If you do not wish to receive such text marketing messages and notifications, reply with “STOP” to any mobile message sent from us. We may send a text in response confirming your request to us.

Limitation on Liability

In no event shall any indemnified parties be liable for any actual, consequential, incidental, direct, indirect, punitive, exemplary, special, or other damages, including without limitation loss of revenue or income, profits, value or use, pain and suffering, or similar damages, even if the company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. No person is authorized on behalf of Dr. Fossum’s to give any other representations, or to modify or extend the limited warranties provided on this website, or to assume any other liability in connection with this website or the products offered for sales by Dr. Fossum’s. In no event shall the collective or total liability of the indemnified parties to any party for any claim (regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, excluding willful misconduct or gross negligence) exceed the price paid for the product or service which gives rise to such claim.

Dr. Fossum’s shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for any use of, or the inability to use, the materials on this site.

Applicable law may restrict the use or extent of limitations or exclusions to liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitations and exclusions may not apply in full to you. Nonetheless, in no event will Dr. Fossum’s’s liability for products purchased from this site exceed the price paid for such products, including any shipping and handling charges.

 

Tetrahydrocannabinol Disclaimer

Dr. Fossum’s’s industrial-hemp derived supplements, and the majority of industrial-hemp products on the market, contain a naturally occurring trace amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The amount of THC in our products never exceeds 0.3% concentration by weight, per state and federal regulations and definitions of industrial hemp, and while it is highly unlikely that one would fail a traditional drug test from using our products, that possibility cannot be ruled out. Taking excessive amounts of industrial hemp products, the type or method of drug test utilized, and an employer’s or organization’s requirements and policies, among other things, are factors that may influence drug test results. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions and placing an order with us, you are indicating that you understand that failing a drug test is a possibility when using industrial hemp products, and that you waive the right to make a claim against Dr. Fossum’s for any matters related to any drug test you take or the results of any such drug test, including the loss of employment or any employment opportunity or the imposition of a civil or criminal penalty. All products on Dr. Fossum’s Pet Care website are intended for animal use and should not be consumed by humans.

 

Local Jurisdictions/Buyer’s Compliance with Applicable Laws

Dr. Fossum’s makes no representations that the products available through this website will be available or appropriate in every jurisdiction in which this website may be accessed. To the best of Dr. Fossum’s’s knowledge, it operates legally under both state and federal law in the United States law, and the other countries it distributes to, and; however, it is impossible for the Company to be aware of the laws and regulations of all local jurisdictions (e.g. municipalities and counties) relating to industrial hemp-derived products. Dr. Fossum’s isn’t responsible for any potential legal matters that may arise due to such local regulations.

You are solely responsible for compliance with any laws governing the purchase and use of the products available through Dr. Fossum’s’ website or a website linked to Dr. Fossum’s’s website. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE PURCHASER AND/OR USER, NOT DR. FOSSUM’S’, TO ASCERTAIN AND OBEY ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LAWS REGARDING THE POSSESSION AND USE OF ANY ITEM OR PRODUCT OFFERED BY DR. FOSSUM’S OR BY A WEBSITE LINKED TO DR. FOSSUM’S WEBSITE. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL OR STATE AUTHORITIES BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER. BY PLACING AN ORDER, YOU INDICATE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE it is your sole responsibility as buyer to determine if industrial hemp derived products are legal according to the laws that apply to you and represent and warrant that you have read this disclaimer and that all products purchased will be used in a lawful manner and that you are of legal age to purchase and use such products.

You understand and agree that the limitations on liability set forth above apply to the foregoing.

This site and, except as provided in the following sentence, the materials, and products offered on this site are provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Dr. Fossum’s warrants that all Dr. Fossum’s products purchased on this site, at the time of shipment, will not be adulterated, and will contain the ingredients specified for the products as labeled.
Dr. Fossum’s makes no warranty with respect to products, services or this website that is not set forth in writing in these terms and conditions, and specifically disclaims and excludes, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, any and all other representations and warranties of any kind, express or implied, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The remedies provided in these terms and conditions are exclusive, and Dr. Fossum’s expressly and specifically disclaims, and customer irrevocably waives the right to seek, all other remedies.

Dr. Fossum’s does not make any warrantees or representations regarding the use of the materials in this site in terms of their correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or otherwise.

You agree that personal jurisdiction and venue in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this site or these Terms and Conditions (including but not limited to the purchase of Dr. Fossum’s products) shall be in the United States courts, and you waive any right to object to the laying of venue in such courts and the right to claim inconvenient forum. Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to this site (including but not limited to the purchase of Dr. Fossum’s products) must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrues. Dr. Fossum’s’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these Terms and Conditions.

