Petstablished Terms of Use

Welcome to PerfectPetMatch.com LLC (doing business as Wagtopia) (“Wagtopia”).  These terms of use (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Wagtopia website (www.wagtopia.com) (the “Site”), including any content, functionality and services offered on or through the Site, or remotely through the Wagtopia widget software, or otherwise offered by Wagtopia including Petstablished, our shelter and rescue management software (collectively, the “Services”), so please read them carefully before using the Services.

By using the Services or otherwise accessing the Site and/or by creating an account with us, you agree to be bound and abide by these Terms, our Privacy Policy and other applicable terms and documents referenced herein, which are incorporated herein by reference. You also represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Wagtopia and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so. If you are using the Services on behalf of an animal welfare organization (“AWO”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the AWO to these Terms, in which case the term “you” shall refer to both you and the AWO. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the Services.

1. Description of Services

Wagtopia provides an online platform and software that (1) enables AWOs to more effectively manage their operations (including pet records and information, adoptions, donations, events, staff members, fosters and volunteers) and (2) connects pet lovers with their future pets, as made available by AWOs. In addition, Wagtopia also offers the Wagtopia Marketplace as well as WagtopiaMD both of which fall under these Terms, as well as the additional terms for each respective Service: Wagtopia Marketplace Additional Terms – Purchasers, and WagtopiaMD Additional Terms.  Wagtopia also offers ancillary Services, such as sale of microchips and registration of microchipped pets. AWOs that participate in the Wagtopia microchip program are provided with access to Wagtopia software at no cost. The Services are more fully described on the Site.  Wagtopia provides a venue for pet lovers to learn about animals available at AWOs for adopting or fostering, and helps facilitate the adoption/fostering process. However, Wagtopia itself does not own or shelter any pets and is not directly involved in pet adoption or fostering proceedings conducted between pet lovers and AWOs. Furthermore, Wagtopia does not independently verify the accuracy of any pet listings or any other information posted on the Site by either AWOs or pet lovers, including adoption profiles.

With that understanding, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Pet adoptions are subject to certain legal requirements. By providing the Services, Wagtopia makes no representations whatsoever regarding any AWO’s compliance with applicable laws or regulations or with regard to any pet lover’s legal capacity to complete a pet adoption or any other transaction between pet lover and AWO.

• Wagtopia does not assume any responsibility or liability for any animals listed on the Site, including:

• The accuracy of any animal photographs, videos, profiles or descriptions.

• The health, age or behavior of any animal or its suitability as a pet.

• The completion or success of any adoption proceeding or other proposed transaction.

• Wagtopia does not assume any responsibility or liability for the identity, reliability, integrity or conduct of any AWO or pet lover.

• Wagtopia is not responsible for the quality or reliability of microchips purchased via the Site. Any disputes regarding the microchips must be addressed to the microchip manufacturer.

• If you make a donation to an AWO via the Site, Wagtopia makes no representations regarding how the AWO will use your donation or whether your donation may be tax deductible. All donations made through Wagtopia are NON REFUNDABLE.

• All Site users expressly agree not to hold Wagtopia or its officers, directors, investors, employees or agents liable for any Services.

• You use the Services entirely at your own risk.

• If you are an AWO, you understand that Wagtopia may contact applicants who submit applications to you or whose application information you enter via the Services and invite them to register with Wagtopia directly and receive information regarding their pets.

• By signing up and using certain of our free software Services, you are agreeing to process your adoption payments through our software.  If you do not process your adoption payments, then there is a fee for such software Services, which is further described in the payment/fee section 24 entitled Membership, Billing and Cancellation.

Any policies, rules and fees posted by Wagtopia on the Site with respect to its Services are hereby incorporated into these Terms.

All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services must be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of New York, and both parties consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.  You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action against Wagtopia arising out of or related to these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.

19. Waiver and Severability

No waiver of these Terms by Wagtopia shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition, and any failure of Wagtopia to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

20. Mobile Application Terms

Wagtopia may make certain mobile applications available to you. The use of mobile applications either alone or in connection with the Services is governed by these Terms.

