These Terms apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.
2.2    Your Use. Your use of our Website is also governed by the above policies. Please ensure you read these policies before signing your agreement to these Terms, as they include important conditions and terms of business that will apply to you and your dealings with Customers.

2.4    Brexit. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to European Union law that is directly applicable or directly effective in the UK at any time is a reference to it as it applies in England and Wales from time to time including as retained, amended, extended, re-enacted or otherwise given effect on or after 11pm on 31 January 2020.
2.5    Your copy. You should print off a copy of these Terms or save them to your computer for future reference.

We do not operate as your agent and are in no way a party to the Contract formed.

You will, at all times, remain responsible for all representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, given in relation to the Puppies you list.
2.8    Minimum Terms. If you wish to include your own terms of sale in an Advert, you need to clearly add these to each Advert you create. However, such terms cannot be in contradiction to the Terms and these Terms will, at all times, supersede any terms you add to any Advert. Updates. The Terms may be updated from time to time.

  • 8.    Advert Rules

8.1    You agree to follow all Dog breeding legislation and regulations as stipulated by your nation within the UK at all times. 
8.2    PAAG. You also agree to adhere to the Pet Advertising Advisory Group PAAG standards for selling a pet. PAAG is a group comprising of animal welfare organisations, trade associations and veterinary bodies who aim to ensure that all pet animals advertised for sale are done so legally and ethically and have developed a set of Government-backed minimum standards that we suggest you familiarise yourself with before placing an Advert. We are committed to the ethics and values of PAAG and require you to always meet their minimum standards. For more information on PAAG, please visit www.paag.org.uk
8.3    You promise to provide genuine, complete and truthful information in your Advert and to clearly state whether you are using the site as a private individual or Licensed Breeder.
8.4    You must remove or deactivate your Advert once all of the Puppies or Dogs listed in that Advert are sold/reserved. 
8.5    There is no refund available for time remaining on your Advert or any remaining purchased Boosts. 
8.6    Irrespective of the amount of time remaining on your Advert, the Advert can only be used to advertise the Puppies and Dogs submitted during the Advert creation process. You cannot use an existing Advert to advertise any other Puppies and Dogs.
8.7    All breeds and cross breeds must be clearly described. You will be unable to change the breed of the Puppies and Dogs you enter when creating an Advert after that advert is published. However, if you have made a genuine error to the listing details of an Advert, please contact us to get it rectified. 
8.8    Puppies must be at least 8 weeks of age before they leave your care for their forever homes.
8.9    You must be able to show prospective owners the Puppies and/or Dogs you have for sale and be able to show the Puppies with the mother.
8.10    Photography: All photographs must be genuine images of the Puppies or Dogs for sale. Your advert must include a genuine photograph of the puppy’s mother. Only orginial photographs will be acepted. You must not take screenshots from another website.
8.11    All licensed breeders MUST upload their licence before their account will be approved. Any private breeder advertising more that 2 litters per year should be registered as a licensed breeder and we will require a copy of your licence as issued by your local authority. Please be aware that if we suspect you require a licence from your Local Authority, we may decline your advert and report this to the Local Authority. 
8.12    The third party selling of Puppies is forbidden. Any Puppies or Dogs advertised must be owned by you.
8.13    Forbidden breeds. Any breeds currently banned must not be advertised for sale. Similarly, adverts promoting Puppies or Dogs described as ‘designer’ pets will be removed. 

8.14   Forever Puppy does not allow the advertisement of expected litters. This is in accordance with the Pet Advertising Advisory Group’s (PAAG) advertising standards. There are several reasons why advertising animals that have yet to be born should not be permitted:

·       There are concerns that adverts for unborn animals could be used to defraud buyers, who might be encouraged to pay a deposit ahead of the birth, before knowing the outcome of the birth or knowing if the parent animal even exists.

·       There are concerns that adverts for unborn animals may be linked to unregulated Canine Fertility Clinics.

·       Even with prenatal scans, it would not be possible for an advertiser to know how many animals would be available for sale until after birth.

·       The PAAG Advertising Standards state that adverts must include a photograph, the age and sex of the animal for sale which would not be possible if the animal was yet to be born.

8.15    XL Bullies/American Bullies - These will continue to be allowed for sale and rehoming on the site until such time that the proposed ban comes into place.

8.16    The advertising of working Dogs is forbidden on the site. This includes Dogs which have been security or protection trained or whose primary role is for hunting, working or guarding.
8.17    Pets advertised must be located in the UK, and the location stated on your listing is the actual location where the animal is currently and permanently housed. The site will not allow any adverts promoting Puppies or Dogs which have been imported into the UK for the purposes of sale.
8.18    We do not allow adverts promoting Puppies or Dogs with cropped ears. Similarly, we do not allow adverts promoting pregnant bitches, or a bitch you suspect may be pregnant.
8.19    You must not permit a Puppy or Dog to be sold to a Customers under the age of 18.
8.20    We reserve the right to decline any adverts, ban, close or suspend a user's account if we suspect inappropriate behaviour or unethical breeding, which is not limited to these rules. Your Advert will be removed if you breach any of the terms in clauses 7 or 8. If your Advert is removed due to such a breach, you will not be entitled to a refund.
8.21    You further indemnify us against all liabilities, costs, claims, actions, proceedings, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses) suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with any claims related to your breach of these clauses 7 or 8. 
8.22    Please be aware that we reserve the right, in our complete discretion, to decline or remove any advert we deem unsuitable. Your account may also be closed, and you agree that you will not be entitled to a refund or compensation should we choose to cancel an advertisement or your Account, whether with or without reason.

This is in accordance with the Pet Advertising Advisory Group’s (PAAG) advertising standards. There are several reasons why advertising animals that have yet to be born should not be permitted:

·       There are concerns that adverts for unborn animals could be used to defraud buyers, who might be encouraged to pay a deposit ahead of the birth, before knowing the outcome of the birth or knowing if the parent animal even exists. 

·       There are concerns that adverts for unborn animals may be linked to unregulated Canine Fertility Clinics.

·       Even with prenatal scans, it would not be possible for an advertiser to know how many animals would be available for sale until after birth.

·       The PAAG Advertising Standards state that adverts must include a photograph, the age and sex of the animal for sale which would not be possible if the animal was yet to be born.
