Definitions:

You, & Buyer means the individual or organisation that buys or agrees to buy the Goods from the Seller. “consumer shall have the meaning ascribed to it in section 2 (3) of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.”.Contract means the contract between the Seller and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of Goods incorporating these Terms and Conditions.Goods means the articles that the Buyer agrees to buy from the Seller. Website, & Site means www.DoggyTreatBox.com We, Us, & Seller means:

Terms and Conditions means the terms and conditions of sale set out in this agreement and any special terms and conditions agreed in writing by the Seller. 

Terms and Conditions:

Please note: Once a customer subscribes it is down to the customer to login to the Doggy Treat Box website and cancel if that is what the customer wanted to do. The customer can email in to our support and request this and 9 times out of 10 we will do this on behalf of the customer.

However with email being unpredictable we don’t always see customers emails come into our inbox. It is for this reason we have to say it is down to the customer to login and manage the subscription him or her self.

Please Note:

We take payment on the 1st of each month and our cut off point for joining us is on 20th. So if you join before this time you will get a box in the same month around the 20th or just after.

Please Note: If you joined after the 20th you will NOT be billed on the 1st of the next month again soon after. If you join after the 20th you're effectively ordering the following months box and it will not be due to arrive until the 20th of the next month. You will see this inside your back office.

We ship all our monthly boxes around the 20th as stated on our website.

Please Note: When all our new orders automatically come in on the 1st of the month from people that have signed up to our monthly subscription we quickly print-off all them orders on the 1st and send them to our fulfilment centre for shipping. This has affectively put the orders into shipping mode on the 1st and we can not give a refund once this happens. So if a customer did not want the next box it is down to the customer to cancel in time before the 1st. Customers can easily do this by logging in to the back office or emailing our support team here: support@doggytreatbox.com   

The reason orders on the 1st go straight into shipping mode is because we have a lot of orders to get ready so we have to print all orders off as quickly as possible to get everything ready as it takes a long time with the amount of boxes we have to ship.

We work one month ahead of our self and already have the boxes ready but it takes a long time to print orders off and stick the customers address labels on boxes to then send to our fulfilment centre. So this is why we need to print off all orders immediately on the 1st and once this has been done it is impossible to refund a customers box until it has been sent back to us.

Customers can send the box back to us for a full refund and the customer will need to pay for the shipping costs to do this. We strongly advice customers who don't want the next box to cancel before the 1st when we take payments.

Please Note: It is the responsibility of the customer to pay for returns shipping. Doggy Treat Box do not accept liability for returns shipping and should be paid by the customer.
