Pet Parent Terms Of Service

AIRVET, INC.

Last Updated: July 18, 2023

AIRVET, INC. (“AIRVET”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides pet parents (“Users”) with online services related to their pets' health using digital interactive audio and video technology (including but not limited to, text messaging, online chat, and digital video conferencing) enabling Users to report the health history of their pets and engage with third party veterinary professionals or our team of veterinary professionals (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are accessed and provided through our mobile applications (“App(s)”) and supporting information and account customer service is available on our website located at www.airvet.com and may be available through other related websites with links to these Terms of Service (collectively, the “Services”). Only residents of the United States or Canada (excluding the province of Quebec) are eligible to access and use the Services. For clarity, residents of Quebec are not eligible to access or use the Services.

By registering for and/or accessing and using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Pet Parent Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) and all other terms and policies that appear on the Services. YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES OR ACCEPT THE TERMS OF SERVICE IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST THE AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, DO NOT ACCESS AND/OR USE THE SERVICES. BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND AIRVET'S PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THESE “TERMS”). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICES. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND AIRVET'S PROVISION OF THE SERVICES TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY AIRVET AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

ARBITRATION NOTICE

Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 19, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND AIRVET ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See Section 20.)

  1. SCOPE OF SERVICES

    Only residents of the United States or Canada (excluding the province of Quebec) are eligible to access the Services. For clarity, residents of Quebec are not eligible to access the Services. Services can only be accessed via your use of the applicable App. Support provided via our website is only for non-medical or non-veterinary services support, not for making use requests for the Services. Certain Services are available on a pay as you go or a la carte model. Services are also available in various packages under a subscription model (each a “Membership Service”). Users may subscribe to a Membership Service plan directly (a “Direct Membership”), or may register for an account to receive Membership Services as part of a package of services or benefits that a User is entitled to through that User's relationship with an employer or third party provider of other products or services who has a commercial arrangement with AIRVET (“Sponsored Membership”). The scope of what is included in your Membership Services package can vary.

    AIRVET and those acting on our behalf may send you text (SMS) messages at the phone number you provide us. These messages may include operational messages about your use of the Services. While you are using the Services, you may not opt out of receiving operational text messages from AIRVET. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system. Standard data and message rates may apply whenever you send or receive such messages, as specified by your carrier.

    TELEHEALTH VETERINARY MEDICINE SERVICES

    Telehealth Veterinary Medical Services may be provided on an a la carte basis or as part of a Membership Services Package. The independent veterinary professionals (“Providers”) who deliver Telehealth Veterinary Medical Services through AIRVET are independent professionals solely responsible for the services each provides to you and your pets. AIRVET does not, as part of offering Telehealth Veterinary Medical Services, practice veterinary medicine, veterinary technician services, or any other licensed profession, and does not interfere with the practice of veterinary medicine, veterinary technician services, or any other licensed profession by Providers, each of whom is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. Neither AIRVET nor any third parties who promote the Services or provide you with a link to the Services shall be liable for any damages allegedly caused by the professional advice you or your pet obtains from a Provider via the Services.

    1. In order for a Provider to diagnose, treat, or prescribe medication to you or your pet (the “VCPR Services”), you must have established a valid Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship (“VCPR”) with that Provider under applicable law for the specific pet that is the subject of the Services. The requirements of a valid VCPR may vary jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The VCPR for the specific pet that is the subject of the VCPR Services must have been established within a reasonable time considering the specific condition of the pet but in no case more than a year prior to the provision of services. If you intend to use VCPR Services, you represent that a VCPR exists with the Provider and pet you have connected or, in the absence of a VCPR, you are only seeking veterinary advice and not a diagnosis, treatment, or prescription medication.

  2. SERVICES CONTENT

    None of the Services content (other than information you receive from a Provider) should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation or warranty that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for your pet.

