TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE FURRYTAIL

Please take a few minutes to read these Terms & Conditions carefully. Your use of our Website, or purchase of Goods from us, constitutes your agreement to these Terms & Conditions. That said, we are a human company and, in the event of any dispute, our first desire is so resolve all matters commercially rather than by relying on all this “legalese”.

a) This clause 2 only applies when you order Goods on our Website.
