LEGAL

Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 July 2026

Who we are

Barkerway is a dog walking business management app built and operated by Matt Barker, trading as SkinttApps ("we", "us", "our"). Our contact email is [email protected].


Acceptance of these terms

By creating a Barkerway account or using the app, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use Barkerway.

These terms form a legal agreement between you and Matt Barker, trading as SkinttApps. We may update them from time to time — see the "Changes to these terms" section below.


Your account

You must provide accurate information when creating your account and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that takes place under your account.

You must be 18 or over to use Barkerway. By creating an account you confirm that you meet this requirement.


Free and Pro plans

Barkerway offers two plans:

We may add, change, or remove features from either plan with reasonable notice. We will not move a feature from Free to Pro without notifying you first.


Payment and billing

Pro subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annual, as selected at checkout). Payment is processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store — you are subject to their payment terms in addition to ours.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your device's app store account settings.


Refunds

If you are not satisfied with Barkerway Pro, you may request a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase by emailing [email protected]. We will process your refund promptly.

Refund requests after 14 days, or for subsequent renewal charges, are at our discretion. Refunds for purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are subject to their respective refund policies.


Your content

You retain ownership of all data you enter into Barkerway — client details, dog records, bookings, and any other business information. We do not claim any rights over your content.

By using the app, you grant us a limited licence to store and process your content solely to provide the service to you. We will not use your content for any other purpose.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you enter and for ensuring you have a lawful basis to hold personal data about your clients under your own data protection obligations as a small business.


Acceptable use

You agree to use Barkerway only for its intended purpose: managing a dog walking business. You must not:


Availability of the service

We aim to keep Barkerway available and reliable, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue features of the service at any time. Where a material change would significantly affect your use of the app, we will provide reasonable advance notice.


Intellectual property

The Barkerway name, logo, app design, and all content we produce are owned by or licensed to Matt Barker, trading as SkinttApps. Nothing in these terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.


Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of Barkerway, including lost profits or business data.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.


Termination

You may stop using Barkerway and delete your account at any time from within the app. On deletion, your data is permanently removed from our systems within 30 days.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, or if we reasonably believe your use of the service puts us or others at risk. Where possible, we will contact you first.


Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Barkerway will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.


Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and notify you by email or in-app notice where appropriate. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