    1. YOU CONSENT TO THE EXCHANGE AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION AND RECORDS (INCLUDING COMMUNICATIONS RECORDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES) RELATED TO YOUR PET BETWEEN AND FROM YOUR REGULAR VETERINARIAN (OR OTHER VETERINARY CLINIC THAT HOLDS SUCH RECORDS), AIRVET, AND YOUR PROVIDER. AIRVET MAY STORE YOUR PET'S MEDICAL RECORDS IN AIRVET'S SYSTEM SO THAT PROPER CARE MAY BE GIVEN.
    2. Our Services involve the delivery of veterinary medical services using interactive audio, chat and video technology, where the User and the applicable pet are not in the same physical location as the veterinary professional. During your consultation with a Provider, details of your pet's health history and health status information may be discussed with you through the use of interactive video, audio and other telecommunications technology, and your Provider may ask for your assistance to conduct an assessment of your pet through these technologies. In addition, each User hereby grants AIRVET the right to record video and audio calls made when a User is using the Services (“Recordings”). Each User acknowledges and agrees that these Recordings may capture certain items that are considered to be biometric identifiers such as your face and voice. Such biometric identifiers are not used to identify you but are only used to provide the Services to you in accordance with these Terms. You expressly consent to our capture and use of biometric identifiers in the Recordings in accordance with these Terms.
    3. Electronic (including audio and video) or phone communications via the Services are not confidential or privileged and will not be the subject of any associated confidences or privileges. You understand and agree that all such communications may be recorded for training and quality control purposes and for review and assessment by your Provider and/or your regular veterinarian and by the AIRVET team.
    4. The video telehealth services you receive from Providers and other Services that you receive from a member of the AIRVET team are not intended to replace a primary care veterinary relationship or be your permanent veterinary medical service but rather augment these services. You should seek emergency help or follow-up care: when recommended by a Provider or by a member of the AIRVET team; if the pet appears in pain; if there appears to be a risk of injury to human or animal; or when otherwise needed; and continue to consult with your primary veterinarian and other veterinary professionals as recommended. You may make arrangements for follow-up care either through AIRVET or other veterinary providers. Among the benefits of our Services are improved access to veterinary medicine professionals and convenience. However, as with any veterinary medicine service, there are potential risks associated with the use of telehealth services. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility that information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate care decision-making by the Provider. In addition, delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of the electronic equipment or telecommunications networks. If this happens, you may be contacted by phone or other means of communication. It is possible that a lack of access to all of your pet's health records or other relevant information (including without limitation historical, medical, and behavioral information) may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.
    5. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following: You understand that no results can be guaranteed or assured, despite any anticipated benefits from the use of the Services. Your Provider or the AIRVET team, as applicable for the Services being provided, 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 for your pet through the Services.
    6. IF YOUR PET IS EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD GO TO YOUR NEAREST VETERINARY TREATMENT CLINIC.
  3. USER ACCOUNTS

    1. When you register for any and all Services (including, without limitation Sponsored Memberships), you are required to create an account (“Account”) by entering your name, email address, password and certain other information collected by AIRVET (collectively “Account Information”).

You may not use anyone else's account at any time.

    2. The Services are not directed to children and children are not eligible to use our Services.

We also recommend that you do not store your Account password through your web browser or other software.

    2. Certain features of the Service may permit Users to upload content to the Service, including messages, reviews, photos, video, images, folders, data, text, and other types of works (collectively with the Recordings, “User Content”). You may submit certain User content to be posted by AIRVET publicly, such as User reviews. You retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you post to the Service. By providing User Content to or via the Service, you grant AIRVET a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense) to host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, and share your User Content with a Provider or another vet that you designate, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels now known or hereafter developed. In addition, with respect to User Content that you submit for posting, you grant AIRVET a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense) to host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, and share your distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels now known or hereafter developed. If a Provider or another User requires access to your User Content, you grant those Providers or Users a non-exclusive license to access and use that User Content as permitted by these Terms and the functionality of the Service. You waive any moral rights which you might hold over User Content.

  5. FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS

    1. You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Current fees and billing terms for the Services will be as described by AIRVET prior to your use of the Services, and such fees and billing terms may be updated by AIRVET from time to time in its sole discretion. By providing AIRVET with your credit card number or other payment account and associated payment information, you agree that AIRVET is authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to AIRVET hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. AIRVET, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of AIRVET's customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.

    2. Membership Services that are Direct Memberships may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges for membership subscription services you purchase that automatically renew unless canceled. If you activate a subscription to a Membership Service under a Direct Membership, you authorize AIRVET to periodically charge the applicable subscription fees (“Membership Fees”), both at the start of the first subscription period and on a going-forward basis for each renewal period until cancellation of your Membership. The “Membership Billing Date” is the date when you first purchase the Membership Service. Your Membership Service subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your Membership Service subscription prior to the next Membership Billing Date. If you opt to purchase and pay for an upfront, annual subscription to a Membership Service, then AIRVET will send you notification of your upcoming renewal in advance of the Membership Billing Date. AIRVET will not send renewal notices for monthly subscription plans. You may cancel your Membership Service subscription for the next renewal period prior to the Membership Billing Date. Please note that, if you cancel a Membership Service subscription during the applicable Membership period, you will not receive any refunds or credits for that Membership period and you will remain liable to pay any additional associated fees. We will bill the periodic Membership Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). You may cancel the Membership Service subscription by contacting us at: support@airvet.com.

