8. Emergencyvetonline.com.au is a platform which "facilitates" the sale of prescription products between members of the public and the Veterinarians and pharmacists we work with (Dispensing & Compounding Pharmacists). Emergency Vet Online Pty Ltd is not a pharmacy and does not sell or offer to sell or supply prescription products on its own behalf. Emergency Vet Online lists products and provides online order processing and payment services on behalf of the registered veterinarians, dispensing pharmacists. By ordering a product on Emergency Vet Online Pty Ltd you are making an offer to buy the products ordered from one of our dispensing veterinarians or pharmacists. We will communicate that offer to a veterinarian or dispensing pharmacist who may accept your offer to buy and fill your order. Any contract between veterinarian/veterinarian, veterinarian/patient(bona fide), pharmacist/patient or pharmacist/customer relationship that exists is between you and the veterinarian and or the dispensing pharmacist and any sale or supply or offer to sell or supply is by the dispensing pharmacist and not Emergency Vet Online Pty Ltd.

9. Unless you contact us and cancel your order first, if you do not provide the original hard copy valid prescription with your veterinarian's original signature (a photo, scan or emailed copy is not sufficient) from an Australian veterinarian within 14 days, we will either request an original from your veterinarian or your order will be automatically cancelled and you will be charged a cancellation fee (currently $25). Please note your credit card or paypal account is charged at the time you place the order. If your order is declined, we will notify you and refund your payment less any applicable cancellation fee.

10. You must post us your original prescription or your veterinary clinic which you obtained the authorisation/prescription from (we need the original even if you've uploaded a copy during checkout). We recommend you use Express Post to ensure your script reaches us in the shortest possible time. Unfortunately some of our customers have reported that it takes a long time for us to receive their prescription when it is sent via ordinary mail. We do not accept liability if your prescription gets lost in the mail and our pharmacists cannot fill your prescription without the original, no matter what the circumstances.

11. You agree that we and the Dispensing Pharmacists are entitled to decline to fill any order for any reason as we and they see fit. For example because the product you want is not in stock, the product must be kept chilled and due to your location, weather events, holidays or other reasons it is not considered that it can practically shipped to you in an appropriate manner, or it is considered that it is not in accordance with the law, good pharmacy or veterinary practice or good business principles to fill your order for any other reason. If your order is declined, we will notify you and refund your payment. We are not obliged to give you any reason why we've declined to fill any order.

12. You are responsible for any costs if your order cannot be delivered or re- delivery attempt is required because you provided incorrect or incomplete address details or if there is not someone at the premises to sign for the order when a delivery attempt is made. You authorise us to charge such costs to your credit card.

13. We will arrange for the Dispensing Pharmacist to replace or refund orders which arrive damaged or incomplete, where the product is not what you ordered or is not fit for use or otherwise in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law. However, you agree that you are not entitled to a refund or exchange simply because you ordered the wrong product, you changed your mind or because you no longer require the product.

14. Except as set out in these terms of service we accept no liability for the contents of this website or any of the products sold.
