The Service is offered subject to your acceptance, without modification, of all terms and conditions set forth herein.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT”, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF IN ANY MANNER, OR BY PLACING ANY ORDER, YOU: (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND BY SUCH OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS, POLICIES, AND DOCUMENTS THAT MAY BE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ANIPANION PRIVACY POLICY (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGREEMENT”); (B) AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE (OR HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE YOU RESIDE); AND (C) IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER ORGANIZATION, REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON SUCH COMPANY’S OR OTHER ORGANIZATION’S BEHALF AND TO BIND SUCH COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS, USE, INSTALL, OR ORDER THE SERVICE OR ANY PRODUCTS (AS DEFINED BELOW).

THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SECTION 23 ( ARBITRATION; JURY WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER) BELOW.

  1. SERVICE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES.
    1. Payment Method . In order to purchase access to the Service (either on a subscription basis if you are a Subscriber, or on a per-Service Appointment (as defined below) basis if you are a Pet Parent) or to purchase Products through the Service (if you are a Pet Parent), you must have a current valid credit card or other payment method acceptable to Anipanion (a "Payment Method"). By providing a Payment Method to Anipanion, you are expressly authorizing Anipanion to charge you for any purchases you make through the Service and for all service fees, subscription fees, or other amounts applicable to your access to and use of the Service, at the applicable frequency and at the then-current rate. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Anipanion will bill all applicable subscription fees, service fees, and other fees and amounts in advance and to the Payment Method you listed in your User Account, or to a different Payment Method if you provide us with a different Payment Method in connection with the applicable purchase. For purchases of Products through the Service, we will bill, at the time of purchase, the Payment Method you use in connection with the applicable purchase.
    2. Free Trials . If you are a Subscriber, your subscription to the Service may be preceded by a free trial (a “Trial”). We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial and to modify the scope and availability of any Trial at any time. If you receive a Trial, you may only use those portions of the Service included in your Trial, only for the duration of that Trial, and only for the purpose of evaluating the desirability of purchasing the Service. Upon the expiration of any Trial period, your access to the Service will cease, except where Subscriber has purchased and/or registered for a Subscription Plan in accordance with the terms hereof.
    3. Per-Use Service Fees . If you are a Pet Parent, the service fees applicable to your use of the Service shall be determined by the applicable Subscriber. Please visit the Telemedicine page of the applicable Subscriber’s website to view the then-current fees applicable to a virtual visit or chat consultation conducted by the Subscriber through the Service (each, a “Service Appointment”). We will charge your Payment Method at the Subscriber’s then-current rate upon completion of your Service Appointment. ALL SERVICE FEES PAYABLE UNDER THIS SECTION ARE FULLY EARNED UPON PAYMENT AND ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
    4. Subscription Fees . As consideration for Anipanion’s provision of the Service hereunder to Subscriber and any Authorized Users, Subscriber will pay to Anipanion all subscription fees and other amounts set forth hereunder or in the Order. Unless otherwise expressly established in the Order, the subscription fees and payment terms applicable to Subscriber’s Subscription Plan are displayed at the point of purchase. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(e), ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
    5. Renewal Terms . If you are a Subscriber, your Subscription Plan will automatically renew for additional subscription terms of the same length upon expiration of your initial subscription term unless and until you cancel your Subscription Plan or we terminate it. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN WITHIN 15 CALENDAR DAYS OF ANY RENEWAL IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY RETURN OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES FOR THE THEN-CURRENT RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION. ANY SUBSCRIPTIONS NOT CANCELED WITHIN SUCH 15-DAY GRACE PERIOD SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY RETURN OF FEES.
    6. Cancelation . Unless otherwise established in an applicable Order or otherwise set forth in Section 11(e) hereof with respect to cancelations within 15-days of any renewal, you may cancel your Subscription Plan at any time; provided, however, that any such cancellation shall not become effective until the expiration of your then-current subscription term. Except where you cancel within 15 calendar days of the commencement of any renewal period, if you cancel your Subscription Plan, you will continue to have access to the Service in accordance with the terms of your applicable Subscription Plan for the remainder of the then-current subscription term. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(E) HEREOF, ANIPANION DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OR ANY SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, INCLUDING FOR ANY PARTIALLY-USED SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. To cancel a Subscription Plan, please send a written cancelation request via email to Anipanion at support@anipanion.com, and include the phrase “CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION” in the subject line. For additional information or for assistance, please contact Anipanion’s customer support team at support@anipanion.com. Cancelations of Subscription Plans will only be effective when submitted in compliance with the requirements of, and as set forth in, this Section 11(f).
    7. Taxes . The fees and other payment amounts specified in this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, VAT) (collectively, “Taxes”). Subscriber or Pet Parent, as applicable, shall be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or penalties resulting from any payments made hereunder, other than any taxes based on Anipanion’s net income.
    8. Promotions. Anipanion may offer from time-to-time promotions on the Site or with respect to the Service or any Products that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.
