Care Standards and Welfare Priority
1.2 We will take reasonable care in the handling and supervision of dogs while they are in our care. Dogs remain animals with inherent unpredictability, and no outcome can be guaranteed. We reserve the right to refuse participation on any day, modify Services without notice, end a dog's activity early, cancel participation entirely, remove a dog from group activities, or isolate or crate a dog where we reasonably believe welfare or safety may be compromised. Safety decisions override scheduling, capacity, revenue, or refund considerations.
2. Booking Process and Acceptance
2.1 All assessment requests, Bookings and service requests must be made through our online platform using the relevant online form, assessment request form, Booking Form or client portal. You must provide complete and accurate information about your dog(s), including health status, vaccination records, behavioural characteristics, handling needs, reactivity, aggression history, bite history, medical conditions and any other information that may affect the safety or suitability of the Services.
2.2 All cancellations are subject to our Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms and is set out in Annexure A.
2.3 Submitting a Booking request does not guarantee acceptance of your Booking. All Services are subject to our acceptance following a mandatory meet and greet session.
2.4 Submitting an assessment request does not guarantee acceptance into RoamDog. We may require an assessment, meet and greet, trial adventure, temperament review, compatibility review or any other onboarding step we consider reasonably necessary before accepting your dog for Services. If your dog is approved, we may offer a confirmed place, place your dog on a suitable waitlist, or decline to offer Services if no suitable place is available.
2.5 RoamDog is a membership-based service. A membership or recurring service arrangement will not commence, and the monthly membership fee will not be charged, unless your dog is approved, you accept a confirmed place, and we activate the membership or recurring service arrangement.
2.6 Unless otherwise stated in the Booking Form or agreed with you in writing, the RoamDog weekly membership is $539 per month per dog and includes 4 adventure credits per billing cycle. Adventure credits are subject to availability, suitability, safety, weather, cancellation and service terms set out in these Terms.
2.7 If your dog is approved and you later choose not to proceed, decline a confirmed place, do not respond to a confirmed place offer within the timeframe we specify, or withdraw after we have completed assessment, onboarding, administration or scheduling work, we may charge a $79 assessment and onboarding recovery fee. This fee is intended to recover part of our reasonable assessment, onboarding, administrative and lost-opportunity costs.
2.8 We reserve the right in our sole discretion to accept or reject any dog without limitation. We may require proof of vaccination and reserve the right to refuse services for dogs that are sick, unvaccinated, unsuitable for our care in our sole discretion, or deemed dangerous during our assessment.
2.9 By making a Booking, you represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge that your dog:
(a) has no history of aggression, threatening behaviour, or uncontrolled reactivity towards people, dogs, or animals;
(b) has never bitten, attempted to bite, or caused injury to a person or animal;
(c) is suitable for group environments, including transport with other dogs;
(d) tolerates handling, restraint, and crating;
(e) is in good health and fit for physical activity;
(f) is appropriately vaccinated in accordance with veterinary advice;
(g) is free from infectious or contagious disease, parasites, or open wounds; and
(h) does not suffer from any condition that would materially increase risk during transport or group activity (including heat sensitivity, respiratory, cardiac, neurological, or mobility conditions).
2.10 You acknowledge and accept that:
(a) dogs are unpredictable animals and their behaviour cannot be guaranteed;
(b) group activities and transport involve inherent risks including possibility of injury;
(c) play-related injuries may occur despite our reasonable care; and
(d) outdoor activities involve environmental risks beyond our control,
this does not limit your Consumer Law Rights or our liability for negligence.
2.11 Where injury occurs between dogs during group activity and we have exercised reasonable care and supervision, each owner bears their own veterinary costs unless the injury arose due to a breach of clause 2.9 by that owner.

If we consider that any instructions or directions from you constitute a variation to the scope of the Services or our obligations under these Terms, then we will not be obliged to comply with such instructions or directions unless agreed in accordance with this clause.
3.4 Notwithstanding clause 3.3, you agree that we may vary the Services or the Price at any time, by providing 30 days’ written notice to you (Variation Notice Period). If you do not agree to any amendment made to the Services or Price, you may, before the end of the Variation Notice Period, terminate these Terms by giving us 10 days’ notice in writing, in which case, the proposed variation will not come into effect and clause 12.3 will apply.
Optional Add-On Services

1. We may cancel Services if:
a) we determine during the suitability assessment that we cannot safely provide Services;
b) you fail to provide accurate information about your dog's health or behaviour;
c) the Site is deemed unsafe for our staff;
d) your dog displays aggressive, dangerous, or unsuitable behaviour not previously disclosed;
e) your dog is unwell, unvaccinated, or requires veterinary attention; or
f) extreme or unsafe weather conditions exist, particularly elevated temperatures, humidity, or heat index.
2. Where we cancel due to safety concerns or client misrepresentation, no refund will be provided.
3. Where we cancel for reasons within our control (other than weather or safety-related cancellations), a full refund will be provided.
Weather-Based Cancellations
1. If we cancel a Service due to temperature or weather risk, you will be notified as soon as reasonably practicable. We may, at our discretion, offer a credit for a future service or reschedule where feasible. Refunds are not guaranteed.
2. We may cancel participation for individual dogs (including brachycephalic breeds, senior dogs, or dogs with health conditions) even when Services proceed for others, acting reasonably in the dog's best interests.
Temperature guideline only (not a guarantee):
≤28°C: Services proceed as normal, subject to individual dog suitability;
29°C–34°C: Services may proceed with modifications;
≥35°C (or lower where conditions elevate risk): Full adventure services will not be conducted and may be cancelled.
3. We reserve discretion to cancel Services outside these thresholds where conditions reasonably warrant such action.
Emergency Cancellations and Access Failure
1. Genuine emergencies (medical, family, or weather-related on your part) will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Refunds for emergency cancellations are at our discretion.
2. If we arrive for scheduled Services and cannot gain access due to your failure to provide proper access arrangements, the Service will be cancelled and no refund will be provided.
