Terms of Service

Version 1.0

Last revised on: January 29, 2024.

Please read this legal document carefully.

Pateverse (“Pateverse”, “Company”, “us”, “our”, and “we”) offers smart GPS-enabled dog collars and other accessories for pets (“Petority Smart Collar”), related GPS-tracking、Real-Time Heart Rate Monitoring and activity monitoring services for such dog collars that we offer via desktop and mobile applications (“Petority Services”) and other content and features for Petority Smart Collar Products and Petority Services, including through our website located at help.petority.net and its subdomains (the “Site”) and mobile applications (“Petority Applications”). The Petority Products, Petority Services, Petority Applications and Site collectively are referred to herein as the “Petority Offerings”). By registering as a member or by visiting, browsing the Site or a Petority Application, or ordering, purchasing or using any Petority Offering in any way, you (as a “user”) accept these Terms of Service (“Terms”), which form a binding agreement between you and Petority. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms or any applicable Supplemental Terms (as defined herein) or any Petority policies referred to herein (collectively, the “Agreement”), you may not access or use any of the Petority Offerings.

Please be aware that Section 18 of these terms contains provisions governing how disputes that you and Petority have against each other will be resolved, including without limitation, any disputes that arose or were asserted prior to you entering into the agreement. Section 18 contains, among other things, an agreement to arbitrate which requires, with limited exceptions, that all disputes between you and Petority be resolved by binding and final arbitration. Unless you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate within 30 days of entering into the agreement: (1) you and Petority will only be permitted to pursue disputes or claims and seek relief against the other party on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding and each of us waives our right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration; and (2) each of us is waiving our right to pursue disputes or claims and seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial.

Please also be aware that Section 2 of these terms contains your opt-in consent to receive communications from us, including via e-mail, text message, calls, and push notification.

Certain elements of the Petority Offerings may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified from time to time (“Supplemental Terms”), including, but not limited to, with respect to purchases of Petority Products, our Return Policy and the warranty that applies to the particular Petority Product. All Petority Products come with our six (6) month Limited Warranty and Petority Products that are purchased as part of a Membership come with our Extended Hardware Warranty (for so long as your Membership for the product remains active). Supplemental Terms will either be listed in these Terms or be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Petority Offerings. If the Terms are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to the Petority Offering to which they relate. These Terms together with all applicable Supplemental Terms form the Agreement.

Please note that the agreement is subject to change by Petority in its sole discretion at any time. When changes are made, Petority will make a new copy of the Agreement available on the Site and the Petority Applications. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Agreement. If we make material changes to the Agreement, we may (and, where required by law, will) also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via e-mail if you have an account or another manner through the Petority Offerings. Petority may require you to provide consent to the updated Agreement in a specified manner before further use of the Petority Offerings is permitted. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Petority Offerings. Otherwise, your continued use of the Petority Offerings constitutes your acceptance of such change(s). PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE SITE AND THE PETORITY APPLICATIONS TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT AGREEMENT. If you have prepaid for a Commitment Period, the prior Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of that Commitment Period and if you have already bought a product, the prior Agreement shall remain in effect for such product.

If you do not agree to the updated Agreement, you must stop using the Petority Offerings before it becomes effective as noted above. Otherwise, your continued use of any of the Petority Offerings after the effective date of the updated Agreement constitutes your acceptance of the updated Agreement. PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE SITE TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT AGREEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT PETORITY'S CONTINUED PROVISION OF THE PETORITY SERVICE IS ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THE CHANGES IN THE UPDATED AGREEMENT.

18. ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires that you and Petority arbitrate disputes against one another.

Dispute Resolution: Please note that this Section 18 outlines the procedures for resolving disputes between you and Petority. Among other provisions, this Section 18 includes an agreement to arbitrate, which mandates that all disputes between you and Petority must be resolved through binding and final arbitration, with limited exceptions. Additionally, this Section 18 includes a waiver of class action and jury trial. It is important to carefully read this Section 18.

  • Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Petority agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Petority Offerings, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Petority Offerings, or the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of the Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Petority may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Petority may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of the Agreement.

  • Informal Dispute Resolution. There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Petority. If that occurs, Petority is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Petority agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Petority therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you also agree to participate in the conference.

  • The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e-mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

  • The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party's Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any fiing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

  • Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Petority hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and Petority are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

  • Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. You and Petority agree that, except as specified in subsection 18(i) (Batch Arbitration), each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the parties hereby waive all rights to have any dispute be brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated on a class, collective, representative, or mass action basis. Only individual relief is available, and disputes of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection 18(i) (Batch Arbitration) entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Petority agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in New York County in the State of New York. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Petority from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

  • Rules and Forum. The Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Notice, you and Petority agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief 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 disputes 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. JAMS's rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS rules.

  • A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

  • If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel's name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

  • Unless you and otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 19(i) (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

  • You and Petority agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties' attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

  • Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the JAMS roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 18(i) (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, JAMS will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

  • Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

  • Attorneys' Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Petority need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

  • Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Petority agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Petority by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

  • All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator's fees shall be paid by Petority.

  • You and Petority agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

  • 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: Barking Labs Corp., 419 Lafayette Street, Floor 2, New York, New York 10003, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Petority account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

  • Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Petority as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

  • Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Petority makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Petority at: Barking Labs Corp., 419 Lafayette Street, Floor 2, New York, New York 10003, your continued use of the Petority Offerings, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or through the Petority Offerings, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of the Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Petority Offerings, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Petority Offerings or the Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Agreement) remain in full force and effect. Petority will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of the Agreement.

19. GOVERNING LAW
