Terms and Conditions
Effective date: September 4, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.cahabamountainbrookac.com (the "Website"), operated by Cahaba Mountain Brook Animal Clinic ("CMBAC," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
Website Information Is Not Veterinary Advice
The Website provides general educational and informational content only. It is not a substitute for an examination, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed veterinarian who is familiar with your pet. Website content and electronic communications do not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. A veterinarian-client-patient relationship is established only as permitted by applicable law and professional requirements.
Do not disregard or delay seeking veterinary care because of information found on the Website. Treatment recommendations depend on an individual animal's condition and history.
Emergencies
Do not use the Website, contact forms, email, or text messages for urgent or emergency veterinary needs. These channels may not be monitored continuously. If you believe an animal is experiencing an emergency, call our office at (205) 967-6759 during business hours or promptly contact an appropriate emergency veterinary facility.
Appointments and Electronic Requests
Submitting an appointment or contact request does not guarantee or confirm an appointment. An appointment is confirmed only when you receive confirmation from us or our scheduling provider. Website availability, service descriptions, and operating hours may change. Please contact us directly if you have not received confirmation or if your pet's needs have changed.
Third-Party Services
The Website may link to or integrate services operated by third parties, including Squarespace, Covetrus appointment and pharmacy services, mapping services, payment providers, social media platforms, or other vendors. We do not control third-party websites or their content, availability, security, products, or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy. A link does not necessarily constitute our endorsement of all content or services offered by that party.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
use the Website for unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive purposes;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, accounts, systems, or data;
introduce malware or interfere with the Website's operation or security;
use automated means to scrape, copy, or overload the Website except as permitted by law; or
impersonate another person or submit information you are not authorized to provide.
Intellectual Property
The Website and its text, graphics, photographs, logos, branding, design, and other content are owned by or licensed to CMBAC and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and print reasonable portions for your personal, noncommercial use. You may not reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit Website content without our prior written permission, except as allowed by law.
Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information through the Website are described in our [/privacy-policy]Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Disclaimer of Website Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that the Website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, complete, or current. Nothing in these Terms disclaims warranties or duties that cannot lawfully be disclaimed. This section concerns the Website and does not alter any separate written agreement or professional duty governing veterinary services actually provided by CMBAC.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CMBAC and its owners, employees, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of—or inability to use—the Website or reliance on general Website content. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, and this provision does not alter duties relating to veterinary services actually provided to a patient.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses, liabilities, claims, and reasonable expenses resulting from your unlawful use of the Website, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.
Changes and Website Availability
We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Website after the revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of those Terms. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal proceeding concerning the Website or these Terms must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Jefferson County, Alabama, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, and the affected provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and CMBAC concerning use of the Website. They do not replace separate agreements, consent forms, estimates, policies, or terms that apply to veterinary or other services.
