The appropriate use of laser therapy depends on factors such as the animal’s diagnosis, medical history, treatment area, device, treatment settings, and response to therapy.
Use of this website does not establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship with Dr. Candy Akers or Laser Therapy for Pets.
Please review the separate Veterinary Disclaimer for additional information.

This website does not provide emergency veterinary services.
If your pet is experiencing severe pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, collapse, seizures, sudden paralysis, possible poisoning, or another urgent condition, contact a local veterinarian or veterinary emergency hospital immediately.

Downloadable Materials
Laser Therapy for Pets may offer worksheets, guides, checklists, charts, ebooks, treatment logs, and other downloadable materials.

Unless otherwise stated on the applicable sales page:
- Course access is provided only to the individual purchaser.
- Login credentials may not be shared.
- Course videos, transcripts, handouts, and downloads may not be copied, recorded, redistributed, or republished.
- Enrollment does not authorize the purchaser to teach, certify, or train others using the course materials.

- Course access may be suspended or terminated when these terms are violated.
The sales page may provide additional terms concerning access duration, live sessions, technical requirements, updates, or completion requirements. Those additional terms become part of these Terms of Use when you purchase or enroll.
Accounts and Passwords
Some future courses or resources may require a user account.
You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate account information
- Protecting your username and password
- Restricting access to your account and devices
- Notifying Laser Therapy for Pets of suspected unauthorized use
You may not create an account for another person without permission or allow multiple people to use an individual account.

Purchases and Payments
When paid products, downloads, or courses are offered, prices and payment terms will be displayed on the applicable sales page or checkout screen.
You agree to provide current and accurate billing information and authorize the stated charges when completing a purchase.
Additional taxes, processing terms, or third-party payment-provider terms may apply.
Laser Therapy for Pets does not guarantee that every product, course, or service will remain available indefinitely. Prices and offerings may be changed or discontinued, but changes will not alter a completed purchase except as permitted by the purchase terms or applicable law.
Refunds and Cancellations
The refund or cancellation terms for a paid resource, course, or program will be stated on its sales page or during checkout.
Please review those terms before completing a purchase. When a specific offer includes a separate written refund policy, that policy will control for that purchase.
Nothing in these Terms of Use limits any refund, cancellation, or consumer right that cannot legally be waived.
If recurring memberships or subscriptions are introduced, the price, billing frequency, renewal terms, and cancellation instructions will be disclosed before enrollment. Recurring-payment terms should remain clear and cancellation requests should be handled according to the disclosed policy and applicable consumer-protection laws.
Product Recommendations and Affiliate Relationships
This website may discuss or recommend laser devices, supplements, equipment, educational resources, or other products.
Some recommendations may include affiliate links, referral arrangements, commercial relationships, or products sold by a business affiliated with Dr. Candy Akers.
Material financial or commercial relationships will be disclosed where appropriate. The existence of a relationship does not guarantee that a product is appropriate for every animal or situation.
The Federal Trade Commission advises that material connections should be disclosed clearly where a recommendation is made, rather than relying solely on a separate policy page.
No Guaranteed Results
Laser therapy outcomes vary among animals.
No article, course, testimonial, treatment example, product description, or other content guarantees that a pet will experience a particular result.
Outcomes may depend on the diagnosis, severity and duration of the condition, treatment protocol, device, treatment frequency, other veterinary care, and the individual animal’s response.
Testimonials and examples describe individual experiences and should not be interpreted as promises of typical or guaranteed results.
Accuracy and Changes to Information
I make reasonable efforts to provide helpful and accurate information. However, veterinary knowledge, research, product specifications, manufacturer instructions, prices, and legal requirements may change.
The website may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or differences of professional opinion.
Content may be corrected, updated, reorganized, or removed without notice. You should verify important information and follow the current instructions supplied with any device or product.
Third-Party Websites and Services
This website may link to manufacturers, retailers, payment processors, video platforms, research publications, social-media sites, or other third parties.
These links are provided for convenience and information. I do not control and am not responsible for the content, security, availability, privacy practices, terms, products, or services of third-party websites.
Your use of an outside website is governed by that website’s own policies and terms.
Communications and User Submissions
You may be able to submit questions, comments, reviews, photographs, testimonials, or other content.
You are responsible for ensuring that anything you submit:
- Is accurate to the best of your knowledge
- Does not violate another person’s privacy
- Does not infringe copyright or other legal rights
- Is not unlawful, defamatory, threatening, fraudulent, or harmful
- Does not contain confidential information that you are not authorized to disclose
Submitting general information through the website does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship.
Do not submit urgent veterinary information, payment-card information, passwords, government identification numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information through a general contact form.
Permission to Use Submitted Content
When you voluntarily submit a testimonial, review, photograph, or other content for publication, you grant Laser Therapy for Pets a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, format, and display that content for the purpose for which it was submitted.
Personally identifying information will not be intentionally published as part of a testimonial without permission.
You may contact Laser Therapy for Pets to request that voluntarily submitted published content be removed. Removal may not be possible from materials already printed, distributed, archived, or lawfully shared by others.
Website Availability
I do not guarantee that the website or any particular content, download, account, or course will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
Access may be temporarily or permanently limited because of maintenance, updates, security concerns, technical problems, discontinued services, or circumstances outside my control.
Disclaimer of Warranties

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities, or reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the website, infringement of another person’s rights, unauthorized redistribution of protected materials, or violation of these Terms of Use.

- Violates these terms
- Shares protected course or download materials

Governing Law
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Oklahoma, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be handled in a court with appropriate jurisdiction, subject to any rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
Changes to These Terms
These Terms of Use may be updated when the website, products, courses, services, or legal obligations change.

Material changes affecting an existing paid course or account may also be communicated through the website or the contact information associated with the purchase.
Severability
If any portion of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
