Alongside with Findster Duo+, we provide a Findster Membership – Care - that provides exclusive access to an AI-powered Vet. Findster Care uses AI-provided data to allow detailed pet behavior analysis by real vets, potentially enabling early detection of illness. Your use of the Findster Care Membership (“Care Membership”) is governed by the Findster Terms of Service, which incorporate these Findster Care Membership Terms (“Care Membership Terms”).
By purchasing a Care Membership, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions:
The Care Membership provides access to personalized insights that help you ensure your pet is healthy. The Care Membership does not provide a nutritional, fitness, medical or other health care service. Although some Vets may be licensed practitioners, they do not provide professional services through the Care Membership. The Care Membership is intended to give you access to general guidance only and is not a substitute for professional medical consultation, advice or treatment by a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine who has actually examined the animal’s condition. Findster does not endorse any specific tests, or medical professional, products, procedures, opinions, or any other information that may be mentioned on the Care platform.
Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Care platform. If you believe your pet may have a medical emergency, call your veterinarian immediately.
The Care Membership allows you to connect with a Vet who will contact you or respond to your questions in order to provide support and
guidance in taking care of your pet. Vets may interact with you via in-app chat.
Provider Vets are subject to background checks and trained by Findster. They are contractually bound to keep your information
confidential and agree not to misuse information about you. Occasionally, a Vet’s availability may change, and we reserve the right to
remove them with or without notice to you. In the event that your Vet is no longer available, we will connect you with another one.
If a Vet engages in inappropriate behavior, please report it to us. When interacting with the Vet, you agree to be polite and avoid
engaging in inappropriate behavior.
You purchase a Care Membership in connection with a Findster Duo+ Kit on our website, giving you full and unlimited access to all content and features of Findster Service for as long as the Membership remains active.
The Membership is billed as a Subscription recur on a Monthly basis until canceled in accordance with these Care Membership Terms.
Once you complete your first Findster Duo+ setup, Findster will make available to you a 30-Days Free Trial. This Free Trial entitles you
access to the Care Service for a period of thirty (30) days from the moment that you finish the setup. The Monthly Subscription is activated
30 days after the end of the Free Trial, when Findster starts charging your designated payment method based on these Terms. The Monthly
Subscription activation will make available to you the access to the Findster Care Membership.
Recurring billing occurs at the beginning of the Subscription cycle and provides access for one month thereafter. By purchasing a Care
Membership, you agree to an initial 30-Days Free Trial and thereafter to recurring Monthly Subscription Fee at the then-current rate and
you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to the cancellation of your Subscription by you or Findster.
If the initial charge fails, we will make a second attempt 24 hours later and a third one 48 hours after the first device activation. If these
attempts fail, you will no longer have access to the Findster Care Membership and its designated features.
To terminate your Subscription, you must follow the instructions subject to the Terms of our cancellation “Termination Policy” described below.
By submitting your payment details, you consent us using your payment details in accordance with our Privacy Policy and acknowledge
and agree to the present Care Membership Terms of Service.
We use third-party payment services to process your credit card information. By submitting your credit card information, you grant
Findster the right to store and process your information with the third-party payment service, which may change from time to time; you
agree that Findster will not be responsible for any failure of the third party to adequately protect such information. All financial matters
regarding your information are subject to the conditions of the third-party payment service provider's Terms of Service. You acknowledge
that we may change the third-party payment service and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information
using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security technology.
The Care Membership is provided “as-is” without warranty of any kind. Without limiting the foregoing or any other Terms or Agreements you have with us, we explicitly disclaim all express or implied warranties arising out of the Care Membership, including any warranties of merchantability, quiet enjoyment or non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of the course of dealing or usage of trade. We make no warranty that the Care Membership will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure or error-free basis.
We make no endorsement, representation or warranty of any kind about any information on the Care Membership, whether provided to you by a Vet or any content available through the Care platform. We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, availability, effectiveness or correct use of information you receive via the Care Membership and we are not responsible for any health problems that may result from your reliance on the Care service.
We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms, any price changes or changes to your Care Membership will take effect following notice to you.
By you:
You may terminate your Care Membership and cancel your Subscription Plan at any time by sending an email to
caresupport@getfindster.com.
If you terminate your Subscription, you may use your Membership until the end of the then-current period but will not be renewed after that period expires.
At certain conditions, Findster may provide a refund, discount, or other credits to some users. The amount and form of such refunds and the decision to provide them are at Findster sole and absolute discretion. The provision of those refunds in one instance does not entitle you to be refunded in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide refunds in the future.
By us:
Subject to any applicable refund policies, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to certain aspects or all of the Care Membership, or to terminate these Care Membership Terms, at any time and in our sole discretion, without notice or liability to you thereof: (1) in order to comply with applicable laws, (2) if you provide any information that Findster determines, in its sole discretion, to be untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete (or if the information becomes untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete), (3) if Findster determines, in its sole discretion, that you are using your subscription in a manner not permitted by these Terms, or (4) in other circumstances, as Findster deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
Findster reserves the right to amend the Care Membership Terms of Service without notice and with immediate effect.