You agree that these Terms and the Privacy Policy are between you and Wagtopia, and that even if you receive access to Wagtopia through Apple, Inc.’s App Store or any other source (collectively, the “Distributor”) for use on a mobile device, the Distributor has no liability or responsibility whatsoever to you related to Wagtopia, whether by contract, warranty or otherwise, and you will look only to Wagtopia for any support for Wagtopia. You may use the Wagtopia mobile application on a product that you own or control and as permitted by the usage rules set forth by the Distributor. The Distributor is not responsible for addressing any claims of any sort related to Wagtopia, and you must address any claims directly with Wagtopia. The Distributor and its subsidiaries have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary hereof.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, other applicable terms and documents referenced herein and our Privacy Policy, and, to the extent applicable, the terms for any mobile application or software download, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Wagtopia with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services.

22. Miscellaneous

These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Wagtopia’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Wagtopia may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Wagtopia and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.  Any notice required hereunder shall be in writing.  You consent to receive communications from us electronically.  We may send communications to you on your mobile telephone by SMS or text message. Message and data rates from your mobile telephone service provider may apply and are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by your provider.  You agree that all agreements can be entered into and signed electronically in accordance with applicable law, and all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such notice or other communications be in writing.

You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, "Payment Method") to use the Services. We will bill the Membership Term fee, as applicable, to your Payment Method. You must cancel your membership before the Membership Term renews in order to avoid billing of the next Membership Term’s fees to your Payment Method.
  • Membership Packages. We offer a number of membership packages, including the membership packages listed on our “Plan Summary” page. Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your membership with Wagtopia by logging in to your Account. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered membership plans.

• Billing

  • Recurring Billing.  By starting your Wagtopia membership and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a membership fee, as applicable, at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Wagtopia service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges.
  • Adoption Payments.  To use the software Services at no charge, you must process all of your adoption payments through Wagtopia.  If you fail to process adoption payments through Wagtopia, as determined in Wagtopia’s sole discretion, then you will be charged forty-eight dollars ($48) (“Monthly Rate”) per month.
  • Initial Locked Account - If your Account has zero adoption payments over a sixty (60) day period, your Account will be locked.  To unlock the Account you will be required at that time to either pay the Monthly Rate or click to agree to process adoption payments through the software Services going forward.
  • Locked Account thereafter – If at any time after your Account is unlocked the first time, your Account has five (5) (or more) fewer payments received than adoptions processed over a thirty (30) day period, you will be issued a warning and your Account may be locked again.  You will be required at that time to either pay the lesser of the Monthly Rate or $4 multiplied by the number of missed adoption payments.  If you fail to make payment within X days from the warning message, your Account will be locked.  
  • Price Changes.  We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our Services or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.
  • Billing Cycle.  The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and, as applicable, each Membership Term thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Method each Membership Term on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month or year, we may bill your Payment Method on such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Wagtopia membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges.  As used in these Terms, "billing" shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.
  • No Refunds.  PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NOREFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our users ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
  • Declined Payment.  If your Payment Method is declined you will receive a notice and will have 15 days to provide an alternative Payment Method and make the outstanding payment. If payment is not made within such 15 day period, your account will be deactivated until such payment is made.
  • Cancellation.  You may cancel your Wagtopia membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Wagtopia service through the end of your billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL MEMBERSHIP PERIODS. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period.
  • Suspension. We may immediately suspend or terminate your access  to all or any portion of the Services if we become aware or reasonably suspect that: (a) your use of the Services violates applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws or regulations or any terms of this Agreement, or (b) your continued use of the Services will disrupt use of the Services by others, poses a security risk to the Services, may harm Wagtopia or its systems, may subject Wagtopia or any third party to liability or if we believe in our reasonable discretion that your use of the Services is unsuitable in any way.

