KITCATS Terms of Service
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Overview
Welcome to KITCATS.
These Terms of Service govern your use of the KITCATS website and online store, including all related information, content, features, products and services (collectively, the "Services").
KITCATS is a trading name of HUNT COMMERCE LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17109758. Our online store is powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to sell our products.
Throughout these Terms, "KITCATS", "we", "us" and "our" refer to the KITCATS trading name of HUNT COMMERCE LTD.
Please read these Terms carefully before using our website or placing an order. By accessing our website or using our Services, you agree to these Terms, subject to your statutory rights under applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.
1. Access and Accounts
You may browse our website without creating an account. Certain features or purchases may require you to provide information such as your name, email address, billing address, delivery address and payment details.
You agree that any information you provide is accurate, current and complete, and that you will update it when necessary.
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity carried out through your account. Please contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
You must not use our Services for unlawful purposes or attempt to interfere with the security or proper functioning of our website.
2. Our Products
KITCATS offers cat products, accessories, furniture and related items selected for cats and their owners.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, images, specifications and prices are accurate. However, colours and appearances may vary slightly depending on your screen, device settings and lighting conditions.
Product images are intended to illustrate the products offered. Please review the written description, dimensions, materials, specifications and any product-specific instructions before purchasing.
Product availability may change, and we may discontinue products or update listings where necessary. We will not use these rights to remove any rights you have under a contract already formed or under applicable law.
Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights if a product is faulty, not as described or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of applicable law.
3. Orders and Acceptance
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products at the prices and on the terms displayed at checkout.
After you submit an order, we may send an order acknowledgement confirming that we have received it. An acknowledgement does not necessarily mean that your order has been accepted.
We will communicate acceptance or any cancellation in accordance with our order process. If we cannot fulfil an order, we will contact you and refund any payment taken for products we cannot supply, as required by law.
Please review your order carefully before completing checkout. If you need to change or cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible at meow@kitcats.co.uk. We will explain whether the change can be accommodated.
Your statutory cancellation rights remain unaffected by this process.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders where permitted by law, including where there is a genuine pricing error, suspected fraudulent activity, an availability issue or an inability to fulfil the order.
4. Prices and Payment
All prices and applicable delivery charges will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.
Unless otherwise stated, prices are shown in pounds sterling (£). Any applicable taxes and delivery charges will be presented in accordance with applicable law.
We may change product prices, promotions and discounts from time to time. Changes will not affect an order that has already been accepted, except where a correction or other action is permitted by law.
By placing an order, you confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.
Payments are processed through the payment providers available at checkout. We do not intend to store full payment card details ourselves where these are handled by our payment providers.
If a pricing or listing error is identified, we will take reasonable steps to contact you and resolve the issue in accordance with applicable law.
5. Shipping and Delivery
We aim to process and deliver orders within the delivery estimates displayed on our website or communicated to you at checkout.
KITCATS may use third-party suppliers, fulfilment partners and delivery companies to dispatch products directly to customers. As a result, products may be shipped from different fulfilment locations and may arrive separately.
Delivery estimates are provided in good faith but are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed or required by law.
If a delivery is delayed, please contact us at meow@kitcats.co.uk with your order number so that we can investigate.
We remain responsible to you for fulfilling your order in accordance with your contract and applicable consumer law, even where a third-party supplier or delivery company is involved.
Unless you have agreed otherwise, goods remain at our risk until they come into your physical possession or the possession of a person you have identified to receive them, in accordance with applicable law.
For further information, please consult our Shipping Policy.
6. Returns, Refunds and Cancellations
We want you to be satisfied with your purchase.
Our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy explains how to request a return, cancel an eligible order, report a faulty or damaged product and obtain a refund.
Consumers purchasing online may have statutory cancellation rights, including a general 14-day cancellation period for eligible goods, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
These rights are separate from your rights when goods are faulty, not as described or otherwise do not conform to the contract.
Please review our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations Policy for further information.
Nothing in these Terms or our returns policy limits any rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.
7. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the KITCATS name, logo, branding, original website content, text, graphics and other original materials used on our website are owned by or lawfully licensed to HUNT COMMERCE LTD or the relevant rights holder.
Our products, product images and product descriptions may also incorporate intellectual property belonging to manufacturers, suppliers or other third parties.
All intellectual property rights remain with their respective owners.
You may access and use our website for personal, non-commercial shopping purposes. You must not reproduce, copy, distribute, modify or commercially exploit our website content or branding without the relevant rights holder's prior written permission, except where permitted by law.
The purchase of a product does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights in that product, its design, software or underlying technology.
The KITCATS name and branding must not be used in a way that suggests an unauthorised association with our business.
8. Optional Tools and Features
Our website may include tools, features or services provided by third parties.
These tools may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies. Where we provide access to third-party tools, we do so in accordance with the arrangements applicable to those services.
We may add, change or remove optional features as our website develops. Any changes will not affect rights that have already accrued to you under applicable law.
9. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services or platforms.
These links are provided for convenience or information. We do not control all third-party websites and are not responsible for their independent content, security or privacy practices.
You should review the relevant third party's terms and privacy policy before using its services or providing personal information.
This section does not limit any responsibility we may have under applicable law for information or services we provide ourselves.
10. Relationship with Shopify
Our online store is hosted on Shopify's ecommerce platform.
Shopify provides technology and services that allow us to display products, accept orders and operate our online store. However, purchases made through KITCATS are sales between you and HUNT COMMERCE LTD trading as KITCATS.
Shopify is not the seller of the products offered through our store and is not responsible for fulfilling our sales obligations to you, except to the extent that applicable law provides otherwise.
