By clicking or tapping “Log In”, “Create Account”, “Place Order” or entering or otherwise using our website, www.tlcpetfood.com, you agree to and accept these terms and conditions that govern your use of the Site (the “Terms of Use” or “Terms”). Certain products, programs and services on our Site (the “Products”) may have additional terms and conditions that apply (for example, if you opt into our Autoship Program, you also will be subject to the Autoship Terms and Conditions) and are incorporated in these Terms. If these Terms of Use are inconsistent with terms applicable to a certain product or service, those other terms will control.

BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE SITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THE TERMS AND TO ABIDE BY ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN. YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS SITE OR ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF USE UNLESS YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.

Privacy Policy

Please review our Privacy Policy which governs the use of this website and is incorporated in the Terms, to better understand our practices.

Electronic Communications

When you communicate with TLC via email, text message, video call and other communications through your desktop or other device, you are communicating with us electronically. Doing so implies your consent to receive communications from us electronically and allows you the ability to retain copies of these communications for your records. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Where required by applicable law, we will seek express prior written consent for marketing text messages or calls to you.

TLC Accounts

In order to use certain features of the Site and make purchases on the Site, you must register for an account with TLC (“TLC Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the Site registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information and update it as necessary; and (c) your use of the Site does not violate any applicable law or regulation or these Terms.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your TLC Account login information. You are fully responsible for all activities that are associated with your TLC Account (including but not limited to any purchases or other use of the Site). You agree to keep your username and password information confidential and not share it with anyone. You agree to immediately notify TLC of any unauthorized use or suspected unauthorized use of your TLC Account or any other actual or potential breach of security.

Order Confirmation

Receiving notification of an order confirmation or receipt of an Order ID does not constitute the acceptance of said order nor an agreement to sell. TLC reserves the right to limit the order quantity on any item or refuse service to any customer, without prior notification. TLC may require verification of certain information prior to acceptance of an order. Prices and product availability may change without notice at any time. Errors will be corrected when discovered and TLC reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission (including after an order has been submitted). Certain orders constitute improper use of the Site. TLC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. Your TLC account may be restricted or made “inactive” at any time for any reason, at the company’s sole discretion.

Risk of Loss and Shipping and Delivery

All items purchased from TLC are made pursuant to a shipment contract with the company’s third party shipping partners, except for those orders identified within the company’s local delivery route, otherwise known as a “local delivery”. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon delivery of the Products to the shipping partner. Products will be shipped to the address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and complies with any shipping restrictions contained on the Site. The time and location of delivery of the Products to you is at the discretion of the shipping partner.

Product Descriptions

TLC makes every attempt to accurately reflect our products on the Site but cannot guarantee product descriptions, depictions, colors, dimensions, ingredient lists or other content are complete, error-free, reliable, accurate or current. If a Product offered on the Site does not meet your expectations or is not as described, your only recourse is to return the product in accordance with our Return Policy.

Pricing

TLC cannot confirm the price of an item until you submit an order. If you use Autoship, the price of the item is set the morning the order is shipped in accordance with our Autoship Terms & Conditions. TLC does its best to maintain accurate pricing on our website. If the correct price for an item is higher than the price paid at the time the order is placed, we will, at our sole discretion and prior to shipping, contact you to inform you of the correct pricing and receive instruction on how to proceed (through full or partial refund or payment of a balance if applicable). By confirming your purchase at the end of checkout, you agree to accept and pay for the items as described in the order summary, as well as any applicable shipping fees, and or applicable sales tax. TLC orders are subject to all applicable sales tax required by law and based on the shipping address for the order.

Autoship

By checking “Yes! Schedule my orders using Autoship” and/or selecting “Yes” to schedule your first order using Autoship you agree and accept the TLC Pet Food Autoship Terms & Conditions.
