Lumo Bites is operated by Premier Pet Nutrition LLC ("Lumo Bites," "we," "us," or "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By signing up or using Lumo Bites, you agree to abide by these Terms of Service.

2. Marketplace & Connection Disclaimer

Lumo Bites is a platform that facilitates connections and information coordination between pet owners, pet sitters, veterinary boarding facilities, pet daycares, adopters, and animal shelters/rescues. We are not a party to any agreement or transaction between users. Lumo Bites does not inspect homes, facilities, pets, shelters, or sitters, and does not guarantee the behavior, reliability, quality, or outcome of any interaction between users. Users engage with one another at their own risk.

3. Identity & Organization Verification

While Lumo Bites may verify certain identity or organizational information for select account types, we do not perform criminal background checks, background screenings, or reference checks. It is the responsibility of all parties to exercise appropriate judgment and vet one another as they see fit.

4. Membership Fees & Subscriptions

Membership and subscription fees are non-refundable, though members retain access to paid features through the end of their current billing period upon cancellation. Subscription renewals continue automatically until canceled. Users may cancel at any time through their App Store, Google Play, or Stripe billing settings, as applicable. Certain features may currently be offered free of charge; Lumo Bites reserves the right to introduce or change fees, or booking/marketplace charges, for any feature in the future, with reasonable advance notice where required.

5. Payments Between Users

Where Lumo Bites facilitates payments between users (such as pet sitting bookings) through a third-party payment processor, Lumo Bites is not responsible for disputes between users regarding those payments, beyond facilitating the technical transaction.

6. Account Removal & Content Moderation

We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content or abusive behavior. We reserve the right to remove any post, message, or review, and to suspend or terminate any account that violates our safety standards or these Terms. Reports are reviewed and addressed within a reasonable time.

7. Feature-Specific Disclaimers

Certain features are provided for informational, coordination, or entertainment purposes and do not constitute professional advice (including but not limited to veterinary, nutritional, or legal advice). This includes features such as ingredient and food analysis, breed/appearance matching, recall alerts, lost pet reunification tools, adoption matching, and user-generated pet profile records or emergency QR passports. Lumo Bites does not guarantee the accuracy of user-submitted care notes or any particular outcome from platform features.

8. AI-Powered Features & Usage Limits

Lumo Bites uses artificial intelligence to power certain features (including ingredient safety analysis, photo food scanner, pet twin matcher, lost pet photo search, sitter search, and adoption matcher). Standard free accounts (pet owners and sitters without an active subscription or partner plan) receive 2 total lifetime complimentary AI uses across all interactive AI tools. Lumo Bites Membership ($4.99/month recurring) and active Partner Subscriptions (Veterinary Boarding, Pet Daycare, and Animal Shelters) automatically include 5 AI uses per 24-hour rolling period. AI-generated results are provided for informational purposes only, may not always be accurate, and should not replace independent judgment or professional advice.

9. Beta & Experimental Features; No Guarantee of Availability

Certain features may be offered on an experimental or beta basis. Features may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without liability.

10. Organization Accounts

Organizations registering an account (such as a Shelter/Rescue partner, Veterinary Clinic, or Pet Daycare) represent that they are a legitimate organization and that the information provided is accurate. Individuals registering on behalf of an organization represent that they are authorized to do so and are at least 18 years old. Lumo Bites reserves the right to approve, reject, or revoke any organization account at its sole discretion.