    3. You are entitled to a refund of your payment to AIRVET if (i) AIRVET encounters a technical issue which results in the inability of your Provider to complete a video consultation (this excludes device or internet connection issues on your end to access the video consultation or Service); or (ii) your Provider is unable to provide you with any information, guidance, or advice regarding your pet, as determined by AIRVET in its reasonable discretion.

    4. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact the AIRVET team as soon as possible by email to: support@airvet.com. We will then verify whether you are entitled to a refund and, if appropriate, complete the refund as soon as possible.

    5. All financial transactions will be processed in U.S. dollars. You acknowledge and agree that you shall be personally responsible for all incurred expenses. AIRVET reserves the right to modify or implement a new pricing structure at any time prior to billing you for your initial payment or for future payments due pursuant to these Terms of Service.

  6. SERVICES FOR ALL MEMBERS

    If you are a subscriber to any Membership Services, you will be subject to the terms of this Section 8 with respect to the Membership Services that are included in your subscription.

    1. MEMBERSHIP SERVICE FEATURES

      The features of your Membership Service subscription are available to you if your Account is active, whether you get access to your Membership Services through Direct Membership or through a Sponsored Membership. If you have a Direct Membership with AIRVET, your Membership Fees must be made continuously and without interruption. If you have a Direct Membership, and, if the payment method we have on file for you fails, you will lose access to your Membership Services. If you cancel your eligible Membership Service subscription, you will lose the right to use the Membership Services. If you have a Sponsored Membership, then you will lose access to your included Membership Services on the date that our arrangement with the third party provider or employee benefit plan ends for any reason.

    2. VIDEO CALLS SERVICE

      If your Membership Service includes access to AIRVET's video telehealth feature, then you are entitled to make an unlimited number of video calls to a licensed veterinarian on a 24/7 basis for both urgent and everyday health topics for all of your domestic, household pets. However, where unlimited Services are included within a Membership Subscription, these are subject to a fair usage as defined by Airvet and we reserve the right to limit your video call use without notice if we feel you are in breach of fair usage. You will have access to the same vet for 72 hours after each call. While the vet Provider that you talk to can't always prescribe medications due to state-based restrictions, he or she can answer questions and provide expert advice and recommendations from a licensed veterinarian.
    3. CHAT REQUESTS SERVICE

      If your Membership Service includes access to AIRVET's chat feature, then you are entitled to make an unlimited number of chat requests from within the App that will be responded to in the App by a member of our team of veterinary professionals (which may be a veterinarian or a veterinary technician) on a 24/7 basis for health questions about your dogs, cats and certain other common domestic, household pets. However, where unlimited Services are included within a Membership Subscription, these are subject to a fair usage as defined by Airvet and we reserve the right to limit your chat request use without notice if we feel you are in breach of fair usage. If your pet is a type of animal that our team of veterinary professionals is not experienced with, they may recommend that you initiate a video call with a Provider or see your local vet. Chat is only for use of non-life-threatening, non-urgent requests and basic health questions. Prescriptions and prescription refills cannot be filled through the chat feature.

  7. ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR USERS WHO PURCHASED AIRVET WITH EMERGENCY FUND PRIOR TO JULY 2023

    If you are a subscriber to Direct Membership Services prior to July 1, 2023, you will be subject to the terms of Section 8 with respect to the Membership Services that are included in your subscription in addition to the terms of Section 9 as listed below.

    EMERGENCY FUND SERVICE

    If your Membership Service includes access to AIRVET's US$3,000 pet medical emergency fund (the “Emergency Fund“), you will be subject to the rest of the terms of this Section 9. By purchasing or otherwise registering for a Membership Service that includes access to the Emergency Fund feature, you acknowledge and agree that:

    1. The Emergency Fund is only available for household dogs and cats. The Emergency Fund may not be used for farm animals or for any type of breeding activities. There is a 14-day mandatory wait period upon starting your Membership before the Emergency Fund is available to you (the “Wait Period”). In addition, should you add a new completed profile for an additional eligible pet during the term of your qualifying subscription, there is an additional 14-day mandatory Wait Period for that pet, starting on the date that you complete their profile. If one of AIRVET's Emergency Fund team members determines your otherwise eligible pet is having a life-threatening emergency and needs immediate care before the expiration of the Wait Period, you will not be able to use the Emergency Fund. You will also be subject to the Wait Period again if you cancel and reactivate your Account. The Emergency Fund is not insurance but is here to help if an unexpected life-threatening emergency occurs.

