PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING VETCALC. By downloading, installing, or using the VetCalc application (the "App"), you ("User") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and SP Vet Surgery ("Operator", "we", "us", "our"). By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and the accompanying Privacy Policy.
The App is intended exclusively for licensed veterinary professionals (DVM, VMD, or equivalent credential) and qualified veterinary support staff acting under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. By accepting these Terms you represent and warrant that you are such a professional or are acting under one's supervision.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Operator grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal or professional veterinary practice use.
You agree NOT to:
The App is a reference and calculation aid intended for use only by licensed veterinary professionals. All clinical decisions, including drug selection, dosing, administration route, and treatment planning, are the sole responsibility of the attending veterinarian. You must independently verify all calculations against authoritative sources — including product labels, formularies, peer-reviewed literature, and current standards of veterinary practice — before clinical application.
Drug concentrations, formulations, and dosing recommendations change over time. The information presented in the App may not reflect the most current data. The user is solely responsible for confirming the accuracy of any value used in patient care.
The App is NOT a medical device under the U.S. Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. § 321(h)), nor under any equivalent veterinary medical device regulation in any jurisdiction. The App is not cleared, approved, certified, or registered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Health Canada, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), or any other regulatory authority for use as a medical device.
The App is intended to provide general reference calculations to assist licensed professionals. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease. Any clinical use is at the sole discretion and risk of the attending veterinarian.
The App is offered free of charge with an optional one-time purchase ("Remove Ads") that suppresses banner advertising for the lifetime of the App on the purchasing account. Pricing is set per region by Apple App Store and Google Play; the price displayed at the time of purchase is the price charged.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of calculations, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the operator or through the app shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the operator, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for harm to animals, professional malpractice claims, loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the app, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if the operator has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In jurisdictions where limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages is not permitted, the operator's liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. In no event shall the operator's total cumulative liability to you for all damages exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid the operator for the app in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) five U.S. dollars (USD $5).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the App; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; (d) any claim by a third party (including a client, employer, or animal owner) arising from your reliance on calculations or information provided by the App; or (e) your violation of any rights of a third party.
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any of these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete it from your devices. Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 survive termination.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence grant you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
The Operator may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version within the App or on this page. The "Last updated" date will reflect the revision. Continued use of the App after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
