12. Disclaimers Regarding Warranties.

(a) The Services and Content are supplied “as is” and carry no warranty whatsoever. To elaborate, we expressly disavow all implicit warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, suitability for a specific purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement, as well as any warranties that might have evolved through business dealings or trade usage. We do not promise that the Services will fulfill your needs, nor that they will be ceaseless, secure, or free from errors. Moreover, we offer no assurances regarding the quality, precision, punctuality, veracity, comprehensiveness, or dependability of any Content. The Content might include data about different medical conditions that could affect your pet. However, this data is strictly informational and must not be misconstrued as medical counsel.

(b) Any guidance provided by a veterinary expert is meant solely for aiding your decision-making (i.e., to support you in making veterinary medical choices). The Services are no replacement for a face-to-face assessment of your pet by a veterinary doctor. Interactions with veterinary professionals through the Services are inherently constrained and lack the usual precautions and processes typical of in-person assessments and consultations. Your utilization of the Services does not establish any client-professional relationship with us. Conversations with any professionals via the Services are not confidential and are not protected by any relevant privileges. The laws, norms, governing bodies, practices, and procedures applicable to your query or situation might vary based on location and data generally found through in-person assessments. The veterinary professionals accessible through the Services may have credentials, certifications, education, employment, or expertise that are limited to certain jurisdictions or domains.

(c) Otis is not a pharmacy. All medication prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner is fulfilled and shipped by Pet’s Choice Pharmacy, LLC, located at 814 K Street, Belleville KS 66935. PIC: Spencer Brown.

(d) IF YOU THINK YOUR PET IS HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, IMMEDIATELY SEEK PROPER EMERGENCY VETERINARY CARE. You accept sole accountability and bear all risks resulting from your use of the Services.

13. Indemnification. You agree to defend and protect Otis, its officers, directors, employees, and agents against any claims, disagreements, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, which include reasonable legal and accounting fees, that arise from or are in any way linked to your access to or use of the Services, your User Content, or your breach of these Terms.

14. Restrictions on Liability.

(a) Neither Otis nor any other party involved in the creation, production, or provision of the Services shall be held accountable for any incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, or damages for lost profits, revenues, savings, business opportunities, data, goodwill, service disruption, computer damage, system failure, or the cost of substitute services, whether arising from warranty, contract, tort, product liability, or any other legal theory, irrespective of whether Otis or any other party had been made aware of the possibility of such damage. In the event that a limited remedy herein is deemed to have not served its essential purpose, this clause still applies. Certain jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so this may not apply to you.

(b) In no case will Otis’s total liability related to these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services surpass the amounts you have paid to Otis for the use of the Services, or one hundred dollars ($100), if you have not had any payment obligations to Otis.

15. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms and any related actions will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of New York, disregarding its conflict of law provisions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in Section 17, “Dispute Resolution”, the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes that you and Otis are not obliged to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of New York (Albany Division), and both you and Otis renounce any objections to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

16. Resolving Disputes.

(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. It is agreed that any dispute, claim, or controversy emanating from or connected to these Terms, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or the use of the Services or Content (“Disputes”), will be resolved only by binding, individual arbitration, and not through a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. Both you and Otis consent that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and that both parties are waiving the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. This arbitration agreement will continue even after termination of these Terms.

(b) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 16(a) above: (i) both parties may attempt to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.

(c) Conduct of Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) as of that time, with modifications by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party initiating arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you reside, unless mutually agreed otherwise. The arbitrator shall have sole authority to decide all issues regarding the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement.

(d) Arbitration Costs. All filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we will not attempt to recover administration and arbitrator fees for which we are responsible, unless the arbitrator deems your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorney's fees and costs and will not attempt to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration, you are entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as stated in Section 17(b) above, the arbitrator will decide all liability issues based on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Issues regarding public injunctive relief, where the primary purpose is to prohibit unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public, must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. Litigation of public injunctive relief issues will be put on hold until the resolution of individual claims in arbitration.

(f) Class Action Waiver. Both YOU AND OTIS AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific clause is unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section will be null and void.

(g) Severability. Except for any of the provisions in Section 17(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of these Terms will remain in effect.

17. General Conditions.

(a) Entire Agreement. These Terms form the full and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Otis regarding the Services, replacing all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral. If a court or arbitrator finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions will remain in full effect. You cannot assign or transfer these Terms without Otis's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms without consent will be nullified. Otis can assign or transfer these Terms freely. These Terms will bind and benefit the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

(b) Notices. Otis may give notices or other communications under these Terms, including modifications to these Terms, through email or by posting on the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which the notice is sent.

(c) Waiver of Rights. Otis’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Otis. Exercising remedies under these Terms by either party will not prejudice its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
