1. Nature of Service
OurPetGroomer.com ("we," "us," "our") operates an online pet grooming directory. We provide listing visibility services to grooming businesses ("Groomers") and informational resources to pet owners. By claiming or upgrading a listing, you agree to these Terms.
2. Listing Tiers Are Advertising Services
Paid listing tiers (Verified, Featured, Spotlight) are advertising services — we sell visibility and prominence within our directory. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC NUMBER OF LEADS, CALLS, CLICKS, OR CUSTOMERS. Results depend on many factors outside our control including your location, competition, service quality, and seasonal demand. Purchasing a listing upgrade does not guarantee business results.
3. Automatic Renewal — IMPORTANT
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY
MONTHLY AND ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNTIL CANCELED. Monthly subscriptions renew every 30 days. Annual subscriptions renew every 12 months. For annual subscriptions, we will email you a renewal reminder at least 30 days before your renewal date. Cancel anytime from your dashboard at ourpetgroomer.com/dashboard/billing or by emailing [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds for partial periods.
4. Billing & Payment
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing a payment method, you authorize us to charge it on each renewal date. All prices are USD. Failed payments result in a 7-day grace period before your listing reverts to Free tier. You are responsible for keeping your payment method current.
