Privacy Policy

This Privacy Statement describes the types of information we collect from you when you visit or order products from our site, and explains what we do with that information. This Privacy Statement is effective as of February 19, 2010 and will remain in effect until we replace it.

Information Collection & Use

If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (including, but not limited to, name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (including, but not limited to, credit card number, expiration date, etc.).

We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

Log Files

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

Customer Service

Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.

Supplementation of Information

In order to provide secure and convenient online ordering, we use a third-party vendor, Chase, to verify your credit card information and billing address.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Agents

We use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.

Legal Disclaimer

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site

Access to Personally Identifiable Information

If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, delete or deactivate it by contacting our Clinic.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can email us at our clinic.

Changes in this Privacy Statement

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, which is linked from the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

Shipping Policy

General

When placing an order, you have the option to have the order either shipped to a specific address (e.g. home, office, cottage, etc.) or picked up at the Clinic when it is ready (if applicable).

When an order is placed, it may be split into two shipments, depending upon the products ordered. Prescription products must be dispensed by a Veterinarian while non-prescription products will ship directly from the Distributor.

To check the status of an order at any time, go to the “Past Orders” tab of the web store. If you have any problems with your order at all, please give us a call. Our phone number is listed at the top of the page. We will be more than happy to help you out.

All items purchased through myVETstore are made pursuant to a shipment contract, meaning that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

Non-Prescription Products and Food

Non-Prescription products (e.g. toys and treats) and food will be shipped directly to you by courier. The total shipping cost on these orders, if applicable, will vary depending on the number of boxes, and will be displayed at checkout.

In Ontario and Quebec, you may be required to sign for the order when it is delivered. If you think that you will not be home for the delivery, you will need to obtain a signature waiver form from your courier. Submitting this form to your courier will serve as your request for a sticker to place on your door, which will allow them to leave the parcel at your door. The details on how obtain your sticker will be included in our Order Confirmation email. It will also have been included in your registration email.

Orders shipped through the Distributor take 8-10 business days to be delivered. Orders placed on Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be processed on Monday.

Returns/Refund Policy

To return or exchange a product, please contact our clinic at the number listed at the top of the web store page. We will provide you with the details on what can be returned and how to handle the return. Please note that a restocking fee may apply.

When returning or exchanging a product, you will need to provide:

  • The product(s) description and quantity to be returned/credited.
  • The reason for return.
  • The order number and date of purchase.

If you have the packing list that shipped with the product, please provide this so we can locate the order quickly.
