Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.macvetservices.com (the "Site"), operated by Midwest Anesthesia Consulting Veterinary Services LLC, doing business as MACvet Services ("MACvet," "we," "our," or "us").

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

The Site is informational. It describes MACvet's veterinary anesthesia consulting and continuing education offerings, hosts educational content, and provides a contact form for inquiries.

Engagement of MACvet's paid consultation or training services is governed by a separately executed Consultation and Training Service Agreement (the "Service Agreement"). Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to provide services or creates a contractual obligation to deliver services. A Service Agreement must be signed before any consultation or training is provided.

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its underlying systems
• Scrape, harvest, or otherwise extract content from the Site by automated means without our prior written consent
• Use the Site to transmit malware, spam, or unlawful content
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us through the Site

All content on the Site — including text, articles, blog posts, training material previews, images, graphics, logos, the MACvet name and branding, and the underlying code — is the exclusive property of MACvet or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may view and share Site content for personal, non-commercial educational purposes with attribution. You may not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, or use Site content for commercial or instructional purposes without MACvet's prior written consent. Unauthorized use may result in legal action, including claims for injunctive relief, damages, and recovery of legal fees.

When you submit information through the Site (for example, via the contact form), you represent that the information is accurate and that you have the authority to share it.

We treat clinical case information shared through inquiries as confidential and use it only to evaluate and respond to your inquiry. See our Privacy Policy for details on how submitted information is handled.

Content on the Site — including blog posts, guideline summaries, and resource pages — is educational and informational in nature. It is not individualized veterinary advice and does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship.

You must rely on the professional judgment of the attending veterinarian for any clinical decision. See our Medical Disclaimer for full terms.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, references to external publications, or embedded social media content. We provide these links and references as a convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Your use of any third-party site is governed by that site's own terms and privacy policy.

The Site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MACvet shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to lost revenue, lost profits, lost data, or end-client (e.g., pet owner) dissatisfaction — arising from or related to your use of the Site or its content.

Responsibility for clinical case outcomes remains with the attending veterinarian and the veterinary practice. This limitation applies whether the claim is based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and survives termination of these Terms.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MACvet, its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

MACvet shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform under these Terms due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, public health emergencies, internet or hosting provider outages, or other force majeure events.

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Venue for any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall be in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois. This provision survives termination of these Terms.

Any disputes arising under these Terms shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If resolution is not reached, the parties agree to submit the matter to mediation before initiating litigation, except for actions seeking injunctive or equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other notices posted on the Site, constitute the entire understanding between you and MACvet regarding your use of the Site. Paid services are governed separately by the executed Consultation and Training Service Agreement.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
