El Servicio Snuffle es una aplicación móvil y proporciona apoyo a los «dueños de mascotas» y los proveedores de servicios relacionados con mascotas, denominados «proveedores de servicios para mascotas», que se utiliza para encontrar, comunicarse e interactuar entre sí. Cobramos honorarios por ciertos aspectos del Servicio Snuffle como se describe en estos términos.
Snuffle no proporciona servicios de cuidado de mascotas. Snuffle es una parte neutral para los proveedores de servicios y los dueños de mascotas. Snuffle no es un proveedor de servicios y, a excepción de la asistencia telefónica de emergencia y otros recursos y el apoyo descrito específicamente en el Servicio de Snuffle, no proporciona servicios de cuidado de mascotas. No hacemos representaciones o garantías sobre la calidad de alojamiento, cuidado de mascotas, pasear mascotas y perros, cuidar la casa, u otros servicios prestados por los Proveedores de Servicios («Servicios de Cuidado de Mascotas»), o sobre sus interacciones y tratos con los usuarios. Los Proveedores de Servicios que figuran en Snuffle no están bajo la dirección o control de Snuffle, y los Proveedores de Servicios determinan a su propia discreción la forma de prestar Servicios de Cuidado de Mascotas. A pesar de que ofrecemos orientación general en nuestro sitio a los proveedores de servicios sobre la seguridad y el cuidado de mascotas y a los dueños de mascotas sobre la selección y contratación de proveedores de servicios, Snuffle no emplea, recomienda o respalda a los proveedores de servicios o dueños de mascotas, y, en la medida máxima permitida por la ley aplicable, no seremos responsables por el desempeño o la conducta de los proveedores de servicios o dueños de mascotas, ya sea en línea o fuera de línea. Llevamos a cabo una revisión inicial de los perfiles de los Proveedores de Servicios y facilitamos las verificaciones de antecedentes o de identificación de los Proveedores de Servicios realizadas por un tercero, pero, excepto cuando se especifique explícitamente en el Servicio Snuffle (y sólo en la medida especificada), no seleccionamos a los Proveedores de Servicios o los dueños de mascotas. Usted debe tener cuidado y utilizar su juicio independiente antes de contratar a un proveedor de servicios, la prestación de servicios de cuidado de mascotas, o interactuar con los usuarios a través del Servicio Snuffle. Los dueños de mascotas y proveedores de servicios son los únicos responsables de tomar decisiones que están en el mejor interés de ellos mismos y sus mascotas. Por ejemplo, cada usuario del Servicio Snuffle es responsable de mantener al día las vacunas de su propia mascota, y no tendremos ninguna responsabilidad por la falta de vacunación de su mascota.
Snuffle no tiene ninguna responsabilidad por cualquier reclamo, lesiones, pérdidas, daños y / o daños derivados de y / o de cualquier manera relacionada con sus interacciones o tratos con otros usuarios y los actos y / u omisiones de los proveedores de servicios y los dueños de mascotas, ya sea en línea o fuera de línea. Usted reconoce y acepta que, en la medida máxima permitida por la ley aplicable, SU USO Y / O PRESTACIÓN DE SERVICIOS DE CUIDADO DE MASCOTAS ES BAJO SU ÚNICO Y EXCLUSIVO RIESGO. (Cualquier obligación financiera Snuffle puede tener a sus usuarios en relación con la conducta del usuario se limita al reembolso de los servicios reservados en las condiciones mencionadas).
Las transacciones son entre los dueños de mascotas y los proveedores de servicios. El Servicio Snuffle puede ser utilizado para encontrar y ofrecer servicios de cuidado de mascotas y para facilitar el pago, pero todas las transacciones realizadas a través del Servicio Snuffle son entre los dueños de mascotas y proveedores de servicios. A excepción de los reembolsos limitados, usted acepta que Snuffle no tiene ninguna responsabilidad por los daños asociados con los Servicios de Cuidado de Mascotas (que pueden incluir lesiones corporales o la muerte de una mascota) o como resultado de cualquier otra transacción entre los usuarios del Servicio Snuffle.
Con el fin de utilizar Snuffle, el usuario debe tener al menos 18 años de edad para crear una cuenta Snuffle y utilizar el servicio. Al crear una cuenta usted forma un contrato vinculante con Snuffle, usted confirma no ser una persona que tiene prohibido el uso del servicio bajo cualquier jurisdicción aplicable, y usted cumplirá con nuestros Términos y Condiciones y todas las leyes locales, provinciales, estatales, nacionales e internacionales, normas y reglamentos. Además, usted nunca ha sido condenado por ningún delito o infracción, incluidos los delitos sexuales o cualquier otro delito que implique violencia y que no se le pide que se registre como delincuente de cualquier tipo con cualquier provincia, registro nacional o internacional de delincuentes.
