No Veterinary Medical Advice 

The Site may allow you to connect remotely with veterinarians and veterinary technicians (“Veterinary Professionals”), and/or to interact with a chatbot, to get answers to general pet care questions and information that may help you decide whether it is prudent to seek immediate in-person veterinary attention. Your use of these features, and the information you receive from the Veterinary Professionals and/or chatbot, does not create a veterinary-client patient relationship, is not a substitute for an in-person visit with a veterinarian, and is not intended to provide a specific diagnosis or treatment plan for your pet. 

The Wildest does not practice veterinary medicine, veterinary technician services, or any other licensed profession, nor does the Wildest interfere with the practice of veterinary medicine, veterinary technician services, or any other licensed profession by the Veterinary Professionals, each of whom is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES RELATED TO ANY VETERINARY MEDICAL ADVICE PROCURED THROUGH THE SITE. 

Your electronic (including audio and video) and phone communications with the Veterinary Professionals are not confidential or privileged.

Delaware Law Governs The Agreement 

This Agreement will be governed by and construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its conflicts or choice of law principles.  You irrevocably submit and consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.  

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver 

You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Site, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Site, including any subscription arrangement, or to any aspect of your relationship with The Wildest, will be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify.  Arbitration shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to the then-current AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol, which you can find here:  https://www.adr.org/consumer.  All disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated either by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions, including affidavits, and will not involve any personal appearances by parties or witnesses unless you and we agree otherwise. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. You and The Wildest will each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees in the event of a dispute, provided, however, that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees to the extent permitted by applicable law or under applicable arbitration rules. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision and arbitrability of any dispute, shall be determined by the arbitrator. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this section is intended to limit the relief available to either you as an individual or The Wildest in arbitration or small claims court, including equitable relief that an arbitrator may be required to make available by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only in the state and federal courts of Delaware: (i) any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to or contesting the validity of our or one of our family company’s intellectual property rights and proprietary rights, including without limitation, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or trade secrets; (ii) an action by us for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief; (iii) any legal action by us against a non-consumer; and (iv) interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities.  

YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS OR THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLAIMS OR DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this limitation on class proceedings as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.   

You shall have thirty (30) days from the earliest of the date that you visit the Site, make a purchase, or submit information through the Site to opt out of this arbitration provision and class action waiver, by contacting us by email at privacy@effem.com. If you do not opt out by the earliest of the date that you visit the Site, make a purchase or submit information through the Site, then you are not eligible to opt out.

In the event there is a conflict between the non-privacy related terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy and this Agreement, the terms and conditions in this Agreement shall govern.     

This Is The Entire Agreement 

This Agreement and any hyperlinked policies and procedures constitute the entire agreement between you and The Wildest and supersede all prior agreements, both oral and written, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.  

Term, Termination, and Survival 

This Agreement is effective at the moment you first access or use the Site and continues in full force until terminated by you or us.  We may also Terminate the Agreement for any other reason, and at any time.  

The provisions of this Agreement related to our intellectual property rights, User Content, acceptable use, disclaimer of warranties, indemnity, limitation and liability, and dispute resolution, including the class action waiver, and any other rights and obligations which are by their nature intended to survive termination, will survive any termination of this Agreement. 

Waiver and Severability 

Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of our right to enforce them. 

If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term or provision will be deemed not to be part of this Agreement. 

Assignment Of Rights And Obligations 

You may not assign, transfer, or sell your rights or obligations under this Agreement, nor delegate your duties under this Agreement to any other person, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without our consent will be void and will constitute a breach of this Agreement. We may assign this Agreement or delegate or subcontract our obligations under this Agreement at any time.
