   3. You may apply to book a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session at  the same time but the booking will not be final until  We confirm to You Our availability. Our decision whether or not to accept Your application is in Our absolute discretion.
   4. When We confirm that We accept Your application there will be a contract between You and Us on these Terms and Conditions. However, You will not incur any obligations under that contract: You will only incur any obligations under any contract comprising a booking made on these Terms and Conditions pursuant to and subject to Clause 3.

1. Booking and Cancellation of Pet Sitting/Cat Care Sessions, and Consumer Rights
   1. You must be 18 or over and a “Consumer” to book any Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session.
   2. A time period for any particular date(s) requested for a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session is subject to availability. We will not reserve or guarantee any particular time period for any Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session until You book and pay in advance for it and We accept the booking pursuant and subject to sub-Clause 3.6.
   3. You may register and pre-book a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session through https://www.mewvellous.com. Please note there are two separate forms; one for Pet Sitting Sessions and another one for Cat Care Sessions.
   4. We will only provide a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session for You if You have pre-booked and paid in advance for it. 
   5. Your request to book a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session will be Your offer to make that booking on the basis of the contents of the completed Registration Form and these Terms and Conditions. Whether We accept any such booking will be for Us to decide at Our discretion whenever You make such an offer. Only if and when We tell You that We accept Your request to book a particular Pet Sitting/Cat CareSession and You have paid for it will there be a booking (on these Terms and Conditions) which is a binding contract between You and Us for that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session.
   6. When You book any Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session(s), We will require You to pay Us in advance for it/them, and We will be entitled to keep some or all of that payment as set out in sub-Clauses 3.9 or 3.10 below if You later cancel a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session without giving Us the prior notice that We require to be given as explained in the following provisions of this Clause 3.
   7. If, when We arrive at Your Premises on time to begin any Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session, We cannot begin that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session immediately due to a delay not attributable to Us, We will not extend the length of the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session beyond its scheduled finishing time and date unless We specifically agree to do so after We arrive at Your Premises. We may treat a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session that You have booked as cancelled by You without notice to Us if there is such a delay of more than  half an hour after the scheduled start of the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session or You tell Us at any time that the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session cannot begin for any reason either until more than 2 hours after its scheduled start, or that it cannot start at all. If We treat the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session as cancelled in any such case, We may then (but We are not obliged to) give all or any part of Your booked date(s) period for it to any other client wishing to book any or all of that period. We may decide to make a charge to You for that cancelled Pet Sitting/Cat  Session, and sub-Clause 3.9 below will then apply.
   8. You may cancel a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session without charge if You give Us at least 2 days prior notice of the cancellation. If You do so We will refund to You any sum You paid in advance unless when You cancel You ask instead to rebook for a later, substitute, Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session and if We then in our discretion accept that substitute booking
   9. If You do not give Us at least 2 days prior notice of cancellation of a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session, We will be entitled to charge You for any net financial loss that We suffer due to Your cancellation but that charge will be limited to an amount equal to the full price of that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session (i.e. the price paid for it where it was an individual stand alone Session). We will be entitled to deduct that charge from any sum You paid in advance for that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session, and We shall refund any balance to You.
   10. If, due to exceptional circumstances including, but not limited to, illness or accident suffered by the Pet or You or any member of Your household, You cancel a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session without giving Us at least 2 hours prior notice, We will consider the circumstances and in Our discretion decide whether to waive any charge for late cancellation that We are entitled to make under the above provisions of this Clause 3.
   11. We may cancel a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session at any time before the start time and date of that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session in the following circumstances:
       1. The Pet sitter/Cat Carer allocated by Us to the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session is not available, being a person providing the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session who is: 

Us acting as a self-employed individual; or

an individual engaged by Us with Your approval at the time of booking to provide the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session on Our behalf;

1. where the allocated Pet sitter/Cat Carer is not available and an alternative person is available to provide the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session on our behalf but You do not approve Our proposal to engage that person;
2. an event described in Clause 11 below occurs and continues for more than 2 days; or
3. We find that you are not a “Consumer” (as defined in Clause 1 above).

If We cancel a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session in such circumstances We will refund to You in full the payment that You have made to Us for that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session.

1. We will use all reasonable endeavours to start the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session You have booked at its scheduled start time, but the start may be delayed by overrun of a previous Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session or by other circumstances. If a delay to the start is at least one hour, or, if at any time before We arrive for a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session We notify You that there will be a delay of at least that time, You may cancel the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session and We will refund to You in full the payment that You have made to Us for that Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session
2. Pet Sitting/Cat Care Sessions prices and Pet sitters available to be allocated to Pet Sitting/Cat Care Sessions are subject to change from time to time but We will try to give You as much prior notice as possible of any such changes.
3. We may immediately terminate a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session if: 
   1. anything occurs which amounts to Your material breach of these Terms and Conditions; 
   2. the Pet becomes aggressive or dangerous or otherwise poses a threat to the health or safety of any other animal or of the Pet sitter/Cat Carer or other person;
   3. if when the Pet is a cat, is not kept indoors at Your  Premises (unless a different agreement has been made with You) by the time We arrive and We are not able to provide the Cat Care Session booked;
   4. if when the Pet is a cat, becomes too stressed that is counterproductive for her own welfare to start or continue  the Cat Care Service booked;

You will not be entitled to any refund for a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session started but not completed in such cases. 

1. If You request that Your booking be cancelled, You must confirm this in any way convenient to You. You may use the Model Cancellation Form set out in the Schedule, but You do not have to.

If You cancel as allowed by this sub-clause 3.15, and You have already made any payment(s) to Us for the booking, We will refund the payment(s) to You within 14 days of receiving Your cancellation less the amount due for the Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session(s) covered by that booking that We may have provided.

We will for this purpose provide You with relevant invoices and/or receipts.
   6. Where We properly incur any veterinary fees under Clause 6, You will be responsible for them and will either discharge or reimburse them to Us in full on request. We will for this purpose provide You with relevant invoices and/or receipts.

1. Eligibility to receive a Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session
   1. We only make any Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session available to a “Consumer” (as defined in Clause 1 above). Your completion of a Registration/Booking Form will be deemed to be Your confirmation that You will be a “Consumer” in connection with any request(s) by You to be provided with any Pet Sitting/Cat Care Session.
