Benefits
When you purchase product(s) on Vet Warehouse and subscribe to our AutoShip program, you are signing up for continuous shipments of these products and can select how often you would like these product(s) delivered to you. You are able to change your delivery schedule at any time (including on a one-time basis), as well as the delivery address, payment method, and products you wish to include in your subscription. Additionally, when you purchase certain products designated under an AutoShip subscription and sign up to the AutoShip program for such products, you will save an additional savings on our everyday low prices.
Vet Warehouse reserves the right to change AutoShip benefits at any time at its sole discretion, including but not limited to, discount amounts and eligibility used to determine discount amounts. However, Vet Warehouse will not change the price of your next shipment once you have authorised an order as set forth in these Terms. Some of our offer details may change as you receive deliveries over time (for example, price, GST, availability, shipping charges). Subscriptions are good while supplies last.
Automatic Order Creation
When you submit your initial order for a product(s) and subscribe to our AutoShip program, you will receive a notification that your AutoShip subscription has been created and your first order will be processed. Your first order will be processed immediately, and your desired payment method will be charged as soon as the order is placed. Your AutoShip subscription will then automatically create a new order according to your desired delivery schedule, until the time that you make changes to it, or cancel.
Order Changes or Cancellation
If you wish to make changes to your AutoShip subscription, you have up until 72 hours prior to the ship date selected by you. You will receive a pre-shipment email notification reminding you of your upcoming shipment, the period available to make changes to your order and the scheduled ship date.
You can edit or cancel your order during the period from when you receive receipt of such email notification and ending up until the time your next order is due to ship. If you do not cancel the order before the day prior to your ship date, your order will be authorised, and a credit card authorisation hold will be placed on the payment method used to create your subscription or updated payment method you may provide. You will see a pending charge during this time as we prepare your order. There is no need to call or update any information online when you see this pending charge.
Cancellations will only be accepted by cancelling your order online. Email cancellations will not be accepted as we will not be able to actively monitor emails during the 72 hour period.
Credit Card Authorisations and Charges
When you subscribe to continuous AutoShip deliveries, you will be required to agree to permit us to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis, as well as the amount of the charge, this amount shall be set out as detailed below. Vet Warehouse will submit periodic charges to your chosen payment method without further authorisation from you, until you provide prior notice at any time that you wish to cancel or to change your payment method.
Pricing; Payment / Renewal
The amount you are charged for a product(s) delivered under our AutoShip program, will be the price of that item as outlined in the pre-shipment email notification sent 72 hours prior to shipment. Once your order has been shipped, your chosen payment method will be billed at this amount. You will not be charged until your order ships. The total cost charged to your payment method for each AutoShip order will be the price of the item, less the AutoShip and savings discount, plus any applicable shipping charges and GST. Any credit balances on your Vet Warehouse customer account may be applied toward the balance of your order before charging any remaining balance to your payment method.
The charge for each AutoShip item shipment will be billed to the payment method used to create your subscription or as otherwise directed by you. If we are unable to complete your AutoShip order with the payment method you assigned to create your subscription, we will notify you and give you the option to add another payment method to your account.
Your subscription will remain in effect until it is canceled via the Vet Warehouse website.

YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION AFTER WE CHANGE THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Additional Terms