    2. If you suspect your pet is having an imminent and immediate life-threatening emergency and needs immediate care, you must alert our AIRVET emergency team by requesting them via our AIRVET mobile application and have your pet assessed to see if your pet qualifies to use the Emergency Fund. All emergencies must be assessed and authorized by one of our Emergency Fund team members through the App. You can download the mobile application through this link if needed here. 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 Emergency Fund team members as set forth above.

      Examples of life-threatening emergencies that can be confirmed by our AIRVET Emergency Team, based on the signs or symptoms that your pet is exhibiting can include, but are not limited to:

      • Severe toxic ingestions
      • Choking
      • Difficulty breathing
      • Severe intestinal and urinary blockages
      • GDV (bloat) requiring emergency surgery
      • Life threatening emergencies arising from pre-existing chronic diseases, such as an episode of hypoglycemia in a diabetic patient
      • Venomous snake bites
      • Seizures lasting more than a few minutes
      • Severe internal injuries
      • Life-threatening external injuries

      If authorized by a member of AIRVET's Emergency Fund team for coverage, the emergency fund will cover:

      • Diagnostics to evaluate the pet's condition (e.g. x-rays, ultrasounds, lab work).
      • Immediate procedures required to save the pet's life. This can include CPR, life-saving surgery, or other immediately necessary procedures.
      • In the event that the hospital vet determines that your pet does not require life-saving care, AIRVET will still cover the exam and diagnostic tests but not other treatments that are not considered lifesaving.
      • If we cover the diagnostics and anything is paid out, that is the annual one-time use of your fund. Any remaining funds cannot be carried forward or rolled over.

      Note: This list is not exhaustive. All emergencies will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by one of AIRVET's Emergency Fund team members. The assessment by an AIRVET emergency fund team member , is a good faith judgment, based upon the limited data available, about whether your pet meets the criteria to be able to utilize the Emergency Fund for your pet. The Emergency Fund only pays for the initial life-saving emergency care. All other follow-up care is the responsibility of the owner.

      It is at the sole discretion of one of our Emergency Fund team members to determine whether or not your pet qualifies for the fund based on our assessment of the emergency status of your pet. Each pet is unique and each assessment will be on a case-by-case basis. The assessment of the AIRVET Emergency Fund team member is not a substitute for exercising your judgment about when to seek care and it is not veterinary care for your pet. You agree that you are solely responsible for the decision about when and where to seek care. You can use any veterinary clinic within the United States or Canada (excluding Quebec Province) for care authorized for payment from the Emergency Fund.

    3. Emergency Fund Payment process: If your use of the Emergency Fund is authorized, you will be provided instructions for the vet clinic which explain AIRVET's payment methods. Once you have checked your pet into the hospital, please show the veterinary clinic employee the instructions sent by chat or email to inform them of how the payment process works. Once you have received your final invoice, the veterinary clinic will need to email the final invoice copy, as well as any medical notes directly to emergency@airvet.com for review for payment. Once reviewed, an Emergency Fund team member will complete payment to the treating veterinary clinic only over the phone for up to US$3000. If there is a balance over the AIRVET payment, you will be responsible for any remaining payments required.
    4. The Emergency Fund only pays for the initial life-saving 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, or any other ancillary costs, such as burial, cremation or memorabilia.
    5. The Emergency Fund is restricted to a maximum of an one-time annual pay-out in an amount not to exceed US$3,000 per year, regardless of the amount of the cost of an emergency or your number of eligible pets or the number of emergencies per year. In other words, you are only entitled to access the Emergency Fund one time during each year of your Membership Service, even if the emergency is less than the US$3,000 limit. Since the EF only pays out once per year, even if you start a new membership or cancel and start a new membership, you will still have to wait a year to be eligible for another payout.
    6. You have up to a maximum of 4 hours to check your pet into the nearest emergency clinic or other veterinary clinic of your choice after being authorized by an Emergency Fund team member. If you exceed the 4-hour check in period to be able to use the Emergency Fund, no funds will be released for your pet's care.
    7. You will not qualify for the Emergency Fund if our designated network veterinary clinicians 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.
    8. The Emergency Fund covers up to 6 of your domestic cats and dogs ONLY. 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. The Emergency Fund is a feature of an eligible Membership in accordance with these terms and is not a form of pet insurance.
    9. You can take your pet to any veterinary clinic located within the United States or Canada (excluding the province of Quebec). The Emergency Fund does not cover any out of office/home visit care provided by a veterinary clinic. You agree that any refunds from a veterinary clinic for Emergency Fund payments paid by AIRVET will be paid to AIRVET. If your veterinary clinic requires a deposit, you are responsible for paying it. AIRVET does NOT pay deposits for estimates of veterinary care. If you are required to pay a deposit by your veterinary clinic, you are responsible for obtaining any refunds due to you directly from your veterinary clinic after AIRVET pays them directly for any authorized emergency treatments which may include all (or part) of the deposit you paid for upfront.
    10. The Emergency Fund is non-transferable to other parties and their pets and Emergency Fund payments are non-transferable to the Pet Owner.
    11. To avoid confusion about what might be a life threatening emergency, we have listed some examples of things that are never covered.

