Accruing Points

 

You must be a registered user of VetShopAustralia.com.au to participate in the VetShopAustralia Rewards Program.


Under the Rewards Program, you accrue points for each purchase of an eligible item from our online store after this program commenced (12 September 2023). Eligible Items are those items that are available for purchase on our website other than those that our website states are not Eligible Items. The number of points you will accrue for an Eligible Item is determined by us from time to time. Currently, this is 1 point for every $1 spent on eligible items.


Points accrue when an Eligible Item(s) is ordered, paid for, and shipped by us. Points are credited to your account when your order is shipped, not before.


You do not accrue points for any purchase of any product which is not an Eligible Item, for Postage & Handling or for any other payments, fees or charges other than the price of items or for any purchase paid for with points. This includes postage, handling and shipping charges, special charges, restocking or re-shipping charges, credit card charges, government taxes (other than GST), charges or levies or any fees or charges imposed by any person (including any advertiser on our website and your credit card or payment processor) other that VetShopAustralia.


You do not accrue points for any re-ship or replacement for any reason including if your original order was lost or damaged.


We may include other ways to accrue points, such as creating an account, leaving a review or liking us on social media. The applicable points for such action will be clearly shown on our Rewards page. 


Using Points


Rewards points can be redeemed during the checkout process. Before checking out, ensure that you are signed in to your account. 


Once you get to the checkout screen, you will see your total available rewards points on the top left of the page.  To use your rewards, click on ‘Choose Reward’ and select the number of points you would like to redeem on the order you are placing, then continue with the checkout process. 


You must have a minimum balance of at least 250 points each time you would like to make a redemption, and points must be redeemed in increments of 250, with maximum of 750 points redeemed per transaction.


How do points convert to dollars?


250 Points = AUD   $5  Off

500 Points = AUD $10 Off

750 Points = AUD $15 Off



You cannot redeem points except as set out in these terms and conditions.


Points have no monetary value and may not be sold, swapped or given away.


If you have more than one account, you cannot merge accounts or combine points.


Points expire 1 year after the date they are accrued unless they are redeemed or canceled.


 Your Account and Points Adjustments

 

The number of points you have accrued is shown on your user account. To see the number of points you have, visit our website, and login to our account.  The number of points as recorded is conclusive for all purposes, subject to our right to adjust or remove points as set out in these terms and conditions.


 We may adjust your points entitlement where you have ordered an Eligible Item but you subsequently cancel or change that order or where payment is canceled, disputed or refunded (including a credit card chargeback or payment processor dispute) or where you deny making the order.


We may adjust or reverse your points where we reasonably consider (a) that you have sold, swapped or given away or attempted to sell, swap or give away your points (b) that there has been fraud, deception or a scheme specifically intended or which has the effect of accruing points other than those that a customer would normally be entitled to or using them other than in accordance with these terms or conditions or you have given us false or incorrect information or attempt to do so (whether or not there is any intention to defraud or deceive).


Points only accrue on purchases of retail quantities acquired for normal individual use and do not accrue on wholesale or other bulk orders.


If you redeem points but it is later determined that you were not entitled to those points, you must pay the full retail price for those items on demand. If we hold your credit card details on file, you authorise us to debit such card for any such amounts.

 

The redemption of points a is subject to availability and VetShopAustralia has no liability to you for any inability to redeem points whatsoever, including arising out of technical failure, product unavailability or any other reason.
