3. The Service
3.1. What VETZY does. VETZY is a conversational concierge for pet owners. It retrieves and presents general information about veterinary clinics, veterinary specialists, pet food brands, pet products, pet professionals, pet-related services and pet lifestyle topics. It can assist Pet Owners in locating providers, comparing options, booking appointments and, where supported, completing payments within the chat.
3.2. What VETZY is not. VETZY is not a veterinarian, a medical device, a clinical decision-support system, an emergency service, a diagnostic tool, a prescribing system or a substitute for professional veterinary advice. VETZY does not diagnose, prognose, prescribe, dispense medicines or perform any clinical assessment of any animal. VETZY does not replace your relationship with your licensed veterinarian.
3.3. No clinical advice. Any output from VETZY relating to symptoms, conditions, treatments, medicines, dosages, diets, supplements or behaviour is provided as general information only and never as clinical, medical, nutritional, legal, financial or insurance advice. You must always consult a licensed veterinarian for any clinical question and call your local emergency veterinary service in case of urgency.
3.4. AI nature of the Service. The Service relies on artificial-intelligence components, including large language models and retrieval pipelines. AI Output may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, biased, unsuitable for your circumstances or, on rare occasions, fabricated. You must always exercise your own judgement and verify any material decision with a licensed professional before acting on it.
3.5. Free of charge for Pet Owners. Use of VETZY by Pet Owners is free of charge. Paid services are reserved to Professional Users and Business Users under the conditions of the relevant plan, and to Master Franchisees and Regional Partners under their separate agreements.
3.6. Languages. The Service is available in English, Italian, French and German, with progressive rollout in further languages. The reference version of these Terms is the English version. Any translation is provided for convenience only. In case of conflict, the English version prevails.
3.7. Channels. The Service is delivered primarily through WhatsApp Business Platform and Telegram Bot Platform, and through the VETZY website. Use of these channels is also governed by the respective platform terms, which apply in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for any failure, downtime, suspension or change of policy of those platforms.
3.8. Evolution. We may add, modify, suspend or discontinue features, capabilities, integrations, geographical coverage and supported languages at any time, with or without notice, subject to clauses 18 and 19.
4. Accounts, identifiers and onboarding
4.1. Pet Owners. No account or sign-up is required. You access the Service by sending a message from your WhatsApp or Telegram number, which acts as your identifier. By initiating the conversation you confirm that the number is yours and that you are entitled to use it.
4.2. Professional Users and Business Users. An onboarding process applies, requiring verifiable information about the entity, licence (where applicable), insurance, contact details and tax information. We may refuse or revoke onboarding at our discretion, in particular where licensing, insurance, brand fit, compliance or sanctions reasons require it.
4.3. Accuracy of information. You undertake to provide accurate, complete and current information at onboarding and to update it without delay when it changes. We may rely on the information provided without further verification.

- use the Service for content that exploits, sexualises, harms or endangers animals or humans, including illegal breeding, illegal trafficking, dog-fighting, cruelty or any other prohibited activity.
5.2. We may, at our discretion, monitor, filter, rate-limit, suspend or terminate access to any User who breaches this clause, with or without prior notice and without prejudice to our other remedies.
6. Bookings, transactions and payments inside the chat
Payments executed within the Service rely on the Customer Wallet opened in your name by Ephelia SwissTech SA under clause 7. By using the payment functionality of the Service you confirm that you have read and accepted the SwissTech Terms.
6.1. Bookings. Some Professional Users allow appointment bookings inside the chat. When you book, you enter into a separate contract with the relevant Professional User for the service or product concerned. Odren acts as an intermediary and is not a party to that contract unless expressly stated.
6.2. Payments. Where in-chat payment is available, payment may be processed by one or more of the following methods, subject to availability in your country: traditional card networks, e-money, cryptocurrencies and agentic-payment standards (including but not limited to the x402 standard for agent-to-agent settlement). Payment is processed by Odren or by a duly licensed payment service provider acting on our behalf, in accordance with the applicable payment-services framework.
