  • b) £20.00 for each failed Credit / Debit Card collection on the due date

We provide sales and support in English only. We warrant our software will work correctly in the “English (UK)” default regional setting only. Although we have tested our software in many other settings, we can only provide full support and warranty correct functionality in the “English (UK)” default regional setting.

Software Suitability

123Pet software has been designed to be the industry leader in salon management software. 123Pet Profesional and above can export financial data to the desktop version of Quickbooks for accountancy purposes. 123Pet software is not a stand-alone accountancy software product.

Product and client data importing service

All data file importing is subject to the following terms;

The data file attached to an e-mail may contain client, product, service, employee information as requested by the recipient. This data is compiled from either client provided media/data / files or derived from product manufacturer/distributor ordering data files. Where product ranges contain pricing information, the end user should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of this information in relation to their charging structure and amend to their own requirements as necessary. This data is supplied on an ‘AS IS’ basis. As such Salon Iris Ltd does not accept any liability as to its accuracy. By importing data file(s) into Salon Iris software, the end user agrees to indemnify Salon Iris Ltd against claims for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or all other commercial damages or losses.

Backup Software

As part of a subscription with 123Pet, we will install a 3rd party program known as Livedrive. This program copies a footprint of specified folders from your PC and stores them on a military grade encryption protected UK server.

In order for this software to work correctly, there needs to be a constantly working internet connection. Without an internet connection, then Livedrive is unable to send these backups to the server and therefore 123Pet will not have access to any backups made whilst no connection was available.

As Livedrive is 3rd party software, Salon Iris Ltd is not responsible for updates to this software or any potential failings with Livedrive or your internet connection/internet service provider causing issues with Livedrive.

At Salon Iris, we will always endeavour to keep all of your services working where possible, but with 3rd party programs (e.g. Livedrive or Windows) it is not always in the control or remit of Salon Iris Ltd to be able to fix these programs.

We absolutely recommend that you regularly take manual backups of your database and store these on an external device such as a USB stick or external hard drive and keep this away from the computer, so that if any issues do occur with your Livedrive service, that you will still have backups of your database to rely on.

Please contact us on 0121 314 4402 to discuss this with us and get more information on our Livedrive service.
