These Membership Terms (the “Agreement”) apply to the Groompass membership program (the “Program”), a membership-based pet health and wellness discount program offered by Pawsh Inc/Groompass (collectively, “Groopass Welness” “we,” “us,” “our”). By enrolling in the Program, you (the “Member,” “you”) agree to this Agreement. If two or more persons enroll as Members under that same account, the terms “Member” and “you” shall include each and all of those persons.

The Program is not insurance and is not intended as a substitute for insurance.

THIS AGREEMENT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS UNLESS CANCELLED AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 2 BELOW. YOU AUTHORIZE GROOMPASS TO AUTOMATICALLY BILL YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD FOR APPLICABLE MEMBERSHIP FEES, INCLUDING FOR ANY AUTOMATIC RENEWALS, AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 3 BELOW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF INITIAL ENROLLMENT ONLY AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 2.4 BELOW.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION IN SECTION 11 THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES. PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THOSE CONDITIONS BEFORE YOU ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM.

1. MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS AND TERMS

1.1 Per-Pet Enrollment. Membership benefits, including the Discount, are provided to dogs and cats only on a “per-pet” basis for the individual dog or cat identified at the time of enrollment in the Program (the “Pet”). Members may enroll one or more additional Pets in the Program by paying an additional Membership Fee (as defined below) for each such additional Pet to be enrolled. Membership benefits are only available for the Pet(s) enrolled in the Program and are not transferable. Using or attempting to use Membership benefits, including the Discount, for a pet other than the Pet(s) enrolled in the Program is a breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of your Membership without refund.

1.2 Membership Benefits. Members receive the following benefits during the Term, subject to certain limitations and restrictions, for each Pet (collectively, the “Discount”): (a) unlimited Thrive Pet Healthcare “Nose-to-Tail” pet exam services for the enrolled Pet(s) (the “Exam Services”); (b) ten percent (10%) off the listed prices (exclusive of any other sales, discounts, or promotions, except where explicitly permitted) for veterinary services for the enrolled Pet(s) (collectively with the Exam Services, the “Services”), but excluding those services set forth in the Appendix at the end (which we may update from time to time); and (c) Five Dollar ($5.00) nail trims for the enrolled Pet(s) (basic/entry level trims only). Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to offer additional discounts or promotions, to Members and non-Members, from time to time.

1.3 Use of the Discount. In order to ensure the receipt of Member benefits, including the Discount, Members must be present and identify themselves as a Member at the time of check-in, purchase, or order. The Discount only applies to purchases at participating Thrive Pet Healthcare locations and does not apply to any purchases of goods or services through Petco or any other unaffiliated third party (including, without limitation, any training, boarding, or grooming fees incurred at facilities owned and/or operated by Petco). Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to take steps to limit the use of the Member benefits, including the Discount, in the event Thrive Pet Healthcare reasonably believes, in its sole discretion, that the applicable Member has violated or engaged in abuse of the Program or the Discount or has breached this Agreement. This may include, without limitation, limiting the use of the Discount to a single person, household, or credit card during a given period, terminating enrollment in the Program, or other lawful steps.

1.4 Pricing. Pricing for the Services, including application of the Discount, is calculated at the time of purchase. Prices and availability information are subject to change without notice. Unless otherwise noted, prices do not include taxes or delivery costs, where applicable, which you agree to pay upon ordering and/or purchasing the Services. Member understands and acknowledges that any advertised savings under the Program assume utilization of a variety of Services included under the Program, and that actual savings may vary based on a variety of factors, including the frequency of use and the type and quantity of Services purchased using the Discount.

2. TERM, RENEWAL, AND TERMINATION

2.1 Term. Enrollment in the Program becomes effective on the date of enrollment and lasts for an initial twelve (12) month term (the “Initial Term”). If multiple Pets are associated with a single Member account, the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms for a given Pet are calculated independently and will begin on the date the Membership Fee is paid for such Pet.

2.2 Automatic Renewal. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, enrollment in the Program will automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month terms on an annual basis (each a “Renewal Term”) at the then effective Membership Fee unless Member notifies Thrive Pet Healthcare at least fourteen (14) business days prior to a Renewal Term of Member’s intent to cancel their enrollment in the Program for the applicable Pet. Except as noted in Section 2.4 below, canceling enrollment will not entitle Member to a refund of any fees already paid.

2.3 Cancellation. Cancellation notices may be sent via mail and/or email to:

2.4 Cancellation by Member. Member may cancel enrollment in the Program within thirty (30) days of initial enrollment without penalty, and receive a refund of any prepaid Membership Fees, if such Member has not utilized the Discount or any other Program benefits. If a Member cancels after utilizing the Discount or any other Program benefits, to the extent permitted by law, Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to offset the value of the Program benefits received against any refund, and, if the value of the Program benefits received exceeds the amount to be refunded, to the extent permitted by law, Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to bill you for such excess. Furthermore, if a Member cancels the Membership other than as expressly permitted herein, Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to charge the Member the full remaining Membership Fees due for the remaining term of the Membership. A Member may also cancel enrollment in the Program if the Pet dies or if the Member moves more than fifty (50) miles from a participating THRIVE location.

2.5 Cancellation by Thrive Pet Healthcare. Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to cancel or discontinue the Program upon notice, including in specific jurisdictions, and refund any Membership Fees for the then-current Initial or Renewal Term.

2.6 Termination due to Breach. Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to suspend or terminate a Member’s participation in the Program in the event that Thrive Pet Healthcare has determined, in its sole discretion, that such Member has breached this Agreement, Thrive Pet Healthcare’s Terms of Use, or has otherwise abused the Discount or other Member benefits. In addition, Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to assess a re-activation fee to lift a suspension on a Member’s participation in the Program.

3.2 Membership Fees. Enrollment in the Program is billed monthly in advance on a per-Pet basis. The Member authorizes Thrive Pet Healthcare to charge the credit card on file for all fees associated with enrollment in the Program and automatic renewals (“Membership Fees”), or, if Thrive Pet Healthcare is unable to complete payment using such card, to any other credit card Thrive Pet Healthcare may have on file associated with a Member’s account. If a Member’s credit card, payment, or billing information changes, they must promptly notify Thrive Pet Healthcare to ensure that there is not a lapse in enrollment or loss of Membership benefits. Thrive Pet Healthcare reserves the right to adjust Membership Fees from time to time and will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Members of any change to Membership Fees using customary communication and notice methods.

3.3 Late Payments and Collection. By enrolling in the Program, you agree to pay in full for all Services and other items you purchase and/or order from Thrive Pet Healthcare. Late payment fees of the lesser of (a) 1.5% per month or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law may be assessed for all amounts past due for more than thirty (30) days. Should Thrive Pet Healthcare hire an attorney or collection agency to secure payment of any amount due, you will be responsible for paying all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with collection of such past due amounts.
