Stokeshire Invoice Policy

Effective Date: July 2025

1. Scope of Invoices

This policy applies to all invoices issued by Stokeshire Designer Doodles for:

  • Doodle School & Bootcamp training programs

  • Ground transport and flight nanny services

  • Boarding and extended care

  • Add-ons, customizations, and delayed pickup

2. Payment Terms

  • All invoices are due upon receipt

  • Training and transport invoices must be paid prior to service delivery or puppy release, whichever comes first.

3. Late Payments & Penalties

  • Payments received 8–14 days late incur a $50 late fee.

  • Payments received 15+ days late incur a $150 late fee and may be sent to collections.

  • If an invoice remains unpaid after 30 days, we reserve the right to:

    • Suspend or terminate services immediately

    • Initiate small claims proceedings

    • Non-Payment Disclosure Clause
      In the event of invoice delinquency exceeding 30 days, the Buyer agrees that Stokeshire may report the non-payment to relevant industry blacklists, breeder networks, Better Business Bureau, and credit reporting agencies via collections. Buyer assumes full responsibility for any reputational or credit impact resulting from such actions.

4. Pre-Service Payment Policy

For all training or transport services:

No puppy will leave our care for delivery, boarding, or Doodle School unless the corresponding invoice is paid in full.

If a puppy is already in training or has been delivered without full payment due to special circumstances, full payment must be received within 72 hours to avoid legal action.

5. Collections & Legal Recourse

Unpaid balances are subject to collection action and legal enforcement under Wisconsin state law, with jurisdiction in Taylor County.

The Buyer agrees to pay all reasonable legal fees, collection agency fees, and court costs incurred in pursuing payment.
