Before you make a purchase from us we encourage you to join our live demos, live training, and watch our prerecorded videos to fully understand what you are purchasing. Additionally, you are required to read these terms carefully BEFORE making your purchase with us.

When you purchase our products, you are given access to information and technology which is considered software as a service “SaaS” and because of this, we do not issue refunds. Upon purchase, you are agreeing that all sales are final regardless of if you logged in, accessed, or used them.

You agree that the following grounds are not acceptable reasons for refunds:

  • You’ve changed your mind
  • You’ve decided our software is “Not what I need”
  • You’ve decided to stop using our software
  • You don’t have the time to use our software
  • You’ve found a different solution
  • You made modifications and now the software works differently than expected
  • Your business no longer needs our software
  • You experience conflicts with other 3rd party software connected to our product
  • The product is not what you expected
  • You didn’t receive acceptable customer support
  • You are selling your business
  • Any other reason

Sales Are Final. When you make a purchase from us you fully understand that all sales are final. You agree to never dispute or charge-back the purchase with your bank or credit card company. If you do, you agree that the charges were valid and further agree that eTailPet shall automatically be entitled to all funds collected regardless if you change your mind later.

We Do Not Prorate. When you make a purchase from us, you are purchasing access to our software and are committing to paying the full amount you are billed. In the event you cancel or are terminated, we do not prorate fees or provide partial refunds.

You understand when service is terminated eTailPet will not store any system data and the information will be purged without an active subscription.

Cancellations must be submitted in writing to the service desk or support@etailpet.com at least 10 business days before the next billing period. Otherwise, your subscription will continue to the next billing term.
