  18. Whiskers N Paws’ Subscription Order Program


    The Whiskers N Paws’ Subscription Order Program is designed to facilitate the automatic reordering and payment of your preferred pet products at a frequency of your choosing. The Terms and Conditions are inherently applicable to all orders placed via this program. In instances where discrepancies arise between the English and Chinese versions of the Terms and Conditions, the English version will take precedence.

  19. Delivery schedules are entirely at your discretion, ranging from weekly to monthly. This program offers flexibility where you can skip or cancel at any time beyond the first three deliveries, switch products, adjust the delivery frequency, add new products, or alter the quantity.

    Please be aware that the first three deliveries are fixed and cannot be altered, paused, skipped, or cancelled. However, we are always ready to exercise flexibility where possible or reverse the discounted amount if you reach out to us.

    18.1 Notification of Upcoming Subscription Order

    Five days before your upcoming subscription order is due to be placed, we will send you a written notification. This will provide details about the order placement date, the contents of your basket, the total price of your subscription order, and information on any out-of-stock products. You have the option to modify your order up to three days prior to shipment. No modifications can be made within three days of your next subscription order being processed.

    18.2 Delivery Time
    Generally, your order will be delivered within 1-3 business days following the order placement date, unless notified otherwise by Whiskers N Paws. For example, if you ordered a bag of food on the 15th of January with monthly deliveries, your next order would be placed on the 15th of February, and you would receive it between the 16th and 18th of February, depending on your location.

    18.3 Payment

    Payment for all subscription orders is to be made exclusively via credit card. Your card will be billed on the order placement date. The billing for your initial delivery will occur as soon as you commence your subscription plan, with subsequent billing cycles aligning with your delivery dates (e.g., bi-weekly, monthly, etc.). The subscription application will store your credit card details to facilitate automatic payments for each upcoming order, negating the need for manual payment. If your credit card cannot be charged, you will receive an email notification regarding the failed transaction and a request to update your payment details. Your order will be dispatched upon receipt of payment. Orders below HK$300 will incur a delivery fee of HK$50, consistent with all Whiskers N Paws orders.

    18.4 Modification and Cancellation

    A minimum commitment of three deliveries is required for your subscription order. [The first three deliveries are fixed] and cannot be altered, paused, or cancelled. However, if you contact us, we will do our utmost to accommodate your needs, or reverse the discounted amount. Should you need to cancel your subscription within the first three deliveries, Whiskers N Paws will charge back the discount difference applied to your previous subscription order(s). Please reach out to us if this is necessary.

    18.5 Out of Stock or Fluctuating Supply

    If any of your chosen products are out of stock or experiencing supply fluctuations at the time of your subscription order, we will inform you and suggest viable alternatives. You have the option to pause or modify your subscription order in such cases. If no changes are made, we will proceed with your order and mark the item(s) as backordered until restocking occurs.

    18.6 Pricing

    Please be advised that price alterations may occur in response to supplier cost increases. Rest assured, your preferred pet products will continue to be offered at a discounted rate, relative to the most recent prices listed on Whiskers N Paws, at the time each subscription order is processed.
