Terms of service

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Sleeping Doggy website and any purchases you make from us. By using our website or placing an order, you agree to these terms.

Throughout these terms, "Sleeping Doggy", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Sleeping Doggy.

1. About Us

Sleeping Doggy is an online retailer based in the United Kingdom.

Sleeping Doggy is operated by Geoff Jackson, trading as Sleeping Doggy.

You can contact us at:

Email: hello@sleepingdoggy.com
Business address: 11 Winstanley Walk, Plymouth, PL3 6PA

2. Our Online Store

Our website is hosted by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to offer our products and services to you.

You must use our website only for lawful purposes and must not attempt to interfere with its operation, security or availability.

3. Products

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, images, prices and other information displayed on our website are accurate.

Colours and appearance may vary slightly depending on your device and display settings.

Product availability may change without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue products or limit their availability where reasonably necessary.

Some products sold by Sleeping Doggy are supplied and fulfilled on our behalf by selected third-party suppliers. Your purchase remains a transaction with Sleeping Doggy, and you should contact us regarding your order rather than contacting a supplier directly unless we specifically instruct you otherwise.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights in relation to goods that are faulty, damaged, not as described or otherwise do not conform to your legal rights.

4. Orders

When you place an order through our website, you are making an offer to purchase the products in your order.

After placing your order, you will receive an acknowledgement by email. This acknowledgement does not necessarily mean that your order has been accepted.

A contract between you and Sleeping Doggy is formed when we confirm acceptance of your order.

We may refuse or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including where:

  • a product is unavailable;

  • there is an obvious pricing or product-information error;

  • payment cannot be authorised;

  • we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse; or

  • we are unable to fulfil the order.

If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will refund the appropriate amount.

5. Prices and Payment

Prices displayed on our website are shown in the applicable currency and include applicable UK taxes where required, unless stated otherwise.

Any delivery charges will be displayed before you complete your purchase.

We may change our prices at any time, but changes will not affect orders that we have already accepted.

Payment must be made using one of the payment methods available at checkout.

6. Delivery

Available delivery methods, estimated delivery times and any applicable delivery charges will be shown on our website or during checkout.

Delivery times are estimates unless we expressly agree otherwise.

We are not responsible for delays caused by events genuinely outside our reasonable control. If a significant delay occurs, we will provide you with the rights and remedies required by applicable consumer law.

Where products are fulfilled by different suppliers, items from the same order may occasionally arrive in separate deliveries.

Please see our Shipping Policy for further information.

7. Returns, Cancellations and Refunds

Your rights to cancel an online order and to return products are described in our Return & Refund Policy.

Our voluntary returns policy operates in addition to, and does not limit, your statutory consumer rights.

Please contact hello@sleepingdoggy.com before returning a product so that we can provide the appropriate return instructions.

Because some products are fulfilled by different suppliers, the appropriate return destination may vary between products. Do not return products directly to a supplier or to an address shown on the original parcel unless we instruct you to do so.

8. Faulty or Misdescribed Products

Products supplied by us must meet the standards required by applicable UK consumer law.

If a product is faulty, damaged, not as described or otherwise does not meet the standards required by law, please contact us at hello@sleepingdoggy.com.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any statutory rights or remedies that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including its branding, text, graphics, design and other original material, belongs to Sleeping Doggy or is used by us with permission from the relevant rights holder.

Product images, descriptions, trademarks and other materials may also belong to our suppliers, Shopify or other third parties.

You may use our website for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit protected content without permission from the relevant rights holder.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to, or functionality provided by, third parties.

We are not responsible for third-party websites that we do not operate. Your use of those websites may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Shopify

Sleeping Doggy's online store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify provides the ecommerce technology used to operate our store, but purchases made through this website are made from Sleeping Doggy rather than Shopify.

Questions concerning products, orders, deliveries, returns or refunds should therefore be directed to Sleeping Doggy.

12. Privacy

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Shopify and other service providers may also process personal information where necessary to provide the technology, payment, fulfilment and other services used to operate our store.

Please read our Privacy Policy for further information.

13. Reviews and User Content

If you submit a review, photograph, comment or other content to us, you confirm that you have the right to submit that content and that it does not infringe the rights of another person.

You must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, abusive, misleading or malicious.

Where you submit content for publication, you grant us permission to display and use that content in connection with Sleeping Doggy and our products, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

14. Website Availability and Errors

We make reasonable efforts to keep our website available and accurate, but we cannot guarantee that it will always operate without interruption or contain no errors.

We may correct typographical errors, inaccurate information or omissions relating to products, pricing, availability, promotions or delivery information.

Nothing in this section affects a contract that has already been formed with you except where permitted by law.

15. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

In particular, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or your statutory consumer rights.

If you are a consumer, we are responsible for losses that are a foreseeable consequence of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.

We are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was formed or for business losses suffered where you are purchasing products wholly or mainly for personal use.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to our services, business practices or applicable law.

The Terms that apply to your purchase will be those in effect when the relevant contract between you and Sleeping Doggy is formed.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you will also retain the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you in your place of residence.

Nothing in these Terms affects any rights you may have to bring proceedings in a court that has jurisdiction under applicable law.
