Disclaimer
This web-based consulting service (“the “Service”) is provided for educational purposes only. By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and understand that there are risks and limitations associated with this type of web-based consulting Service. The Service provided by Petnip.com, LLC and Televets.com is not a substitute for the regular veterinary care for your cats, dogs or other pets, that a licensed veterinarian provides through regular, routine in-person office visits. Due to the nature of the Service, Televets has not verified and cannot verify the accuracy or truthfulness of any of the information provided on any of the Consultant/Advisor Profiles. The terms “Consultant” or “Advisor” may be used throughout our Site to identify an individual who claims to have certain knowledge, background, or experience that may be useful in responding to questions posed by Users. Use of such terms provides no assurance by us that the person answering a User’s question(s) has any expertise or qualifications to give such advice. Therefore, you acknowledge that we have not and cannot independently verify any User’s, Consultant’s or Advisor’s qualifications.
The Service is not a substitute for an emergency consultation facility and we do not and cannot provide advice or consultation regarding immediate emergency attention. If your pet has been in an accident, or is in immediate medical need, you need to contact your regular veterinarian or local animal hospital immediately.
Televets acts as a venue for entertainment purposes to allow anyone to ask or answer just about any question, at anytime, from anywhere. We are not involved in the actual conversation between any User and any Advisor or Consultant. We do not edit, modify, filter, screen, or otherwise monitor the content of questions, answers, profiles, qualifications or comments or have any obligation to monitor the content. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the answers given, the truth or accuracy of the answers, the ability of an Advisor or Consultant to answer questions or the ability of a User to pay for answers received. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, Advisors, or Consultants, or suffer any damages as result of relying upon information on our Site provided by third parties, including any Advisor or Consultant, you release Televets (and our officers, directors, members, managers, agents, parents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes or damages. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which provides: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to remove any content that we believe violates any of or Terms of Use, including, without limitation, any objectionable or personally identifiable information.
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE AND WE NEITHER ADOPT, ENDORSE, NOR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY OPINION, ADVICE, OR STATEMENT MADE BY ANY USER OF THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY ADVISOR OR CONSULTANT.

The information above are (or is) provided as a simple and general summary of the Televets site and service.

Televets service is merely a passive conduit allowing pet owners the opportunity to contact "advisors" and "consultants" that may or may not have knowledge or expertise in a specific area. We do not employ the "advisors" and "consultants" and we do not, and cannot, ensure that they have any particular knowledge in a specific area. While some of the "advisors" and "consultants" may be licensed or qualified veterinarians, there is no veterinarian-client relationship between a user and the "advisor" and/or "consultant". By offering assistance through our site, the "advisors" and "consultants" are not practicing veterinary medicine.
We are not veterinarians and are not offering a veterinary service. The "advisors" and "consultants" are also not holding themselves out as veterinarians. Your pet could be harmed by following the advice of our "advisors" and "consultants" and any other information on our site. It is possible that a user of our site might act maliciously and intentionally provide bad advice to you. Your pet's health could be in jeopardy by following the advice on our site. While we believe the information provided on our site and by the "advisors" and "consultants" may be helpful to users of our site, you should not use the information contained on our site for diagnosing your pet's health or fitness problem or disease. You should always consult your own veterinarian and medical advisors. Your use of and browsing the site are at your own risk. Neither Televets nor any other party involved in creating, producing or delivering the site is liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages arising out of your access to, or use of, the site. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the site is provided to you "AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
