We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information presented through the Service is accurate and current. However, information may occasionally contain errors, omissions, or outdated material.

Material available through the Service is provided for general information and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making decisions where more accurate, complete, or timely information is reasonably required.

We make reasonable efforts to display the colors, materials, features, specifications, measurements, and images of our products as accurately as possible.

We cannot guarantee that your computer, phone, tablet, or other device will display every color or detail accurately.

Minor variations in color, texture, stitching, hardware finish, packaging, measurements, or other non-material characteristics may occur because of lighting, photography, screen settings, manufacturing batches, measurement methods, or product improvements.

6 - PRODUCT USE, FIT, AND SAFETY

K9ELITE products must be used only for their intended purpose and in accordance with the product information, sizing guidance, adjustment instructions, care instructions, and warnings provided through our website or with the product.

Customers are responsible for measuring their dog, selecting the appropriate size, adjusting the product correctly, supervising their dog, and checking the product’s fit and condition before use.

Breed, age, and weight recommendations are provided as general guidance only. They do not guarantee that a particular product or size will fit every dog of that breed, age, or weight.

The customer should ensure that the product is secure but not excessively tight and that it does not restrict normal breathing, movement, circulation, or comfort.

Harnesses, collars, leashes, straps, buckles, clips, handles, stitching, adjustment points, and other components should be inspected before each use and regularly throughout the life of the product.

Do not use any product that is damaged, excessively worn, chewed, torn, altered, improperly adjusted, contaminated, or not functioning as intended.

No harness, collar, leash, clip, buckle, or restraint should be considered completely escape-proof, chew-proof, or failure-proof.

K9ELITE products do not replace responsible supervision, handling, training, veterinary guidance, or professional behavioral advice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise on the applicable product page, K9ELITE products are not designed, tested, or certified for lifting or suspending an animal, fall protection, climbing, vehicle crash restraint, medical restraint, or unattended tethering.

Control handles are intended to provide short-term handling assistance and additional control. They must not be used to lift, carry, or suspend a dog unless the applicable product is expressly designed and rated for that purpose.

The customer is responsible for determining whether a product is appropriate for their dog’s measurements, strength, behavior, health, activity, and intended use.

If you are unsure about sizing, fit, adjustment, or suitability, contact K9ELITE Customer Support before using the product.


7 - PURCHASES AND PAYMENT

Available payment methods are displayed at checkout and may change from time to time.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, billing, shipping, and account information for all purchases made through the Service.

You agree to promptly update your information, including your email address, shipping address, billing information, and payment details, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you when necessary.

All prices are displayed and charged in U.S. dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.

Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other fees will be displayed at checkout before payment is submitted.

By submitting an order, you authorize us and our payment providers to charge your selected payment method for the total amount displayed at checkout.

An order confirmation acknowledges that we have received your order. It does not prevent us from reviewing, limiting, correcting, or canceling the order where permitted by these Terms or applicable law.

We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel an order where permitted by applicable law.

This may include orders that:

• Contain inaccurate or incomplete information

• Cannot be verified or authorized

• Appear fraudulent, abusive, or suspicious

• Contain an obvious pricing or product-information error

• Exceed applicable purchase limits

• Appear to have been placed by an unauthorized dealer, reseller, or distributor

• Cannot be fulfilled because of product availability or service-area restrictions

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

You are responsible for checking that your recipient name, street address, apartment or unit number, city, state, ZIP code, email address, and phone number are complete and accurate before submitting an order.

Our Return Policy contains the applicable requirements, procedures, exclusions, fees, timeframes, and remedies for returns, refunds, exchanges, personalized products, made-to-order products, promotional items, product defects, damaged orders, incorrect orders, and fulfillment errors.

You may be permitted or required to create an account to access certain features of the Service.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete account information and to keep that information updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity conducted through your account.

You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to or use of your account.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate an account that contains inaccurate information, presents a security risk, violates these Terms, or is used for fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity.


11 - FRAUD PREVENTION AND PAYMENT DISPUTES

We are committed to providing a secure and trustworthy shopping experience. We may monitor and review orders for potential fraudulent, unauthorized, abusive, or suspicious activity.

If we reasonably suspect that an order or transaction is fraudulent, unauthorized, unlawful, or otherwise presents a security risk, we reserve the right to:

• Request additional identity, payment, address, or order verification

• Place the order on temporary hold

• Limit or cancel the order

• Refund payment to the original payment method

• Restrict future use of the Service

• Notify the relevant payment provider or authorities where appropriate


CHARGEBACKS AND PAYMENT DISPUTES

If you believe an unauthorized, fraudulent, duplicate, or otherwise incorrect transaction has occurred, please contact K9ELITE Customer Support so that we can investigate the matter and attempt to resolve it promptly.