    9. In App Purchases.
      1. General Information. Anipanion provides the option for users to make purchases directly within the app, termed as "In-App Purchases". If you decide to make an In-App Purchase, be aware that additional terms, which will be presented at the time of the purchase, might apply. By proceeding with the purchase, you're agreeing to these additional terms.
      2. Payment Methods. For In-App Purchases, Anipanion offers a couple of payment options ("Payment Methods"): (a) through third-party platforms like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store ("Third-Party Platforms"), and (b) by using your credit or debit card. When you confirm an In-App Purchase, you're giving Anipanion permission to charge your selected Payment Method. If for some reason, the payment doesn't go through, you'll be responsible for settling the due amount immediately.
      3. Subscriptions & Automatic Renewal. Anipanion offers certain services on a subscription basis, e.g., one month, three month, or six month subscriptions, referred to as "Premium Services". It's crucial to understand that IF YOU OPT FOR AN AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION, IT WILL CONTINUE TO RENEW AT THE END OF ITS TERM, CHARGED AT ANIPANION'S CURRENT RATES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL. To avoid being charged for another term, you'll need to cancel your subscription (as detailed below) before the current term ends. Simply deleting your account or the app won't cancel the subscription. If there's a change in the pricing for the Premium Services you're subscribed to, we'll notify you. If you don't cancel post-notification, you're agreeing to the new price.
      4. Managing and Cancelling Subscriptions. Because your subscription was made via a Third-Party Platform, either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, you'll have to navigate to your account on the respective platform and abide by their guidelines to either adjust or end your subscription. Upon cancelling, you're entitled to the benefits of your subscription up to the conclusion of your last paid term. However, (i) barring specific conditions laid out in the "Refunds" section, you won't qualify for a prorated refund, (ii) there won't be an automatic renewal of your subscription once the existing term culminates, and (iii) after this period, the functionalities of the Premium Services or any In-App Purchases activated by your subscription won't be accessible. It's worth noting that even if you halt your subscription, your profile remains active on our platform, given our services can be accessed without a subscription. To entirely disengage and remove your profile from Anipanion, go to the profile section of the account tab in the app and select ‘Delete My Account’. Being a global entity, Anipanion's pricing framework is multifaceted and contingent on diverse variables. Often, we roll out promotional rates which may fluctuate based on factors like geographical location, subscription tenure, package size, and more. Furthermore, we're continually evolving, piloting new features and payment methods. Anipanion, at its discretion, retains the authority to (i) adjust the available amount of, or terminate the availability of any product, feature, service, or other offerings, (ii) stipulate conditions on honoring any promotional tools like coupons or discounts, (iii) prohibit any user from executing a transaction, and (iv) withhold any product or service from a user or to repudiate any proposal.
      5. Free Trial Periods. Should you opt for a free trial, it's crucial to understand that failing to cancel within the trial period might result in the automatic transition of your trial into a paid subscription. Consequently, your Payment Method will incur charges based on the prevailing subscription rates. Once your free trial evolves into a paid subscription, it's set to renew automatically at the close of each cycle. Your Payment Method will face recurring charges unless you initiate a cancellation prior to the expiration of the ongoing subscription or trial duration, as outlined previously.Note that merely deleting your account or removing the application from your device isn't equivalent to terminating your free trial. Moreover, if you've previously enrolled for a free trial on Anipanion via platforms like the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you'll no longer qualify for subsequent free trials. In such instances, the system will default to registering you for a subscription, and the associated costs will be debited as described in this section.
      6. Refunds. As a general rule, all charges related to purchases are final and cannot be refunded. This also means that no refunds or credits will be issued for periods that were only partially utilized.For subscribers based in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin, specific terms apply: YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, WITHOUT PENALTY OR OBLIGATION, AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE YOU SUBSCRIBED (EXCLUDING SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS). IN THE EVENT THAT YOU DIE BEFORE THE END OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOUR ESTATE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THAT PORTION OF ANY PAYMENT YOU HAD MADE FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WHICH IS ALLOCABLE TO THE PERIOD AFTER YOUR DEATH. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU BECOME DISABLED (SUCH THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO USE BUMBLE) BEFORE THE END OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOU SHALL BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THAT PORTION OF ANY PAYMENT YOU HAD MADE FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WHICH IS ALLOCABLE TO THE PERIOD AFTER YOUR DISABILITY BY PROVIDING THE COMPANY NOTICE IN THE SAME MANNER AS YOU REQUEST A REFUND AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
      7. Requesting a Refund. For those eligible, simply canceling doesn’t guarantee a refund. To secure one, an explicit refund request is required. Apple ID Subscribers: Refund processes for subscriptions made via your Apple ID are managed by Apple, not Anipanion. To ask for a refund, navigate to iTunes, tap on your Apple ID, choose “Purchase history”, locate the relevant transaction, and select “Report Problem”. Alternatively, direct your request to: https://getsupport.apple.com.
      8. Other Purchases. For purchases made elsewhere, reach out to our customer support team, ensuring you have your order number on hand. This number can be found in the order confirmation email or, for those who made purchases via the Google Play Store, by signing into Google Wallet. If you prefer traditional mail methods, you're welcome to post or hand-deliver a dated and signed notice stating your intent to cancel this agreement (or words conveying a similar intent).

