(last updated August 29, 2024)

These myPetBlu Terms of Service (the “Terms”) constitute a binding agreement between you and My Pet Blu, Inc., dba myPetBlu (“myPetBlu,” “we,” “our,” or “ us”) with respect to your access to or use of the Service (as defined herein). 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 myPetBlu 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.

myPetBlu MAY REFUSE ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, AND ANY RIGHTS TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE ARE REVOKED IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS.

“You” as used herein means the natural person or entity that has agreed to be bound by this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) veterinary practices, animal care providers, or other similar entities that purchase or otherwise register for access to the Service on a subscription or other basis (a “Subscriber”), (ii) individual employees or representatives of a Subscriber (including, by way of example and not by limitation, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and other veterinary or animal care professionals) who access or use the Service as an authorized user of such Subscriber (an “Authorized User”), or (iii) a person or entity, other than a Subscriber or Authorized User, that purchases or otherwise registers for access to the Service for purposes of accessing telehealth veterinary care from a Subscriber (including through an Authorized User) for an animal in such person or entity’s care, ownership or control, or for accessing, using, or purchasing other animal-related product, services, and functionalities (a “ Pet Parent”).

1.    THE SERVICE. myPetBlu operates an online service through its website with a homepage at https://mypetblu.com/, its subdomains and/or other websites, and those associated mobile or desktop applications designated by myPetBlu for use with such services from time to time (the “Site”), including all features, content, tools, applications, application program interfaces, widgets and other tools and services included thereon (collectively, the “ Service”), which service facilitates and enables veterinary service and other animal care providers to offer and provide behavioral and wellness video call consultation and other non-emergency telehealth veterinary and animal care services to existing clients and their pets (the “Pet Subject”) and permits Pet Parents to access and/or purchase additional third-party products and services and to utilize activity tracking and other functionality. If you are a Subscriber, the scope of your access to the Service may be determined or otherwise limited by the terms of the applicable Subscription Plan (as defined below) selected by you, which Subscription Plan will be identified and described on an order form executed by Subscriber and myPetBlu and incorporating these Terms, or through such other ordering process (including via telephone, email, or online registration) as may be permitted by myPetBlu from time to time (an “Order ”). myPetBlu may choose not to accept Orders at its sole and absolute discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, all Orders accepted by myPetBlu shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

a.    Nature of Telehealth Services. You acknowledge and understand that telehealth involves the delivery of veterinary health services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a veterinarian who is not in the same physical local as the user or the user’s pet. While telehealth offers conveniences and may facilitate access to care, there are potential limitations compared to the traditional in-person veterinary services. These limitations include, but are not limited to, the inability to perform hands-on physical examinations, meaning the telehealth provider must rely entirely on the user’s description of the pet and its condition, symptoms, etc., and on any photos or videos provided to the telehealth provider. You cannot not and do not guarantee outcome or the appropriateness of telehealth over in-person veterinary services in every situation.

b.   Telehealth services are deemed appropriate based on the professional judgment of the providing veterinarian. However, you understand that not all conditions or treatment needs can be addressed via telehealth and that the veterinarian may recommend in-person evaluation and treatment at a veterinary clinic or hospital as necessary.

c.    During your user of the Service, you agree to provide complete and accurate health information about the pet at issue and to disclose any changes in the pet’s condition or symptoms that may arise during the use of telehealth services. Failure to provide accurate and complete information may impact the effectiveness of telehealth consultations and the veterinarian’s ability to provide appropriate care.

2.    CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT . myPetBlu reserves the right to modify or change this Agreement and its terms, as well as the fees and other amounts charged for the Service, at any time and in its sole discretion. Any modifications or changes will be effective immediately upon posting at the Site, unless otherwise specified in the updated Agreement. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of any modifications or changes, except as otherwise required by law. Your continued access to and use of the Site and Service confirms your acceptance of this Agreement and any changes or modifications made to the Agreement. You should review these Terms and the Privacy Policy frequently and ensure you understand all terms, conditions, and policies applicable to your access to and use of the Site and Service.

If you are a Subscriber, you should carefully review the scope and limitations of any Subscription Plan prior to placing an Order.

b.   Subscribers and Authorized Users.

If, at any time, Subscriber ceases to classify an individual as an Authorized User hereunder, all rights of such person to access or use the Service shall immediately cease.

f.       Technology Requirements. All users of the Service, whether that be Pet Parent, Subscriber, responsible for ensuring access to the necessary technology to participate in telehealth services, including a stable internet and appropriate devices with camera and microphone capabilities.

ALL SERVICE FEES PAYABLE UNDER THIS SECTION ARE FULLY EARNED UPON PAYMENT AND ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

d.   Subscription Fees. As consideration for myPetBlu’s provision of the Service hereunder to Subscriber and any Authorized Users, Subscriber will pay to myPetBlu all subscription fees and other amounts set forth hereunder or in the Order.

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(e), ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

e.    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.

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.

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).

g.    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 myPetBlu’s net income.

h.   Promotions. myPetBlu 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.

i.       In App Purchases.

                                                                                i.              General Information. myPetBlu 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.

                                                                             ii.              Payment Methods. For In-App Purchases, myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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.

                                                                          iii.              Subscriptions & Automatic Renewal. myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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.

                                                                          iv.              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 myPetBlu, go to the profile section of the account tab in the app and select ‘Delete My Account’. Being a global entity, myPetBlu’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. myPetBlu, 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.

                                                                             v.              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 MyPetBlu 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.

                                                                          vi.              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.

                                                                       vii.              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 myPetBlu. 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.

                                                                   viii.              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 email a dated and signed notice stating your intent to cancel this agreement (or words conveying a similar intent). Make sure to include the email or mobile number linked to your account, along with your order number. Send this notice to: myPetBlu, Attn.: Cancellations, support@mypetblu.com

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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu, 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.

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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu at: legal@myPetBlu.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 myPetBlu. 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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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 myPetBlu 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.
