- Access
By opening an account on this website, or adding items to our "shopping cart", you are agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions. We will try to make the website fully accessible to you at all times, but on occasions the website my not be available while maintenance is carried out, or for other reasons. You must be over eighteen years of age to use this website and to make payments online.
- Security
You are responsible for keeping your password safe and secure, for not allowing others to use your account and for any activity which is carried out under your account. We will not be liable for any activity which happens as a result of your failure in this regard.
- Accuracy of content
Viovet makes every effort to provide accurate information regarding descriptions of items for sale, prices, recommendations for use and all other matters. However some errors will inevitably occur. We reserve the right to correct these as soon as we find them. Where permitted by law, Viovet disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of information on this website. Information may be provided for the interest of the reader and should be verified appropriately elsewhere before being relied upon. We will provide information and advice, both on the website and by email. We take care to try and ensure this is accurate and appropriate. However we cannot take the place of your vet and Viovet will not be liable for any loss or damage which results from the use of the website or the information it contains.
- Placement and acceptance of orders
You can use the website to request an order. You are able to change the content of your order at any time before payment is made by following the steps on the website. If you want to change your order after this time, you can telephone us on 0800 0 84 26 08. Orders cannot be changed after they have been dispatched. We recommend NOT emailing us to change your order contents or delivery address as we might not see this until too late and if this occurs we are not responsible - you should phone us.
We reserve the right to decline the acceptance of any order, or cancel an order, in full or in part, for any reason at our absolute discretion. We will inform you that we have received your request for an order by sending out an Order Confirmation email. Then we will check the availability and suitability of all items requested. We only accept the order and agree the contract to supply at the point when we email you to say that your order has been Dispatched/Delivered. You warrant that all information supplied by you to us during the order process is true and complete to the best of your knowledge. It should be noted that images of products on our website are there for illustration purposes only and the packaging and/or contents of the items delivered may vary. Lots of manufacturers change packaging from time to time and so it is not possible for us always to have the most up-to-date images online.
If you attempt to purchase more prescription medication than is allowed on your prescription, we will reduce your order to the amount allowed and credit your account appropriately. To use an Account Credit, you must order more than the value of the credit. Multiple credits can be used against a single order. Part credits cannot be used. The credit will automatically be applied to your order on the Order Confirmation (Review) page, before entering payment details. Credits will be used automatically on the order immediately following the time that the credit was granted (so cannot be left to be used on a later order). It should be noted that all credits and refunds put through by our staff, based on communications with you by phone, email or any other method, are put through as requests to management. Management will then review these requests, check that they are correct and either perform the refund, grant the credit or decline them according to the circumstances. Please allow a few days from the date the credit/refund is requested by VioVet staff for this to be completed by management and then a further week for the money to have cleared into your bank account (if applicable).
- Payment
All credit and debit card transactions are carried out on a secure payment service provider website, not on our website. We are provided with partial details of your card (type of card and the last 4 numbers) but we never get to see your full card details if you make payments online. If you request an order by telephone and provide card details that way, we will enter them immediately online as if you were performing this at home. We will not write down or store your card details. However the card processing service provider do store details of your card (as is always the case whenever you make any sort of purchase anywhere with your card). We are able to put through further payments on your card by requesting this from the provider. We will only do this upon your clear instructions, such as to place further orders. We keep full records of payments taken and these can be viewed online in your account, or supplied separately on request. If you choose to pay by cheque, your order will be subject to a 7 day clearance delay.