      What Isn't Covered/ Emergency Fund Exclusions:

      • Emergencies that occur prior to the conclusion of the 14-day waiting period.
      • Emergencies where you have not checked in to a veterinary clinic within 4 hours of your AIRVET assessment and/or have not had a live face-to-face video call with AIRVET to determine if it is an emergency or not.
      • Care not provided in a veterinary clinic. Out of office/home visit care is not covered.
      • Emergencies caused by your neglect or failure to seek timely care.
      • The fund cannot be used to pay a pet insurance policy deductible or copay. Check with your pet insurance provider about combining different policies.
      • Non-life threatening care or any medical procedures unrelated to an emergency approved by an AIRVET Emergency Fund vet in your virtual assessment. See exclusions list below:
        • For example: If your dog is hit by a car, AIRVET will recommend emergency treatment and will cover diagnostics, but if it turns out that they only broke a leg bone, but are not in an immediate life threatening situation, the fund will cover the diagnostics (X-ray, lab work), but not the care required for the broken leg bone (Surgery, medications, post-op care).

      ADDITIONAL EXCLUSIONS:

      • Diagnostics unrelated to the emergency lifesaving care/treatment
      • Preventative or routine care (e.g. annual exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, deworming, etc.), appointments related to pre-existing conditions, or scheduled surgery
      • Post-operative care and continued hospitalization after emergency surgical procedure, take home medications or follow up care after the emergency visit
      • Eye, ear or skin problems, chronic abscesses or tumors
      • Dental problems, cleaning and routine procedures related to oral health
      • Limping or paralysis and/or the inability to walk due to a problem with an intervertebral disc, spinal problem, trauma, or neoplasia
      • Chemotherapy or radiation for any type of cancer, tumor, or neoplasia
      • Genetic testing, organ transplants, prosthetic limbs and devices
      • Illness that could be prevented by vaccination (e.g., Parvo, distemper, lepto). If you have a pet that has been vaccinated, please contact the vaccine company to discuss treatment and care costs.
      • Spay, neuter, breeding, pyometra, prostatitis, and/or pregnancy complications such as cesarean sections.
      • Costs for treatment of any type of influenza (avian, swine, or other mutant variation) or epidemics or pandemics as declared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture
      • Treatment for injury or illness caused by deliberate endangerment of the pet, including but not limited to organized fighting
      • Treatment as a result of neglect or abuse of the pet, including if one of our team members or providers have previously recommended immediate medical care and they failed to comply with the medical
      • recommendation.
      • THC, Marijuana or CBD Toxicity
      • Cremation, burial, or memorabilia costs
      • Boarding and daycare, ambulance to transport pet, or grooming (toe nail trims, etc.)
      • Emergencies in which the pet parent did not check into a veterinary clinic within 4 hours of their AIRVET assessment

      Note: This list is not exhaustive. All emergencies will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by an AIRVET Emergency Fund team member.

    12. In order to gain access to your Emergency Fund, we require completed profiles for all of your eligible pets with their name, age, weight, breed, and a clear photo and you must be authorized by one of AIRVET's Emergency Fund team members. If any of this information is missing, you will not have access to your Emergency Fund for that pet.
    13. In the event that you attempt to contact the Emergency Fund Team to discuss use of the Fund but we are unable to reach you, the Emergency Fund Team member will make two attempts to call you. If we receive no response, we will make two attempts to reach you through the chat feature on the AIRVET application. If we receive no response within 60 minutes of the second chat being sent, your use of the Emergency Fund for that request will be denied.
  8. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, OR LINKS FOUND AT ANY OTHER WEBSITE, INTERNET LOCATION, OR SOURCE OF INFORMATION, NOR FOR YOUR USE OF SUCH INFORMATION, SOFTWARE OR LINKS, NOR FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY SUCH WEBSITES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OPERATORS.

