Hidden Valley Cavoodles reserves the right to:

  • Hold viewings from 8 weeks only

​

For Interstate Travel

​

In the event of interstate travel requirements are as follows:

​

Hidden Valley Cavoodles releases 100% responsibility of the welfare of animal to Purchaser. A fit to fly/travel certificate, signed by a qualified BVSc certifies that upon leaving us, the condition of the puppy is in good health. It is therefore at the risk of the Purchaser that the puppy mixes with other animals without having had all appropriate vaccinations. This includes injury in transit.

 

The 3 day 50% refund is obsolete in the case of courier and flight services. If Purchaser changes their mind they may return the puppy at their own expense,  with the provision of a new fit to fly certificate by a registered BVSc.  A refund of 50% will be provided upon the puppy returning to Hidden Valley Cavoodles along with the puppy pack and after a 10 day quarantine holding to ensure puppy is free of illness from courier and airline services.

​

All payment, including courier costs (if arranged and booked by Hidden Valley Cavoodles) is to be cleared before the puppy leaves Hidden Valley Cavoodles premises.

​

The Purchaser will receive relevant paperwork for their puppy in the mail on receipt of payment. 

By placing a reservation deposit, purchaser is agreeing to these terms and conditions
