Last Revised:June 09, 2022

The following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) form a binding agreement between you and Destination Pet, LLC (“Destination Pet,” “we,” or “us”) regarding your use of the Destination Pet website (“Site”) or use of our Destination Pet mobile application (“Application”) and the services available on such platforms (collectively, “Services”), including any Content (as defined in Section 2, below). By accessing or using the Services in any manner (whether automated or otherwise), you: (a) acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference; and (b) affirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside), or that you are at least 13 years of age and have reviewed these Terms and Conditions with your parent or legal guardian and your parent or legal guardian agrees to these Terms and Conditions on your behalf and takes full responsibility for your compliance with them. If you are under 18 years of age, you understand that you cannot later void this agreement with Destination Pet as a minor without losing access to the Services and your parent or legal guardian being held responsible for your actions and any obligations you have incurred while accessing and using the Services as if you were an adult. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions or our Privacy Policy, do not use the Services.

These Terms and Conditions include an agreement to arbitration, which means that you agree to submit any dispute related to the Site, Application, Services, Terms and Conditions, and/or Privacy Policy to binding individual arbitration rather than proceeding in court, unless you opt out as described below. The dispute resolution provision also includes a class action waiver, which means that you agree to proceed with any dispute individually and not as part of a class action.

These Terms and Conditions also include a jury trial waiver.

16. Arbitration Agreement. This section affects your rights and impacts the way that you and we bring claims against each other and how those claims are decided.

 

16.1. Dispute Resolution. You and we agree that any dispute or claim relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and Conditions or your use of the Services and/or Content will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes any claims based on breach of contract, tort (for example, a negligence or product liability claim), violation of law, or any claims based on any other theory, and including those based on events that occurred prior to the date of this agreement, with the following exceptions:

  • You may assert claims in your local small claims court if permissible under the small claims court’s rules;
  • Any claim regarding the validity, protection, or enforcement of a party’s intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights) must be brought in court; and
  • In the event this agreement to arbitrate is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any dispute or claim against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located in Denver, Colorado, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for such purposes. You and we also consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for purposes of any claim regarding the validity, protection, or enforcement of a party’s intellectual property rights (excluding its privacy or publicity rights). You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, including its procedural provisions, in all respects.

 

16.2. Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. Class actions, class arbitrations, and any other representative actions are not permitted; you and we may bring a claim only in each of our individual capacities. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual part seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then all of Section 16, other than subsection 16.8, will be null and void and neither of us shall be entitled to arbitrate our dispute.

 

16.3. Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by these Terms and Conditions. The AAA Rules may be accessed at www.adr.org. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity and must enforce the same limitations stated in these Terms and Conditions as a court would. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the judgment and any award.

 

16.4. Demand for Arbitration. A party who intends to arbitrate (“Claimant”) must first send to the other party (“Respondent”) a written notice, entitled “Demand for Arbitration” (“Demand”). The Demand must: (a) briefly explain the dispute; (b) provide the Claimant’s name and address, (and if you are the Claimant, your telephone number and e-mail address associated with your Destination Pet account); (c) specify the amount of money in dispute, if applicable; and (d) include a statement of what relief or resolution is being sought. The Claimant must send one copy of the Demand to AAA at the same time the Claimant sends the Demand to the Respondent. When sending a copy of the Demand to AAA, the Claimant must also include a copy of this arbitration provision and any amendments to the provision (see Section 16.7) and the then-current filing fee required by the AAA. The Demand must be sent to the AAA at the following address:

American Arbitration Association
Case Filing Services
1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100
Voorhees, NJ 08043

Alternatively, the Demand may be filed with the AAA online using: AAA WebFile: www.adr.org. Any Demand to Destination Pet should be addressed to: Destination Pet, ATTN: General Counsel, 8822 S. Ridgeline Blvd. #260, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129.

16.5. Filing, Administration and Arbitrator Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Section 16. If the value of the relief sought is U.S. $10,000 or less and you timely submitted your Demand, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, but not your attorneys’ fees. Any request for payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees by Destination Pet should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand and Destination Pet will make arrangements to pay all such necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the arbitrator determines that the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Destination Pet on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules.

 

16.6. Opt-Out Procedure. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration provisions in this Section 16, you must notify Destination Pet in writing within 30 days of the date that you accept these Terms and Conditions for the first time. You may opt out by mailing a written notice to Destination Pet at the address in Section 20. Your written notification must include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number and Destination Pet Customer ID number and include a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Destination Pet through arbitration. If you opt out of arbitration, all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall continue to apply.

 

16.7. Amendment to Arbitration Provisions. Without exception, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to the arbitration provisions in this Section 16 in the future (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided in these Terms and Conditions), that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Destination Pet prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us. We will notify you of amendments to the arbitration provisions of this Section 16 by posting the amended terms on www.destinationpet.com/terms-and-conditions/, and/or by providing notice to you by email, at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you must close your account with Destination Pet and delete the Application from your Mobile Device within the 30-day period. If you fail to close your account and delete the Application from your Mobile Device within the 30-day period, you will be bound to the amended terms.

 

16.8. Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Destination Pet each unconditionally waive any right to a jury trial. This means that any claim will be decided by a judge, not a jury. Regarding any claim that proceeds in court, you and we agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, or representative, or private attorney general action or proceeding.

 

17. Termination. You may terminate your Destination Pet account at any time by deleting the Application from your Mobile Device(s) and ceasing all use of the Services. Destination Pet may suspend or terminate your access to your account and your use of the Services at any time for any reason without notice and in its sole discretion. If we suspend or terminate your account for cause, such suspension or termination may be due to: (a) your violation of these Terms and Conditions; (b) requests or orders by law enforcement or other agencies; (c) your request; (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Services, in whole or in part; (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems; and/or (f) extended period of inactivity. Under no circumstances will Destination Pet be liable to you or any third party for any suspension or termination of your account or these Terms and Conditions. Upon termination of your account for any reason, these Terms and Conditions shall terminate as an agreement between you and Destination Pet; however, all provisions which by their nature should survive will survive, including indemnity obligations, warranty disclaimers, dispute resolution, and limitations of liability.

 

18. Notice Regarding Apple. The following additional terms and conditions apply to use of the Application on an Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) iOS-powered Mobile Device. You and Destination Pet acknowledge that these Terms and Conditions are concluded between you and Destination Pet only, and not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Application or the content within the Application. You agree that your license to use the Application is limited to the Apple iOS Mobile Device that you own or control and that your use of the Application shall be governed by the usage rules set forth in Apple’s then-current App Store Terms of Service. You and Destination Pet acknowledge that Apple shall have no obligation to provide maintenance and support services with respect to the Application. In the event of any failure of the Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may contact Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Application to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application, and Apple will not be responsible for any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure of the Application to conform to any warranty. You and we acknowledge that Apple shall have no responsibility for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Application or your possession and/or use of the Application, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation. If a third party claims that the Application or your possession and use of the Application infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, Apple is not responsible for the investigation defense, settlement or discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is governed by a United States government embargo, or that has been designated by the United States government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable third party terms of agreement when using the Application. You and we agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms and Conditions.
