Terms & Conditions

Close

You must read these Terms carefully before using PawSquad services as they set out the basis on which we provide services to you. If you are unhappy with or do not agree with these Terms then you must exit the PawSquad platform and cancel any appointment.

WE DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO CLAUSE 12 “LIABILITY” AS THIS LIMITS OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ALLEGED LOSSES IN USING OUR SERVICES IF THINGS GO WRONG.

1. INTRODUCTION

a. Pawz Limited, company number 08402231, registered address is The Chocolate Factory, Keynsham, Bristol, B531 2AU trading as PawSquad (“Company”, “PawSquad”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website at www.pawsquad.com and other related sites and mobile applications (“Apps”) (collectively, the “Sites”) and operates the PawSquad online consultation service (the “Service”).

b. Certain Services are free, while other Services require payment.

c. The Service is not an emergency service, it is to be used for general advice only and is not intended to replace a physical examination by a veterinarian. If you think you need emergency assistance, you should take your pet to the nearest emergency veterinary practice.

d. You must not use the Service to seek medical advice for an animal that is unconscious, not breathing or gasping for air, experiencing an allergic reaction, uncontrollably bleeding, or showing any symptoms that require urgent veterinary attention. In a life-threatening emergency, you must take your pet to the nearest emergency veterinary practice immediately.

e. The information and views provided by the Pet Professionals through the Services are those of the individual Service Provider that you are obtaining information from and not necessarily the views of the Company, its Members, Managers, Consultants, other veterinarians, employees, agents, advertisers or affiliates. All information obtained directly or indirectly from the Service is provided at your own risk.

f. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of the Sites and the Services, and by accessing, registering to use or using any part of the Sites or the Service, or by downloading the Apps, you are deemed to have accepted and agree to be bound by these Terms in full.

g. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you must leave the Sites, not register to use the Service and not download or delete the App (as appropriate) immediately.

h. By agreeing to these Terms, you warrant and represent that you are at least the age of majority in your country of residence.

i. We may need to revise these Terms, including the Charges in clause 3, at any time. We will do this by updating this posting. Where you have registered an Account (as defined in clause 9 below), we will try to notify you by email or when you next log in to your Account. In any event, you should check the Sites from time to time to review the then current Terms and Charges, because they are binding on you. If you do not agree to any changes, you must leave the Sites, delete the App(s), terminate your Account (in accordance with clause 6 below) and stop using the Service immediately.

2. THE SERVICE

a. Through the Sites, we operate the Service, which allows you to obtain information, guidance and/or advice from a range of animal health professionals (“Pet Professionals”). More information about the Service can be found at www.pawsquad.com.

b. In certain circumstances the Pet Professionals may consider that your pet’s problems are best addressed other than through the Service and they may suggest that you should seek advice elsewhere, online or in person.

c. As part of the Service, you will provide us with brief written details of the issue you would like to discuss (a “Request”), information about your pet including details of any medical history and the contact details for Your usual vet and hereby give permission for PawSquad to contact them to request Your pet’s medical records. You hereby acknowledge and accept the limitations and risks of providing information relating to a pet that has not had a physical examination.

d. You accept that we may only provide the Services in accordance with these Terms if you provide us with all the information we need. Therefore, you must:

v. report any adverse or unexpected effects of treatments to us;

vi. keep any medicines we or the Pet Professionals give you securely and do not allow others (especially children) to use them;

vii. tell us if any of our information about you is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete; and

viii. use our services only for yourself and your pets;

e. We rely on an accurate record of your use of Service in order to do this. You must not register more than once for our Service.

f. By submitting a Request, you agree to pay the associated Charge for the service requested and any Additional Charges in accordance with clause 3 below and confirm that you are the owner of the pet in question or that you have the authority of the owner or other appropriate authority to use the Service in relation to that pet and to disclose the details of that pet through the Service.

g. Your Request will be made available to the next available Pet Professional, who will review the Request and confirm a consultation as soon as possible. Most consultations are instant connections and do not require an appointment. Certain more specialised services do require you to make an appointment in advance, in which case you may select a time slot and pay in advance if payment is necessary.

h. During the consultation, the Pet Professional will discuss with you and assess your pet’s needs and, if possible, provide you with information, guidance and/or advice.

i. If the Pet Professional is able to provide any information, guidance and/or advice, they will then send you a follow-up written report summarising what they have told you.

j. You should never disregard medical advice received from your primary veterinarian(s) or delay seeking advice from a veterinarian(s) because of information provided to You by a Pet Professional or that is otherwise provided to You through the Sites and/or the Services.

k. You acknowledge that if Your pet needs immediate medical attention that You should and will promptly take Your pet to the nearest emergency veterinary facility, in many cases recommended by your Pet Professional.

l. You agree that no Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship (“VCPR”) is established in connection with the Site and as such, you acknowledge that it is not possible for pet professionals to prescribe prescription-only medicines. You agree that a VCPR can only be established following an in-person consultation with a qualified and registered veterinarian as dictated by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Code of Professional Conduct.

m. You may not record, in whole or in part, any chat conversation or video call with a Pet Professional.

3. PARTNER SCHEMES

a. You may also have access to the Service through a partner organisation of PawSquad, such as through your pet insurance policy with your insurer (“Insurance Scheme”), or an organisation membership benefit scheme with organisations like retailers (“Membership Scheme”).

b. Where you are receiving the Services through a “Partner Scheme” provided by a “Partner” of PawSquad, your right to use the Service shall also be subject to and in accordance with the rules of the Partner Scheme.

c. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between these Terms and the rules of the Partner Scheme these Terms shall take precedence.

4. PET PROFESSIONALS

a. We screen all of the Pet Professionals to ensure that you get the best possible information, guidance and advice available in the circumstances but, due to the nature of the field in which we operate and the services we facilitate, we cannot guarantee that any of the information, guidance or advice you may receive will achieve any specific results.

b. Some of the Pet Professionals are licensed professionals and/or members of a regulated profession (such as registered veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses) and are bound by laws, regulations and codes of conduct that may, in certain circumstances, prevent them from being able to offer you specific guidance or advice or a formal diagnosis through the consultation Service. In those circumstances, the Pet Professional will let you know and will advise you on the most appropriate course of action to get the help that you and your pet need.

c. Any information, guidance or advice provided by the Pet Professionals will be based on the information that you provide to them in your Request and during the consultation, and their observations during the consultation. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that all the information that you provide is complete and accurate, to the best of your knowledge.

d. The information, guidance and/or advice that you receive through the consultation Services will be based on the specific information that you provide through the consultation Services (including in your Request). As such, it may not be applicable generally or in relation to any other animal and you should not apply the information, guidance or advice you receive to any animal other than the pet in question, without the explicit confirmation from the relevant Pet Professional.

e. At the end of each consultation, you will be given the opportunity to provide a review of the Pet Professional who conducted the consultation. Your review will be used for our internal quality control purposes and we may (and you agree that we may) disclose your review to the relevant Pet Professional if we consider it necessary to properly address any issue you raise. Your review may also be disclosed publicly on our Sites or any marketing materials and in such circumstances your first name may also be disclosed, though not your surname.

5. CHARGES, CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

a. Consultations booked via the platform with the Pet Professionals will incur a charge.

b. The fee applicable for each consultation type (the “Charge”) will be clearly shown before payment is taken. Consultations typically last around 15-30 minutes depending on the consultation type but you will not be asked to pay more if your consultation runs over this time. However, if you have multiple concerns, multiple pets or if the input of a different Pet Professional is advised, you may be asked to have a separate consultation for these.
