These Terms and Conditions, together with the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement, govern the relationship between consumers who purchase products on this website or otherwise generally use this website (“you”) and Direct2Pet US, LLC, an online pet product ordering service provider (“Direct2Pet”).

Direct2Pet reserves the right to revise and amend these Terms and Conditions to reflect changes in technology, payment methods, applicable laws, regulatory requirements, and Direct2Pet system capabilities.  The Terms and Conditions applicable to your order are those accessible on this website and in force at the time of your order. If you are a subscriber, you will be notified of any changes to the Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to the changes, you may cancel your subscription.

 

1.        Orders

By placing an order, you represent and warrant to Direct2Pet that you are of the age of majority in your State, and that the product is being ordered solely for your personal use, and you will not market, resell or otherwise distribute the product to any third party for commercial purposes.

You may place an order directly on the website. Once your basket has been validated, you will have to choose the delivery address, and validate your means of payment, this last step formalizing the sales contract with Direct2Pet.

Direct2Pet will acknowledge receipt of your order upon validation by sending you an order confirmation email.

In certain cases, in particular for non-payment, incorrect address or any other problem related to your account, Direct2Pet reserves the right to block your order until the problem is solved.

If one of the products you ordered is unavailable (for example due to stock availability), you will be informed and will be offered to either cancel the order or modify your order, for example by ordering a replacement product. If you choose to cancel your order, the amount you paid will be refunded through the payment method used during your order.

Direct2Pet reserves the right to refuse or cancel your order for any reason, including limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies, or errors in product or pricing information, or problems identified through our efforts to avoid fraud and/or account abuse.

 

a.       Changing your order

If you wish to change or cancel your order after confirming it on the website, you may contact Direct2Pet customer service. If Direct2Pet has not started filling your order, Direct2Pet may be able to change it based on your new instructions and send you a new confirmation email.  If Direct2Pet has started filling your order, Direct2Pet will not be able to change it and will notify you as such.

 

2.       Account and Tracking

When placing your order, you may open a user account. You may also place an order on the website without opening an account.

If you have created a customer account on the website, you may access such account at any time to track your order.

In any case, including if you did not create an account, you shall be informed of the progress of your order by e-mail.

The images of the products on the website are for illustrative purposes and the packaging of the product may vary slightly from that shown in images due to technical limitations of your screen or device.

 

3.       Delivery

Several deliveries options are available and may include a free delivery option for certain purchases (i.e., subscriptions, dollar amount thresholds, promotions).

Standard deliveries take place within the timeframe specified when ordering, which will generally be from 3 to 10 business days from the order being placed, or according to the terms defined in the context of your subscription. If the last day of the delivery period falls on a Saturday, on a Sunday or on a public holiday, it is automatically postponed to the next working day. Orders may be delivered in multiple parcels.

In the event of a significant delay in shipment due to Direct2Pet, Direct2Pet will inform you via the contact details you provided. Therefore, it is important that your contact details are accurate. In the event of a failure to ship the products within the time period specified, you may cancel your order.

All products purchased from Direct2Pet are delivered to users through a shipping company. Any risk of loss or damage to the products passes to you at the time you or a third party designated by you, and other than Direct2Pet carrier, takes physical possession of the product.

Once the products have been shipped to the address you have given, you will receive confirmation of shipment by email.

 

4.      Price

Direct2Pet reserves the right to adjust prices in its sole discretion at any time without notice. Such changes will not affect orders already placed or subscription orders already sent, and you will always be charged the price reflected on the website and in force at the time of your order.

If you are a subscriber, you will be notified by email of price changes reasonably in advance of your next delivery, and your acceptance of subscription deliveries after such notice will constitute your acceptance of the price changes. If you do not agree with the price change, you will be able to cancel your subscription at any time directly from your user account.

Price changes in subscription do not include placing an order using a promotion and your subsequent orders placed for the full price of the product. Promotions only apply to the first order within subscription, and do not apply to any subsequent orders.

All prices displayed on the website are in U.S. Dollars.

 

5.       Payment
