Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 1, 2026
Last Updated: May 23, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PetSpot Network, including petspot.ai, vetnearme.ai, petfuel.ai, petadoption.ai, petmall.ai, and any future sites we may add (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are operated by PetSpot Network ("PetSpot," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.


1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are between 13 and 18, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.


2. Your Account

One account, all sites. Your PetSpot account provides access across all ecosystem sites through centralized single sign-on. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.

Accuracy. You agree to provide accurate, current information when creating your account and adding pet profiles. Inaccurate health or profile information may result in AI responses that are less useful or appropriate.

Security. Notify us promptly at support@petspot.ai if you believe your account has been compromised. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized use of your credentials.


3. Membership Tiers and Billing

Tier features, pricing, and limits are described on our Pricing page and may change. We will provide notice of material changes.

Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual cycle through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from Account Settings. Upon cancellation:

  • Your account remains active at the Explorer (free) tier.
  • You retain access to your data, pet profiles, and uploaded documents.
  • Features associated with your paid tier become unavailable at the end of your current billing period.
  • No refunds are issued for partial billing periods.

Changes to Pricing

We may change pricing for paid tiers with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes apply at your next billing cycle. If you do not agree with a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.


4. AI Services — Important Limitations

Not Professional Advice

The AI-powered features of our Services, including Spot's responses across all ecosystem sites, are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute:

  • Veterinary medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • Veterinary nutritional counseling
  • Legal advice regarding pet adoption, custody, or liability
  • A guarantee of pet temperament, behavior, or compatibility

No Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship. Use of the Services does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) between you and PetSpot or any affiliated provider. PetSpot is a technology company, not a veterinary practice. No licensed veterinarian is examining your pet through the Services.

Always consult a licensed veterinarian for your pet's health concerns. In an emergency, contact your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately — do not rely solely on AI triage.

Not for Emergencies. The Services are not monitored in real time and are not intended for emergency communications or emergency response. If you believe your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, contact a licensed emergency veterinarian immediately. While our triage system is designed to flag emergency symptoms and recommend urgent care, it operates through automated AI processing and is not a substitute for calling an emergency clinic.

Triage Guidance (VetNearMe.ai)

VetNearMe.ai provides AI-powered symptom assessment to help you gauge urgency. This is triage guidance, not diagnosis. The system is designed to err on the side of caution and recommend professional care when in doubt. You acknowledge that:

  • AI triage may miss symptoms, misinterpret descriptions, or assign incorrect urgency levels.
  • Triage guidance is not a replacement for in-person veterinary examination.
  • Emergency recommendations should always be treated seriously and acted upon promptly.

Nutrition Guidance (PetFuel.ai)

Nutrition plans and feeding recommendations are generated by AI and are general in nature. Pets with medical conditions (kidney disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, allergies, etc.) should follow a diet prescribed by their veterinarian. Do not change your pet's diet based solely on AI recommendations without consulting your vet.

Adoption Matching (PetAdoption.ai)

Adoption match suggestions are based on information you provide about your lifestyle and preferences. We do not guarantee the accuracy of shelter-provided animal profiles. We do not guarantee temperament, behavior, or compatibility of any animal. Always meet an animal in person and discuss its history with the shelter before adopting.

AI Accuracy

AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. We work to improve accuracy continuously, but we make no warranty that AI responses are complete, current, or correct. You are responsible for verifying important information and making your own informed decisions.


5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Services for any unlawful purpose.
  • Provide false or misleading information in your account or pet profiles.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services, other user accounts, or our systems.
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Services without our written permission.
  • Use automated means to systematically collect, scrape, or build datasets from AI-generated responses or platform content.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Services or servers.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of our AI systems or proprietary technology.
  • Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Services or AI-generated content without our permission.
  • Use the Services to generate content that is harmful, abusive, or in violation of any law.
  • Circumvent usage limits, rate limits, or entitlement restrictions associated with your tier.
  • Share your account credentials with others. Caregiver sharing is available on the Family Plan through designated sharing features, not credential sharing.
  • Use the Services in violation of applicable export control or sanctions laws.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Services at our discretion, including for misuse, abuse, security concerns, or behavior that may expose PetSpot or other users to harm or liability. Where practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue before termination, but we may act immediately where we reasonably believe there is a risk of harm, legal liability, or system integrity compromise.


6. Your Content

Ownership. You retain ownership of the content you submit to the Services, including pet profiles, uploaded documents, and conversation inputs.

License to us. By submitting content, you grant PetSpot a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, store, and display that content as necessary to provide and improve the Services. This includes processing your content through AI systems to generate responses.

Responsibility. You are responsible for the content you submit. Do not upload content you do not have the right to share, or content that contains sensitive information about other people without their consent.

Deletion. You can delete your content (pets, conversations, documents) at any time through the Services. Deletion is processed promptly, though content may persist in encrypted backups for a limited period.


7. Intellectual Property

Our property. The Services, including the Spot AI assistant, our software, design, branding, and all original content, are owned by PetSpot and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or proprietary technology.

AI-generated content. Responses generated by Spot in conversation with you are provided for your personal use. You may use AI-generated pet care guidance, nutrition plans, and other outputs for your own purposes, but you may not systematically extract or republish them.

Feedback. If you provide feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use them without obligation to you.


8. Third-Party Services and Links

Our Services integrate with or link to third-party services, including:

  • Stripe for payment processing
  • RescueGroups for adoptable pet data
  • Amazon and Chewy for affiliate product links (PetMall.ai)
  • Google Analytics for usage analysis

These third parties have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices or content. When you click an affiliate link on PetMall.ai and make a purchase, your transaction is with the retailer, not with PetSpot.

The PetSpot Network page may display ecosystem sites that are marked as "Coming Soon." These represent planned future services and do not constitute a promise or guarantee of availability.


9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

  • The Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
  • The Services or any specific feature will remain available indefinitely.
  • AI-generated responses will be accurate, complete, or appropriate for your situation.
  • Triage assessments will correctly identify the urgency of your pet's symptoms.
  • Nutrition, adoption, or product recommendations will be suitable for your specific pet.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PETSPOT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Pet Health. You acknowledge that PetSpot is a technology platform, not a veterinary provider. We are not liable for any harm to your pet resulting from reliance on AI-generated guidance. Veterinary decisions are your responsibility.


11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold PetSpot harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party's rights.


12. Modifications to the Services

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Services or preservation of any specific feature indefinitely. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice before discontinuing features that affect your paid subscription. If we discontinue a core feature of your paid tier, you may cancel for a prorated refund of prepaid fees.

Beta and Experimental Features

We may offer features labeled as "beta," "preview," "experimental," or similar designations. These features are provided on an as-is basis, may change or be removed without notice, and may not perform as expected. Your use of beta features is voluntary and at your own risk. Feedback you provide on beta features may be used to improve the Services without obligation to you.


13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
  • Notify you via email or a prominent notice within the Services.

Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with changes, you may close your account.


14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Binding Arbitration

You and PetSpot agree to resolve any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if eligible. Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties shall mutually select an alternative arbitration provider. Arbitration shall take place in Pennsylvania unless otherwise required by applicable law. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND PETSPOT AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to support@petspot.ai within 30 days of creating your account. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or prevent irreparable harm.


15. General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PetSpot regarding the Services.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms. We may assign our rights to a successor in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, internet outages, or third-party service failures.
