Ordering goods
All orders placed through the Website will be subject to our acceptance of the order. When you submit an order to us on the Website, you will receive an email from us acknowledging your order ("Order Acknowledgement Email"). You should check this email for accuracy and let us know immediately if there are any errors. Please note that the Order Acknowledgement Email is not an acceptance by us and does not constitute a contract. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms the goods have been dispatched to you (the "Order Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. Title to the goods will pass to you on delivery to you provided payment has been made in full. The Contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation. Where you have used a promotional code to obtain a discount off the price of your order, acceptance of this order is subject to our verifying that the code has been issued to you personally and that you have complied with all the terms of the offer and qualify for the promotional code. In the event that the code has not been issued to you for your personal use, or you do not qualify for the promotion, the price of the order will be adjusted notwithstanding any email confirmation that you receive. Refunds for goods purchased under a promotional offer will be based on the terms of the promotional price. Your statutory rights are not affected.
Website information & availability
Whilst we take every care to ensure that the information on the Website is accurate and complete, some of it may be supplied to us by third parties and we are unable to check its accuracy or completeness. You are advised to verify the accuracy of any information contained on the Website before relying on it. Further, due to the inherent nature of the Internet, errors, interruptions and delays may occur in the service at any time. Accordingly, the Website is provided on an "AS IS" basis with warranties excluded to the fullest extent permissible by law. We do not accept any liability arising from any inaccuracy or omission in any and/or all of the information provided on the Website or interruption in availability. Your attention is drawn to the following information in particular:
The Product ingredients and typical analyses listed on this site are provided by the manufacturer. Whilst we do our best to ensure that this information is kept up to date, there may be occasions where a manufacturer has changed their formulation and this has not yet been reflected in the information on our product pages. Please always refer to the product packaging upon receipt of your order for the fullest and most up to date copy of the product's ingredients and nutritional analysis.
Any Feeding Guides listed on this site are provided by the product's manufacturers. Whilst we endeavour to ensure that this information is kept up to date, there may be occasions where a manufacturer has changed their Feeding Guide and this has not yet been reflected in the information on our product pages. Due to the complexity of some feeding guides, the information displayed on this site may be a simplified version and therefore all Feeding Guides are provided for the purposes of comparing products only. Actual feeding quantities will be affected by a number of factors such as your pet's age, size, breed and activity level. Please always refer to the product packaging upon receipt of your order for the fullest and most up to date copy of the product's Feeding Guide and use only this when feeding your pet. If you are unsure of the quantities of food you should feed your pet, please contact the manufacturer or your vet.
We understand that when shopping online, it can be difficult to visualise the actual size of an item, even where approximate product dimensions have been given. We may therefore provide where possible, a list breeds for which the item may potentially be suitable for on some of our products. Due to the sheer number of breeds of dogs, cats etc. in the UK, this list is a guide only and is by no means meant to be definitive. This guide is based on a breed's generic size and attributes. Every pet is an individual and therefore while a product may generally be suitable for a certain breed type, it may not be suitable for certain individual pets. Due to this, upon receipt of your order, you should ensure that you are confident that the product(s) you have purchased will be suitable for your pet's unique individual requirements before use.
Sometimes manufacturers may change the product packaging or update the design of an item. Whilst we will try to update the product image as soon as possible to reflect this change, there may be occasions this change has not yet been reflected on our product pages.
We try to hold stocks of all styles of our products, however occasionally an item displayed for purchase on the website may be out of stock. If this is the case and you purchase an out of stock item we will inform you as soon as possible.
We try an ensure images displayed are as accurate as possible, however due to differences in screen monitors and display, colours may show differently on different devices so exact colours cannot be guaranteed. On occasion we may not have images of every colour variation of a product available. In such instances an image of the product in an alternative colour will be displayed for style purposes.
Whilst it is our intention to keep the Website up to date and error free, product description or pricing errors may occur. If we discover such an error after you have submitted an order to us, we will contact you prior to accepting your order with the correct details. You may then either cancel your order or confirm it based on the correct information. If in these circumstances we are unable to contact you, or we receive no reply to our communications within 14 calendar days, we will treat your order as cancelled. No contract is formed until the Company accepts that goods ordered are and have been priced correctly, and dispatches the order. If a fault occurs in the service of the Website, you should report it to us either by ringing 01327 223818 (Mon to Fri 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.) or by email and we will correct the fault as soon as we reasonably can. Your access to the Website may be occasionally restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will attempt to restore the service as soon as we reasonably can.
Prices