Please note that we offer the Wagtopia Marketplace “AS IS” and without warranties. If you use the Wagtopia Marketplace on behalf of an individual or entity other than yourself, you represent that you are authorized by such individual or entity to accept this Agreement on such individual’s or entity’s behalf.  You may not access or use the Wagtopia Marketplace, Site or Services or accept the Agreement if you are not at least 18 years old. 

We strive to improve the Services for you, so our Terms may change from time to time.  We’ll make sure to change the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page so you can tell if these Terms have changed since your last visit.  In the event of a material change, we shall notify you via message or by means of a prominent notice on the Wagtopia Marketplace. By continuing to use the Wagtopia Marketplace following such modifications, you agree to be bound by such modifications. If you are not comfortable with the provisions of this Agreement or with any changes that we make to the Terms or Additional Terms, please do not use the Wagtopia Marketplace. 

Any capitalized terms not defined in these Additional Terms shall have the meaning as set forth in the Terms.

1. The Wagtopia Marketplace.

1.1 Description of Services. The Wagtopia Marketplace provides a venue for users to purchase certain pet products, goods, services and any other pet-related items (“Products”) as may be listed by Sellers.   

1.2 Content, Pricing and Accuracy.  All features, content, availability, specifications, products and prices of Products described or depicted on the Wagtopia Marketplace are subject to change at any time without notice. The inclusion of any Products on the Wagtopia Marketplace at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these Products will be available at any time. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. We make all reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of the Products and ensure that information on the Wagtopia Marketplace is complete, accurate and up-to-date. Despite our efforts, the information on the Wagtopia Marketplace may occasionally be inaccurate, mispriced, incomplete or out-of-date. We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or currency of any information on the Wagtopia Marketplace. For example, Products included on the Wagtopia Marketplace may be unavailable, may have different attributes than those listed, or may carry a different price than what is stated on the Wagtopia Marketplace. We reserve the right to correct any errors from time to time and we will not be obliged to supply the Products at the incorrect price, or in accordance with the incorrect description. In the event of a pricing error or discrepancy on the Wagtopia Marketplace with respect to Products, we reserve the right to cancel any orders (or partial orders) for such Products. We will (at our discretion) either cancel your order and refund the price you have paid or use reasonable efforts to contact you and ask you whether you wish to continue with the order at the correct price or correct description. The inclusion of any Products on the Wagtopia Marketplace at a particular time does not imply or warrant that such Products will be available at any other time. 

1.3 Shipping.  When a Product order is placed, it will be shipped to the address designated by you, as long as such shipping address is compliant with the shipping restrictions contained on the Wagtopia Marketplace. Multiple items placed with separate vendors may incur multiple shipping costs per individual Seller.  REMINDER, a complete and accurate address is critical for successful delivery. An incomplete or inaccurate address will cause significant delays and loss of shipments. Unfortunately we’re not able to accept liability for lost Products if you input an incorrect or incomplete address, and you will not be refunded in this event. Any recovery, re-stocking, re-shipments, or other costs related to your entry of incorrect or incomplete addresses will be at your expense.

1.4 Confirmation, Seller Cancellation and Coupons. While it is our practice to confirm online orders via email, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order nor our confirmation of an offer to sell a Product. We reserve the right, without prior notice and at any time: (a) to limit the order quantity on any Product and/or to refuse service or fulfillment of any order or to any user; (b) to discontinue any Product or service; (c) to bar any user from making or completing a transaction; and (d) to limit or impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, coupon code, promotional code, or other similar promotion.  For clarification, orders may be limited or cancelled by us or the Seller at any time including after receipt of a confirmation or shipping email. We also may require additional information and/or verification of information prior to the acceptance and/or shipment of any order.  For products purchased from the Wagtopia Marketplace using a credit card, an authorization may be placed on your credit card when you place an order. Partial shipment or partial cancellation of orders may occur.

