If a Buyer cancels a confirmed purchase, the refund amount (if any) will be determined based on the Listing terms, including any non-refundable deposits. Breeders may also cancel confirmed transactions in accordance with the Listing terms.

8. Reviews

Within a certain time frame after completing a transaction, Breeders and Buyers can submit a verified review (“Review”) about each other. Any Reviews reflect the opinion of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of PriAu LLC. Reviews are not verified by PriAu LLC, and each Member should undertake his or her own research to be satisfied concerning any specific Member. You agree that PriAu LLC is not liable for any Reviews.
Reviews by Breeders and Buyers must be fair, truthful, and factual and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language. Reviews must comply with PriAu LLC’s policies. PriAu LLC reserves the right to remove any Reviews for any reason at any time.
Members are prohibited from manipulating the Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to submit a positive or negative Review about another Member.

9. Disputes between Members

Breeders/Business Owners are solely responsible for the Listings they create and for any transactions with community members. Members may use the DogHouse Platform to communicate with Breeders/Business Owners, but DogHouse does not process payments for transactions, and all payments are handled outside of the DogHouse Platform.
DogHouse does not assume any responsibility or liability for disputes, claims, or interactions that arise between Members, including Buyers and Breeders/Business Owners. All transactions are conducted directly between Members and outside the scope of DogHouse’s services.
However, DogHouse may, at its sole discretion and without any obligation, assist in providing necessary information related to a dispute, such as communications exchanged through the Platform or Listing details, to help Members resolve issues.
Members are solely responsible for resolving disputes, and DogHouse will not act as an intermediary, arbitrator, or mediator. If you believe a Member is acting inappropriately, we encourage you to report this to DogHouse by contacting us at info@thedoghouseapp.com.

10. Taxes

DogHouse does not collect, calculate, or remit any taxes, as we do not take part in any payment processing for transactions conducted between Breeders/Business Owners and community members. All transactions occur offline and outside the DogHouse Platform.
Breeders/Business Owners are solely responsible for determining, collecting, remitting, and reporting any applicable taxes, including but not limited to sales, value-added, income, or other taxes required by laws and regulations in their state, municipality, or country. It is the Breeder’s/Business Owner’s responsibility to understand and comply with any tax obligations that may arise from offline transactions with Buyers.
DogHouse encourages Breeders/Business Owners to consult with a qualified tax professional or legal advisor to ensure compliance with local tax laws and regulations.

You acknowledge and agree that, unless expressly stated herein and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to, and use of, the DogHouse Platform and Collective Content, your publishing of or purchasing through any Listing via the DogHouse Platform, your sale or purchase of a dog, or use of any other Breeder/Business Service or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online remains with you.

Neither PriAu LLC nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the DogHouse Platform or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, indirect, punitive, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with:

These Terms;
Your use of or inability to use the DogHouse Platform or Collective Content;
Any communications, interactions, or meetings with other Members or other persons with whom you communicate, interact, or meet as a result of your use of the DogHouse Platform;
Your publishing of, or inquiring about, a Listing, including the provision or use of a Listing’s Breeder/Business Services;

whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not PriAu LLC has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Additionally, PriAu LLC holds no liability for any inaccuracies or consequences arising from the use of tools provided on the DogHouse Platform, including but not limited to the food calculator or other resources. Members are solely responsible for using such tools at their own discretion and risk. For example, if the food calculator results in a situation where a dog is overfed or underfed, PriAu LLC shall bear no responsibility for any damages or consequences that result.

In no event will PriAu LLC’s aggregate liability arising out of, or in connection with, these Terms and your use of the DogHouse Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing of or purchasing through any Listings via the DogHouse Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the DogHouse Platform or Collective Content and in connection with any Breeder/Business Service, or interactions with any other Members, exceed an amount determined in PriAu LLC’s sole discretion.

The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between PriAu LLC and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. If you reside outside of the U.S., this does not affect PriAu LLC’s liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

14. Release

You hereby release the PriAu LLC Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your use of the DogHouse Platform, including but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other Member or third-party websites of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms or your use of the DogHouse Platform. PriAu LLC expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between Members. If you have a dispute with one or more Members, you release us (and our affiliates and subsidiaries, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

15. Indemnification

You agree to release, defend (at PriAu LLC’s option), indemnify, and hold PriAu LLC and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and our and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees, arising out of, or in any way connected with, (i) your breach of these Terms or our policies or standards, (ii) your improper use of the DogHouse Platform or any Services, (iii) your interaction with any Member or purchase or sale of any dog or Breeder/Business Service through the DogHouse Platform, in each case, including, without limitation, any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with, or as a result of, such interaction or transaction, or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

PriAu LLC is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process, if possible. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with PriAu LLC and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

1. **Applicability of Arbitration Agreement**

You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, Application, or Services or to any aspect of your relationship with PriAu LLC, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or PriAu LLC 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).

a. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Arbitration Agreement also applies without limitation to all disputes between Member and PriAu LLC’s fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, and their respective employees, directors and officers, and all successors and assigns of any of them, including but not limited to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of relating to this Agreement or Member’s relationship with PriAu LLC, including termination of the relationship.

b. Except as is otherwise provided or required by law, this Arbitration Agreement also applies without limitation, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to disputes regarding any city, county, state or federal wage-hour law, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, expense reimbursement, termination, harassment and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (except for individual claims for employee benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by PriAu LLC and covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or funded by insurance), Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other similar federal and state statutory and common law claims.

c. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to PriAu LLC, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1710 Bluff Pl., Unit A, Long Beach, CA 90802.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and PriAu LLC. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). 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 arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND PriAu LLC 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 PriAu LLC are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 16.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 17.
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 the following address: info@thedoghouseapp.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your DogHouse username (if any), the email address you used to set up your DogHouse 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 this 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.
Severability. 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.
Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with PriAu LLC.
Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if PriAu LLC makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to PriAu LLC.

17. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and PriAu LLC, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.
Unless you and PriAu LLC agree otherwise, in the event that the Arbitration Agreement above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, as a result of a decision by an arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and PriAu LLC must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles County, California. You and PriAu LLC agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