The Prices shown are in Sterling and are subject to change at any time but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation. The prices shown are inclusive of Value Added Tax where applicable, which will be charged to and paid by the Customer at the rate ruling at the tax point. Sometimes manufactures will label their packaging with a suggested retail price (commonly referred to as a 'SRP', 'SSP' or 'RRP') and stock that is for sale in our retail stores may have price stickers attached to tags or packaging. This price may differ from the price we are selling goods for online. In the case where the item is labelled with a price greater to the price paid, we will not charge you more than the price you originally paid after you have received your goods. Likewise, we cannot offer refunds or discounts against the price paid where an item is stickered with a price of less than you paid when placing your order. Prices and special offers shown or available on The Feed Shed website may differ from prices and special offers available in store. Every effort is made to ensure that the published prices are correct if however the published price is found to be incorrect prior to despatch, the customer will be contacted and advised of the correct price. You may then either cancel your order or confirm it based on the correct information. If in these circumstances we are unable to contact you, or we receive no reply to our communications within 14 calendar days, we will treat your order as cancelled. Any published price in whatever format does not constitute an offer in contract or other law. No contract is formed until the Company accepts that goods ordered are and have been priced correctly, and dispatches the order.
Other promotions, vouchers & competitions
From time to time, we (or selected third parties) may include competitions, promotions, vouchers or other offers on the Website. Each such offer and/or voucher shall be subject to its own express terms, however, each offer or promotion will be subject to availability at all times. Your statutory rights are not affected. Voucher codes can only be redeemed by placing your order online by entering the code at the checkout. Please note you can not use a discount code if paying by Paypal and discount codes cannot be accepted during a telephone order. Only one discount code may be used per order. Please be aware, where items are sold together as a promotional bundle or multi-buy, we reserve the right to refuse a refund or exchange on only part of this bundle and only accept a cancellation of the order when the entire bundle is returned. Sale items may be ex-display items and consequently, on occasion, sale items may have incomplete tags/packaging or otherwise lightly shop-soiled, but will be in such a condition that does not affect the normal use of the product. If on receipt of the item you are unhappy with the item for whatever reason, you may return it to us in the condition received, provided you notify us in writing within 14 working days of receipt of the order. The customer will be responsible for any costs incurred in returning the goods to us. We cannot usually accept returns after 14 working days for sale items.
Payment
Payment must be made at the time of placing the order by a credit or debit card (we currently accept Visa, Visa Debit, Maestro and Mastercard) or by PayPal. Any payment made to us will be refunded if we do not accept your order for whatever reason. We cannot accept cheque, postal orders, money transfer or "cash on delivery". We accept payment via PayPal, please note if using eCheque payment via PayPal your order will not be dispatched until the payment has cleared. Typically this can take up to 5 working days. We cannot accept voucher codes if paying by Paypal. In the event of any delay in supply and delivery of the goods caused by instructions given by the Customer, or incorrect information given by the Customer, the Customer shall be liable to pay all extra expenses incurred by the Company.
Delivery and carriage
Delivery charges are clearly highlighted throughout the Website and may vary depending on delivery location and size and value of the order. Free local delivery is subject to a minimum order amount and is only available for delivery addresses within a 30 mile radius of The Feed Shed. Your order will be fulfilled within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances such as a Force Majeure Event, however we will endeavour to give you an estimated delivery timescale at the time of placing your order (typically between 1 and 5 working days depending on delivery options chosen). Delivery dates are given in good faith by the Company who will make every endeavour to comply with dates quoted however such delivery dates are not guaranteed and do not form a term or condition of the contract. Whilst the Company will endeavour to comply with any such delivery date it will not be liable for any failure from whatever cause to meet a delivery date. The Company shall not be liable to the Customer if due to circumstances beyond its control it shall be prevented from performing any of its obligations under the contract. The delivery does not need to be signed for by the named person on the order, but delivery will be made to the specified address and a signature will usually be required (unless specific alternative delivery instructions are left for the courier). Any special instructions left with your order will be followed at the delivery driver's discretion. Any parcels which are requested to be left without a signature and/or at an alternative address will be done so at your own risk and at the discretion of the courier driver. In this case the driver will sign to say a parcel has been left and the goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Delivery is made to the named address and The Feed Shed cannot be held responsible for loss or damage to parcels which occurs after delivery has been made. Please be aware that our courier service does not deliver on weekends, unless an upgraded weekend delivery service is selected at checkout. Standard deliveries are made on working days only (Monday - Friday, excluding public Holidays).

Items should be returned to us in their original, undamaged condition & packaging.

When packaging your return, please ensure you enclose the manufacturer's packaging (e.g. shoe box or cellophane wrapper) within an outer box or postal bag. We are unable to accept returned goods if the manufacturer's packaging has been used as the outer postal packaging.

If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of legal action against you for compensation.