Your rights and obligations in relation to purchases are governed by your contract with KITCATS and applicable law.
11. Privacy and Personal Information
We collect and process personal information in connection with operating our website, processing orders, arranging deliveries, responding to enquiries and improving our Services.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it and how you can exercise your privacy rights.
As our store is powered by Shopify, information about your interactions with the website may also be processed by Shopify and relevant service providers.
We may use third-party analytics and advertising services, including Google advertising services where enabled, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable consent requirements.
Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Privacy Policy and through our cookie-consent tools, where available.
Please read our Privacy Policy for further information.
12. Feedback and Reviews
If you submit a product review, suggestion, comment or other feedback, you confirm that you have the right to provide it and that it is not unlawful, misleading or in breach of another person's rights.
You retain ownership of your feedback. By submitting it, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, display and publish it for purposes connected with operating, improving and promoting KITCATS, subject to applicable law.
We may moderate or remove feedback that is unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate.
We will not require you to provide a positive review as a condition of receiving a benefit, and we will not knowingly present reviews in a misleading way.
You remain responsible for the content of your submissions.
13. Errors, Inaccuracies and Omissions
Occasionally, website content may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions relating to product descriptions, prices, promotions, delivery charges, availability or estimated delivery times.
We may correct errors and update information where appropriate.
If an error affects an order you have placed, we will take reasonable steps to contact you and resolve the issue in accordance with applicable law. Where an order must be cancelled and a refund is due, we will arrange that refund as required by law.
We will not rely on this section to avoid obligations arising from an accepted order or your statutory consumer rights.
14. Prohibited Uses
You may use our Services only for lawful purposes.
You must not:
-
Use our website in breach of applicable laws or regulations.
-
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or another person's account.
-
Introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful technology.
-
Interfere with the security, operation or availability of our website.
-
Use our Services to distribute fraudulent, misleading, threatening or unlawful material.
-
Infringe our intellectual property rights or those of another person.
-
Collect personal information about other users without a lawful basis.
-
Send spam or unauthorised promotional communications through our Services.
-
Use automated systems to scrape, extract or copy website content in breach of applicable law or our reasonable access restrictions.
-
Misrepresent your identity or attempt to defraud us or other users.
We may suspend access or take other appropriate action if we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, subject to applicable law.
15. Automated Access and Agents
Automated tools, bots, agents or scripts must not be used to access or interact with our Services in a way that bypasses security measures, overloads our systems, collects personal information unlawfully or infringes the rights of KITCATS or third parties.
Legitimate uses of automated technology, including accessibility tools, search engine indexing and other lawful activities, are not prohibited merely because they are automated.
We may introduce reasonable technical measures to protect the availability, security and integrity of our website.
16. Suspension and Termination
We may restrict or suspend access to our website where reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, suspected fraud, unlawful activity or a serious breach of these Terms.
Where appropriate and reasonably practicable, we will explain the reason for any restriction.
Suspension or termination of website access does not remove any rights or obligations arising from an existing order, including rights to refunds, remedies or other protections under applicable law.
Any provisions that by their nature should continue after termination will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.
17. Disclaimer of Warranties
We make reasonable efforts to keep our website accurate, secure and available. However, we cannot guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free or available at every moment.
Our website and its content are provided for general information and shopping purposes. Product-specific descriptions and specifications should be reviewed before purchase.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits statutory rights or guarantees that apply to goods supplied to consumers.
In particular, nothing in these Terms excludes any rights relating to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, conformity with description or other mandatory consumer protections.
18. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.
Subject to the above, we are responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to exercise reasonable care and skill, in accordance with applicable law.
We are not responsible for losses that are not reasonably foreseeable, or for losses arising from circumstances outside our reasonable control, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
Nothing in this section affects your statutory consumer rights or our legal responsibility for the products we sell.
19. Indemnification
If you use our Services in an unlawful way or breach these Terms and this causes us to suffer a loss for which you are legally responsible, we may seek recovery of that loss to the extent permitted by law.
Nothing in this section requires you to indemnify us for losses arising from our own breach of contract, negligence or other liability where such recovery would be unlawful.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Any invalid provision will be interpreted or adjusted only to the extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable, where possible.
Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot legally be waived.
21. Waiver and Entire Agreement
A failure or delay by us in exercising a right under these Terms does not mean that we have waived that right.
These Terms, together with the policies expressly incorporated into them and any applicable order terms, form the agreement governing your use of our Services and purchases from KITCATS.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and a mandatory consumer protection law, the law will prevail.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and a product-specific or promotional offer, the applicable offer terms will apply to the extent stated in that offer and permitted by law.
22. Assignment
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to another person without our prior written agreement, except where permitted by law.
We may transfer our rights and obligations in connection with a business reorganisation, sale or transfer of the business, provided that doing so does not unlawfully affect your rights.
23. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you are a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of any mandatory rights or protections available under the laws that apply to you, or prevents you from bringing proceedings in a court where you are legally entitled to do so.
24. Language
These Terms are written in English.
If we make translations available, they are provided for convenience. In the event of a discrepancy, the English version will apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection legislation.
25. Headings
The headings in these Terms are included for convenience and do not affect the interpretation of the provisions.
26. Electronic Communications
By using our Services or placing an order, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically where permitted by law.
This may include order confirmations, delivery updates, account notifications, policy updates and other service-related communications sent by email or displayed on our website.
You are responsible for providing accurate contact information and keeping it up to date.
Marketing communications will be handled in accordance with applicable marketing and privacy laws. You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link provided.
27. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our business, website, products, services or legal obligations.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
Changes will take effect as stated in the updated Terms or any notice we provide, subject to applicable law. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights that have already accrued to you.
We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