- Delivery
All orders will be processed and dispatched as soon as possible. We reserve the right to take whatever steps we consider appropriate to verify the authenticity and suitability of all orders for medical products. We also reserve the right not to supply any product ordered if in our opinion it is not appropriate in any way. In such case we will refund in full any payment made to us. We may or may not explain our reasons. We will endeavor to supply orders accurately, but the responsibility remains with the purchaser and user of all orders that the product provided is the same as that ordered. If items arrive damaged (or get lost on their way to you), we will refund or replace them. If you ask for your package(s) to be left somewhere or provide any other delivery instructions then you negate the right to transit insurance and we will be unable to refund or resend items - we recommend not leaving delivery instructions wherever possible and requesting delivery to an alternative address (such as a work address). When ordering and paying by phone or online, payment will be taken at the time of requesting the order (rather than waiting until the order is ready to be dispatched). All items are offered for sale subject to availability. We aim to dispatch all orders within 3 days of receiving payment and (if required) a prescription. The vast majority of orders are in fact dispatched within 24 hours of being made, but we cannot undertake to do this on every occasion. Unless we have specifically agreed to supply on a particular day, or by a particular time, please allow up to 14 days for delivery. If delivery is likely to be subject to undue delay, we will contact you by email. You will have the option of a full refund in this case, or of waiting for availability (this might be due to a manufacturer or other reason beyond our control). Delivery to some addresses may carry a higher delivery charge for certain items. This will be clearly explained and displayed before you make payment. Please ensure that you are happy with what you are ordering and of the costs. VioVet has the option to cancel any order that cannot be fulfilled for any reason and will contact you accordingly. You will always be given a full and timely refund in such case. We also reserve the right to swap the delivery method chosen for an equivalent service level delivery method at our discretion without notice. Other conditions do apply regarding deliveries. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you are also agreeing to what it stated on our delivery information page.
- Use of Goods Purchased
You warrant to us and guarantee that before you use anything purchased from us, you will: - Check to see that the goods delivered match those which you ordered.
- Read the information on our website and supplied with the order about the correct use of anything ordered.
- You understand all such product information.
- You are competent to use the products safely.
- Contact us if you are unsure about anything before using any medication or other products.
- Returns and Refunds
In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 you are entitled to cancel an order and receive a full refund, including the costs of postage, for any items you order, up until 7 working days after the day you receive the item from us. This applies even if you just change your mind and no longer want an item. The refund will include any postage costs you were charged for. However you must notify us in writing of your intention to cancel the order and you must return the item to us by recorded delivery at your expense, or request that we collect the item from you. If we do collect the item, you agree to be available at the time we can make the collection and to cover our direct costs in doing so (our standard courier collection fees applicable at the time). The courier collection cost will be deducted from the refund you are due. It is your duty to take all reasonable care of any returned items and their packaging up until the time we receive them back from you. Any damage will result in us being unable to refund part or all of the money you have paid. Do note that you cannot return perishable items for a refund. This particularly includes any drugs which we send out in cold packs, such as insulin or vaccines. Additionally you cannot return items which you have started to use. To receive a refund you must notify us in writing within the 7 working day period starting the day after you received the order. The 7 working day limit to request a refund does not apply to any item which is faulty, unfit for purpose, or not as described at the time you placed the order. For all items returned after the 7 day period, you are asked to provide a written explanation of the reason for the return. Returned items in this circumstance may or may not be due a full refund, depending on the circumstances. (For example if you used an item for a while before it broke, you may have to bear some of the cost for the period of time you were able to use it.)

VioVouchers
VioVouchers are issued by VioVet for use only on the VioVet.co.uk website. They have no value elsewhere and cannot be redeemed for cash in whole or in part in any circumstance.
VioVouchers can be used as part payment for an order placed with VioVet. Only one voucher per order is permitted. Promotional VioVouchers will state on them that they are valid for £3.00 for the first purchase only of a New Customer. Promotional VioVouchers cannot be used for future purchases by that same customer. A customer is defined for the purposes of this promotion as any member of one household, so that the entire household is one customer.
Some VioVouchers are issued from time to time by VioVet free of charge for promotional purposes. These VioVouchers will carry a code beginning with VVR. The use of any of these promotional VioVouchers can be suspended at any time at the absolute discretion of VioVet. If any goods purchased from VioVet are returned for a refund for any reason then the value of the VioVoucher will not be refunded. Customers of VioVet can pass on promotional VioVouchers to other persons. Any purchase from a New Customer using one of these VioVouchers will result in a £3.00 account credit being awarded to the existing VioVet customer (the Referring Customer). This account credit will be provided at the time of dispatch of the First Order from the New Customer. If this First Order is subsequently cancelled for any reason, the account credit may also be cancelled if it has not been used.
By attempting to use a VioVoucher you accept these terms and conditions and also the terms and conditions of use of the website VioVet. The discount amount of £3 is inclusive of VAT, so if you purchase products without VAT then you will get a lesser discount. There is a minimum order value of £15 to use a Referal VioVoucher.
