Terms and Conditions

This document outlines the terms and conditions ("Terms") governing the use of the services ("Services") offered by Furry Pets Relocation Services LLC ("Furry Travel", "We", "Us", "Our"), operating as Furry Travel, a company located at Floor 16, Park Place Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, UAE.

By using Our Services, you ("the Customer", "You", "Your") agree to be bound by these Terms, constituting a binding agreement ("Agreement").

1. Services

1.1. Pet Taxi Service: We offer pet transport services within the United Arab Emirates. The specifics of these services, including but not limited to time, date, pick-up/drop-off location, will be arranged on a case-by-case basis between Furry Travel and the Customer.

1.2. Pet Relocation Service: We assist with the international relocation of pets. This includes arranging travel, handling required documents for export and import, and ensuring the pet's safe and comfortable journey. Each relocation service is unique and depends on various factors, such as the destination, airline policies, and the specific needs of your pets.

1.3. All delivery dates and times are approximate and not guaranteed. Due to many variables associated with providing our Services, all completion or delivery dates and times stated by us are estimates made in good faith. We are not responsible for any loss or damages resulting from any delays in delivery of our Services.

2. Pricing

2.1. Transparency is important to us. The costs for pet travel and relocation are often higher than human travel. We strive to provide clear explanations about the costs associated with our Services. Our pricing policy ensures customers are charged the original cost of the services. Our profit is derived solely from the service fees. As an example, our import service fees cover a comprehensive suite of tasks. This includes coordinating with the customer, their veterinarian, and the exporting agent to ensure all documentation adheres to the import regulations and laws of the destination country. Moreover, our service fees also include the procurement of your pet's import permit and comprehensive customs clearance procedures. However, please note, the service fee does not encompass home delivery of your pet, the cost of the import permit, in-cabin import arrivals, pet release fee, airline documentation, or any other variable costs that may be incurred through third-party involvement.

2.2. We reserve the right to charge additional fees if there are price changes from governments, airlines, or any other third parties, with or without notice.

2.3. Any quotation provided by us is based on the information you have given us. If it turns out that you provided incorrect information, you will be responsible for any additional fees we have incurred on the back of this incorrect information.

3. Requirements

3.1. Airlines & Destination: Please ensure that you read and understand the Pet Policy of your airline before confirming your booking with us. We are not responsible for issues arising from airlines not accepting your pet at check-in, flight cancellations, aircraft changes, or problems at transit airports. We are also not responsible if the pet is rejected at the destination airport. Please be advised that airline and country-specific requirements are subject to change without prior notice.

3.2. Crate: You are responsible for providing the correct measurements of your pets so that we can select the right travel crate. If you prefer to use your own travel crate, please inform us in advance with a picture, the brand name, model, and dimensions of the crate so we can verify that it complies with airline requirements.

3.3. Vaccinations: All pets utilising our services must meet the vaccination requirements stipulated by the local regulations. Owners are required to provide proof of up-to-date vaccinations in accordance with these regulations before any transportation or relocation services can be provided. We reserve the right to refuse service to any pets that do not meet these criteria. Please consult with your local veterinary practice if you have any questions or concerns about these requirements.

5.1.2.1. Please note, if a cancellation occurs within 48 hours of the scheduled departure, no refund will be issued.

Otherwise, a new permit application will be required. This does not include the cost of any health certificates or related documents required at the destination.

5.1.2.3. In all instances mentioned above, any bank or payment processing fees incurred during the initial payment will be deducted from any refunds. Additionally, any bank charges related to issuing the refund to the customer will also be deducted.
