Last Revised on March 7, 2024

This Terms of Use Agreement (the “ToU”) is made between HD Global Consulting Inc., doing business as Pawer Lab (“Pawer Lab,” “we,” “us,” or ”our”) and you, the individual choosing to use our Online Services as defined below (“you,” or the “user”).

Our Privacy Policy is subject to this ToU. There are terms in the Privacy Policy that materially affect how your personal information is stored, accessed, and processed. As such, you should read our Privacy Policy in addition to this ToU.

Acceptance of ToU

We know these ToU’s can be tedious to get through. However, by accessing our Online Services, it is understood that you agree to comply and be legally bound by the terms set out in this ToU, which is why you really should stick it out and read the whole thing.

Changes to Terms

From time to time, we may need to make changes to this ToU and may do so at any time. The date at the top of this ToU represents when this ToU was last revised. It is important to check this ToU from time to time to ensure that you are all caught up to date. By continuing to access or use our Online Services after a change has occurred, you agree to be bound by our updated ToU.

Online Services this ToU Covers

Pawer Lab is a pet brand that offers a variety of products to support your pet’s health and hygiene (collectively the “Products”). This ToU applies to our online services, including our website www.pawerlab.com, our newsletter, our social media pages, and any future online services we develop (collectively the “Online Services”). This ToU is effective from the date you start using our Online Services and will continue until you cease using our Online Services.

Services This ToU Doesn’t Cover

We may, at times, link to the websites and services of other brands or partners that we love. We also link to websites where you can find and purchase our Products (“Third-Party Vendors”). When you click on one of these links, you are leaving Pawer Lab, and this ToU no longer applies. The way our partners or other third parties do business is out of our hands, and we assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party website or service. Please note that when you are using any other third-party platform to interact with our Online Services, such as Google, Instagram, or Facebook, you agree to their services policies, and this ToU is, in addition, not in place of such agreements.

Conditions Before You Access Our Online Services

Our Online Services are not targeted or intended to be used by people under the age of 18, and you are not permitted to make purchases from our Online Services unless you are over the age of 18. All children between the ages of 13 and 17 must have permission from their parent or guardian before accessing our Online Services. If you live outside of the United States, your country may apply stricter age limits. In some cases, even if you are older than 13, you may not be legally allowed to access our Online Services regardless of having parental permission. You must be authorized to use our Online Services and enter into this ToU if you are acting on behalf of a company.

User Accounts

We don’t require you to have a user account to browse our Online Services or purchase our products. However, if you wish to interact with our social media platforms or purchase our Products with a Third-Party Vendor, you may be required to create an account with that social media platform or Third-Party Vendor (the “Third-Party Accounts”). We have no control over Third-Party Accounts or the personal information requested by these third parties. We do not have access to passwords created for Third-Party Accounts.

Suspension and Termination of Access to Online Services

o Involuntary Suspension or Termination of Access to Online Services

We may notify you if we have a reason to believe that you have violated this ToU and may issue you a written warning outlining the behavior we believe is in violation. However, we reserve the right to prevent access to our Online Services at any time for any reason.

o Voluntary Termination of Third-Party Accounts

You are free to delete any Third-Party Account at any time voluntarily. Your account may be terminated by contacting the third party directly.

Product Usage

Please read all Product descriptions before making a purchase to ensure that our Products are a good fit for your pet’s needs. Our Products are not a substitute for regular grooming, medication, or veterinary visits. Read all instructions carefully before using our Products. Contact your vet before use if have any questions or concerns, or if your pet experiences irritation following use.

Pricing, Billing & Availability

There may be times when we need to change our Product pricing or remove a Product from our offerings. As such, prices advertised and availability of Products are not guaranteed until a purchase has been made. The full Product price is due upon purchase, and we do not offer any payment plans, though one may be available to you through buy-now-pay-later third-party payment processing services. All payments are processed via the payment processors of our Third-Party Vendors; this means we never personally see or store your credit card information when you purchase a Product. We also do not guarantee that any offerings on our Online Services will be available permanently, and we reserve the right to amend, delete and add to the offerings on our Online Services at our full discretion without notice. Any coupons and gift cards offered are subject to the terms and conditions of the issued coupon/gift card (including validity and expiration periods).

Shipping & Fulfillment

Product orders will be processed and shipped by the Third-Party Vendor that you made your purchase with. We make our Products available to these Third-Party Vendors, but have no control over their processing and shipping processes or timelines, including any associated delays.

