Franchisee Referral Fee Terms

These Referral Fee Terms constitute a legal agreement between you, as the user of the Website, or an existing franchisee of Dog First Aid Franchise Ltd and Dog First Aid Franchise Ltd, as the owner of the Website. Throughout these Referral Fee Terms we will refer to you as “you”, and we will refer to Dog First Aid Franchise Ltd as “we”, “us” or “Dog First Aid”.

Application

These Referral Fee Terms set out the terms on which we intend to pay you fees for referring new users to Dog First Aid. They apply to you as soon as you first use the Website, and you are deemed to have agreed to be bound by them upon your first use of the Website. If you do not wish to continue to be bound by these Referral Fee Terms, please stop using the Website now.

Relationship to Other Agreements

In addition to these Referral Fee Terms, our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy apply to you and everyone else who uses the Website. Together, these are the “Website Agreements”.

Structure of Referral Fees

From time to time, we may have in place arrangements by which we pay you referral fees for referring new franchisees to Dog First Aid Franchise Ltd.

Generally, we have one type of referral fee arrangement in place where we pay you £500 upon receipt of your invoice for referral of a new franchisee. In order to claim the referral fee you must provide evidence that you communicated with the new franchisee before we did. The referral fee can only be claimed once the new franchisee has signed the Franchise Agreement. The referral fee must be claimed within 8 weeks of the date the new franchisee signs their Franchise Agreement.

This referral fee is subject to change or to be withdrawn at any time and entirely at our discretion. Such changes may impact the fees payable in respect of referrals you have already made. Any new referral fee system will be described on one or more pages of the Website or in another form of notice to you. All referral fees will be paid gross of any tax you may be required to pay.

Exceptions

Our referral fee system is intended to encourage you to refer genuinely new franchisees to Dog First Aid. We therefore reserve the right to refuse to pay referral fees in respect of an individual or business that is directly connected with you. That may include an immediate family member or a company which you control, but it may also include other circumstances where we believe that payment of referral fees would not be consistent with the purpose of this system. The determination as to whether to refuse to pay referral fees will be made entirely at our discretion.

Severability

We have made every effort to ensure that these Referral Fee Terms adhere strictly with the relevant provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and other applicable laws. However, in the event that any of these provisions are found to be unlawful, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that provision is to be deemed severed from these Referral Fee Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining Referral Fee Terms. This clause on “Severability” shall apply only within jurisdiction where a particular term is illegal.

No Waiver

In the event that either you or we fail to exercise any right or remedy contained in these Referral Fee Terms, that does not mean you or we (as applicable) have waived that right or remedy and so shall not be construed as a waiver.

Revisions

From time to time we may update these Referral Fee Terms if there is a valid reason, for example, to reflect changes in the law or changes to our services. If we update these Referral Fee Terms, we will post a new version on the Website, and as soon as you use the Website after they are posted, you will be deemed to have agreed to the updated version, but you will still be bound by the terms of any previous versions to which you have agreed or been deemed to agree. If there is a conflict between two versions of the Referral Fee Terms to which you have agreed or been deemed to agree, the more recent version shall take precedence unless it is expressly stated otherwise.

Communications

If you wish to communicate with us about anything related to these Referral Fee Terms, you may do so by sending an email to info@dog-first-aid.com.

Choice of Law

These Referral Fee Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Jurisdiction

You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This means that if you want to bring a legal action against us, or we want to bring a legal action against you, it must be done in one of these courts.

Definitions

We have used a few capitalised terms in this agreement, which means that they have specific definitions. In some cases the definition is set out when they are first used, but in a few cases we give the meaning below instead.

Privacy Notice means the privacy notice of the Website, available here; Dog First Aid Franchise Ltd means Dog First Aid Franchise Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under registration number 10709246; Cookie Policy means the cookie policy of the Website, available here; and Website means www.dog-first-aid.com, www.dogfirstaidfranchise.com and any sub-domains of this site unless expressly excluded by their own terms and conditions
