1. About Pawbound

Pawbound ("we", "us", "our") is an Australian-owned online retail business operating from Queensland, Australia. We sell pet products through our website and fulfil orders using a dropshipping model, whereby products are dispatched directly from our third-party international suppliers to our customers.

By placing an order with Pawbound, you agree to these Terms and Conditions in full. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not place an order.

Our contact email is: pawboundmail@gmail.com

2. Dropshipping Disclosure

Pawbound operates as a dropshipping business. This means:

  • We do not hold physical stock of our products in Australia.
  • When you place an order, that order is forwarded to our third-party international supplier.
  • Your product is shipped directly from our supplier's warehouse (located overseas) to your delivery address in Australia.
  • Products available on our website, including the Pawbound 2-in-1 Dog Water & Food Bottle, are sourced from vetted third-party suppliers including suppliers operating on platforms such as AliExpress.
  • Delivery timeframes reflect international shipping and are longer than local Australian delivery. Estimated delivery times are 7โ€“20 business days for most Australian addresses.

Why we disclose this: We believe you have a right to know how your order is fulfilled. Dropshipping is a legal and widely used fulfilment model in Australia. Being transparent about it is a core part of how we operate. Your consumer rights are fully protected under Australian Consumer Law regardless of where your product ships from.

3. Product Information

We make every effort to ensure that product descriptions, images, specifications, and pricing on our website are accurate and up to date. However:

  • Product images are representative and may vary slightly from the actual product received.
  • Specifications (including capacity, dimensions, and materials) are provided by our suppliers and are accurate to the best of our knowledge.
  • We reserve the right to correct any errors in product descriptions or pricing at any time without notice.
  • Product availability is subject to supplier stock levels and may change without notice.

All prices displayed on our website are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable. Pawbound reserves the right to change prices at any time without prior notice.

Payment is processed securely at the time of order through our payment provider. We accept major credit cards and other payment methods as displayed at checkout. Pawbound does not store your full payment card details.

โš ๏ธ If a pricing error occurs on our website (for example, a product being listed at an incorrect price due to a technical error), we reserve the right to cancel the affected order(s) and issue a full refund, even after the order has been confirmed. We will notify you promptly if this occurs.

5. Orders & Contract Formation

Placing an order on our website constitutes an offer to purchase the product(s) at the listed price. A contract between you and Pawbound is formed when we send you an order confirmation email.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including but not limited to cases where:

  • A product is out of stock or no longer available from our supplier
  • A pricing or product description error has occurred
  • We suspect fraudulent activity
  • Delivery to your address is not possible

If we cancel your order for any reason, a full refund will be issued promptly.