6.3. Pricing transparency. All prices, fees, applicable taxes, fee components, refund conditions and cancellation rules are displayed before you confirm a transaction.
6.4. Refunds, complaints and consumer rights. Refunds and cancellations are governed by the policy of the Professional User or Business User providing the underlying service. Statutory consumer rights, where applicable, are not affected by these Terms.
6.5. Cryptocurrency and agentic payments. If you choose a cryptocurrency or agentic-payment method, you acknowledge that such methods may be subject to volatility, irreversibility of on-chain transactions, settlement delays and additional fees. You confirm that any wallet, address or agent used is yours and is funded with assets you are entitled to dispose of. We are not responsible for losses caused by erroneous addresses, network congestion, smart-contract failure, third-party agent malfunction or volatility.
6.6. Anti-money-laundering and screening. Transactions may be subject to identity verification, sanctions screening, anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing checks. We may delay, decline, block, reverse, freeze or report any transaction where we have reasonable grounds to do so under applicable law.
7. Wallet, custody and payment infrastructure
7.1. Customer Wallet opened by Ephelia SwissTech SA. In order to deliver a correct, secure and performant payment experience inside the chat, a Customer Wallet is opened in your name by Ephelia SwissTech SA, a Swiss joint-stock company with registered office at Via Nassa 3A, 6900 Lugano, Switzerland, Swiss commercial register number CHE-179.848.999, qualified as a financial intermediary under article 2 paragraph 3 of the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act and affiliated with the self-regulatory organisation Polyreg. Ephelia SwissTech SA is part of the Ephelia Group. The Customer Wallet comprises a FIAT Wallet for the temporary receipt and custody of fiat electronic money and a Crypto Wallet for the custody of digital assets, including stablecoins.
7.2. SwissTech Terms apply in addition. The opening, operation, funding, use, custody, exchange, suspension and closure of the Customer Wallet are governed by the terms of use of Ephelia SwissTech SA published at epheliagroup.com/terms/ephelia-swisstech-sa (the \u201cSwissTech Terms\u201d), as amended from time to time. The SwissTech Terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the payment functionality of the Service you acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted the SwissTech Terms. In case of conflict between these Terms and the SwissTech Terms with respect to the operation of the Customer Wallet, the SwissTech Terms prevail.
7.3. Registration and KYC with Ephelia SwissTech SA. The opening of the Customer Wallet is conditional on the successful completion of the registration, identity verification and anti-money-laundering checks operated by Ephelia SwissTech SA, in accordance with the SwissTech Terms and applicable Swiss law. You undertake to provide to Ephelia SwissTech SA true, complete and up-to-date information and documents, including, where applicable, personal data, identity documents, tax data, residential address, beneficial owner information, source of funds, source of wealth, politically exposed person status and any other information requested. Failure to complete or maintain the required information may result in the refusal, suspension or closure of the Customer Wallet and may prevent you from using paid features of the Service.
7.4. Segregation and individual attribution. Each Customer Wallet is individually attributed to, and registered in, your name. Customer Wallets are strictly segregated from the own assets of Ephelia SwissTech SA and from the wallets of other customers, with technical, organisational and accounting measures aligned with the applicable Swiss regulations. No interest accrues on funds held in the FIAT Wallet.
7.5. Temporary fiat custody and automatic stablecoin conversion. Fiat funds credited to the FIAT Wallet are held on a temporary basis for the sole purpose of executing a Transaction. Pursuant to the SwissTech Terms, if no Transaction is executed and no withdrawal instruction is given within sixty (60) calendar days from the credit, any residual fiat balance is automatically converted into stablecoins on a best-execution basis and credited to your Crypto Wallet, at the exchange rate determined by Ephelia SwissTech SA at the time of conversion. Conversion costs are borne by you. You acknowledge that this automatic conversion is essential to the operational set-up and constitutes an irrevocable instruction given to Ephelia SwissTech SA upon your acceptance of the SwissTech Terms.
