- The number of Points awarded to you per Eligible Purchase depends on the ‘tier’ status of your Membership. There are 3 tiers in the Program: ‘Silver’, ‘Gold’ and ‘Platinum’ (each, a Tier). New Members are allocated Silver Tier status on the date that they register with the Program. Members are eligible to move up, and required to move down, Tiers based on their Eligible Purchases. Points will be awarded to Members based on their Tier as set out in the table immediately below:
Metric Silver Tier Gold Tier Platinum Tier Points earned per dollar spent on Eligible Purchases 10 12 14 Annual spend per year on Eligible Purchases $1 to $549 $550 to $1,099 $1,100+ Points expiry 365 days 365 days 365 days - Based on the above table:

Appendix 6 Repair, Replacement and Refund Policy
Last Updated: 16th November 2023
- Summary
- This Repair, Replacement and Refund Policy is subject to the Website and Trading T&Cs.
- Petbarn exists to enrich the lives of pet owners and their pets. We strive to ensure a good range of products and will repair or replace defective products, or offer a refund.
- This policy offers additional benefits in addition to your legal rights, including under the Australian Consumer Law.
- Defined terms in this Policy have the same meaning as in the Website and Trading T&Cs.
- What is the Petbarn refund policy?
- Return products within 30 days for a refund of the original purchase price, provided the product and packaging is in original condition.
- Personalized items, e.g., engraved tags, are not eligible for return if you change your mind.
- Online returns and delivery charges have additional information below.
- What is Petbarn’s delivery refund policy?
- If a product ordered online is defective or damaged in transit, return within 30 days for a refund of the Delivery Fee, provided the product is defective or damaged.
- Delivery Fees are not refunded for unwanted items.
- What if I have received faulty or defective products?
- If you:
- made a Purchase In-Store and received a faulty or defective product from us; or
- placed an Order through our Sites and a product you received is faulty or defective or damaged in transit on delivery to you,
- If we are unable to provide you with an identical product, we will, with your agreement, refund the Online Purchase Price or In-Store Purchase Price, as applicable (and Delivery Fee in accordance with clause 3 of this Appendix, as applicable).
- If however, you return the product more than 30 days after the date of Purchase or placing the Order or you do not agree to the replacement or refund referred to in clause 4.2 of this Appendix, we will need to make a more thorough assessment of the nature of the fault before we can determine how to help you, be it replacement, repair or refund. In many situations, this will be a simple assessment by our store staff (or for Orders made through our Sites the customer service team). For example: if the product was wrongly described or incorrectly labelled, or if the fault is relatively simple and safe to determine, we can usually assess it immediately upon receipt.
- Sometimes it may be dangerous or may not be possible to assess the product immediately due to the nature of the product (for example, if it is an electrical item). In these circumstances, we may send the product to the manufacturer or their repair agent to determine the issue and its resolution. Whilst we always do our best to provide you with a timely resolution, depending on the product please be aware it may take six weeks or more to complete the process due to the number of parties involved.
- When we send your product to the manufacturer or their agent, we will ask them to assess the product and provide their assessment within a reasonable timeframe. An alternative option is for you to liaise with the manufacturer directly, which may be more convenient and efficient for you. Our customer service team is happy to provide you with the relevant manufacturer’s contact details to assist you.
- As part of any assessment, we look at the following:
- If there is a minor fault: Where there is a minor fault and the product can be easily repaired, this will be carried out and the product returned to you within a reasonable timeframe. Petbarn and/or the manufacturer can instead decide to replace the product or refund the purchase price.
- If there is a major fault: If the assessment is that the product has experienced a major fault you may choose to receive a refund, replacement, or repair.
- If the product has been damaged through abnormal use: Unfortunately, neither Petbarn nor the manufacturer can offer a refund or replacement where the product has sustained damage due to abnormal use as identified by Petbarn, the manufacturer or their agent. If repair is possible, it would be at your direction and cost.
- If you:
- What if my pet doesn’t like the food?
- See our Taste Guarantee (which can be accessed here, subject to the Website and Trading T&Cs.
- How do I return a product?
- There are two ways you can return a product:
- Take the product to your nearest Petbarn Store. Online returns can be taken into your local Petbarn, the store will then contact the customer service team to complete your refund. This may take up to 7 business days.
- Please email online@petbarn.com.au with your name, contact details, and invoice number & details to arrange the return of the product by courier. If you require further assistance, please contact us by phone on 1300 655 896.
- Any cost incurred by you in returning the product to Petbarn will be borne by you.
- There are two ways you can return a product:
- Do I need to show receipts to return or refund a product?
- For us to process a return or refund, we will require proof of purchase.
- If you are a Member of the Friends for Life Loyalty Program, and the transaction for the product you are returning is listed in your Account, that will be sufficient proof of purchase.
- If (a) above does not apply, then if you are returning the product to your nearest Petbarn Store, you will need to provide the staff with:
- the tax invoice you received for an In-Store Purchase or available in your Account for an Order placed online; or
- a printed copy of the order confirmation email that you received when placing your Order online.
- If you are returning a product via courier, send an email to online@petbarn.com.au for processing and include:
- your name, contact details, invoice number and description of the product being returned; and
- proof of purchase (such as your order confirmation) in the courier package.
- For us to process a return or refund, we will require proof of purchase.
- What are my rights under the Australian Consumer law?
- As set out in our Website and Trading T&Cs, nothing in this Repair, Replacement and Refund Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any condition, guarantee, warranty, right or remedy that you may have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any other applicable legislation which may not be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement.
- Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
- Where a failure does not amount to a major failure, Petbarn is entitled to choose between providing you with a repair, replacement or other suitable remedy. Any cost incurred by you in returning the product to Petbarn will be borne by you.
- Your rights to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by a defined time. However, the Australian Consumer Law does recognise that the relevant time period can vary from product to product, depending on factors such as the nature of the product and the price.

The timeframes set out in this policy are considered fair and reasonable given the types of products sold.

- Generating content
- When using PetAI, you may choose to input text to ask PetAI a pet-related query (Input).

- You acknowledge and agree that if you choose to submit Inputs:
- you must own or have the right to submit those Inputs;
- you must not submit any Inputs that infringe or otherwise breach any intellectual property rights (including copyright, database right, or trademark right) of any person or other third party;
- any Input will comply with these PetAI T&Cs and the Website and Trading T&C’s; and
- you are solely responsible for your Input.
- Prohibited use

- in a manner which does not comply with these PetAI T&Cs and any other applicable Greencross Group terms and conditions;
- for any illegal, harmful or abusive purposes or activities;
- to violate the rights of any other person or third party;
- to generate Outputs that are obscene, defamatory, threatening, that infringe any other person's rights or are otherwise inappropriate;
- to generate Outputs that are not relevant to pet-related queries;
- submit Inputs which contain sensitive, proprietary, personal, or confidential information;
- mislead or misrepresent to anyone that PetAI’s Output was created by a human;
- jailbreaking, manipulating or overriding PetAI in any way as to produce Outputs not reasonably expected of PetAI;
- attempt to or assist anyone to reverse engineer, decompile or discover the source code or underlying components of PetAI, including our models, algorithms, or systems (except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law);
- interfere with or disrupt PetAI, including to introduce or otherwise distribute any software virus or malware, circumvent any rate limits or restrictions or bypass any protective measures or safety mitigations we put on PetAI; and

- Our handling of personal information in connection with PetAI is governed by our [PetAI Privacy Collection Notice], together with our Privacy Policy.
- Disclaimers and Liability

- By using PetAI, you agree to assume full responsibility for your use of Outputs and any consequence that may arise.