If a chargeback or payment dispute is initiated, we reserve the right to respond by providing relevant evidence to the applicable bank, card issuer, payment processor, or financial institution.

Relevant evidence may include order information, payment verification, customer communications, delivery confirmation, tracking records, policy acceptance, return records, and other information relating to the transaction.

Nothing in this section limits any right you may have under applicable law or under the rules of your bank, card issuer, or payment provider.

We may provide you with access to third-party tools over which we neither monitor nor have control or input.

You acknowledge and agree that access to optional third-party tools is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without endorsement.

Any use of optional tools offered through the Service is entirely at your own risk and discretion.

You should ensure that you understand and approve of the terms under which the relevant third-party provider supplies those tools.

We may offer new Services and/or features through the website in the future, including new tools and resources. Such new features and/or Services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.


13 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

Certain content, products, features, and Services available through our Service may include materials or technology provided by third parties.

Third-party links on this site may direct you to websites that are not affiliated with K9ELITE.

We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy, security, availability, products, services, policies, or practices of third-party websites.

The inclusion of a link, integration, application, or third-party service does not necessarily constitute our endorsement of that third party.

We do not warrant and will not have liability or responsibility for third-party materials, websites, products, or Services, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Any purchase or transaction made directly through a third-party website is between you and the applicable third party.

Please carefully review the terms, policies, and practices of any third party before engaging in a transaction or providing personal information.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, reject, restrict, or remove Submissions that we reasonably determine violate these Terms, applicable law, platform requirements, or another party’s rights.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time for maintenance, security, technical, operational, legal, or other legitimate reasons.

We cannot guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

The Service may experience hardware, software, network, hosting, payment-processing, maintenance, or other issues that result in interruptions, delays, or errors.

We will not be liable for loss or inconvenience caused solely by temporary inability to access or use the Service, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

We do not warrant that information or results obtained through use of the Service will always be accurate, complete, or reliable.

We do not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for products or services offered directly by an unaffiliated third party through a third-party website or service.


20 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

K9ELITE is not responsible for injury, escape, property damage, product damage, or other loss resulting from improper sizing, incorrect adjustment, failure to inspect the product, continued use of a damaged product, chewing, scratching, animal behavior, misuse, neglect, modification, improper care, use outside the product’s intended purpose, or failure to follow instructions and warnings.

This limitation does not apply where the loss was caused by K9ELITE’s negligence, willful misconduct, breach of an applicable written warranty, or other conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, K9ELITE LLC and our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, suppliers, service providers, and licensors shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages.

This includes, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, loss of opportunity, replacement costs, or similar economic losses arising from your use of the Service or a product purchased through the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, K9ELITE’s total aggregate liability arising from a particular product or order will not exceed the amount paid to K9ELITE for the product or order giving rise to the claim.

The exclusions and limitations in this section do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability, some of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.


21 - INDEMNIFICATION

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless K9ELITE LLC and our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, and suppliers from third-party claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from:

• Your material breach of these Terms of Service

• Your unlawful use of the Service

• Your misuse or unauthorized modification of a product

• Your violation of applicable law

• Your violation of another person’s rights

• Content or Submissions you provide through the Service

This section does not require you to indemnify K9ELITE for claims resulting from K9ELITE’s own negligence, willful misconduct, or other conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.


22 - TERM AND TERMINATION

These Terms of Service remain in full force and effect while you use the Service.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, engaged in unlawful or fraudulent activity, created a security risk, or misused the Service.

If your account or access is terminated, you may not create another account using false, borrowed, or misleading information to bypass the restriction.

Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before termination, including obligations relating to accepted orders, payments, returns, refunds, warranties, disputes, intellectual property, or liability.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect following termination.


23 - ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

The unenforceable portion shall be considered severed from these Terms, and the determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.


25 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms of Service, together with our Return Policy, Shipping Policy, Privacy Policy, and any other policies or operating rules posted through the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and K9ELITE concerning your use of the Service.

These Terms supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals concerning the Service, whether oral or written, including prior versions of these Terms.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Any ambiguity in the interpretation of these Terms shall not automatically be construed against either party.


26 - ASSIGNMENT AND FORCE MAJEURE

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, financing, or transfer of the business, subject to applicable law.

We shall not be responsible for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, carrier disruptions, labor disputes, government actions, public emergencies, war, civil unrest, infrastructure failures, cyber incidents, or failures of third-party service providers.

This section does not affect any cancellation, delay-notice, refund, or other consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.


27 - GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements through which we provide Services to you shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of mandatory protections provided by applicable federal law or by the laws of a jurisdiction whose protections cannot lawfully be waived by agreement.
