12.1 Products and Pricing

All products, listed on the Site (“Products”), their descriptions, and their prices are each subject to change. Company reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the sale of any Product with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any Product (except as set forth in Section V). In the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or Product information received from our suppliers, we shall have the right, prior to the acceptance of your order (as described below), to decline or cancel any such orders, whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the order and we cancel your order, we shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.

12.2. Orders

When you make an order, you are making an offer to purchase, and such offer is subject to our acceptance. Your receipt of an order confirmation from us does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline or cancel your order (in whole or in part) for any reason. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until we send you shipping information for the order (or the accepted portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a part of your order, your sole and exclusive remedy is that we will issue a credit to your account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion (if your credit card has already been charged for the order).

12.3. Payment & Billing Terms 

For each Product you order on the Site, you agree to pay the price applicable for the Product as of the time you submitted your order (“Product Price”), the delivery fees for the delivery service you select (“Delivery Fees”), and any applicable Taxes (defined below). If you order a subscription to a Product that auto-renew periodically (“Subscription”), then you agree to pay the applicable Product Price, Delivery Fees, and Taxes upon each auto-renewal date, until you terminate your Subscription in accordance with the directions on the Site. Please note that if your Subscription includes a discounted Product Price for a promotional period, once the promotional period expires, your Subscription will renew at the full Product Price. Company will automatically bill your credit card submitted as part of the order process for such amounts and you hereby authorize us to do so. Your Subscription will be billed seven business days prior to the start of your next shipping cycle. The price of Product is payable in full before shipment. You agree to contact Company if you are unclear about your next renewal dates. You will be solely responsible for payment of all taxes (other than taxes based on Company’s income), fees, duties, and other governmental charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the Product purchase (“Taxes”) not withheld by Company. All payments are NON-REFUNDABLE (except as expressly set forth in this Section II). Without limiting other remedies, we reserve the right to charge a late fee on all past due payments equivalent to the lesser of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance or the highest rate allowed by law. You agree to pay for all collection costs, attorneys fees, and court costs incurred in the collection of past due amounts. Company reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue payment dates with or without notice.

We use a third party payment service in lieu of directly processing your credit card information. By submitting your credit card information, Customer grants Company the right to store and process Customer information with the third party payment service, which it may change from time to time; Customer agrees that Company will not be responsible for any failures of the third party to adequately protect such information. All financial matters regarding Customer information are subject to the conditions of the third party payment service provider’s terms of service. You acknowledge that Company may change the third party payment service and move Customer information to other service providers that encrypt Customer information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security technology.

12.4. Shipping Policy

Products will be shipped out Monday through Wednesday according to the frequency specified to the address you submit when placing your order. Should the shipment date fall on a Canadian national holiday or product inventory is affected by weather related issues, Company reserves the right to change the shipment (and subsequent payment) date with or without notice. The shipment date will be determined according to the date of the Customer's shipping cycle. Any delivery dates provided by Company are estimates. Company reserves the right to make deliveries in instalments. Currently, we ship to CANADA only. Company reserves the right to charge an additional $20 shipping fee if you request that any Products be re-shipped, whether because you originally submitted an incorrect address when you placed your order with the Company or otherwise. Accordingly, please be sure and review the shipping information you submit very closely to ensure it is accurate. Customer agrees to pay a $20 address correction fee for any shipments in transit that require an address correction by the carrier due to an incorrect address (i.e. - missing suite or apartment number, incorrect street number, incorrect zip code, incorrect street, missing building number, etc) in which the correction fee will be charged on the credit card provided to Company by Customer.

12.5. Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your membership (subscription plan) at any time. When you cancel you will continue to receive any products that you have already been billed for prior to your cancellation date, unless otherwise requested by yourself. Pooch Patch DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY SHIPPED PRODUCTS. To cancel, email pooch@poochpatch.ca (ONE BUSINESS DAY prior to your next billing date).

12.6. Product Refund, Variation and Insect Policy

Pooch Patch Inc. ships a perishable product. Our grass, like floral or other plant shipments, is inherently perishable. As such, we cannot honor refunds on shipped items. Additionally, as it is a living plant, slight variations in color, texture, length, weight, moisture content, odor, thickness, insect content, microbe content, mold content, size, feeling, species and a multitude of other aspects cannot be controlled and the variation thereof does not constitute grounds for refunds.

