General Information
Welcome to Elzo! Elzo is an online platform that allows licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians (“Vets”) to
provide virtual veterinary care and prescriptions to owners (“Clients”) of pets, service animals (referred to as “Pets”).
Our Offered Services
The Site functions as an online conduit facilitating vets to render online veterinary services to clients for their Pets. Subject
to legal compliance and their professional judgment, Vets can prescribe suitable medications catering to a Pet's health requirements.
The array of services offered by Elzo does not incorporate the delivery of veterinary services, digital veterinary care, pharmacy
services, or any other professional services by Elzo. Instead, Elzo serves as a technology facilitator, delivering content and enabling
access to external providers who may offer Access to process.binding('http_parser') is deprecated.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created) digital veterinary care, pharmacy services, and other professional services.
The Vets accessible via the Site are not Elzo's employees or representatives and have not been vetted by Elzo. Elzo does not supervise
the care dispensed to Pets or Clients by Vets. Every Vet is an autonomous licensed professional solely accountable for any digital
veterinary care or other services provided to Pets and Clients, and is also solely responsible for obtaining Client’s informed consent,
when necessary, for any veterinary treatment for Pets.
Elzo does not form part of any agreement or transaction amongst the Site's users, even if the Site facilitates appointment booking,
payment processing, or provides other tools enabling users to interact and enter into agreements or transactions with one another.
Therefore, any element of an actual or potential transaction between a Vet and a Client, including the quality, safety, legality of the
digital veterinary care or other services advertised, the veracity or precision of the advertisements (including the content or any reviews),
the capability of Vets to offer digital veterinary care services, prescribe medications or the ability of Clients to engage for such services,
rests solely with each user.
You recognize and agree that you may be necessitated to enter into one or more independent agreements, waivers, or terms and conditions before
availing virtual veterinary care, pharmaceutical and other services. Users commit to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules
pertaining to their use of the Site, their use of any tool, service, or product featured on the Site, and any transaction they conduct on or
in relation to the Site. Vets further agree to adhere to all laws, rules, ordinances, regulations or other requirements relating to digital
veterinary care and the conduct of their veterinary practice, including any obligations related to data and privacy, or licensing, as applicable.
Please be advised that, even though we aren't a party to any transaction and assume no liability for legal or regulatory compliance pertaining to
veterinary services listed on the Site, there might be circumstances where we are legally compelled (as determined solely by us) to share
information regarding a Vet's listing in order to fulfill requests from governmental bodies for investigations, litigation, or administrative
proceedings. In such cases, we reserve the right to comply with such obligations at our discretion.
The Site might provide access to generic veterinary information; however, the content should not be deemed as veterinary telehealth advice or
a substitute for professional veterinary counsel, diagnosis, or treatment. Clients must always consult a licensed vet or other regulated veterinary
professional for diagnosis and treatment, including advice on suitable drugs or treatment for your Pet. Never neglect, avoid, or delay obtaining
veterinary advice due to something you have read on the Site. No information on the Site implies or assures that any particular drug or treatment
is safe, appropriate, or effective for your Pet. If you know or suspect your Pet has a medical issue or condition, please immediately contact a
licensed veterinarian using the Services or other means.
While we do take some steps with the objective to help users avoid potential fraudulent or illegal activities that we become aware of, we
assume no responsibility or obligation to undertake such measures or actions. Whenever we issue warnings or messages to users about any such
activity, we do not assure that these messages are accurate or that these messages will reach all necessary users promptly or at all, or that
these messages or measures will prevent any harm or have any impact.
Account & Identity Verification
For utilization of certain Site features or Services, it is necessary to create an account (“Account”). During registration, you'll select
a user ID and password. It is mandatory to provide accurate, complete information and maintain up-to-date Account details by promptly
communicating any changes to us, as detailed under the “Contact Us” heading. All personal information linked to your Account or your
usage of the Services is gathered, used, and disclosed following our Privacy Policy.
The right to access and use the Site is exclusive to you and cannot be transferred by you to any other individual or entity. You
bear complete responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your user ID and password and for all activities occurring
under your Account. You're not allowed to use another user's Account without their permission. In case of any unauthorized use
of your user ID or password or any other security breach, you agree to notify Elzo immediately, and select a new user ID and password
if you suspect your Account has been compromised. Additionally, if we suspect unauthorized access to your Account, you agree to
promptly change your user ID and password and take any other related actions we may reasonably request.
Elzo holds no liability for any loss or damage resulting from your non-compliance with the above requirements. Each user acknowledges
and agrees that: (a) neither Elzo nor any Elzo member (as defined later in the section titled “Limitation of Liability”) will be liable
for any unauthorized transaction made using your user ID or password; and (b) unauthorized use of your user ID and password could cause
you to incur liability to both Elzo and other users.
Confirming user identities on the Internet is challenging, and we can't assume any responsibility for verifying each user’s claimed
identity. We advise you to communicate directly with a user via the tools provided on the Site, but even this doesn't guarantee the
identity of the person you're communicating with. We further encourage you to take other reasonable steps to confirm the other person’s identity.
Registration as a user of the Services isn't guaranteed. We reserve the right to deny you access to the Services, or any part thereof,
to maintain or restore security or performance to the Services. This also applies if we reasonably believe you've breached these Terms
or your Account is being used by an unauthorized person. Users are allowed to maintain only one account per individual. We reserve the
right to suspend any account for investigation regarding compliance with these Terms and to terminate any account found in breach of these Terms.
Additionally, without notifying you, we may suspend or cancel a Vet’s listing on the Service or Client account at any time if we suspect,
at our sole discretion, that an Account is being used unauthorizedly or fraudulently. If we request a user for proof of identification and
it isn't provided within the allotted time, we reserve the right to cancel any transaction associated with that user at our sole discretion.