RESERVAS
Los dueños de mascotas y los proveedores de servicios realizan transacciones entre sí en la aplicación Snuffle cuando ambos están de acuerdo en una «reserva» que especifica los honorarios, el período de tiempo, y otros términos para la prestación de servicios de cuidado de mascotas a través del mecanismo de reserva previsto en el servicio Snuffle (una «reserva»). Una reserva puede ser iniciada por un dueño de una mascota mediante la selección del tipo (s) de servicios de cuidado de mascotas a prestar y luego seguir las instrucciones que aparecen en pantalla. Si usted es el propietario de una mascota e inicia una reserva, se compromete a pagar por los servicios de cuidado de mascotas descritos en la reserva cuando haga clic en «Reservar». Si usted es el propietario de una mascota y un proveedor de servicios inicia una reserva, se compromete a pagar por los servicios de cuidado de mascotas descritos en la reserva cuando haga clic en «Pagar ahora». Todas las solicitudes están sujetas a la aceptación de la parte receptora. La parte receptora no está obligada a aceptar su (o cualquier) solicitud y puede, a su discreción, rechazarla por cualquier motivo. Una vez completada una Reserva, usted se compromete a respetar el precio y demás condiciones de dicha Reserva, tal y como se reconoce en la confirmación de la Reserva.
Los propietarios de animales de compañía son los únicos responsables de evaluar a los proveedores de servicios
Los dueños de mascotas son los únicos responsables de evaluar la idoneidad de los proveedores de servicios para los servicios que ofrecen. Aunque Snuffle realiza una revisión limitada de los perfiles de los Proveedores de Servicios y facilita las Verificaciones de Antecedentes de los Proveedores de Servicios o Verificaciones de Identidad realizadas por un tercero, cualquier investigación es limitada, y Snuffle no garantiza que dicha investigación sea precisa, completa, concluyente o actualizada. Del mismo modo, Snuffle no respalda las revisiones de los Proveedores de Servicios por otros dueños de mascotas que pueden estar disponibles a través del Servicio Snuffle, y Snuffle no se compromete a que dichas revisiones sean precisas o legítimas.
ABANDONED PETS AND RE-HOMING
Pet Owners who arrange for Pet Care Services and fail to retrieve their pet after the service period identified in a Booking agree that Snuffle (or the Service Provider) may, in its (or his or her) sole discretion, place the pet in foster care, transfer care to animal control or other law enforcement authorities, or find other alternate care. Pet Owner agrees to reimburse Snuffle and/or the Service Provider for all costs and expenses associated with such actions. Further, Snuffle expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove a Pet Owner’s pet from a Service Provider’s care should Snuffle deem it necessary for the safety of a pet, the Service Provider, or any persons living with the Service Provider. Prior to removing a pet from the care of a Service Provider, Snuffle will use reasonable efforts during its normal business hours to contact the Pet Owner and/or the Pet Owner’s emergency contact (if provided) to arrange alternative care. Should Snuffle not be able to contact the Pet Owner Snuffle will use its best judgment to find alternative care for the pet until the Pet Owner is able to retrieve his/her pet. If you are a Pet Owner, you authorize your pet’s veterinarian(s) to release your pet’s veterinary records to Snuffle in connection with any such relocation or re-homing of your pet. In addition, you are responsible for and agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Snuffle in connection with such transfer.
EMERGENCIES
We recommend that Pet Owners give their Service Providers contact information where they can be reached in the event medical care for a pet becomes necessary. Service Providers agree to immediately contact Pet Owners in the event such care becomes necessary or, if the Pet Owner is not available, to contact Snuffle at the applicable email address (contact@snuffle.app) also listed in the table at the end of these Terms. If you are a Pet Owner, you hereby authorize your Service Provider and Snuffle to obtain and authorize the provision of veterinary care for your pet if you cannot be reached to authorize care yourself in an emergency situation. In such case, you also authorize your pet’s veterinarian(s) to release your pet’s veterinary records to Snuffle. If your Service Provider reaches you with a request to authorize medical care for your pet and you refuse, you release the Service Provider and Snuffle for any injury, damage or liability arising from failure to seek such care. Pet Owners are responsible for the costs of any such medical treatment for pets and, if you are a Pet Owner, you hereby authorize Snuffle to charge your credit card or other payment method for such costs. Snuffle recommends that all users have adequate pet insurance to cover the costs of veterinary care.

