OVERVIEW

This website is operated by Stokeshire Designer Doodles (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing our website, placing a deposit, or purchasing a puppy, product, or service, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and all incorporated policies linked herein or available on our website.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our site or services. Continued use of our website or submission of a deposit constitutes your digital acceptance of these Terms and all referenced policies. This agreement is binding under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and Wisconsin Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).

LEGAL AGE & AUTHORITY

By proceeding, you confirm that:

• You are at least the age of majority in your state or province,

• You are legally competent to enter into a binding contract,

• All information you provide is accurate and complete.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason, including if a family is determined not to be a suitable fit for a puppy in our program.

PRODUCTS, SERVICES & EXPECTATIONS

We offer puppies and related services (including Doodle School, transport, and training) based on availability. While we strive to meet preferences, we do not guarantee:

• Specific size, coat type, color, or markings

• Temperament or compatibility outcomes

• Pickup timelines or maturity readiness

All puppy descriptions, timelines, and projected traits are estimates and subject to natural variation.

We may limit or decline sales based on geography, household fit, or breeder discretion.

PAYMENTS, DEPOSITS & FEES

• Deposits are $500 + tax and non-refundable after breeding (as defined by confirmed live cover or artificial insemination documented by our veterinary or breeder records).

• If a deposit is placed after a litter has been born, it is immediately non-refundable.

• Sales tax is non-refundable, as it is remitted directly to the State of Wisconsin.

• The remaining puppy balance must be paid at least 72 hours prior to your go-home date. Failure to pay on time may result in forfeiture of your deposit and placement.

Processing Fees: All credit/debit card payments include a standard processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30.

You agree not to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute in contradiction of these terms. All refund eligibility is governed by our Reservation & Refund Policy.

We retain Breeder’s Choice, meaning we may hold back any puppy for:

Stokeshire reserves the right to skip, delay, or reassign a family’s selection if:

• They are unresponsive

• They miss deadlines

• They are deemed unsuitable for the available puppy

NO GUARANTEES ON TRAITS

While we use ethical, intentional breeding practices, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes related to:

• Size

• Temperament

• Shedding or allergen tolerance

By placing a deposit, you acknowledge and accept these natural variations.
