Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 11, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Petzio, a software service operated by Maytham Ajam (“Petzio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

1. What Petzio Does

Petzio provides communication software for pet boarding facilities, pet hotels, kennels, dog daycares, and similar businesses. Petzio helps facilities manage owner update requests and send photo, video, and note updates to pet owners.

Petzio is only a communication tool. Petzio does not provide pet care, veterinary care, boarding services, emergency services, medical advice, or safety supervision.

2. Business Customers and Pet Owners

Only businesses and facilities may create Petzio accounts.

Pet owners may access update links, owner portals, or other limited pages provided by a facility. Pet owners do not create full business accounts unless separately authorized by Petzio.

Facilities are responsible for the pet owners, staff members, pets, and content connected to their account.

3. Account Eligibility

To create or use a Petzio business account, you must be at least 18 years old and authorized to create an account on behalf of the business or facility you represent.

You are responsible for keeping your login information secure and for all activity under your account.

4. Subscriptions and Payment

Petzio requires an active paid subscription. There is no free plan and no free trial unless we separately state otherwise.

Subscriptions may be billed monthly or annually depending on the plan selected at checkout or in the billing portal. Subscriptions renew according to the billing plan and settings selected at checkout or in the billing portal, unless canceled before the next billing period.

Customers may cancel anytime. If a customer cancels, they keep access until the end of the current paid billing period, then access ends unless they renew.

Payments are non-refundable except where required by law.

5. Customer Content

Customers may upload or submit pet owner information, pet names, photos, videos, notes, update requests, and related content (“Customer Content”).

Customers keep ownership of their Customer Content. By using Petzio, customers give Petzio permission to store, process, display, and transmit Customer Content as needed to provide the service.

Customers are responsible for having the necessary rights, permissions, and consents to upload, store, and share Customer Content through Petzio.

6. Facility Responsibilities

Facilities remain fully responsible for:

  • pet care and supervision
  • pet safety
  • medical decisions
  • emergency decisions
  • the accuracy of updates sent to pet owners
  • obtaining permission to upload and share pet owner information, pet names, photos, videos, and notes

  • use Petzio in a way that harms Petzio, other customers, pet owners, or third parties

8. Service Availability

Petzio will try to keep the service reliable, but we do not guarantee that Petzio will always be available, error-free, secure, or uninterrupted.

We may update, modify, pause, or discontinue parts of the service at any time.

9. Changes to Features, Plans, or Pricing

Petzio may update features, plans, or pricing over time.

Price changes will not affect the current billing period and will apply at renewal or as otherwise stated at checkout or in the billing portal.

Customers should export or save anything they need before access ends.