listings, reviews, engagement in an interactive community, chat feature, forum or blog (collectively referred to as "Interactive Forum"), or any
other content provided by a user to the Site ("user-contributed content"). This also encompasses information that a user or anyone else provides
to a third-party website or mobile application that is then provided to our Site via a tool we offer, or any other exchange of user-contributed
content that we authorize. We are not liable for any user-contributed content.
We maintain the right, solely at our discretion, to decline the posting on the Site of, or to remove from the Site, any user-contributed content
that does not meet the content requirements stated in the listing setup, incorporated herein by reference, any other guidelines posted on the Site,
or if it violates these Terms in any way. If we are notified by a user or a third party that any part of these Terms or other requirements governing
the posting of such content have apparently been breached with regard to such content, we may also remove the user-contributed content, solely at
our discretion. Furthermore, we hold the right, though not the obligation, to make non-substantive edits to a Vet's content or user-contributed
content to comply with formatting or information requirements or to assist users in creating or improving listings (like translation services),
based on the information we possess about the listed veterinary practice. Users are still responsible for reviewing their user-contributed content

including all representations about their practice and services they offer, their office location(s), and prices for their services and products.
We do not assert that any listing content, reviews, or pricing information published on the Site is accurate or current.
From time to time, we might create new descriptions or modify the location or geographic descriptions we use to identify listings and search
results. As a result, we may alter the location or geographic description associated with any listing at any time without prior notice.
Nonetheless, we do not have the responsibility to verify the content of a listing or the accuracy of its location. Vets are responsible
for ensuring the correctness of location, geographic descriptions, and other content related to their listing and agree to promptly correct
(or contact us to correct) any inaccuracies. Clients are responsible for verifying the accuracy of such content and descriptions.
All other user-contributed content is the sole responsibility of the user who contributed such content, whether such user contributed the
content directly or through a third-party website. We specifically disclaim all liability for user-contributed content. The user represents
and warrants that the user owns or otherwise controls and has all necessary legal rights to the user’s submission and the name or other identifier
used in connection with such submission including, but not limited to, all the rights necessary to provide, post, upload, input or submit the
user-contributed content. We reserve the right to request a proof of ownership or permission, and to refuse to post user-contributed content
without such proof or if such proof is, in our sole discretion, insufficient.

non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully paid-up license to use, copy, license, sublicense (through multiple tiers), adapt, distribute, display,
publicly perform, reproduce, transmit, modify, edit and otherwise exploit the copy, the photographs and the likenesses (if any) of any of your
user-contributed content, in connection with our business or the business of our affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the
termination or expiration of a listing, we will not continue to display the user-contributed content that was displayed in such listing.
You further grant us and our affiliates the ability to register copyright in and protect the user-contributed content, including the images,
copy, and content available via any Vet’s listing, from the unauthorized use of the user-contributed content by unaffiliated third parties
who may, from time to time, attempt to pirate such information via electronic or other means. This includes, but is not limited to, the right
to file suit to seek injunctive relief to protect such material on behalf of and in your name. You further agree to appear and assist us—at our
expense and control—with protecting such copyrighted material from unauthorized redistribution.
You agree that we may sublicense all the rights granted to us under these Terms to one or more third parties we may contract with to display
all or part of the Vet’s listing or otherwise provide promotional or other services related to our business. In the event that you retain any
rights of attribution, integrity or any other moral rights in any user-contributed content, you hereby waive your right to assert these or to
require that any personal information be used in connection with the user-contributed content or any derivative works thereof and affirm that
you have no objection to the publication, use, modification, deletion or exploitation of the user-contributed content by us or our affiliates.