        9. Taxes. Payments outlined in this section don't account for any Sales Tax potentially due in relation to the Premium Services as per these terms. If Anipanion determines there's a need to collect a Sales Tax from you based on these Terms, such Sales Tax will be gathered in addition to the established payments in this section. If, for any reason, any Premium Services or their respective payments fall under Sales Tax in a particular jurisdiction and you haven't submitted the required Sales Tax to Anipanion, you'll be held accountable for settling this Sales Tax, including any associated penalties or interest, with the pertinent tax authority. In this context, "Sales Tax" is defined as any sales or use tax, and any other tax gauged by sales proceeds, essentially acting as a sales tax in jurisdictions that don't impose a traditional sales or use tax.

  2. ARBITRATION; JURY WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

    3. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT IMPACTS THE RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF MOST DISPUTES THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF TRIAL COURTS AND CLASS ACTIONS. THIS “ ARBITRATION; JURY WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER” SECTION SURVIVES ANY EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.

    Informal Dispute Resolution . As a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or other action against the other party, both you and Anipanion agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to the Site or the Service, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement ("Claim"), the party asserting the Claim must first try in good faith to settle such Claim by providing written notice, by first class or registered mail, to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any supporting documentation) of the Claim. The party asserting the Claim must allow the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Claim.

    For purposes of this Section, notices must be sent as follows:

    • If to Anipanion: to 1111 Sixth Street, Suite 300, San Diego, Ca 92101 with a copy emailed to legal@anipanion.com.
    • If to you: to your last-used billing address or the billing and/or delivery address listed in your User Account.

    Arbitration . To the extent you cannot resolve any Claim through the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth above, and except as otherwise set forth herein, a Claim must be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Claim. You and Anipanion each expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Claim, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

    To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a written request to Anipanion at: 1111 Sixth Street, Suite 300, San Diego, Ca 92101 with a copy emailed to legal@anipanion.com You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In accordance with the AAA Rules, you must also send a copy of your written demand for arbitration to AAA when submitting your request to Anipanion. In the event that the AAA is unable or unwilling to initiate arbitration within fourteen (14) days of receiving a demand for arbitration, arbitration may be conducted by JAMS, Inc. (in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures) or by any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. You and Anipanion each agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and will not be governed by state law. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Anipanion may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

    In lieu of arbitration, and notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, either you or Anipanion may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, but only if it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section shall prohibit you or Anipanion from seeking temporary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent an imminent or stop an actual breach of this Agreement.

    Class Action and Jury Waiver . You and Anipanion each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and Anipanion that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement set forth above will be void as to you. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM ACCRUES, OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS .
    1. Service Availability . You agree and acknowledge that the Site and/or Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or other development activities. Anipanion will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice of any such unavailability, but shall not have any liability to you for any planned or unplanned unavailability or downtime.
    2. Force Majeure . We will not be liable for any delay or failure in the performance of our obligations under these Terms if the delay or failure is due to any cause outside of our reasonable control.
    3. Assignment . You may not assign or transfer any rights to any other person without Anipanion’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph is void and of no effect. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right to benefit under or to enforce any term of these Terms.
    4. Governing Law and Venue . These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, their subject matter, or their formation (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, other than such laws and case law that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of California. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall have no applicability. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Diego, California.
    5. Notices . Any notice given under these Terms by any party to another party must be in writing and sent by email, and will be deemed to have been given upon transmission. Notices to Anipanion must be sent to legal@anipanion.com. Notices to you will be sent to any email address associated with your User Account. For contractual purposes, you consent to receive communications from us in electronic form, including via text message for purposes of our provision of the Service, and you agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
    6. Severability and Waiver . If any part or provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or in conflict with the law, that part or provision shall be replaced with a provision which, as far as possible, accomplishes the original purpose of that part or provision, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If we waive any breach of these Terms, such waiver will not constitute a waiver of any other breach. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing.
    7. Entire Agreement . These Terms, together with any Order and the Privacy Policy, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Anipanion with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and extinguish all prior agreements, representations (whether oral or written), and understandings regarding such subject matter. The provisions of the following Sections of these Terms will survive any termination of this Agreement: Sections 2, 4 (with respect to the final sentence thereof) 5-7, 9-10, 11(g), 12, 15-21, and 23-24.
