6. Animal welfare and session-specific notices

6.1 Cat welfare

All cat photography sessions are conducted at the cat's pace. Pawneko Creative Studios reserves the right to pause or end a session early if a cat displays signs of significant stress or distress. Early termination for welfare reasons does not entitle the client to a refund or credit note where the full session time was made available and the termination was initiated out of reasonable care for the animal.

6.2 AVS cat licensing — effective 1 September 2026

⚠️ Mandatory from 1 September 2026:
Under Singapore's Animals and Birds Act, it is a legal offence to keep an unlicensed cat, with fines of up to SGD $5,000. From 1 September 2026, all cats brought to Pawneko Creative Studios must be licensed via AVS PALS (pals.avs.gov.sg) and microchipped as required. By bringing your cat to our studio on or after this date, you confirm your cat is licensed. The free licensing window closes 31 August 2026.

6.3 Workshop materials

Journalling and photography workshops involve craft materials including scissors, cutting tools, adhesives, and markers. Participants are responsible for their own safe use of all materials provided. Pawneko Creative Studios is not liable for minor injuries arising from the normal use of craft materials during a workshop session.

6.4 Equipment rental

Equipment rental (Sony ZV-E10, DJI Osmo Pocket 3) is available as a studio rental add-on only. Equipment does not leave the studio premises. A refundable deposit of SGD $150 per item is required. Clients are responsible for any damage beyond normal use. Approximate replacement cost: Sony ZV-E10 approximately SGD $1,000; DJI Osmo Pocket 3 approximately SGD $800. Where damage exceeds the deposit, we reserve the right to seek recovery of the difference.

7. Personal data and privacy

We collect and process personal data in accordance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA). Our data practices are set out in full in our Terms of Service, Section 15.

The data protection contact for Pawneko Creative Studios is the business owner, reachable at pawsitively.neko@gmail.com. You may exercise your right of access, correction, or withdrawal of consent at any time by contacting us at this address. We will respond within 10 business days.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data is shared only with service providers necessary to fulfil your booking or order (Shopify, HitPay, Dropbox, SingPost, Printful, Cowlendar) and only to the extent necessary for that purpose.

8. Governing law and disputes

This Legal Notice and all matters arising from your use of pawnekocreativestudios.com and your engagement with Pawneko Creative Studios are governed by the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.

We always prefer to resolve issues informally first. Please contact us at pawsitively.neko@gmail.com before taking any formal action. For consumer disputes, the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) provides a mediation service that is available to Singapore consumers.