LICENSE

It is your sole responsibility to maintain backup copies of Your Content.

We reserve the right to screen, edit or remove these reviews from the Snuffle Service at any time.
CURRENCY
All fees, deductible amounts and other payments referenced on, or charged through, the Snuffle Service are listed and payable in local currency.
FEES FOR PET OWNERS
Pet Owners may purchase Pet Care Services from a Service Provider by completing a Booking. If you are a Pet Owner, you enter into a transaction with the Service Provider when you accept a Booking, and you agree to pay the total amount indicated in the Booking, which includes service fees payable to Snuffle. The Service Provider, not Snuffle, is responsible for performing the Pet Care Services. Where required by law, the amount charged will be inclusive of applicable taxes.
FEES FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS
Service Providers may agree to provide Pet Care Services to a Pet Owner by agreeing to a Booking. If you are a Service Provider, you must confirm the Booking before it expires or the Pet Owner will have no obligation to complete the transaction. Once the Booking is completed by both parties, you agree to honor the price set forth in your Booking. The purchase of Pet Care Services is a transaction between the Pet Owner and the Service Provider. Snuffle’s role is to facilitate the transaction. We will (either directly or indirectly through an authorized third party) collect payment from the Pet Owner at the time of Booking and initiate payment to the Service Provider’s account 48 hours after completion of the service period indicated in the Booking. Except where otherwise specified via the Snuffle Service, they are calculated as a percentage of the fees a Pet Owner agrees to pay a Service Provider in a Booking and are collected from each Booking. Where required by law, the amount charged will be inclusive of applicable taxes.
SERVICE FEES
We charge service fees for some aspects of the Snuffle Service.
LATE FEES AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES
If you are a Pet Owner, you acknowledge and agree that, if you fail to retrieve your pet at the end of the service period agreed in a Booking, you will be charged for additional service time (pro rata for each partial late day) at the daily rate established in the Booking. In addition, you agree to indemnify Snuffle for, and agree that we may charge your credit card or other payment method for, any additional costs and expenses we or the Service Provider incur as a result of your failure to retrieve your pet at the end of the service period agreed in a Booking.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
BOOKING PROCESS
Snuffle can help you find replacement Service Providers when Service Providers cancel Bookings near the start date of the service period identified in the Booking. The availability of cancelling for free depends on the timing of the cancellation and the type of Pet Care Services provided.
CANCELLATIONS BY SERVICE PROVIDER
If a Service Provider cancels a Booking prior to or during the service period identified in the Booking, we will refund the fees paid by the Pet Owner for Pet Care Services not provided, as well as any service charge paid to Snuffle. If you are a Service Provider, you can appoint a substitute Service Provider (as agreed by the Pet Owner and so long as the substitute has an active account on the Snuffle Service and has agreed in writing to accept a Booking) by contacting Snuffle to modify the Booking. If you do not find a substitute and repeatedly cancel accepted Bookings without justification, Snuffle may deactivate your account.
CANCELLATIONS BY PET OWNER
If a Pet Owner cancels a Booking prior to or during the service period specified in a Booking, we will refund fees in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Service Provider on the Snuffle Service. All Service Providers are required to select a cancellation policy prior to completing a Booking so that Pet Owners are aware of the cancellation policy prior to Booking.
REFUNDS FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM
If we determine in our reasonable discretion that a Service Provider has failed to provide Pet Care Services as agreed with the Pet Owner or is otherwise in breach of these Terms, then we may, in our reasonable discretion, cancel a Booking and/or issue a full or partial refund to a Pet Owner.
GENERAL TERMS FOR CANCELLATIONS
If you wish to cancel a Booking, you should use the mechanisms available through Snuffle to do so. The date of cancellation is the date that a user cancels through the Snuffle Service, regardless of any separate communications between users outside of the Snuffle Service.
PAYMENT DISPUTES AND PAYMENT OUTSIDE OF THE SNUFFLE SERVICE
Snuffle initiates payments to Service Providers 48 hours after completion of a Booking. Once these amounts have been disbursed, any further payment disputes are between the Pet Owner and Service Provider, and Snuffle has no obligation to mediate or facilitate any resolution. Further, Snuffle has no responsibility or liability with respect to any tips, bonuses, or other payments made outside of the Snuffle Service.
