CANCELLING AN ORDER

You can cancel your subscription at any time. As we pre-package our orders in advance you must cancel your subscription no less than 10 working days prior to your next scheduled delivery. We will not provide a refund if you fail to cancel your subscription prior to this day and the Vetty parcel will be shipped to your nominated address.

Your subscription is continuous until you cancel your subscription. If you do not cancel your subscription, your subscription will automatically renew.

BILLING AND TREATMENT CYCLES

A treatment cycle is the length that a treatment lasts. Vetty dispatches products when pets are due for their next cycle.

A payment term is the number of payments needed to pay for the full treatment cycle.

The payment frequency can vary, depending on the customers’ selection. Payment frequencies consist of; Monthly, 3 monthly, 6 monthly, and yearly. Payment frequencies may not align to the treatment cycles resulting in the need to divide the overall cost of the treatment cycle by the term in order to establish payments for the payment frequency selected.

Vetty provides the flexibility for customers to select their chosen payment term to best suit their household spending cycles. In effect, this means that the full cost of the product will need to be paid for over the payment term. Should a customer choose to cancel their treatment before the payment term is completed they will be liable to settle the outstanding amount.

How is this calculated?

Cost of products for treatment cycle - payments received = settlement amount.

What are your options for cancelling your plan?

You can either:

1. cancel and pay the settlement amount, or

2. resume your plan, paying your allocated monthly amount

What are your options for pausing your plan?

You can either:

1. pause and pay the settlement amount, or

2. resume your plan, paying your allocated monthly amount

For example:

For a treatment cycle lasting 3 months where the customer's payment cycle is 1 month, the payment would be structured as follow:

• Month 1 - $25 (Paid)

• Month 2 - $25 (Outstanding payment)

• Month 3 - $25 (Outstanding payment)

If the customer was to cancel during:

• Month 1: The outstanding balance would be $50. $75 (Full treatment cycle cost) - $25 (Month 1 payment).

• Month 2: The outstanding balance would be $25. $75 (Full treatment cycle cost) - $25 (month 1 payment) - $25 (month 2 payment).

• Month 3: The outstanding balance would be $0. $75 (Full treatment cycle cost) - $25 (month 1 payment) - $25 (month 2 payment) - $25 (month 3 payment).
