By accessing or using this Site, you agree to these terms & conditions of use. If you do not agree to these terms you may not use this Site.
Australian Sales Only
We sell and ship Products only within Australia. We will not make deliveries outside of Australia or to parcel lockers within or outside of Australia. We do not encourage you to use the Safe Drop option from Australia Post whereby your parcel will be left unattended at your nominated address, however if you do elect to use this service we are not responsible for any missing parcels and no claims can be made against us for compensation.
Eligibility to purchase
In order to make a purchase through the Site, you will be required to register and provide your personal details. In particular, you must provide your real name, phone number, email address and other requested information as indicated. Furthermore, when ordering items, you will be required to provide payment details and guarantee that the payment details you provide on ordering are both valid and correct and that you are the person referred to in the billing information provided.
Acceptance of Your Order
You may place an Order by filling in the Order Form on our site and clicking the "Submit My Order" button. Once you have made your choice and your Order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your Order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your Order, just a confirmation that we have received it.
By placing an Order, you make an offer to us to purchase the Products you have selected based on these T&C's. Information contained on the Site constitutes an invitation to treat. No information on our Site constitutes or should be deemed as an offer by us to supply any Products; however we will make every effort to supply Products to you. We will notify you that your Order is being processed by sending you an Order Confirmation and tax invoice via email; however, we do not formally accept your offer until your Order has passed our internal validation procedures for verifying the bona fides of each Order placed, for the purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. We and our affiliates reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel Orders in our sole discretion. We will confirm acceptance of your Order when we send you an email confirming shipment of the Products you have ordered. If we cannot process or accept your Order after payment is received we will contact you by email or telephone.
We reserve the right not to accept or reject your Order, prior to shipment or delivery, if:
- We are unable to obtain authorisation for payment;
- The Product ordered is out of stock;
- The Product does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn;
- You do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the T&C's;
- The Product ordered is subject to an error on the website, for example, in relation to a description, price or image; or
- An event beyond our control, such as storm, flood, earthquake, terrorism, power failure, war, strike or failure of computer systems, means that we are unable to supply the Product within a reasonable time.
To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction, cancel an Order that we have previously accepted, refuse service to anyone, at any time and for any reason, at our discretion.
We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our not accepting an Order, withdrawing any merchandise from the Site, removing or editing content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction; or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.
Payment Methods and Processing
We currently accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Openpay and Afterpay (subject to Afterpay’s own credit limits on value of purchases). Please note 4 month plans incur a plan management fee of $2.50 per payment. We process payments after you click the "Submit My Order" button. Orders placed on a weekend or a Public holiday will be payment processed immediately but filling of the Order will not occur until the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Victorian Public holidays. We will email a tax invoice to you with your Order Confirmation. Your tax invoice is your proof of purchase subject to payment being received by us. Payments will be debited and cleared from your account upon placing of your Order. By making a payment you confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. Any coupon codes, for example free shipping or discount offers, are valid at the time of order placement only and must be entered in correctly at the relevant point in the payment process for you to be eligible for the offer promoted by the coupon. Coupon offers will not be valid or honoured on Orders successfully placed without using the relevant or correct code.
We take all reasonable care to make our Site secure. All credit card transactions on this Site are processed using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment.
To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. When ordering using SSL you will have a message come up about Certificate Authorisation which varies depending on what browser you are using. E2commerce provides our Certificate Authorisation which means that once you receive their message, they have authorised that we are in fact Pet House.
Our online ordering system is the industry standard for encryption technology to protect your online Order information. SSL encrypts all information including your credit card and all personal information passed from you to Pet House. Encryption provides you with security and peace of mind when your browser and local network supports the use of encrypted data transmissions.
We will take all reasonable care to keep the details of your Order and payment secure, but we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site unless that access was made possible by our negligence.
Please Note:
- We do not redeem VIP rewards as payment for online purchases.
- We do not provide lay-by facilities for online purchases.
- We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia.
- Debit cards and credit cards have daily spending limits that may substantially delay the processing of your order, if exceeded.
- You may be required to provide further identification and information for additional security reference checks.
Security checks
We do not formally accept your offer until your Order has passed our internal validation procedures for verifying the bona fides of each Order placed. We may run security checks for the purpose of preventing credit card or payment fraud. Security checks may be conducted by telephone, by email or by a combination of both. As part of a security check we will require you to provide further verification of your credit card and your identification. If you do not agree to undergo a security check you may choose to process your payment through PayPal instead or you may have your Order cancelled and refunded. We maintain absolute discretion to cancel and refund your Order if you refuse to undergo any part of a security check.
Colours
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products that appear on our Site. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will be completely accurate.
GST
Product prices shown on the Site are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of GST at the applicable rate.
Pricing and Stock availability
We always seek to list Products with the most competitive prices.
- We reserve the right to change prices for Products displayed on the Site at any time before you submit an Order.
- The price of Products shown excludes shipping costs. The shipping cost is shown separately on the Product page but may be recalculated based on how many and what items you place in your shopping cart. Please refer to Shipping Charges below for more details.
Promotional Sales
- The promotions and sales prices that are offered on the Site are available online only.
- We reserve the right to extend or withdraw a promotional or sale offer at any time without notice.

Our process is to contact you either by phone or email with a request to confirm certain information. This may occur when you open your account or when you make an online purchase. In addition, from time to time we may need to ask you for some extra information so that we can adequately identify who you are. This information will only ever be collected for the purposes of confirming your identity. Our process is entirely voluntary, however if you do choose not to confirm or provide the information we ask for then we may unfortunately not be able to continue to process your Order.
If we need to confirm your identity, we’ll attempt to contact you soon after you have placed your Order. If we can’t confirm your identity within 7 days we will cancel your Order and process a refund within 24 hours of our last attempt to contact you.
