About Cancellations
What you need to know about Cancellations
We keep everything simple at Petchef, always considering the pet’s wellbeing first. We also understand many people hesitate to subscribe to anything, especially food. And while as adults and foodies we do agree we want variety, we should also keep in mind pets function slightly different and consistency is very good for their health – especially when it comes to healthy food!
Why is there an option for no-contract Monthly, and contract-based subscriptions?
To put it simply: because of the convenience of price. Please try out a few recipes first or pick the Monthly option without a contract. If you see your pet loves the food and there’s no reason for you to stop feeding them fresh and healthy food, then by all means, consider a longer commitment/contract to enjoy further discounts!
It’ll give you a significant discount compared to just Monthly pricing, and it will be the exact same food and quantity as before. No loss for you whatsoever.
I read there are Cancellation Fees if we end the contract before the term ends? How does it work?
Yes, that’s correct. This is NOT a punishment fee though. Let us give you a very simple example.
Let’s say your subscription costs S$100 per month (every 28 days). So you decide to commit to 6 Months with payment upfront, this gives you 20% discount.
So now your subscription costs S$80 per month. You save S$20 each month.
But something comes up after 2 months and you need to cancel before the 6 months commitment ends. What is the cancellation fee then? It’s the total amount of discount that you saved during your used-up months with us.
You paid us 2 x S$80 during the 2 months. You saved 2 x S$20 = S$40 total.
As a “cancellation” fee, we ask you to pay us the S$40 total discount. Not a punishment fee. It just makes it seem like you were on a Monthly no-commitment subscription.
We think it’s fair. If you finish your commitment, you enjoy all discounts. If you cannot, you still enjoy the food and service at its normal price.
Can I really cancel anytime? How does it work?
YES! Whether you have a contract or not, you always have the option to cancel. Here’s some different scenarios you may be in:
- Monthly, no commitment: your request is recorded. There will be no more payments. We will deliver all the food you paid for already, and your subscription will automatically stop at the end of your paid month. There are no fees.
- Contract (3/6/12 mo), paid Upfront/in advance: If you’re in the middle of a 3 Months contract that you paid in advance and you click Cancel, the system will automatically cancel your subscription at the end of your 3 Months. We still deliver all the food you paid for and there will be no contract renewal, no further payments and no cancellation fees.
If you’d like to cancel immediately, please get in touch with our team on WhatsApp who will inform you of your possible cancellation fees and will help cancel your subscription immediately. After deduction of your cancellation fees the remaining amount you paid will be fully refunded to you or credited to your account for further use. We will only keep the amount of money to pay for the food we already delivered.
Extra: your site says “Monthly” but it’s actually “every 28 days”, why?
- Same price every 28 days: since months can have between 28-31 days in total, we would need to adjust both the price and the amount of food each month, which is hard to track both for you and us.
- Same day of delivery to your home: when you first subscribe and select a day of delivery (ie: Thursday), our system makes sure that all future deliveries are at the same day every delivery week. Easy to remember, especially for working households.
- Same amount of food received: just like in the 1st point, using this measure we know that you always pay for 28 days worth of food, so we regularly deliver the same number of packets. Easier for us to prepare and for you to keep us accountable.
