By accessing or using the mobile platform, you signify that you have read the agreement and that you understand and agree to be bound by the agreement.
If you have not read the agreement, do not understand or agree to be bound by the agreement, or are not able to consent to be bound by the agreement (e.g., if you are not old enough to enter into a binding legal contract), do not use our mobile platform.
1.SCOPE AND ACCEPTANCE
Anyone who accesses or uses our Mobile Platform is an “End User.” The Agreement sets forth your rights and obligations as an End User with respect to your access to and use of the Mobile Platform and use of any and all information or data of any kind arising from access to, or use of, the Mobile Platform, including, without limitation, any text, graphics, images, art work, sound recordings, audio, video, and software.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change this Agreement (including the Privacy Policy) from time to time, without prior notice. You are responsible for reviewing the Agreement regularly. Your access to any part of the Mobile Platform is deemed to be your acceptance of this Agreement, and any changes thereto.
If you are accessing or using any part of the Mobile Platform on behalf of any business, organization, or other entity of any kind, you represent and warrant that you are authorized (a) to accept these terms on its behalf and (b) to bind such business, organization, or entity to the Agreement.
2.PRIVACY POLICY
Please see our Privacy Policy for a detailed description of how we collect, use, and disclose information about our End Users.
3.Description of Mobile Platform
The site, application, and services comprise an online platform through which pet owners may connect with veterinarians about a pet’s healthcare, general questions, or questions pertaining to the animal. You understand and agree that PetX, VetX and ShopPetX are not a party to any agreements entered into between veterinarians and guests, nor is PetX, VetX and ShopPetX practicing or administering any diagnosis, treatments, or healthcare suggestions and disclaims all liability in this regard to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Prior to using these services you assert that a veterinary-client-patient-relationship
(VCPR) exists with the veterinarian and pet you have connected or, in the absence of VCPR, that you are only seeking veterinary advice and not a diagnosis, treatment, or prescription medication. The regulations regarding telemedicine VCPR requirements vary from state to state.
4.INFORMED CONSENT
A. 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.
B. 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 PetX and VetX or to the Veterinarian. These risks include but may not be limited to: In rare cases, 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 lack of access to all of your pets health records which may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; an incomplete or inaccurate diagnosis of the 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.
C. By accepting these Terms of Use, 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 required, your veterinarian may charge you for services rendered through PetX, VetX or ShopPetX.
D. You may also be able to send written notes to your veterinarian by creating a “Chat Only” appointment through the Mobile Platform. You should not rely on a “Chat Only” appointment if you need immediate attention from a Treating Provider 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 a “Chat Only” appointment does not give rise to a veterinary-patientclient-relationship (VCPR), and does not by itself constitute treatment, diagnosis, or medical advice, i.e. Telemedicine, unless a VCPR has already been established or can be established according to the states regulations in which the veterinarian is licensed.
E. elemedicine 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 and where a VCPR has been either previously established or is not required due to the states regulations. In these instances, a veterinarian may diagnose, deliver care, and prescribe medications from a distance through the Mobile Platform.

10.LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND RELEASE
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, in no event shall my PetX, VetX and ShopPetX or any of its affiliates or suppliers (including any of its or their partners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, or assignees) be liable to you (including any of your partners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, or assignees) for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, whether arising in contract, equity, intended conduct, tort, or otherwise (including breach of warranty, negligence, and strict liability in tort), nor for any damages arising from delay, loss of goodwill, loss of or damage to data, interruption in use or availability of data, loss of use of money or use of products, lost profits, revenue or savings (actual or anticipated), or other economic loss ensuing from or in connection with the existence, access to, use of, or inability to use the Mobile Platform or relating to any materials, information, qualification, or recommendations on the Mobile Platform, even if PetX, VetX and ShopPetX or any of its affiliates or suppliers has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
