3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order or if we are unable to despatch your product, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline or for some other reason (including where we decide that it would be inappropriate to supply a product or items contained within it to you).
3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

Some of the adverse effects are known about and these are explained in the item’s Data Sheet that will be included in your order. Others that may only rarely occur or are specific for certain breeds or groups of animals may only be seen when the products are used more widely. If you suspect that you or your animal has had an adverse reaction to a veterinary medicine, or you think the medicine hasn’t worked as it should have done, report it to the VMD using this form.
4.7 Complaints about veterinary medicines. If you have a complaint about the quality of a veterinary medicine please contact us in the first instance so we can put you in touch with the relevant pharmaceutical manufacturer. However, if you feel that we haven’t resolved your complaint satisfactorily, you can contact the Veterinary Medicine Directorate (VMD) via email at postmaster@vmd.defra.gsi.gov.uk. Please note that the VMD will only consider complaints about veterinary medicines, not about service, delivery or cost and not about non-medicinal products.
You may not make changes to a product after you have ordered it. You may however cancel your order in accordance with these terms.
6.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change a product after it has been ordered:
(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

(c) to replace one product with another than we reasonably consider to be equivalent and we will tell you.

7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.
7.2 When we will provide the products. If you have registered for a subscription, we will continue to supply the products on a monthly basis until you end the contract as described in clause 8 or we end the contract by written notice to you for the reasons we give in clause 9.

If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

7.4 If no-one is home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at the delivery address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through the letterbox, you will need to follow the directions of the deliverer in order to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a depot.

7.6 In the instance that your box is delivered to a company address or multi-occupied address then your box may be delivered to a central point such as a reception, mail room or external lockable letter box.
7.7 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(c) deal with delays in supply of product that are beyond our control; or
(d) make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product.
7.9 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for a product when you are supposed to (see clause 12.2) we may suspend supply of products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts.

You must take steps to ensure any pet(s) or any children do not have access to the medicines in our products when they arrive at the delivery address or through its letterbox.

7.11 When you own goods. You own a product once we have received payment in full.
7.12 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. In some instances, we may need certain information from you so that we can supply product to you. If so, we will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
7.13 Lead times: We dispatch all boxes within 2 working days of payment being processed. Our boxes are delivered with Royal Mail 2nd class post, and therefore we expect delivery to take place within 7 working days. Please note, that this is an estimated time frame and delivery dates may vary slightly, you may be advised of an extended lead time due to any instance of adverse weather, or other Royal Mail service status changes.
7.14 How will I receive my delivery? Our boxes are letterbox friendly for standard size letterboxes, and so will be delivered handily through your letterbox. If you have a large pet family or have selected treats for your pet, you may receive your delivery in two boxes, please do not be alarmed if both boxes do not arrive together, boxes can be separated within the logistics network and can arrive separately. If you have any questions about your delivery please do not hesitate to contact our support team using help@protect-mypet.com.
7.15 Lost Items: If you have a box that you believe may be lost, and today’s date is 10 working days from the date of dispatch, please contact our support team using help@protect-mypet.com. We will investigate the delivery for you. In the instance that we have proof of delivery from our courier, we will be unable to offer a replacement. If we cannot ascertain the location of the box, then we may offer you a replacement. We will monitor any reports of lost boxes and reserve the right to terminate our contract with you if we believe the reports are indicative of fraudulent activity.
7.16 Box Damaged: In the unlikely instance that your box arrives damaged, please report this to our customer support team with supporting photographs, if our carrier provides you with a damage slip, please retain this too as we will require information from the slip to process a replacement. We will investigate accordingly and provide you with an update on the next steps. Do not administer any treatment to your pet if it has been damaged in transit.
7.17 Items missing: In the unlikely instance that you receive incorrect items, or items are missing from your box then please report this to our customer support team as soon as possible.

8.1 Cancelling your subscription. Your subscription can be cancelled at any time by logging into your account on our site, please select ‘My Pet Subscriptions’ and click “cancel” at the top of the My Account section.
However, in order to avoid being charged for the next month’s subscription, you need to cancel by midnight on the day preceding your Billing Date (if you’re unsure of your Billing Date, you’ll find this in your account information on our website).

8.3 Exception to the statutory right to return goods.

8.7 When your refund will be made. You will receive your refund (if applicable) within 14 days after the day on which we receive the product back from you.
