TERMS OF USE AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Overview

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING, USING, OR PLACING AN ORDER THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. THESE TERMS INCLUDE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER.

These Terms govern your use of embarkpets.com, including its subdomains, affiliated web pages, and any related digital services (collectively, the “Website”). The Website is owned and operated by Vantage Commerce LLC under the Embark Harness Co. brand (“Embark,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

By accessing or using the Website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms and all policies incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

SECTION 15 REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND INCLUDES A CLASS-ACTION AND JURY-TRIAL WAIVER, UNLESS YOU TIMELY OPT OUT. PLEASE REVIEW THAT SECTION CAREFULLY.

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page. Material changes will apply prospectively from their stated effective date. Your continued use of the Website after the revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those changes.

1. Website Use

By using the Website, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. You may not use the Website if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.

2. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

3. General Conditions and Prohibited Conduct

The Website and its content are protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. Accessing or using the Website does not give you ownership of any content or intellectual-property rights.

You agree not to:

  • use the Website or our products for an unlawful or unauthorized purpose;

  • violate any applicable international, federal, state, provincial, or local law;

  • infringe our rights or the rights of any third party;

  • submit false, misleading, abusive, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful material;

  • upload malware, viruses, or other harmful code;

  • collect or track another person's personal information without authorization;

  • interfere with the Website, its security features, or another person's use of it;

  • use automated means to scrape, crawl, or access the Website except as authorized by us; or

  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or network.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Website if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or if needed to protect the Website, Embark, our customers, or third parties.

4. Personal Use and Resale

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, products purchased through the Website are for personal, non-commercial use. You may not resell, redistribute, modify, or export products in violation of law or through unauthorized channels. We may limit or cancel orders that appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors. Approved wholesale customers are governed by their separate written terms with us.

5. Accuracy of Information

We try to keep Website information accurate and current, but product descriptions, prices, promotions, shipping charges, transit times, availability, images, and other content may contain errors or omissions. We may correct errors, update information, or cancel affected orders at any time, including after an order is submitted. If we cancel an order after payment, we will refund the amount charged for the canceled item.

Product colors and appearance may vary based on displays, lighting, and manufacturing tolerances. Historical content is provided for reference and may not be current.

6. Website and Price Changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Website without notice. Product offerings, descriptions, prices, promotions, and availability may change at any time. An offer is void where prohibited.

7. Payment

Unless otherwise shown at checkout, charges are stated in U.S. dollars. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method, the information is accurate, and sufficient funds or credit are available.

Payments may be processed by third-party providers subject to their terms. Your issuer may provide updated account information to keep a payment method current. We are not responsible for fees imposed by your bank, issuer, or payment provider. If a charge is reversed or rejected, we may cancel the order or seek payment through another lawful method.

8. Orders and Acceptance

An order confirmation acknowledges receipt of your order but does not mean we have accepted it. Acceptance occurs when we ship the product or otherwise expressly confirm acceptance. We may reject, limit, or cancel an order for lawful reasons, including suspected fraud, pricing errors, product unavailability, or unauthorized resale. If we cancel after payment, we will refund the canceled amount to the original payment method.

9. Shipping

Available shipping methods, charges, and estimated delivery times appear at checkout. Current shipping information is also available on our Shipping and Returns page. We generally aim to dispatch orders within three to five business days, and domestic packages typically arrive within seven to eight business days after an order is placed. These are estimates, not guarantees, and may be affected by carriers, weather, holidays, address issues, or events beyond our control.

You are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address and contact information. If you notice an error, contact us promptly at support@embarkpets.com or (813) 592-6825. We will try to help, but we cannot guarantee changes or cancellation after an order enters fulfillment.

10. Delivery Confirmation

To the extent permitted by law, carrier confirmation at the shipping address supplied with the order is evidence of delivery. This provision does not limit rights that cannot lawfully be waived or any approved carrier claim.

11. Returns, Refunds, and Product Guarantees

Returns and refunds are governed by the policy in effect when you place your order and shown on our Shipping and Returns page. Unless a different rule is stated at purchase, eligible products in new condition may be returned within 30 days for a full refund. Returned items must not have been used, damaged, altered, or washed and must include their original packaging. Please contact Customer Care before returning an item. Customers are generally responsible for return shipping unless required otherwise by law or confirmed by us for a qualifying defective or incorrect item.

Returns must be securely packaged and sent with tracking to the authorized return address. Unauthorized, used, damaged, altered, washed, or late returns may be refused to the extent permitted by law. Embark's currently published policy states that qualifying items returned after the 30-day window may be eligible for store credit; approval remains subject to the condition requirements and policy in effect at the time of the return. Original and expedited shipping charges are nonrefundable unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise. Refund posting time varies by financial institution.

Embark currently offers a one-year limited guarantee covering defects in product materials or construction for the original purchaser, generally providing one replacement of the original product or, if unavailable, a product of equal value. The guarantee does not cover damage from use, misuse, accidents, alterations, or ordinary wear and tear, and generally applies only to products purchased directly from Embark or an authorized reseller. Eligibility, exclusions, remedies, registration requirements, and claim instructions are governed by the Shipping and Returns page, any warranty terms supplied with the product, and applicable law.