If any part of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Prices listed on this website for products or services, unless otherwise noted, are exclusive of shipping charges, and of any applicable value-added, sales, use, excise, transfer, transport, or other tax, tariff or duty of any sort imposed by any government authority (“Taxes”).

For online orders, we accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Cryptocurrency. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to invalid payment method, declined credit, expiration, insufficient funds or otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel your order. Orders are shipped only after receipt of full payment.

Typographical and Inadvertent Errors

In the event that a Dr. Fossum’s product is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price, Dr. Fossum’s reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that at the incorrect price, whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, Dr. Fossum’s shall issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price charged to you.

Promotion and Coupon Codes

Multiple coupon codes cannot be used simultaneously. When buying bulk volume through the website for special tiered discounts, no coupon code can be used.

Shipping & Delivery

We generally ship items within one or two business days of our receipt and acceptance of an order. If there is a delay affecting our ability to ship generally, we will attempt to conspicuously post that fact on this site.

We fill United States orders primarily using USPS, UPS and FedEx. Dr. Fossum’s cannot be held liable for replacing packages $300 or over that do not have a signature requirement at time of delivery. We do not guarantee delivery times.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, TIME IS NOT OF THE ESSENCE, and any delivery date requested or provided is an estimate only. Dr. Fossum’s is not responsible for delays or for non-performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation laws, rules, regulations or acts of any government, embargoes, blockades, armed conflict, terrorism, labor disputes, delays of carriers or suppliers, shortages of material, accidents, fires, floods, weather conditions and any other acts of God.

Unless otherwise noted on this website, delivery of products is FCA (Incoterms (2010), the international rules for the interpretation of trade terms of the International Chamber of Commerce) Dr. Fossum’s’s facility where the products you order are located at the time of shipment. This means that you will be charged for the cost of shipping, and title and risk of loss will pass to you upon Dr. Fossum’s’s delivery of the products you order to the U.S. postal service or courier service.

International Sales

All international sales are subject to all applicable U.S., and foreign export controls (including, without limitation, the Export Administration Act of 1979, the Export Administration Regulations promulgated thereunder, the U.S. Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations), and by placing an order through this website, you affirm that you will comply with all such applicable export controls and regulations.

You will be the importer or exporter of record and are responsible for all required licenses, permits, and authorizations. Customs and import duties may apply to international sales. Those charges are the responsibility of the recipient of your order and vary from country to country. It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate authorities to verify whether the country to which you are having products delivered permits the importation of those products and whether customs or import duties or similar charges will apply. Dr. Fossum’s is not responsible for any direct, indirect, punitive, or consequential damages that arise from improper international shipping practices.

Returns/Refunds Policy

We understand that you may need to return a product. Should you feel the need to do so, you have 30 days from the date of purchase of your first order to initiate the process. Please contact us at 1 – (413) 367-7867 or [email protected] and one of our Customer Care Representatives would be happy to assist you.

Limited to one return or exchange per customer. Only purchases up to $110.00 qualify for a refund. We do not take returns based on taste. We typically process approved return/refund requests within 1-2 business days.

If your product was purchased through a Dr. Fossum’s Pet Care distributor or retailer, you will need to go back to your original purchase location for any return or exchange.

Lost Packages

If a package is lost after we ship it, which does occasionally occur, Dr. Fossum’s will not be responsible if the tracking information lists the order as “delivered,” which means UPS or the courier service delivered the product to the address specified. If the package is sent to an address other than the one you specified, upon return of the original package to Dr. Fossum’s, Dr. Fossum’s will reship the order. Please note that Dr. Fossum’s is not responsible for errors of USPS or courier services, or if you provide or confirm an incorrect address. It, therefore, is very important that you ensure that the address you give to us is exactly correct, as any mistake could delay delivery and will entail extra expense to you. If you place an order by phone, we will read the delivery address (and other information you provide) aloud and repeat it to you, to help you be sure it is correct.

Product Defects & Damaged Packages

We allow three days from the date of delivery to notify us if there is any type of defect with a product or if the package it was in was damaged in transit. If we aren’t notified of defects or damages within the three-day window, it is understood that the package and products were in good condition upon delivery.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

“Satisfaction guaranteed” applies to your first order only; however, if there is an issue with a subsequent order we will do everything in our power to rectify it.

Shipping Costs

We do not refund shipping costs.

Expedited Shipping

We offer expedited shipping as a courtesy to our customers. The cost of expedited shipping is non-refundable (even if you return the product).

Returns

Customer is responsible for paying for return shipping.

Subscription Returns

In the event that you have subscribed to our autoship service and have received several renewal orders, we will refund one unopened container if it is returned within 30 days of the renewal order date.

NOTE: Refunds/returns are designed for new customers or products that are not satisfactory.

Pets that have passed away

If your pet has passed away, we will accept one unopened order of our product for a full refund.
