2. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

2.1 Our site is only intended for use by people resident in the the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (Serviced Countries). We do not accept orders from individuals outside those countries.

4. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

4.1 After placing an order on our standard order form, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy Products by subscribing to a Service. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

4.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

4.3 The subscription plan to our Services consist of an initial charge and then followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Pawpost.co.uk may submit periodic charges (e.g., monthly) without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before pawpost.co.uk reasonably could act. To terminate your authorisation or change your payment method, please email us at cs@pawpost.co.uk.

4.4 By subscribing to pawpost.co.uk you are agreeing to pay recurring periodic subscriptions for an indefinite time until cancelled by you or us, on the subscription terms set out in the application form you have completed, subject to variation in accordance with 4.5 below. You can cancel your subscription at any time. You will not be charged for any cancellation. You can re-subscribe at any time following your cancellation, but we reserve the right not to permit re-subscription where we have previously elected to terminate a subscription by you.

4.5 Auto-renewal. Following your initial subscription period of a fixed three, six or twelve month subscription, your pawpost.co.uk subscription will be automatically renewed. You may opt out of automatic renewal before the 24th day of your expiration month through your customer account. Any three, six or twelve month subscription (fixed or gift) cancelled before the subscription expiration is not eligible for a refund.

4.6 We reserve the right at our absolute discretion not to renew your subscription at any time without giving any reasons for our decision.

5. VOUCHERS AND GIFT CARDS

5.1 We may offer gift cards, discount promotions and other types of voucher (Voucher) which require to be activated by email application in order for the holder to commence delivery of Products through a Service. If paid for, the Voucher is deemed to have been sold at the time of payment for it. All of these terms and conditions shall become applicable as between us and the holder of the Voucher (Holder) when the Holder redeems the Voucher by applying for a Service to commence.

5.2 A Voucher may only be used once by its Holder and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed or published either directly or indirectly in any form or stored in a data retrieval system without our prior written approval.

5.3 We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel any Voucher (other than a paid-up gift card) for any reason at any time.

5.4 Vouchers may only be redeemed through the website www.pawpost.co.uk and not through any other website or method of communication. To use your Voucher you will be required to enter its unique code at the online checkout and use of such code will be deemed to confirm your agreement to these terms and conditions and any special conditions attached to the Voucher.

5.5 Any discounts attached to Vouchers apply to the price of the Products ordered only and not to delivery charges, which will be chargeable at normal rates.

6. CONSUMER RIGHTS

6.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10 below).

6.2 To cancel a Contract, you must email cs@pawpost.co.uk. You must also return the Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable. You must pay the cost of returning the Products if they correspond to the goods you ordered and if either (a) their cost was £40 or less or (b) the cost was higher than £40 and you did not pay an agreed contractual fee (not exceeding £10) for the right to make returns free of carriage costs. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

23. INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES

23.1 What are cookies?
We use cookies to improve the user experience of our website. We would therefore like to provide you some information about how and to what extent we use cookies. You do not need to have cookies enabled to visit our website. However, you will not be able to order Pawpost Boxses if you have cookies disabled.

23.2 Are cookies dangerous?

Cookies are simply files that contain text or numbers and cannot execute anything on their own. This makes it impossible for cookies to transmit viruses or send e-mails without your knowledge. The cookies we use serve primarily to enhance the functionality of our website and also allow us to continue improving the website. We limit the number of cookies we use and keep their lifespan to a minimum to protect your data while giving you an excellent user experience on our website.

23.3 What cookies do we use?

The cookies we use on our website serve four different purposes:

1. Strictly necessary cookies: Some cookies are required to use the website. This type of cookie allows us to identify registered users and to ensure that these users can access secure areas of our website. These cookies must be enabled for users to access all areas of the website and use services like shopping carts and e-billing. On our website “strictly necessary cookies” are entirely session-cookies. They are automatically deleted from your device whenever you close your browser.

2. Performance Cookies: We use cookies to analyse how users interact with our website and to improve our website’s performance. We are always striving to make our website more enjoyable and easier to use. Performance cookies allow us to optimise our site – by using links more efficiently, for instance – and let us identify and fix errors on our site immediately. All this helps us give you the smoothest experience possible on our website.

3. Functionality cookies: We use cookies to remember your settings. Any data you enter, such as your username, is stored and already available on your next visit. These cookies also allow us to give you broader, more personalised features with additional functionality, such as displaying a notification if you are using an outdated browser. The scope of these cookies does not extend beyond our website, which means they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4. Targeting cookies or advertising cookies: We use cookies to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies are used to limit the number of times you see an advert and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, for instance. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. Some of these cookies enable tracking, which means that a user’s behaviour on websites from different operators can be analysed. This information can be used to display targeted adverts (“targeting”), even on websites with different operators (“re-targeting”). We want to make your experience on our website more relevant by showing you personalised adverts tailored to your interests.

23.4 What data do cookies store?

The cookies Pawpost uses do not store any personal data. We always anonymise or pseudonymise the data of our users. This means the data are altered so that it becomes extremely difficult or impossible to link them back to an individual person. Additionally, we will never combine the data stored in cookies with other personal data.