If you are experiencing fit or adjustment issues, please contact Customer Care before returning a product. We may be able to help you obtain a safe and comfortable fit, but advice provided by Customer Care does not replace your responsibility to inspect the product, follow instructions, select the appropriate size, and supervise your dog.

12. Social Media

Our social-media pages may be hosted by third-party platforms that we do not control. Those platforms have their own terms and privacy practices. User comments are the views of their authors and do not necessarily reflect Embark's views. We may moderate content on our pages but are not obligated to monitor all user activity.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” Embark DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES REGARDING THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND SECURITY.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARE LIMITED TO THOSE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED WITH THE PRODUCT OR IN OUR PUBLISHED WARRANTY POLICIES. NO PET PRODUCT IS ESCAPE-PROOF, CHEW-PROOF, OR SUITABLE FOR EVERY ANIMAL OR ACTIVITY. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPER SIZING, ADJUSTMENT, INSPECTION, USE, AND SUPERVISION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain disclaimers, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Embark, VANTAGE COMMERCE LLC, THEIR AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, THESE TERMS, OR PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, THESE TERMS, OR A PRODUCT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO Embark FOR THE PRODUCT OR TRANSACTION GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US$500.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including applicable rights for personal injury, product liability, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or statutory consumer protections.

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, HAVE A JURY TRIAL, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before filing a claim, you and Embark agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. A notice must describe the claimant's name and contact information, the order or transaction at issue, the facts and legal basis of the claim, and the relief requested. Send notices to Vantage Commerce LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 107 N. 11th Street, Suite 446, Tampa, FL 33602, with a copy by email to support@embarkpets.com. This informal process does not apply to claims seeking immediate injunctive relief for misuse or infringement of intellectual property.

15.2 Binding Individual Arbitration

Except for eligible small-claims matters and requests for injunctive relief concerning intellectual-property misuse or infringement, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, our marketing, or our products or services will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, governs this arbitration provision.

The arbitration will be conducted by one neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator may award any individual remedy available under applicable law. Unless the parties agree otherwise, hearings may be conducted remotely or in the county where you reside when required by the applicable AAA rules.

15.3 Class-Action and Jury-Trial Waiver

YOU AND Embark WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If a court determines that the waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, only that claim or remedy may proceed in court; all other arbitrable claims remain subject to arbitration.

15.4 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by mailing a written notice within 30 days after your first purchase through the Website. The notice must include your full name, mailing address, order number or product purchased, and an unambiguous statement that you opt out of arbitration. Send it to: Vantage Commerce LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 107 N. 11th Street, Suite 446, Tampa, FL 33602. Opting out will not otherwise affect your relationship with Embark.

15.5 Governing Law and Court Venue

These Terms and any non-arbitrable dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 15. Subject to applicable consumer-law requirements, exclusive venue for non-arbitrable claims will lie in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Embark, Vantage Commerce LLC, their affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, suppliers, successors, and assigns from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Website, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law.

17. Third-Party Websites and Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, terms, or privacy practices. Your dealings with third parties are between you and the third party.

18. Reviews and Other Submissions

If you send or post reviews, photographs, videos, ideas, comments, suggestions, or other materials (“Submissions”), you represent that you have the right to do so, that the Submission is accurate, and that it does not violate law or another person's rights.

You retain ownership of your Submission. You grant Embark and its affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to host, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, display, perform, and create derivative works from the Submission for operating, improving, and marketing our business, products, and services in any media, to the extent permitted by law. Where permitted, we may identify you by the name or username supplied with the Submission. We are not obligated to use, maintain, or compensate you for a Submission.

19. Intellectual Property and DMCA Notice

19.1 Ownership and Limited License

The Website and its text, graphics, photographs, videos, product names, logos, designs, interfaces, software, and other content (“Content”) are owned by or licensed to Embark and protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Website and view or print Content for personal, non-commercial use.

Without written permission, you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, sell, license, create derivative works from, scrape, frame, mirror, or commercially exploit the Website or Content. Embark Harness Co., Embark, and related names, logos, and trade dress are trademarks of Vantage Commerce LLC or its licensors. No trademark license is granted.

19.2 Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Website infringes your copyright, send a notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to:

Vantage Commerce LLC
Attn: DMCA/Copyright Agent
107 N. 11th Street, Suite 446
Tampa, FL 33602
Email: support@embarkpets.com
Telephone: (813) 592-6825

A valid notice generally must identify the copyrighted work, identify and locate the allegedly infringing material, provide your contact information, state your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized, state under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and include your physical or electronic signature.

20. Electronic Communications

You consent to receive transactional notices, disclosures, agreements, and other communications electronically. Electronic communications satisfy legal requirements that communications be in writing. Marketing communications remain subject to applicable law and the choices described in our Privacy Policy.

21. Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law, subject to applicable law.

22. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other right. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative.

23. Severability

Except as provided in Section 15, if any provision is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

24. Termination

We may suspend or terminate Website access for a violation of these Terms or to protect legitimate business, legal, or security interests. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, indemnification, and miscellaneous provisions—will survive.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms and the policies incorporated by reference constitute the entire agreement between you and Embark regarding the Website and Website purchases, except for any separate written agreement that expressly controls. Product-specific, checkout, wholesale, or promotional terms may supplement these Terms; if they conflict, the more specific terms control for that transaction.
