No Veterinary Medical Advice
Certain Whistle products, including but not limited to Whistle Health, Whistle Switch, and Whistle Go Explore, track pet behaviors that may indicate that it is appropriate to contact a veterinarian. These behaviors include but are not limited to scratching, licking, sleeping, eating, and drinking habits. THE TRACKING AND ANALYSIS OF THESE BEHAVIORS BY THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE DIAGNOSIS, CURE, MITIGATION, TREATMENT, OR PREVENTION OF ANY DISEASE OR OTHER CONDITION, AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN IN-PERSON VISIT WITH A VETERINARIAN.
THE CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE AND INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE WHISTLE SERVICES AND APPLICATION ARE PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. WHILE YOU MAY SEEK AND ACCESS INFORMATION ABOUT CARING FOR YOUR PET THROUGH THE WEBSITE, APPLICATION, PRODUCTS, AND/OR SERVICES, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE WEBSITE, APPLICATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES DO NOT CONSIST OF, CONTAIN, OR PROVIDE VETERINARY MEDICAL ADVICE AND ARE SOLELY INFORMATIONAL IN NATURE. RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR FOUND ON THE WEBSITE, APPLICATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES IS PURELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED VETERINARY PROFESSIONAL IN-PERSON BEFORE TAKING OR REFRAINING FROM ANY ACTION. ON THE BASIS OF THE CONTENT ON OUR SITE. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES RELATED TO ANY VETERINARY MEDICAL ADVICE PROCURED THROUGH THE WEBSITE, APPLICATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES.
The Website, Application, Products, and/or Services may allow you to connect remotely with veterinarians (“Veterinarians”), and/or to interact with a chatbot, to get answers to general pet care questions and information that may help you decide whether it is prudent to seek immediate in-person veterinary attention. Your use of these features, and the information you receive from the Veterinarians and/or chatbot, does not create a veterinary-client patient relationship, is not a substitute for an in-person visit with a veterinarian, and is not intended to provide a specific diagnosis or treatment plan for your pet.
Whistle does not practice veterinary medicine, veterinary technician services, or any other licensed profession, nor does Whistle interfere with the practice of veterinary medicine, veterinary technician services, or any other licensed profession by the Veterinarians.
Each Veterinarian is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. Neither Whistle nor any of its affiliates shall be liable for any damages caused by the advice you or your pet obtains from the Veterinarians or chatbot or the decisions you make after using these features. The remote nature of the services provided by our Veterinary Professionals means that they can only provide you with general guidance about your pet, and is not intended to act as a substitute for a veterinary examination and advice. Information provided relating to the condition of your pet is intended as a guide only, and to help you to decide how quickly you should seek veterinary attention for your pet. If you are in any doubt over your pet’s condition, telephone your pet’s vet for advice. All sessions with the Veterinary Professional are not intended to amount to advice on which any reliance should be placed. Given the remote nature of the interaction, the Veterinary Professional’s cannot therefore be held responsible unless their guidance was not given with reasonable care and skill.
Your electronic (including audio and video) and phone communications with the Veterinarians will be kept confidential and are conducted over Whistle’s secure technology.
Fees and Payment
Fees: All fees and charges shall be notified to you in advance and shall be inclusive of VAT. You shall pay all applicable fees in connection with such Products, Plans and Services selected by you.

When you provide a Payment Method to access your Plan, including in connection with a free trial offer, our system will attempt to verify the information you entered. We do this by processing an authorization hold, which is standard practice. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold. If your Payment Method expires and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account, you authorise us to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
Trial Programs. Whistle may, in its sole discretion, offer free or discounted trial programs that convert into paid automatically renewing subscriptions.

General. The failure of Whistle to exercise, in any respect, any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Whistle shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Whistle’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Whistle may transfer, assign, or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without your consent, and will notify you if it exercises this right.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, you and Whistle agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under this Agreement and this Agreement does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement.
Whistle reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this EULA by posting a revised EULA in the Application and mailing or emailing notice thereof to you. In addition, Whistle may add, modify, or delete any aspect, program, or feature of the Application, although Whistle is not under any obligation to add any upgrade, enhancement, or modification, where Whistle is materially changing an aspect of the Software, we shall notify you in advance. If you wish to terminate our agreement as a result, please contact to let us know. Your continued use of the Application following any announced change will be conclusively deemed acceptance of any change to the terms and conditions of this EULA (and acceptance of the version of this EULA then in effect).
