When purchasing our Subscription Products, you are agreeing to commit to the number of separate orders corresponding to the Subscription Plan you chose.

In no event will DuraPaw be responsible or required to provide any refunds of amounts previously paid to DuraPaw. These Terms and Conditions remain enforceable against you even after your right to use our Services has been terminated or suspended.
5. Prices and Payment Terms
All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling in certain cases. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical
errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.
We may offer from time-to-time promotions on the Site that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.
Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept major credit cards, cheques, or electronic transfer for all purchases. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the
posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site at the time of your order.
DuraPaw subscription plans are paid on a monthly basis. Providing us with your payment
information authorizes us to access and use the payment instrument you have chosen for regular monthly or bi-monthly payments of each DuraPaw order, plus applicable taxes and shipping. When you provide us with your payment information, you authorize us to charge your payment instrument for the amount owed.
Upon completing and submitting your payment information, your first payment will be processed. All other payments for DuraPaw shipments following the first payment will be processed every 30 days.
If we believe your payment has violated any law or these Terms, we reserve the right to cancel or reverse your transaction. The number of purchases per customer, household, or order may be limited or cancelled at any time at our discretion. Orders placed under the same
customer account, the same credit card, and/or the same billing and/or shipping address may be restricted. The email address and/or billing address you provided when you made the order may be used to contact you if we need to make changes or cancel an order. If in our sole judgment, we determine that an order appears to be placed by a reseller or distributor, we reserve the right to limit or prohibit the order.
6. Shipments, Delivery, Title and Risk of Loss
After you place your first order and begin your subscription plan,
your order will take place as soon as reasonably possible, depending on the delivery method selected. All recurring orders will ship every 30 days following your order. Unless otherwise specified at the time of order, you will pay all applicable shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process.
If you purchase goods from us for delivery to a destination outside Canada, your
purchase may be subject to import duties and taxes applied by the destination
country. You are responsible for paying any such duties or taxes. Please contact your local customs office for more information before making a purchase. We are not responsible for the payment of any such duties or taxes and are not liable for any failure by you to pay them. It
is imperative that you provide us with the delivery address, as well as the name of the recipient, in a complete and accurate manner. We are not responsible or liable for the delivery of your goods to the wrong address or wrong person as a result of inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.
Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments. It is important to note that delivery times do not include weekends or statutory holidays, and you will be responsible for delivery fees unless otherwise noted on the Site.
7. Returns, Exchanges, and Replacements
Defective products may be returned for credit orreplacement products. To return a defective product, please email us at hello@durapaw.ca to begin your claim. Any products found to be defective are subject to replacement upon our investigation. You must notify us, within fifteen (15) days from the date you received your subscription package, of the defective product. Postal service notifications may be required to verify the date of which our products were received by you.
We cannot guarantee that an identical Product will be available at any given time, and you may be sent a replacement Product of similar value and/or type. You may message us directly at hello@durapaw.ca to make any specific requests if your dog enjoys a certain toy more than another.
You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items unless otherwise specified. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection. In the event of repeated claims of undelivered Product, or defective Product, your membership may be cancelled.