7.6. Cards, IBANs and partner infrastructure. For the operation of the Customer Wallet, Ephelia SwissTech SA may rely on regulated partners, including without limitation Currencycloud and Clear Junction for electronic-money issuance and payment rails, and Wallester AS for the issuance of prepaid or debit cards linked to your FIAT Wallet or Crypto Wallet, in which case Ephelia SwissTech SA acts as program manager. The contractual relationship in respect of those services is regulated by the SwissTech Terms and by the terms of the relevant partner.
7.7. Restrictions. You confirm that you are not a resident of, domiciled in or otherwise significantly connected to a country listed by Ephelia SwissTech SA as an Excluded Country, that you are not a sanctioned person or entity, that you do not appear on the consolidated lists maintained by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury or other competent authorities, and that you are not a shell bank. Any breach of this representation entitles Ephelia SwissTech SA and Odren to suspend or close the Customer Wallet and your access to the Service immediately.
7.8. No investment advice. Neither Ephelia SwissTech SA nor Odren provides investment advice, portfolio management, underwriting or tax, legal or regulatory advice in relation to fiat funds, stablecoins or digital assets held in the Customer Wallet. Any decision concerning the funding, conversion, exchange or withdrawal of assets is taken by you, at your own risk.
7.9. Data sharing with the Wallet Provider. In order to open and operate the Customer Wallet, Odren shares with Ephelia SwissTech SA the personal data and other information strictly necessary for the registration, identity verification, AML/KYC, transaction execution, accounting, audit, tax reporting and dispute-resolution purposes set out in the SwissTech Terms. Ephelia SwissTech SA acts as an independent data controller for those processing activities, in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and applicable laws. The full data flow is described in the Privacy Notice and in the SwissTech Terms.
7.10. Liability. Subject to clause 17, Odren is not liable for any act, omission, default, suspension, downtime, freeze, loss, slippage, exchange-rate movement, stablecoin de-pegging, smart-contract failure, partner failure or other event affecting the Customer Wallet, save where such event is caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Odren itself. The contractual relationship in respect of the Customer Wallet is between you and Ephelia SwissTech SA.
8. Plans, pricing and billing for Professional Users
8.1. Plans. Professional Users may subscribe to the Listing, Smart, Pro or Premium plan, or any other plan from time to time published on the Service. The current plan features and prices are those displayed on vetzy.io/grow-your-business and applicable order form at the time of subscription.

8.4. Changes to plans. We may modify plan features, ranking logic, priority-placement rules, attribution criteria and pricing for future renewals, with at least 30 days\u2019 prior notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
8.5. Priority placement. Where priority placement is included, it operates within the boundaries of clause 11 (Editorial neutrality and clinical scope) and is never permitted to override accuracy, safety or regulatory requirements.
9. Business Users (pet food, pharma, insurance and adjacent companies)

9.4. Sampling and trials. Sampling, trial and direct-to-owner logistics must respect local veterinary, pharmacy and consumer-protection rules. The Business User is fully responsible for the legal, regulatory and safety aspects of any sample or product distributed.
10. Intellectual property
10.1. Our rights. Odren and its licensors own all right, title and interest in and to the Service, the AI components, the knowledge base, the brand, the trade marks, the design, the software, the algorithms, the structured data and any AI Output, save for the licences expressly granted in these Terms.
10.2. Your licence to use AI Output. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use AI Output you receive solely for your personal, non-commercial use as a Pet Owner, or for your authorised internal business use as a Professional User or Business User, in either case within the purpose and scope of the Service.
10.3. Your User Content. You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Odren a worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence to host, process, transmit, copy, format, modify, translate, derive aggregated and anonymised data from, and disclose your User Content as needed to operate, secure, improve, evaluate, train, audit and promote the Service, and as further set out in clause 12 (Data and privacy).

11.1. Information first. VETZY operates as an information, discovery, booking and commerce concierge. It does not diagnose, prognose, prescribe, dispense or perform any clinical act.
11.2. Vet review. Recommendations involving health, nutrition or safety are subject to review by licensed veterinarians appointed by Odren or its partners.