Refunds & Exchanges

If a Product you ordered doesn’t work for you, you can work with the Third-Party Vendor where you purchased the Product to discuss your return options, if any. If you receive a damaged or defective Product, please email us at customercare@pawerlab.com to discuss a possible refund or exchange. We do our best to monitor comments and messages on our social media profiles, but sometimes comments and messages on social media can go unseen. To initiate a refund or exchange, email us within 15 days from when you receive your order with a photo of the defect or damage. We’ll send you an email if your refund or exchange has been accepted and let you know if a replacement Product is on its way. We monitor exchanged Products to identify potential misuse or abuse of our policies. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

We love showing others how our Products are enjoyed by our customers! When you post a public review, post, or comment on our website or on a third-party platform (including Instagram, Facebook, and Google Reviews), you grant to Pawer Lab a perpetual, worldwide, payment-free, irrevocable license to use, repost, republish and share any such public reviews, posts, or comments that you make about Pawer Lab for our publicity and marketing purposes.

· Letting Us Know About Complaints

At Pawer Lab, we hope that we can work out any complaints or differences that we may have with you respectfully and calmly. If you have any concerns about Pawer Lab’s Online Services, please reach out to Pawer Lab to let us know. If we cannot work out our differences together, then the following mandatory binding arbitration will apply to resolve the dispute.

· Mandatory Binding Arbitration

If a dispute arising out of or relating to Online Services provided under this ToU cannot be amicably resolved, the parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute with the help of a mutually agreed-upon Burnet County, Texas, mediator. Each party will bear their own mediation costs unless otherwise expressly agreed upon by both parties. The parties must mediate in good faith until a settlement is reached or the mediator declares an impasse has been reached. If a settlement is not achieved through mediation, the dispute must be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in San Antonio, Texas, per its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“AAA Rules”). Except that mandatory binding arbitration will not apply with respect to any claims relating to infringement or misuse of intellectual property or any legal dispute that falls into the jurisdiction of a small claim court and would be more efficiently and cost-effectively resolved in a small claims court. Arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within one (1) year after the claim occurs or within one (1) year of the party asserting the claim and becoming reasonably aware of the act or omission giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one-year statute of limitations for asserting claims, claims must be asserted within the shortest period of time permitted by the applicable law. Except for attorney fees, all other costs associated with the arbitration will be shared equally between the parties, except where the AAA Rules provide otherwise.

· Prevailing Party

If an arbitrator or court of law determines a claim against Pawer Lab to be frivolous or an opinion is found in our favor by the arbitrators or court, you agree to reimburse Pawer Lab for all fees associated with the arbitration and/or court case, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration/court costs.

· Class Action Waiver

You agree to waive any right to participate in a class or representative action or proceeding and warrant that any claims brought against Pawer Lab will be initiated only in your individual capacity. Any relief awarded by an arbitrator or court of law will not affect other users of Pawer Lab’s Online Services.

Assignment
You are not entitled to assign this ToU, in whole or in part, to another person, without the prior written consent of Pawer Lab. Pawer Lab reserves the right to assign this ToU, in whole or in part, to any third party at any time without notice, including but not limited to any individual or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Pawer Lab business or assets.

Survival of Terms Beyond Termination

All provisions in this ToU that specifically state or logically ought to survive the termination of this ToU will survive such termination, including but not limited to payment obligations, intellectual property rights, warranties, indemnities, and limitation on liability clauses.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by Pawer Lab of any term or condition in this ToU will be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition in the future, or of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition of this ToU or any other agreement. If any term or condition in this ToU is declared to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the provisions will remain in effect and will be enforceable to the fullest extent possible.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

Except where otherwise required by mandatory law, this ToU and our Privacy Policy are to be governed by and interpreted, constructed, and enforced per the laws of the state of Texas without regard to conflict of law provisions. All disputes are to be resolved in the jurisdiction of Burnet County, Texas.

Entire Agreement

This ToU and our Privacy Policy represent the entire and exclusive agreement between Pawer Lab and users of our Online Services. All previous written and oral agreements and communications related to the subject matter of this ToU and Privacy Policy are superseded. If any additional service agreement is provided or has been provided in addition to this ToU and Privacy Policy, such agreements are intended to be in addition and not in lieu of this ToU. To the extent that there are any provisions in such service agreements that conflict with the terms of this ToU, the terms of the service agreement will prevail.
