Terms and Conditions | Mobile Pets Crematory

Dear Customer,

We advise you (the client) to read the following terms and condition carefully. If you (the client) agree with the following Terms and conditions, please tick the box on the order form which states “I have read and understood the Terms and Conditions for the service”.

Updates and changes to your order: If the client requests a change to their order, the latest point they can do so is when the driver is present as any changes to the service may not be able to be processed past that point. To elaborate, we cannot make paw imprints the next day as your pet will be cremated that day and we do not have the tools to do so at the crematorium.

The driver’s rights: Our driver, hired, trained and licensed by Hand Memory LTD, has the right to weigh the client’s pet upon arrival, if the driver feels that the client’s pet belongs in a different weight category to the one stated on the client’s order form or mentioned to a member of customer service. After the weighing, if the client’s pet does fall in a higher weight category the extra charges will have to be paid there and then. This can be done via cash or bank transfer.

Communications Policy: The driver will send the client a SMS which states an “ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL” which can be affected by such factors as traffic, time of day or unforeseen issues with the company vehicle. If the client does not reply within 15 minutes of the driver sending the SMS and does not answer the phone call from customer service, then the client’s collection time will be delayed, and the driver has the rights to proceed with the following collection and come back to the current one once a confirmation is received.

Collection Terms: This section highlights Hand Memory LTD’s right to refuse the collection of pet toys, beds, blankets and towels. The driver has every right to refuse to take blanket or towel that the client’s pet has been wrapped in. As Hand Memory LTD is a small company, we do not have the means to discard of these materials and they will be handed back to the client by the driver after the client’s pet has been placed in one of our sanitised containers.

Cancellation Terms: The client has the right to cancel the service given that they adhere to the following terms. The client can cancel the service up until 20:00 hours of the collection day. If our driver is already on the way to handle the client’s collection, the client will have to pay the collection fee of £60. If the client’s pet has already been collected by our driver and the client cancels the service, the client will have to pay the collection fee of £60 and the personal delivery charge of £40, failure to follow these terms will result in the case being handed over to a licensed debt collector. If the client cancels the service before confirming the time of collection with the driver, a full refund will be issued if the client paid in advance. Hand Memory LTD has the right to cancel the collection if the client is out of our service area, in which case a full refund will be issued if the client paid in advance.

Payment Terms: The client must pay the full-service fee by the time of the collection. Payment can be made via, PayPal, Bank transfer, Stripe payment or cash to our driver on arrival. The full amount of the service charge is not negotiable. A failure to pay your service fee will result in the return of your pet’s body to your home address and as mentioned in the “Cancellation Terms” the collection and delivery fee will have to be paid, if the client cannot pay these fees the case will be handed over to a licensed debt collector.

Pre-agreed collections: If the client has asked for a specific time and day for the collection to happen, for example, when the client booked in a vet to attend their home for euthanasia and the vet is delayed or has cancelled the appointment, it is the client’s responsibility to notify Hand Memory LTD of the changes. Failure in notifying the driver or customer services about the delay or cancellation which results in the driver having to wait at the given address a fee of £70 per hour is charged. A failure to comply to these terms will result in the outstanding fee’s collection to be handed over to a licensed debt collector.

Postage and Delivery Policy: If the client paid for “UK mail delivery” the following terms apply. Turn around time for UK Mail delivery is 5-10 business days, where business days are counted from Monday to Friday. UK mail delivery is handled by Royal Mail using their 1st class signed for which includes tracking at 2 stages of the service. Point one being the initial registration and acceptance of the package by Royal Mail and point two being the scan upon delivery to your address. Hand Memory LTD does NOT take responsibility for you package after being handed over to Royal Mail and a refund is not applicable by Hand Memory LTD if the package is lost in the hands of Royal Mail. If requested by the client and the extra fees associated with the request is paid by the client, Hand Memory LTD can ask for Royal Mail to instate their package insurance service.

If the client requests the “Personal Delivery” option either through phone call or through the website, the following terms apply. Personal Delivery must be handled by a Hand Memory LTD employee, this can include the driver or the customer service advisor. The turn around time for the personal delivery option is a fortnight. To elaborate, deliveries are handled by Hand Memory LTD staff every second weekend of the current calendar month.

Lost/Damaged Personalized items: If the client states that a non-replaceable extra item is missing from their order, e.g., a paw imprint then the client is entitled for the refund of the price of that item. If the client reports and sends photo evidence of a damaged urn or box, they will get a replacement urn with all the customizations requested. The replacement will be sent through Royal Mail at the time of the next posting date and the client will be notified of it via SMS.

Data Handling Policy: Hand Memory LTD does not share client’s personal information. In the event that the client requires customer services to arrange a collection from a veterinary clinic the only information presented to the clinic would be their full name, postcode and pet’s name. Furthermore, Hand Memory LTD does not store customer’s data past 3 months, all client information is deleted past 3 months including full name, address, phone number, pet’s name and any card information.

A.P.H.A Approved Procedure Run Through:

This section is to be read by the client to inform them about our procedure which has been approved by the Animal Plant Health Agency.

The procedure starts off with a client that has ordered the service either through the online order form on the website or through calling the customer service number. Once an order has been put through by the client, the driver will send them a SMS which contains a brief introduction and an “ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL”. When the client confirms that they are happy with the ETA, the driver will start heading over to the provided address.

When the driver arrives at the client’s address he will hand a form over to the client, on which the client must fill out their full name, phone number and the address they would like the ashes to be returned to. While the client is filling out the form, the driver will place their pet into one of our discreet, reusable and regularly sanitized containers. Once the client’s pet has been placed into our container the driver will load the container into the company car.

Following the day from the client’s requested day of collection, their pet will be cremated at Hand Memory LTD’s own crematorium located in Horsham. If an issue arises with the licensed incinerator the client will be notified about the delay and in the meantime their pet would be placed in our freezer unit located at the crematorium. The incinerator used on site is a “Vulkan 400” licensed, maintenance and made by Waste Spectrum. After the cremation process, as the remains are currently in a bone form, they are crushed and refined to make fine ashes. Once the ashes have been refined, the ashes are packaged and sent out or delivered to the client following the terms set out above.
