Terms of Service

Last Updated: December 13, 2020

1. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of these Terms of Service, the following terms have the meaning set forth below. “Life Quality Pet Care” means Gleason Vet LLC, which may also be referred to as ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ as the context requires. “Terms” means the Gleason Vet LLC Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. “Website” means the website of lifequalitypetcare.com together with, unless the context otherwise requires, its content.

2. TERMS OF SERVICE

A. Instructions

We cannot accept instructions from anybody under the age of 18 years or if you do not permanently reside in the United States of America (“USA”), or if you are not at least 18-years of age. In certain situations, we understand that requests will be made by persons acting as your agent, such as pet carer, cattery/kennel owner, etc. We will assume unless advised in writing by yourself, that they have your authority and are acting in your interest and on your behalf. Requests for any account details to be changed must be made in writing by the account holder.

B. Services

Life Quality Pet Care is a veterinary service, specializing in rehabilitation services (e.g., rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, food therapy, and at-home euthanasia services) for domestic pets. That is to say, we provide the best possible specific veterinary services. We have limited equipment and the ability to perform only those treatments and investigations specifically offered by Life Quality Pet Care. Consultations are typically performed in our office or through telemedicine. However, we are not a veterinary hospital and do not have the associated facilities to treat pets requiring hospitalization, x-ray, surgery, vaccines, laboratory services including blood work, or other veterinary hospital services. If you are happy with the limitations, we are happy to accommodate you as best we can. In filling in the registration request form or registering by phone you are requesting specific services from Life Quality Pet Care. This is to include ONLY the services recommended and/or offered by Life Quality Pet Care.

C. Routine Veterinary Care and Emergency Treatment

In filling in the registration request form or registering by phone you are agreeing that you will continue to utilize a veterinary hospital for ALL other veterinary services not offered or recommended to be performed by Life Quality Pet Care such as routine veterinary care (e.g., lab work, vaccinations) and emergency treatment.

D. Medication

We cannot supply medication on prescription without first seeing your pet. Repeat prescriptions can only be given if the animal is under the direct care and attention of Life Quality Pet Care, and we reserve the right in certain circumstances to re-examine the animal again before prescribing. All prescriptions must be paid for in advance unless otherwise agreed to by Life Quality Pet Care.

E. Insurance

It is your responsibility to submit claim forms to us for completion. Insurance form administration is provided free of charge by us and all claim forms will be dealt with promptly. Only on rare occasions and by prior arrangement will we defer the ‘payment’ terms below, providing the insurance claim will be paid directly to Life Quality Pet Care and providing the insurance company has agreed in principle to settle the claim. In this circumstance, the client will still be required to pay any excess and costs not covered by the insurer and any costs later rejected by the insurer.

F. Treatment

Subject to our professional duties as veterinarians, we reserve the right to make final decisions on treatment. We retain the responsibility for case records. Although the client is charged for the taking, diagnosis, and advice of such case records, they do not buy ownership of them. In appropriate circumstances, copies can be forwarded to another veterinarian. We are unfortunately unable to answer queries here made by owners whose animals are not under our veterinary care. We suggest that you discuss your concerns with your own vet. They are in the best position to advise you since they have the benefit of knowing all about your animal and their relevant lab results etc.

G. Payment

We accept cash, checks, or credit cards for payments. We may require your credit card details prior to confirming your appointment. We shall, unless an alternate payment method has been agreed upon, charge your credit card after the appointment is completed. We aim to run a transparent pricing policy, with fair and competitive fees. We do recognize that there will be exceptional circumstances where emergencies occur and payment at the time will not be possible. Of course, such scenarios will be taken into consideration. To allow us to continue to provide a quality service, this condition will also apply to insured animals and it is the responsibility of the client to be reimbursed by the insurance company. In giving instructions, either in person or by your agent, for an animal to be treated, you will be responsible for our charges. Whenever possible we will give you an estimate of the cost of treatment, however, variations and complications may arise resulting in further costs being incurred.

H. Cancellation

If formal cancellation of a confirmed appointment is not requested more than 24 hours prior to the agreed-upon start time of said appointment, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of no less than $99. You will be invoiced or your credit card will be charged accordingly. Reschedule requests not made more than 24 hours prior will also be charged an equivalent cancellation/rescheduling fee. Additionally, if your pet is deemed too aggressive or fractious to be examined safely or we are unable to perform the necessary veterinary services to appropriately treat your pet, you are still liable for the cost of the exam or the standard cancellation fee.

I. New clients

Details, including relevant medical history and records, may be requested from your regular veterinarian. It is your responsibility to obtain these records prior to the initial consultation and is in the interest of your pets’ welfare to ensure we know about any current medical conditions, the treatment being received, etc. All new clients are encouraged to carefully read these terms and conditions.

J. Complaints

We aim to offer all clients a professional, friendly, and efficient service and we hope that you will be pleased with the work we do for you. However, if any difficulty should arise, our approach is to be constructive. Every complaint will be taken seriously, will be investigated thoroughly and promptly, and remedial action will be taken as appropriate. If you have a complaint, please email us at support@temp-lifequalitypetcare.siterubix.com. We would expect to resolve any problem to your satisfaction.

K. Future work