1.5 Purchaser Changes and/or Cancellation.  In most cases, once an order is placed, it is final and cannot be canceled or changed.  This is because the fulfilment process begins immediately for most orders.  You may nonetheless request a change from the Seller, and the Seller will notify you if it is possible to cancel or make basic modifications to your order (for example, for Products with longer lead-times).  Basic modifications would include changing the size or color of an item, or making a minor update to a delivery address. It is not possible to change one item to another where the value is different, or to change the delivery address entirely from one address to another.   If the Seller is unable to cancel or amend your order, (for example if your order has already been shipped), then you will need to initiate a return after your receipt of the order.  For the purpose of clarity, personalized Product purchases are final, and not eligible for returns.

1.6 License.  Purchaser grants Wagtopia a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, irrevocable, right and license to (i) collect and analyze data related to the provision of its Services and the provision, use and data regarding performance of and various  aspects of the Wagtopia Marketplace (“Performance Data”) and use such information internally to troubleshoot, improve and enhance the Services and for other development, diagnostic, security and corrective purposes, including by aggregating and anonymizing data with data from other users or sources to create benchmarks or other statistical information (“Benchmarks”), and (ii) use and disclose the Benchmarks and Performance Data in connection with Company’s business, products and services, provided that any such use and disclosure is aggregated and anonymized and does not reveal any personally identifiable information or the identity of Purchaser and/or any individual.

1.7 RETURNS

You may return your order, or any part of your order, in accordance with these terms, for a full refund if you are not satisfied for any reason. In order to be eligible for a refund, you must first register your return with us within fourteen (14) days from receipt of your order (delivery date).  Wagtopia will request the Seller provide you with return instructions, and you will then send the Products back to the Seller according to their instructions no later than (five) 5 days from the date Seller sent you the return instructions.  If you ordered Products from different Sellers, then you are to follow the return instructions for each Seller individually and make sure to send the proper Product to the proper Seller.  Important note: All orders must be returned directly to the Seller(s). Please do not return any items to Wagtopia’s office. We will not accept liability for any Products returned directly to us. 

Please note, all purchases are final for the following Products.  They cannot be returned in any circumstance unless they are the wrong Product or defective:

• Products which are clearly personalized or made to your specifications.
• Products purchased for ten dollars ($10) or less.
• Products which are liable to deteriorate rapidly, (for examples, fresh pet food or supplements).
• Products with health protection or hygiene considerations, if opened, (for example, doggy diapers).

Additional information:

• Products returned must be in the same condition they were received, such that they may be resold.
• Products returned must be unworn/unused with original tags and packaging.
• Products should be packaged so that both the Product itself and the Product packaging (if applicable) are not damaged in transit. Wagtopia and Sellers do not accept responsibility for items damaged in transit. 
• You are responsible for the return postage costs unless an item has arrived faulty or damaged. Note if you upgraded to express delivery, we will only refund the cost of standard delivery.
• Where you purchased from multiple Seller, you must send each Product to the applicable Seller separately.
• We strongly recommend using a tracked mail service (with insurance where appropriate for the Products value), and retaining proof of postage. Wagtopia and Sellers do not accept responsibility for items lost in return transit. If a returned Product is being shipped internationally, please mark as “RETURNED GOODS” to avoid the Seller incurring any customs charges upon receipt of your return. If a Product is returned but does not meet these conditions, your return may be refused and returned to you or a reduced refund may be offered. 

Damaged or faulty goods

If your order arrived damaged, or you’re having problems with a Product you’ve bought, please contact us as soon as possible by visiting our Help Center. Please note: Most Sellers will require an image or video showing the damage, fault or incorrect item received to be able to provide a solution. 

Refusing delivery

If you refuse to accept delivery of all or part of your order (where the products or packaging do not appear to be damaged or defective) any fees and charges incurred by the Seller due to a package being refused may be deducted from your merchandise refund. The same will apply if the tracking states that delivery has been attempted and the item is awaiting collection from a point of pickup and that item is not collected and returned to the Seller. 

