3. Automated chat feature

This website includes an automated chat feature powered by a third-party artificial intelligence provider (OpenAI). Responses generated by the chat feature are produced automatically and are provided for general information only. You acknowledge and agree that:

• the responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and must not be relied upon;

• no service, price, appointment, or availability is confirmed by the chat feature, and any such matter is confirmed only through our booking systems or by contacting us directly; and
• you should not submit sensitive or personal information through the chat feature (see our Privacy Policy).

4. Accuracy of information

We endeavour to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date but make no representation or warranty that it is. Prices, services, availability, opening hours, and other details may change at any time without notice, and the website may contain errors or omissions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we give no assurance that any information on the website is accurate, current, or complete.

5. Third-party links and services

This website contains links to services operated by third parties, including booking platforms, payment providers, and messaging and social media services. These services are independent of us and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for third-party services, their content or availability, or any transaction you enter into with them, and that any booking or payment you make through such a service is a matter between you and the relevant provider.

10. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against reasonable losses, costs, and claims that we incur arising directly from your misuse of the website or its chat feature, or from your breach of these Terms of Use.

11. Variation of these terms

We may amend these Terms of Use from time to time. The version published on this page is the version in force, and the date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after any change constitutes acceptance of the amended terms.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

13. Entire agreement

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to your use of this website and supersede any prior understanding on that subject.
