OUR TERMS & CONDITIONS

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to washdoctors.co.uk website and our applications (each our “Service”). This page tells you the terms and conditions on which the valeters (the “Valeter” or “Valeters”) supply a valet (the “Valet”)  and therefore fulfil your order (the “Order” or “Booking”) within certain areas (“Valeter Areas”. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before placing an Order for a Valet. By accessing our site and placing an Order you agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions and our terms of use policy.

 

If you have any questions relating to these terms and conditions please contact info@washdoctors.co.uk before you place an Order. If you do not accept these terms and conditions in full please do not use our service.

 

1) Information About Us: WASHDOCTORS LTD (“we” or “us” or “Wash Doctors” or “Company”) is a company registered in England and Wales with registered company number 10428051 with the VAT number 298813840. The registered office is at Whitchurch Business Centre Corser House, Green End, Shropshire, SY13 1AD. Any dealing with Wash Doctors will be through our customer support team (“Customer Support”) with the details for this found at the bottom of this page.

 

2) Purpose: The purpose of our Service is to provide a simple and convenient service to you, linking you to the Valeters to display the Valets they provide and allowing you to Order from them. Wash Doctors acts as an agent on behalf of the Valeters when it presents a particular Valet to you and concludes any Order you make. Once you have placed an Order, your Valet will be provided to you by a Valeter.

 

The Company does not provide a car valet and the Company is not a car valeter. It is up to the 3rd party Valeters to offer a Valet which may be scheduled through the use of our Services. The Company offers information and a method to obtain such a 3rd party valet, but does not provide a valet or act in any way as a valet provider, and has no responsibility or liability for any Valet provided to you by 3rd party Valeters. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more Valeters, you release Wash Doctors (and our officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, and employees) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

 

Your use of our Services constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions in these Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy and your representation that you are at least 18 years of age and are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure the Valeter completes the Valet by the time specified in our Services. The timing of your Order is determined by taking into account the number of Orders and the circumstances being faced by the Valeters at that time.