Refunds 

You will be refunded within fourteen (14) days of the Seller’s receipt of the returned Products. Refunds will be issued to the same means of payment initially used to purchase the Products. Refunds usually take between 1 – 5 business days to show in your account, depending on the payment method used. 

Exchanges 

Unfortunately we are unable to exchange items, please follow the returns process using the information above and you can place a new, separate order for the alternative item.

Any capitalized terms not defined in these Additional Terms shall have the meaning as set forth in the Terms.

WE ARE NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND WE DO NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE

Any information or content that you obtain or receive from us, our employees, contractors, partners, sponsors, advertisers, licensors or otherwise through the Services, is for informational or scheduling purposes only. All medically related information, including, without limitation, information shared via the Site, emails and text messages, comes from independent healthcare professionals and organizations and is for informational purposes only.

WagtopiaMD DOES NOT PRACTICE VETERINARY MEDICINE.  WHILE WE HOPE OUR SERVICE IS USEFUL TO YOU, IT IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR, NOR DOES IT REPLACE, PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. DO NOT DISREGARD, AVOID OR DELAY OBTAINING MEDICAL ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED VETERINARIAN, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. DO NOT USE THE SERVICES FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS OR SITUATIONS REQUIRING A HANDS-ON OR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE OR TREATMENT. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. 

All of the veterinarians who provide information and assistance to you through WagtopiaMD are independent professionals solely responsible for the information and assistance they provide to you. The veterinarians are not employees or contractors of WagtopiaMD. WagtopiaMD is a vendor/service provider that veterinarians use to provide telemedicine communications with their patients.

Your veterinarian is responsible for any proposed treatments and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. Neither WagtopiaMD nor any third parties who promote the Services or provide you with a link to the Services will be liable for any professional advice you obtain from a veterinarian via the Services. WagtopiaMD does not endorse any veterinarian using our Services.

1. WagtopiaMD Services.

1.1 Description of Services. WagtopiaMD provides an online platform through which pet owners may connect with veterinary professionals about a pet’s healthcare, general questions, or questions pertaining to your pet.

1.2 Informed Consent.  Telehealth is the delivery of health care services using interactive audio and video technology, where the patient and the veterinary professional are not in the same physical location.  The Telehealth Services you receive from your veterinarian are not intended to replace a veterinary client patient relationship or be your permanent medical home. As with any online health service, there are potential risks associated with use. When using this service, you understand the additional risks of telehealth and waive any liability to Wagtopia or the veterinarian. These risks include but may not be limited to: 

• information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate health care decision making by the veterinarian; 
• delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of the electronic equipment or clinic staffing; 
• lack of access to all of your health records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; 
• an incomplete or inaccurate diagnosis of pet.

If your pet is experiencing an emergency, you should visit an emergency room or call your primary veterinary clinic immediately. It is not recommended to use our Service when your pet is having an emergency.

By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following: you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telehealth, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured. In some instances, your veterinarian may determine that the Services are not appropriate for some or all of your pet’s treatment needs, and accordingly may elect not to provide telehealth services to you. In the event an in-office visit is requested, your veterinarian may charge you for services rendered through WagtopiaMD.

You may also be able to send written notes to your veterinarian or to customer support using a secure messaging portal within the Site (the “Messaging Portal”). Messages you send over the Messaging Portal may be viewed by more than one veterinarian or customer support agent and will typically be answered within forty-eight (48) hours. You should not rely on the Messaging Portal if you need immediate attention from a veterinarian or other health care professional. If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, you should contact the nearest emergency clinic. You understand and agree that messaging with veterinarians over the Messaging Portal does not give rise to a provider-patient relationship, and does not by itself constitute treatment, diagnosis, or medical advice.