12.7. End User Representations and Acknowledgement

Many pet owners procure pieces of living grass from farms to place in their homes for their dogs to use as a toilet. Pooch Patch Inc. is a service that makes the process of procuring living grass simple and easy. Pooch Patch Inc. grass is grown, like all sod, on a sod farm where the grass is grown outdoors in the farm's natural environment. Furthermore, the grass is subject to all the processes, techniques and occurrences that happen while growing sod; such as the use of fertilizer, compliant use of pest control measures, the occasional accidental inclusion of debris, the variable use of irrigation, and the exposure to naturally occurring animal and microbe populations. By purchasing or receiving a Pooch Patch Inc. living grass product, the buyer or recipient acknowledges that they are receiving a living piece of grass grown outdoors on a farm in the natural environment, as such there may be dirt or fertilizer, weeds, residual pesticides, debris, extra water, insects or other living organisms in the product. THE END USER REPRESENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THESE FACTS, AND POOCH PATCH DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL HARMS THAT MAY ARISE FROM THE PRESENCE OF GRASS, WEEDS, ROOTS, DIRT, FERTILIZER, RESIDUAL PEST CONTROL MEASURES, PESTICIDES, ANY FORM OF DEBRIS, ANY AMOUNT (OR LACK) OF WATER CONTENT AND ASSOCIATED WEIGHT, ANIMALS, INSECTS, BACTERIA, VIRUSES OR OTHER LIVING ORGANISMS.

12.8. Promotions

Please read the official rules that accompany each special offer, coupon, discount, contest and sweepstakes that we may offer or conduct. Special offers, coupons, or discounts cannot be used in conjunction with other offers. Limit one promotion per order.

Personal Information” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit/debit numbers, expiration date and other billing information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number). “Non-Personal Information” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information.

How Information is Obtained

Information That Is Gathered From Visitors

In common with other websites, log files are stored on our web server saving details such as the visitor's Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session) address, browser type, referring page and time of visit. Such information is not associated with any online account or registration information.

Information You Give to Us

We receive and store information that you enter on the Site or give us in any other way (e.g., by telephone). This may include information you provide when you register as a member (“Registered Member”), engage in transactions, search, contact customer service, or participate in contests, promotions, surveys, forums, content submissions, chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions or other aspects or services offered by us. As a result, you may supply us with such Personal Information. Each Registered Member may be provided a unique username and password that enable access to the Service. We may track the use of those usernames and passwords in order to collect and maintain records of individual transactions conducted through the Services by Registered Members, and those records may be associated with each Registered Member’s individual account profile within the Company system.

By submitting Personal Information through the Site or the Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and unauthorized alteration of Personal Information in Company's possession and control. Although we endeavor to provide security for information in our possession and control, no security system can prevent against all potential security breaches, and we bear no liability for uses or disclosures of Personal Information or Non-Personal Information arising in connection with the theft thereof. Likewise, Registered Members are responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of passwords to the Services, and we bear no liability for access to, or use or disclosure of, Personal Information, if such access, use or disclosure arises in connection with the theft or disclosure (whether intentional or negligent) of a password.

You can always modify or remove Personal Information by logging in to your account.

How the Information is used

We use information collected from our Site and the Services in several ways. For example, we use Personal Information as needed to provide the Site and the Services, to create accounts, and to communicate with Registered Members.

We may send E-mails to you regarding news of the Services or offers by us or our affiliates. We also use both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information when evaluating ways to improve the Site and the Services. As further described below, in limited circumstances we may disclose collected information, including Personal Information, to certain third parties in connection with providing the Services or as required by law.

We use Non-Personal Information in a variety of ways, including, by way of example, to evaluate the performance of the Site and Services and the general preferences of users, or to generate anonymous statistics for our benefit or for our business partners. Because Non-Personal Information is entirely anonymous, and therefore can never be used by us to identify you, this policy does not limit our ability to use or disclose Non-Personal Information.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you enter and win a contest or other promotion, you expressly consent to us (a) providing your Personal Information (e.g., your name and address) to the third party providing the prize for the contest or other promotion, solely to provide you such prize and (b) publicly disclosing your name and the fact that you won the contest or promotion.

Information Shared with Third Parties

In addition, as a necessary part of providing the Services, we may disclose information collected from you to certain third parties. For example, we may disclose certain Personal Information about you to our third-party service providers (e.g., our third party payment processors), so long as they are only using the Personal Information to provide services to us. If another company acquires our company, business, or our assets, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by it and us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. Under certain limited circumstances, we may cooperate with legal investigations and/or we may be subject to legal requirements to disclose information collected through the Site or the Services, such as, by way of example, to a court or a governmental agency, and our policy is to provide such cooperation and comply fully with all such legal requirements. We may also disclose Personal Information to protect or defend the rights or property of Company or users of the Services and/or to investigate any violation or potential violation of the law, this Privacy Policy, or the Terms and Conditions. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. The disclosures contemplated by this paragraph (“Necessary Disclosures”) are necessary if you wish to use the Services. As mentioned above, Company may use and disclose Non-Personal Information without restriction. If you do not want us to make such Necessary Disclosures, or to use Non-Personal Information without restriction, you must not use the Services.

We do not sell, rent or lease e-mail addresses to third parties.