PAYMENT HOLDS
If you are a Service Provider, Snuffle reserves the right to issue a hold on amounts if there is any reasonable suspicion of fraudulent activity involving your account(s) or for other similarly compelling reasons involving protection of Snuffle, the Snuffle community or third party rights. We may also recommend that third party payment service providers restrict your access to funds in your account under the foregoing circumstances.
AUTHORIZATION TO CHARGE
When you pay for Pet Care Services or for other services on the Snuffle Service, you will be required to provide us with valid, up-to-date credit card or other payment information and to maintain that payment information (or an acceptable alternative payment method) on file with your account so long as you have any outstanding, confirmed Bookings. Snuffle’s role is to facilitate payments from Pet Owners to Service Providers as a limited payment agent for the Service Provider. You authorize us to charge your credit card or other payment method for fees you incur on the Snuffle Service as they become due and payable, and to charge any alternative payment method Snuffle has on record for you in the event your primary payment method is expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date payment information. If we cannot charge you for fees when due because your payment information is no longer valid, or if we do not receive your payment when due, then you understand that neither Snuffle nor the Service Provider will be responsible for any failure to provide services associated with those fees. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all fees paid via the Snuffle Service are non-refundable once paid.
TAXES
Except for taxes on Snuffle’s income and gross receipts or where Snuffle is otherwise required to collect taxes, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible to pay any applicable taxes that arise as a result of your purchase, provision, or use of Pet Care Services via the Snuffle Service. This includes, without limitation, any form of sales tax, VAT, or income tax on fees paid or received by you through the Snuffle Service.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and subject to the Stripe Services Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/legal), and, if you are receiving payments via the Snuffle Service, the Snuffle Connected Account Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/connect-account/legal) (collectively, the “Stripe Terms”). In order to use the Snuffle Service to receive payment, you may be required to set up a Stripe account and accept the Stripe Terms. You authorize Snuffle to obtain all necessary access to, and perform all necessary activity on (including requesting refunds where appropriate), your Stripe Connected Account to facilitate payment related to Pet Care Services you purchase or provide. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information about you and your business, and authorize Snuffle to share it and transaction information with Stripe for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services provided by Stripe. Snuffle reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors or use alternate or backup vendors in its discretion.
Snuffle may provide Service Providers with access to third party consumer reporting agencies that perform, among other things, personal identification verification services (“Identity Verification”). We do not provide, and are not responsible or liable in any manner for, the Background Checks or Identity Verifications, and we do not endorse or make any representations or warranties regarding the reliability of such Background Checks or Identity Verifications or the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of any information in the Background Checks or Identity Verifications. We do not independently verify information in the Background Checks or Identity Verifications.
If you undergo a Background Check or Identity Verification via the Snuffle Service, you hereby consent to the collection, use and disclosure of the information in the Background Check or Identity Verification, and you agree to provide complete and accurate information for your Background Check or Identity Verification. You understand and agree that Snuffle may, in its sole discretion, review and rely on the information in the Background Check or Identity Verification in deciding whether to suspend or terminate or investigate a complaint about a Service Provider, but also that we are not obligated to do so, and are not responsible or liable in any way in the event that any information in any Background Check or Identity Verification is not accurate, timely or complete. If you are the subject of a Background Check or Identity Verification, you may contact the applicable third-party consumer reporting agency to dispute the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of such information. You agree that Snuffle’s rights and obligations under the Arbitration Agreement inure to the benefit of the consumer reporting agency used for Background Checks or Identity Verification in respect of any claim that would be subject to the Arbitration Agreement if brought against us. Snuffle reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Snuffle Service based on information in the Background Check or Identity Verification or for any other reason, or no reason, in our sole discretion.
Pet Owners remain fully responsible to evaluate and investigate their Service Providers. Be aware of the following limitations in Background Checks: Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms or through the Service, Snuffle does not automatically run Background Checks on any Users. Background Checks may vary by type, breadth and depth.

Snuffle always tries to improve its functionality by adding new features from time to time, reviewing and removing some existing ones. If these changes do not materially affect your rights we may not inform you about these. We even may suspend Snuffle services entirely, in this case we will let you know in advance unless extenuating circumstances including safety or security concerns that are occurring prevent us from doing so.
You understand and agree that we have no obligation to provide the Snuffle Service in any specific location or territory, nor to continue providing it once we have begun. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Snuffle Service: (1) if in our discretion your conduct on the Site or Snuffle Service is inappropriate, unsafe, dishonest, or in breach of these terms; or (2) if necessary in our discretion to protect Snuffle, its users, pets, or the public. You may suspend or terminate your use of the Snuffle Service at any time and for any reason. If you wish to deactivate your account, please contact Snuffle.