    AIRVET may provide tools through the Services that enable you to export information to third party services, including through features that allow you to link your account on the Service with an account on the third party service, such as Twitter or Facebook, or through our implementation of third party buttons (such as “like” or “share” buttons). By using one of these tools, you agree that AIRVET may transfer that information to the applicable third party service. Third party services are not under AIRVET's control, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, AIRVET is not responsible for any third party service's use of your exported information. The Service may also contain links to third party websites. Linked websites are not under AIRVET's control, and AIRVET is not responsible for their content.

  13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; RELEASE

    YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. AIRVET EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, OPERABILITY, CONDITION, VALUE, ACCURACY OF DATA, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, RELIABILITY OF PERFORMANCE AND FREEDOM FROM ERRORS, VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

    You acknowledge and agree that AIRVET does not provide veterinary medicine advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is strictly a technology platform and infrastructure for connecting pet owners with independent third-party Providers, including veterinarians and other veterinary professionals in the AIRVET network. You acknowledge and agree that the Providers using the Services are solely responsible for and will have complete authority, responsibility, supervision, and control over the provision of all veterinary medicine services, advice, instructions, treatment decisions, and other veterinary health care services performed, and that all diagnoses, treatments, procedures, and other veterinary health care services will be provided and performed exclusively by or under the supervision of the Providers, in their sole discretion, as they deem appropriate.

  14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AIRVET OR ITS SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE. AIRVET'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO AIRVET THAT WERE RETAINED BY AIRVET (AFTER REMITTING AMOUNTS DUE TO PROVIDERS) IN THE ONE (1) YEAR IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE OCCURRENCE OF LOSS OR DAMAGE. To the extent that we may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of our liability will be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.

  15. INDEMNIFICATION

    You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIRVET, its shareholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claim, actions, demands, liabilities and settlements, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees (“Claims”), resulting from, or alleged to result from, your violation of these Terms of Service. In addition, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless your Provider(s) from and against any third-party Claims resulting from your lack of adherence with the advice or recommendation(s) of such Provider.

    AIRVET reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of AIRVET. AIRVET will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

  16. GEOGRAPHICAL RESTRICTIONS

    AIRVET makes no representation that all products, services and/or material described on the Services, are appropriate or available for use in locations outside, or all territories in, the United States and Canada. The Service is not intended for distribution or use in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject AIRVET to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.

  17. DISCLOSURES

    All veterinarians on the Service present evidence of a professional license upon initially being permitted to use the Services. However, the Service does not monitor the compliance by Providers with licensing requirements. Professional licenses are issued by the professional veterinary licensing boards in the states, provinces, or territories where the Providers practice. You may report a complaint relating to services provided by a Provider by contacting the professional veterinary licensing board in the state, provinces or territories where the services were received.

  18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

    1. Generally

      In the interest of resolving disputes between you and AIRVET in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 20.2 and 20.3, you and AIRVET agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND AIRVET ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    2. Exceptions

      Despite the provisions of Section 20.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
    3. Opt-Out

      If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 20 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to AIRVET, INC., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 9190 W Olympic Blvd #422 Beverly Hills, CA 90212 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Services, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“ Opt-Out Notice”). Once AIRVET receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 19 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 20. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
    4. Arbitrator

      Any arbitration between you and AIRVET will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting AIRVET. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    5. Notice of Arbitration; Process

      A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). AIRVET's address for Notice is: AIRVET, INC., 9190 W Olympic Blvd #422 Beverly Hills, CA 90212. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or AIRVET may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or AIRVET must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by AIRVET in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, AIRVET will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) US$10,000.
    6. Fees

      If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, AIRVET will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles, California, but if the claim is for $US10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse AIRVET for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
    7. No Class Actions

      YOU AND AIRVET AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and AIRVET agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision

      If AIRVET makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to AIRVET's address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to AIRVET's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with AIRVET will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
    9. Enforceability

      If Section 20.7 or the entirety of this Section 20 is found to be unenforceable, or if AIRVET receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 20 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 21 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
  19. MISCELLANEOUS

    You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent.

    No waiver by AIRVET of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of AIRVET to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal 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 of Service will continue in full force and effect.
