Certain products, programs and services on our Site (the “Products”) may have additional terms and conditions that apply (for example, if you subscribe to our Autoship subscription program, you also will be subject to the Autoship Terms and Conditions) and are incorporated in these Terms. If these Terms of Use are inconsistent with terms applicable to a certain product or service, those other terms will control.


BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE SITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THE TERMS AND TO ABIDE BY ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN. YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS SITE OR ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF USE UNLESS YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.


ARBITRATION NOTICE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE A LITTLE LATER ON. YOU AND JASPETS AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU AND JASPETS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.


Privacy Policy

Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of our Site and is incorporated in these Terms, to understand our practices.


Electronic Communications

When you use our Site, or send e-mails, text messages, use video calling and other communications from your desktop or mobile device to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, such as e-mails, texts, mobile push notices, or notices and messages on this Site, and you can retain copies of these communications for your records. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Where required by applicable law, we will seek express prior written consent for marketing text messages or calls to you.


Accounts

In order to use certain features of the Site and make purchases or use other services on the Site, you must register for an account with Jaspets ("Jaspets Account") and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the Site registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information and update it as necessary; and (c) your use of the Site does not violate any applicable law or regulation or these Terms.


You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Jaspets Account login information. You are fully responsible for all activities that are associated with your Jaspets Account (including but not limited to any purchases, posting reviews or other use of the Site). You agree to keep your username and password information confidential and not share it with anyone. You agree to immediately notify Jaspets of any unauthorized use or suspected unauthorized use of your Jaspets Account or any other actual or potential breach of security.


Products purchased from Jaspets on the Site are intended for use in the United States of America.  We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel your order if we think you are selling any Products purchased from our Site outside the United States.


Order Acceptance

The receipt of an order number or an email order confirmation does not constitute the acceptance of an order or confirmation of an agreement to sell. Jaspets reserves the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any item and/or to refuse service to any customer. Verification of information may be required prior to the acceptance of an order. Prices and availability of Products are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered and Jaspets reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission (including after an order has been submitted). Certain orders constitute improper use of the Site. Jaspets reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. Your Jaspets account may also be restricted or terminated for any reason, at Jaspets's sole discretion.


Risk of Loss and Shipping and Delivery

All items purchased from Jaspets are made pursuant to a shipment contract with a shipping carrier. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon delivery of the Products to the carrier. Products will be shipped to the address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and complies with any shipping


 restrictions contained on the Site. The time and location of delivery of the Products to you is at the discretion of the carrier.


Product Descriptions

Jaspets attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, Jaspets does not warrant that Product descriptions, depictions, colors, dimensions, ingredient lists or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. If a Product offered by Jaspets is not as described, your sole remedy is to return the Product. Call us at 1-800-672-4399 or send an email to service@jaspets.com for return information.


Reference Pricing

From time-to-time, we may provide additional value to customers by advertising a discount off a "List” price or "Was” price shown with a strikethrough. For example:


List: $13.99, Price $12.99


Was: $14.10, Price: $12.99


"List” price means the suggested retail price of a Product as provided by a manufacturer, supplier or other retailers (and with respect to RX products, veterinarians). It is not necessarily an actual price that was or is available elsewhere, either in the market generally or on the Site. 

"Was” price is determined using recent price history of the Product on the Site. In particular, we calculate the “Was” price based on pricing available for the Product on the Site during at least 30 of the 90 days before we advertise a “Was” price.

Pricing

Jaspets cannot confirm the price of an item until you submit an order. If you use Autoship, the price of an item will be set at the time the order is processed (see Autoship Terms and Conditions for more information). Despite our diligent efforts, it is possible that Products in our catalog may be mispriced. If the correct price of a Product is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel our order and notify you of such cancellation. By confirming your purchase at the end of the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the Products as well as all shipping and handling charges and applicable taxes. Jaspets will collect and remit sales tax as required by law.


Autoship

By selecting Autoship on eligible items on the Site, you agree to the Autoship Terms and Conditions applicable to our subscription ordering program.

Jaspets is not obligated to backup any User Content, makes no representation that it will do so, and you agree that Jaspets may delete User Content at any time.


By submitting your User Content or using it with the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Jaspets an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free and fully paid worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use your User Content, and to grant sublicenses of the foregoing, solely for the purposes of including your User Content in the Site, Jaspets social media platforms or marketing or promotional initiatives. You agree to irrevocably waive (and cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of publicity or moral rights, or attribution with respect to your User Content.


Jaspets will treat any feedback, communications, or suggestions you provide to Jaspets as non-confidential and non-proprietary subject to the limits of applicable law and our Privacy Policy. Thus, in the absence of a written agreement with Jaspets to the contrary, you agree that you will not submit to Jaspets any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.


Because we do not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content and we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content, and we assume no responsibility for any User Content. Your interactions with other Site users are solely between you and such user. You agree that Jaspets will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any Site user, we are under no obligation to become involved.

Respect for Copyright Law—Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”)

Jaspets respects the intellectual property of others and asks that users of our Site do the same. Except as authorized above, you are not permitted access or use of any of Jaspets's Intellectual Property without our prior written consent or the consent of such third party that may own intellectual property with respect to Products displayed on Site. In connection with our Site, Products, and any services we offer, we have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our Site who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed from our Site, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent:


  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
  3. identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;
  4. sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
  5. your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
  6. a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and
  7. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorneys' fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

Each time you use our Site, you should visit and review the then current terms and policies that apply to your transactions and use of our Site. If you do not agree to be bound by the then current terms and policies, your sole remedy is not to use our Site. If any provision of these Terms are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, any such term shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other terms.


Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.
