Disclaimer, Terms and Conditions for PetMicrochipLookupTool.org
Acceptance of Terms
The AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool was created by AAHA and the various
Pet Recovery Service registries identified
on PetMicrochipLookup.org (both AAHA and the Participating Companies are referred
to as “We” “Us” or “Our”) to assist in the process of reuniting lost pets with their
owners (the “Service”). Your access and use of this site and its services bind you
to this Agreement. If you do not agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use for this
site, you may not use the site or its services.
AAHA provides an Internet-based application which enables veterinarians, humane
organizations, pet owners or other persons to search various
Pet Recovery Service registries and identify those registries on which a
particular microchip is registered. AAHA is not affiliated or involved with any
specific microchip registry and has no relationship, financial or otherwise, with
this Participating Pet Recovery Service
Registry (“Registry”). This Registry has given AAHA permission to search the Registry’s
database in order to assist pet owners in being reunited with their pets. AAHA does
not maintain a database of microchips of its own. It only links to registries such
as this one. The AAHA Universal Microchip Lookup Tool only searches the databases
of companies that elect to participate in the program.
