really.
They are designed to let us both know our responsibilities. Please take
the time to read them.
The
Registrant (you) and Contributing (writers)
agree to the following basic terms and conditions:
Except
for your rights as a consumer as provided under common law in the states
of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western
Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory & the Australian Capital
Territory,
You agree that you are the legal custodian of the
animal whose image and details are submitted for inclusion on the
Dog-E-Data internet database.
-
You agree that Dog-E-Data reserves the right to
publish and/or edit your pets photo and biographical data as
supplied to us by you for the purposes of clarity, brevity and
common good taste.
-
All details of the registered animal
will be published on this web site and made publicly available.
-
Your personal details such as residential
address or telephone numbers will NEVER be published on the
Dog-E-Data website or given to anyone else, however we may
publish State, Postcode & E-mail information.
-
We will only ever ask you to confirm your phone
number & street address AFTER we send you a letter
confirming the password you created at registration time and this
will only be used if your animal is ever reported as missing. This
'password' will only ever be used by us to verify you in the future
if needed. Do NOT give anyone your private information unless
they can give you this password. If you are EVER suspicious
about someone, ask if you can call them back on 1800 444 364
to confirm they really are from Dog-E-Data
-
This agreement is for the term of your animals
natural life unless the agreement is terminated in writing by you.
This may be done on a no questions asked basis however the initial
registration fee is non-refundable.
-
Should your beloved animal companion pass away,
Dog-E-Data has the right post its photo and a short testimonial on
the Dog-E-Data site. This will be on a part of the site set aside as
a memorial for deceased animals. There is no charge for this however
the memorial is for a set term of 12 months. Dog-E-Data will not
re-use any deceased animals photo for any other purpose.
-
Links or advertised services appearing on the
Dog-E-Data site not directly related to Dog-E-Data or its affiliates
are neither endorsed or supported in so far as the quality of goods
or services being offered unless noted otherwise.
-
The double sided Dog-E-Data Dog-E-ID tags remain the property of
Dog-E-Data and are lent, NOT sold to the end user. Your
membership fee covers the cost of membership to the Dog-E-Data
database and its on-line facilities and FreeCall 1800 number. The
tags merely reference your dog to the on-line database. Tags should
be returned on termination of membership.
-
Dog-E-ID tags will be replaced if lost, stolen or broken for a $2.00
replacement fee +PP.
-
Registration with the Dog-E-Data internet database
should not be considered a substitute for responsible dog control or
registration. Additionally all dogs should be registered with the
local council in your area according to its by-laws. This
includes council registration and microchipping wherever these laws
apply. It is your responsibility to find out about the laws that
apply to your area.
-
Information provided on the Dog-E-Data website, and its equivalent
printed newsletters is for general information purposes only and
should never be used to replace advice from your veterinary
professional.
-
All photo's and / or articles submitted to and used by Dog-E-Data
remain the property of Dog-E-Data for use in any of its publications
and/or broadcasts on Radio, BroadcastTV, CableTV, InternetTV, CD-ROM
or any other digital and/or electronic media and may be used in any
promotions or advertising from time to time.
-
A Call Centre / Recovery fee was levied on
February 1, 2001. An explanation for this is here.
When your dog has been called in as lost by a third party
OR you call us to advise your dog as missing, Dog-E-Data will issue you an invoice
for $20.00, being the Call Centre fee referred to above. For
more information, please read this.
The fee covers our FreeCall 1800 costs, phone calls to find and
advise you as well as on-going administration of the service. We
will of course use our discretion in charging this fee where death
or injury to the dog has occurred.
By joining Dog-E-Data, you agree to promptly pay the Call Centre
charge should your dog ever be lost - whether known by you or not -
and subsequently returned to you by use of the Dog-E-Data service.
Unpaid Call Centre fees will result in suspension of your membership
and all services until these are paid.
- Details
of purchases made via our Dog-E-Store will never be revealed or
on-sold to any third party. See Dog-E-Store Terms here.
- Any
dog called in as 'Lost/Found' that has a Dog-E-ID tag on it and is
subsequently found to be either an Un-Paid Member, a Suspended
Member, or was wearing our ID Tag without being part of a current
formal agreement with any third party will be charged a full
membership fee at the current rate plus
17.
Other items:
a.
Membership is not directly transferrable to a new owner. If you sell,
give away or dispose of your dog to another person WITH the Dog-E-ID tag
still attached, you are responsible for any Call Centre fees incurred by
that dog. You should advise any new owner that there is a small transfer
of membership fee to be paid BEFORE they are considered financial
members. This fee is currently just $10.00
b. Questions to Dr Joanne are for current member's registered
dogs only. It is not a requirement that you join all your dogs however
we can only answer questions relating to currently listed dogs.
c. You agree that all information provided on this website is for
general information and entertainment purposes only. You should always
seek qualified veterinary, behavioural and other advice first hand for
the welfare of your animal.