1.3 Consent to Receive Periodic Messages and Communications.  You may receive emails, SMS texts and push notifications from us.  By signing up and providing your email address, you agree to receive these communications from us.  All notices from the WagtopiaMD intended for receipt by you shall be deemed delivered and effective when sent to the email address you provided when you registered for the WagtopiaMD. We promise to safeguard these communications and not share them with any third party except in limited instances clearly outlined in our Privacy Policy.  To stop receiving emails or text messages, please email us at support@Wagtopia.com

1.4 Account.  By accessing the Site, you consent to having this Agreement provided to you in electronic form and that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirements that such communications be in writing. You acknowledge that when you sign up for the WagtopiaMD, create an account, request service, communicate with a veterinarian or customer support agent, or provide any contact information, including an email address or cellphone number in connection with that activity, or service (“Contact Information”), you agree that this action constitutes an inquiry establishing a business relationship with us. You expressly consent to our communicating with you about our Services using the Contact Information you provided to us. You also attest that you have the legal authority over any Contact Information that you provide to us and can provide us with the authorization to contact you. This means we may contact you, in person or by recorded message, by e-mail and/or mobile telephone number (including use of automated dialing equipment), text (SMS) message, or any other means of communication that your wireless or other telecommunications device may be capable of receiving.

3. Disclaimer of Warranties.

Please refer to Section 15 of the general Terms.

In addition, we provide WagtopiaMD to provide options for you to receive telehealth assistance for your pet, and we want your experience with our Site to be exceptional. While we work hard to make that happen, you acknowledge that we have no control over, and no duty to take any action regarding: (a) your veterinarians and their provision to you of tele-health-related services, (b) what Services or content you access, (c) what effects the Services or content may have on you or your pet, (d) how you may interpret or use the Services or content.

You will also be subject to the Wait Period again if you cancel and reactivate your Account.

(b) The Emergency Fund is only available to you if your Subscription Fees are made continuously and without interruption. If the payment method we have on file for you fails, you will lose access to the Emergency Fund. If you cancel your Account, you will lose access to the Emergency Fund. 

(c) If you suspect your pet is having a life-threatening emergency and needs immediate care, you must consult our veterinary doctors before gaining access to the Emergency Fund. All emergencies must be assessed and referred by one of our veterinary doctors through the WagtopiaMD platform. A live face to face video call or a video recording is mandatory to determine if it is a life-threatening emergency or not. You cannot access the Emergency Fund if the pet has been admitted for emergency care prior to contacting one of our veterinary doctors as set forth above.

(d) The Emergency Fund only pays for the initial emergency care. All other follow up care is at the expense of the pet owner. Additionally, the Emergency Fund will not cover additional costs associated with euthanasia, such as cremation or memorabilia.

(e) The Emergency Fund is restricted to a one-time annual pay-out in an amount not to exceed $3,000, regardless of the amount of the emergency. In other words, you are only entitled to access the Emergency Fund one time during each year of your Subscription, even if the emergency is less than the $3,000 limit.

(f) You have up to a maximum of 4 hours to take your pet to an emergency clinic or any veterinary clinic of your choice after being referred by our vets. If you exceed the 4-hour period to use the Emergency Fund, the funds will not be released for your pet's care.

(g) You will not qualify for the Emergency Fund if our veterinary doctors have previously recommended a visit to your vet clinic and you failed to comply. Waiting to take your pet in for medical care can result in an unnecessary emergency for your pet and we do not support medical negligence.

(h) The Emergency Fund only covers your cats and dogs. No other pets are entitled to participate in the Emergency Fund. You may be required to provide proof of ownership of your pet in the form of a pet license or registration.

(i) You can take your pet to any veterinary clinic located within the United States. Please keep in mind that some clinics require a deposit before accepting your pet for evaluation. WagtopiaMD cannot provide the deposit for you, however, upon receiving the final invoice, the deposit will be included in the final payment issued by WagtopiaMD. This means whatever deposit you left upon checking in will be credited back to your account at the discretion of the clinic.

(j) The Emergency Fund is non-transferable to other parties and their pets.

(k) We do not cover emergencies associated with breeding or pregnancy issues.

(l) In order to gain access to your emergency fund, we require completed profiles for all of your pets with their name, age, weight, breed, and a clear photo. If this information is missing, you will not have access to your emergency fund.
