These Self-Service Advertising Terms of Service are effective January 1, 2023.
These Self-Service Advertising Terms of Service (these “Ad Terms”) govern Customer’s use of the self-service advertising portal and associated tools for creation, submission, delivery, measurement, analytics, and related activities associated with any advertising or other commercial or sponsored activity or content (collectively, the “Ad Service”) sold by MyPetsWelcome, Inc. and its affiliates (“MyPetsWelcome”), and any advertising campaigns Customer purchases through the Ad Service (“Campaign” or “Campaigns”). The term “Customer” or “you”, as used herein, means the entity whose content will be displayed by MyPetsWelcome through the Ad Service pursuant to these Ad Terms. Where applicable in respect of the placement of Campaigns through the Ad Service, the term “Customer” may also be used to refer to any agent acting on the advertiser’s behalf (“Agency”). BY ACCEPTING THESE AD TERMS, PURCHASING A CAMPAIGN OR UTILIZING ANY PART OF THE AD SERVICE IN ANY MANNER, CUSTOMER REPRESENTS AND AFFIRMS HAVING READ, UNDERSTOOD, ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE AD TERMS.
1. Account Creation; Access.
- In order to use the Ad Service as contemplated by these Ad Terms, Customer must create an Ad Service account (“Account”) after receiving an invite from MyPetsWelcome. As part of the Account setup, Customer will set log-in credentials for its Account. For certain customers, MyPetsWelcome may set up log-in credentials for Customer, which Customer may change after logging in. After the initial creation of Customer’s Account, Customer may authorize users, including Agencies, to access and use Customer’s Account on Customer’s behalf for the purposes described in these Ad Terms. It is the Customer’s obligation to validate all approved Account users and to maintain the security of all Account credentials. Customer is responsible for all activity that occurs in its Account, including the actions of each individual and/or Agency with access to Customer’s Account.
2. The Ad Service.
- Customer authorizes MyPetsWelcome to place advertisements, related technology and other content that Customer provides in connection with the Ad Service (“Ad Content”) on any MyPetsWelcome or third party product or property made available in connection with the Ad Service (the “Ad Service Properties”). For the avoidance of doubt, MyPetsWelcome will only place Ad Content on third party Ad Service Properties if authorized by Customer in connection with its Campaign.
- Customer is solely responsible for: (i) Ad Content; (ii) applications, content and properties to which the Ad Content directs or redirects any user, including any services and products referenced in the Ad Content or on Customer’s websites, mobile apps, physical stores, or any other physical or digital medium Customer controls (collectively, “Customer Properties“); (iii) its use of the Ad Service, including ad bidding, trafficking, and targeting decisions; and (iv) providing data usage notices to and receiving consents from all users that engage with its Ad Content.
- Customer grants to MyPetsWelcome a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid up, transferable and sublicensable right and license to access, use, store, distribute, reproduce, modify, transmit, perform, display and publish the Ad Content in inventory placements on the Ad Service Properties and as otherwise necessary to provide the Ad Services. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing, Customer further grants to MyPetsWelcome the right and license to reference Customer as a customer and include Customer’s Ad Content in MyPetsWelcome’s marketing materials and in communications with investors and prospective customers. As between Customer and MyPetsWelcome, Customer acknowledges and agrees that MyPetsWelcome owns all right, title and interest (including, all intellectual property and proprietary rights) in and to the Ad Services, the Ad Service Properties and the Reporting Data. Further, Customer understands that once displayed, Ad Content is public information and may be shared and accessed outside of Customer’s targeted audience.
- For clarity, MyPetsWelcome’s Member Agreement, along with any additional terms between Customer and MyPetsWelcome, including MyPetsWelcome’s Business Services Terms, govern Customer’s use of any MyPetsWelcome website, product, or service other than the Ad Service.
3. Ad Policies.
- Customer’s use of the Ad Service must comply with all Applicable Laws (defined below) and is subject to MyPetsWelcome’s policies made available to Customer (collectively “Ad Policies”), including MyPetsWelcome’s Community Guidelines and Advertising Policies. MyPetsWelcome may modify the Ad Policies from time to time.
- MyPetsWelcome may reject or remove Ad Content at any time for any reason including but not limited to where MyPetsWelcome reasonably suspects or becomes aware that such Ad Content infringes any Applicable Laws, regulations, third-party rights, or Ad Policies.
- MyPetsWelcome may suspend or terminate Customer’s participation in the Ad Service for any reason including but not limited to where MyPetsWelcome believes in good faith that Customer is in breach of the Ad Terms or Ad Policies.
- MyPetsWelcome may modify or cancel the Ad Service in whole or part at any time.
4. Campaigns.
- When Customer purchases a Campaign through the Ad Service, Customer will inform MyPetsWelcome of the type of advertising Customer wants to buy, the amount Customer wants to spend, and, if applicable, Customer’s bid. If MyPetsWelcome accepts Customer’s Campaign, MyPetsWelcome will deliver Ad Content to the audience Customer specifies; provided, however, MyPetsWelcome does not guarantee that in every instance Customer’s Ad Content will reach its intended audience.
- MyPetsWelcome will determine the size, placement and positioning of Ad Content in its sole discretion.

5. Payments; Cancellation; and Refunds.

- MyPetsWelcome reserves the right to monitor and audit your compliance with these Ad Terms.
- Amendment. MyPetsWelcome may amend these Ad Terms at any time. The modified Ad Terms will be posted at a URL available through Customer’s Ad Service account, will not apply retroactively without your prior agreement, and will become effective 7 days after posting, except for changes made for legal reasons, which will become effective immediately. Customer’s continued use of the Ad Services after the effective date of amendments constitutes its acceptance of the Ad Terms, as amended. If Customer does not agree to the Ad Terms, as amended, Customer must stop using the Ad Services.
- Termination. Either party may terminate these Ad Terms at any time with notice to the other party, but any continued use by Customer of the Ad Service will be subject to the then-current Ad Terms posted at a URL made available through the Ad Service. Sections 2 (The Ad Service), 3 (Ad Policies), 5 (Payments; Cancellation; and Refunds), 7 (MyPetsWelcome Pixel), 8 (Data), 9 (Confidentiality), 10 (Indemnity), 11 (Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability) and 12 (General) will survive termination of these Ad Terms.
- Governing law. These Ad Terms are governed by Delaware law, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles, except as may be otherwise provided herein.
- Dispute resolution. If a dispute arises (except for payment disputes, which will be resolved as described in the Ad Service Payment Terms), Customer agrees to provide MyPetsWelcome with notice of the dispute, and to provide a fifteen (15) business day resolution period in which Customer and MyPetsWelcome may attempt to work out the dispute informally. If, after the fifteen (15) business day resolution period, Customer and MyPetsWelcome cannot work out the dispute, Customer agrees to bring any dispute or claim arising out of use of the Ad Service and these Ad Terms in binding arbitration before a single, mutually agreed upon arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. MyPetsWelcome will reimburse all such JAMS filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Customer may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person. Any in-person hearing will take place in Dover, Delaware. Judgment on any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. As an alternative to arbitration, Customer or MyPetsWelcome may bring a claim in “small claims” court if permitted by that small claims court’s rules. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the federal or state court located in Dover, Delaware. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
