5Scope of License

You must provide accurate business and verification information and keep it current. Colitas may request supporting documents at any time and may suspend or remove access if documentation is missing, expired, false, misleading, incomplete, or otherwise unsatisfactory.

17Marketplace Terms

Marketplace transactions may involve goods or services offered by third-party sellers or providers. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Colitas acts only as a technology platform and is not the manufacturer, distributor, vendor of record, shipper, or guarantor of third-party goods or services.

Sellers are responsible for product legality, descriptions, pricing, stock, delivery, warranties where applicable, and compliance with consumer protection, labeling, and product safety laws. Users are responsible for reviewing listings carefully before making a purchase.

18Adoption Terms

Colitas may facilitate contact between users and shelters, rescues, foster organizations, or other adoption providers. Colitas does not own, breed, house, medically assess, transport, or guarantee any animal listed for adoption unless expressly stated otherwise.

Adoption providers remain responsible for their own screening criteria, records, animal information, and final placement decisions. Users remain responsible for evaluating suitability, readiness, and compliance with applicable law before adopting an animal.

19Donation Terms

The Platform may allow users to make donations to shelters, rescues, or other causes. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Colitas acts as a technology intermediary for the donation flow and does not guarantee the recipient's use of donated funds beyond the information the recipient provides.

Donations are generally final and non-refundable except where required by law, expressly stated in the donation flow, or mandated by the relevant payment provider's rules.

20Payments, Fees, Commissions, and Refunds

Payments, subscriptions, commissions, settlements, refunds, and related processing may be handled by third-party providers designated by Colitas. By using paid features, you authorize the applicable charges, deductions, fees, and commissions disclosed through the Platform.

Colitas may charge commissions or service fees on certain transactions. Some categories, including specified shelter-related adoptions or donations, may be treated differently as described in the Platform. Payment processing fees, taxes, chargebacks, currency conversion costs, or other third-party charges may still apply.

Except where required by applicable law, app marketplace policy, payment provider rules, or an express Colitas policy, payments are final.

21Auto-Renewable Subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription through an app store or other billing channel, payment will be charged to the billing method linked to that account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal deadline set by the relevant billing provider.

You are responsible for managing or canceling subscriptions through the applicable app store or billing settings. Any free trial or promotional period may be forfeited if you purchase a subscription before that period ends.

22Communications, Information, and Emergencies

The Platform may include messaging, audio, video, or informational features involving professionals or other users. Unless expressly stated otherwise, these features do not create an emergency service, guaranteed response time, continuous professional duty, or in-person clinical relationship.

Any veterinary, educational, wellness, marketplace, or adoption-related information available through the Platform is provided for general informational purposes only and does not replace professional judgment, diagnosis, examination, treatment, or emergency care. If your animal may be in danger or requires urgent care, contact an in-person veterinarian or emergency service immediately.

23Third-Party Services

The Platform may integrate third-party services such as payment processors, subscription tools, maps, analytics services, communications tools, verification providers, or cloud services. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and policies, and Colitas is not responsible for third-party conduct, outages, or terms.

24Privacy and Data Handling

Personal information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You agree not to collect, scrape, misuse, disclose, or process personal information obtained through the Platform except as permitted by law and this Agreement.

25Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its software, design, text, graphics, branding, logos, interfaces, compilations, and underlying technology, is owned by or licensed to Colitas and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. Except for the limited license expressly granted in this Agreement, no rights are transferred to you.

26Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, feedback, or recommendations regarding the Platform, Colitas may use them without restriction, obligation, or compensation to you.

27Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, disable, restrict, or terminate all or part of your access to the Platform at any time for legal, operational, safety, trust, animal welfare, fraud prevention, policy, or security reasons.

Upon termination, the license granted to you ends immediately. Clauses that by their nature should survive termination, including clauses relating to payments, liability, indemnity, intellectual property, disputes, and data handling, will survive.

28Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

COLITAS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR SUITABLE FOR EVERY PURPOSE, OR THAT LISTINGS, PROFILES, PROFESSIONALS, SELLERS, SHELTERS, OR USER CONTENT WILL ALWAYS BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, SAFE, LAWFUL, OR AVAILABLE.

COLITAS IS A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM AND, UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE, IS NOT A PARTY TO AGREEMENTS BETWEEN USERS AND THIRD-PARTY PROFESSIONALS, CLINICS, SHELTERS, SELLERS, ADOPTERS, DONORS, OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COLITAS AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM.
