OPS’ SPOTON VIRTUAL SMART FENCE™ HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH
THE MOST ADVANCED, RELIABLE COMPONENTS AND BEST PRACTICES
KNOWN. NO COLLAR, OR FOR THAT MATTER NO FENCE, PHYSICAL OR
VIRTUAL, CAN COMPLETELY PREVENT A DOG FROM ESCAPING A CON-
TAINMENT AREA, OR PREVENT PERSONS OR OBJECTS FROM ENTERING
A CONTAINMENT AREA AND HARMING, OR TAKING A DOG, AND OPS IS
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH OCCURRENCES. FURTHERMORE, OPS IS
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HARM, INCLUDING DEATH, THAT MAY OCCUR
TO AN INDIVIDUAL ENTERING AN AREA WHERE A DOG OR OTHER PET IS
LOCATED. OPS’ PRODUCTS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR (I) COMMON
SENSE OR INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY; (II) FOR A PET OWNER’S TRAIN-
ING OF HIS/HER PET, OR AN OWNER’S DILIGENCE TO CONTAIN A PET
WITHIN A DESIRED AREA.
OPS’ PRODUCTS ARE NOT A SOLID BARRIER AND WILL NOT WORK, AS
INTENDED, WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING. FURTHER, OPS’ PRODUCTS
ARE NOT FOR USE WITH VICIOUS ANIMALS OR GUARD DOGS. IF YOU
BELIEVE YOUR DOG MAY POSE A THREAT TO OTHERS, DO NOT USE THIS
SYSTEM.
OPS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HARM (PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL),
INJURY OR DEATH OF YOUR DOG FOR ANY REASON TO INCLUDE, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, EXCESSIVE ELECTRONIC STIMULATION, INJURY OR
DEATH WHILE IN A CONTAINMENT AREA, INJURY OR DEATH OUTSIDE A
CONTAINMENT AREA, FAILURE TO LOCATE DOG, THEFT OF THE DOG, OR
ANIMAL ABUSE.
Some of our Services are available on mobile devices. The services
allow you to navigate by vehicle or on foot to a dog’s location. IT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO USE GOOD JUDGMENT WHILE NAVIGATING. YOU
SHOULD NOT BECOME FIXATED ON THE MOBILE DEVICE AND LOSE
OVERALL SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. LOSS OF SITUATIONAL AWARE-
NESS, WHETHER IN A VEHICLE, OR ON FOOT, OR OTHERWISE MOVING
CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR OBEYING STATE LAWS REGARDING THE USE OF MOBILE DEVICES
WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE.
At certain times such as when creating a custom map, or tracking your
dog using map mode or compass mode, or at other times, you will be
walking with the SpotOn Collar or App. WHEN WALKING WITH THE SPO-
TON COLLAR OR SPOTON APP IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU MAINTAIN
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. THIS SITUATIONAL AWARENESS NEEDS TO
INCLUDE THE GROUND BEING WALKED ON, LACK OF GROUND TO BE
WALKED ON SUCH AS THE PRESENCE OF A CLIFF, GULLY, RAVINE, HOLE
OR OTHER SURFACE AREA LOWER THAN THE SURFACE BEING WALKED
ON, OBSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR PATH SUCH AS ROCKS, LOGS, CORDS,
VINES, OR OTHER OBJECT THAT CAN CAUSE A TRIPPING HAZARD OR
RESULT IN BODILY INJURY. ALSO, BE AWARE OF OBJECTS IN YOU PATH
SUCH AS TREES, TREE BRANCHES, CLOTHES LINES, BARS, WALLS OR
ANY OTHER OBJECT THAT YOU COULD IMPACT WITH ANY PART OF YOUR
BODY. NEVER WALK IN OR NEAR WOODED AREAS OR NEAR OTHER OB-
JECTS THAT COULD TOPPLE, FALL, BREAK OFF OR OTHERWISE STRIKE
YOU, ESPECIALLY DURING PERIODS OF HIGH WIND CONDITIONS. FAIL-
URE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS CAN RESULT
IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Intended Use
The SpotOn Collar and Services provided are intended for use with a dog
as a means to maintain the dog in a yard or other safe designated area in
a way that is more humane than other retention means such as physical
fences that can block their view of surroundings, dog runs, or similar
means of containment. SpotOn Services are also intended to enable peo-
ple and their dogs to spend more time together by enabling User to take
their dog with them knowing they can create a virtual fence wherever
they go. With the SpotOn collar, many Users will be able to train their
dog without the need for aversive means. For Users who deem aversive
means necessary to teach their dog to safely stay in the designated area,
the lowest effective static correction level should be set as described in
SpotOn training material. OPS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DISCONTINUE
SERVICE AND PROSECUTE ANY USER FOUND TO NOT USE THE SPOTON
COLLAR OR SERVICE AS INTENDED, AND IN AN APPROPRIATE AND
HUMANE MANNER.