11.3. Editorial neutrality. Commercial placement, sponsored visibility and priority placement do not override clinical safety, accuracy, regulatory restrictions or the duty to escalate clinical questions to a licensed veterinarian. Where a query is clinical, the Service routes the User to a licensed veterinary partner rather than to a commercial result.
11.4. Veterinary medicines. The Service does not advertise prescription-only veterinary medicines to Pet Owners in breach of EU Regulation 2019/6. Any reference to prescription-only products is restricted to authorised channels and audiences.
12. Data and privacy
This clause summarises how we process personal and non-personal data. The full Privacy Notice published at vetzy.io/privacy forms part of these Terms. In case of conflict, the Privacy Notice prevails for data-protection matters.
12.1. Data Controller. Odren Ltd, with the registered office set out in clause 1, is the data controller for the processing operations carried out through the Service, save where Odren acts as a processor under a separate written instruction. Ephelia SwissTech SA acts as an independent data controller for the processing related to the Customer Wallet, as described in clause 7.

We rely, depending on the activity, on: performance of a contract, legitimate interests (in particular operating, securing and improving the Service, preventing fraud, conducting analytics, building anonymised insights, and conducting marketing to existing customers), legal obligations (in particular tax, AML and consumer-protection law), and, where required, your consent (in particular for non-essential cookies, certain marketing communications and the processing of sensitive data where applicable).
12.4. Sharing within Odren Group and with Ephelia Group. You expressly acknowledge and accept that your personal data and User Content may be shared with, and processed by, any company within the Odren Group and any company within the Ephelia Group (including Ephelia SwissTech SA as Wallet Provider), in any country in which those groups operate, for the purposes set out in clause 12.5 and in clause 7. Each such transfer is carried out under appropriate safeguards, including, where required, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office and intra-group data-sharing agreements aligned with the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR and the Swiss FADP.

12.6. Anonymised and aggregated data, sale to third parties. You expressly acknowledge and accept that we may anonymise, de-identify, aggregate, summarise or otherwise transform your User Content and personal data so that the resulting data set no longer permits, by any reasonably available means, the identification of any individual User or pet. Such anonymised and aggregated data is not personal data under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR or the Swiss FADP. We may sell, license, share, publish or otherwise commercialise such anonymised and aggregated data with and to third parties, including but not limited to pet food brands, pet pharma companies, insurers, retailers, researchers, regulators, public authorities, investors and any other party we choose, for purposes including market intelligence, benchmarking, analytics, product development, scientific research and commercial monetisation. The revenues of such commercialisation belong to Odren and are not shared with Users.
12.7. Re-identification prohibited. Any recipient of anonymised data is contractually prohibited from attempting to re-identify any individual User or pet, from combining the data with other data sets for that purpose, and from using the data in breach of applicable law.
12.8. Marketing of partner products. Subject to applicable consent or opt-out rights, we may use your personal data to send you communications about products and services of the Odren Group, the Ephelia Group and selected commercial partners, where these are relevant to you. You can withdraw at any time through the channels listed in the Privacy Notice.
12.9. AI training. We may use User Content, including pet data and chat content, to train, fine-tune, evaluate and improve the artificial-intelligence components of the Service and of other Odren Group and Ephelia Group products, including where appropriate after pseudonymisation or anonymisation. Where required by law, we will offer you a means to object or to opt out.
12.10. Voice notes and biometrics. Voice notes are processed to transcribe and answer your message. We do not perform voice-biometric identification on Pet Owners. If voice biometrics are ever introduced, separate consent will be requested.
12.11. Retention. We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, tax and accounting obligations, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and group reporting. Retention periods are listed in the Privacy Notice. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely.
12.12. Your rights. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port and object to the processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office; in the EU, the supervisory authority of your habitual residence; in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner). To exercise your rights, contact us through the channels in the Privacy Notice. Rights regarding wallet-related processing are exercised vis-\u00e0-vis Ephelia SwissTech SA as set out in the SwissTech Terms.
12.13. International transfers. Personal data may be transferred outside the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area and Switzerland, including to countries that do not provide an equivalent level of protection. We implement appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary measures where required.
