Version: 0.2
Effective Date: August 15, 2026
Owner: Brachy Breeze LLC
Purpose
These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the Brachy Breeze website, participation in the Brachy Breeze crowdfunding and market-validation campaign, and transactions conducted through Brachy Breeze online services.
By using the website or completing a transaction, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and any additional agreement or policy presented as applicable to that activity or transaction.
Certain transactions, including Founding Customer Reservations, are governed by more specific agreements in addition to these Terms.
Please review the applicable terms before completing a transaction.
About Brachy Breeze
Brachy Breeze is developing a climate-controlled pet carrier designed with the health, comfort, and safety of brachycephalic dogs and other pets in mind.
The Brachy Breeze carrier remains under product development and is not currently offered as a finished product available for shipment.
Commercial production is not guaranteed.
Information presented through the website may describe proposed product features, specifications, development plans, estimated pricing, anticipated production activity, and other matters that remain subject to change as development continues.
Unless expressly established in an applicable customer agreement, Brachy Breeze does not guarantee a particular product feature, specification, price, production date, shipment date, delivery date, or other future outcome.
Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to complete a transaction through the Brachy Breeze website.
By completing a transaction, you represent that:
- information you provide is accurate and complete;
- you are authorized to use the payment method provided;
- your participation complies with applicable law; and
- you have reviewed and accepted the terms applicable to the transaction.
Brachy Breeze may decline, suspend, or cancel a transaction where reasonably necessary to address suspected fraud, payment problems, technical errors, legal or regulatory requirements, geographic restrictions, or another circumstance preventing the transaction from being responsibly completed.
Any cancellation, refund, or other customer remedy resulting from a Brachy Breeze-initiated action will be handled according to the applicable agreement, policy, and law.
Crowdfunding & Market Validation Campaign
The Brachy Breeze campaign is intended to:
- support continued product and business development;
- validate meaningful market demand;
- generate customer and market intelligence;
- strengthen the development runway; and
- support preparation for potential commercial production and future financing.
The campaign currently provides two participation pathways.
Community Support
Community Support allows participants to financially support continued Brachy Breeze development without establishing a Founding Customer Reservation or receiving a future product credit.
Community Support:
- does not reserve a Brachy Breeze carrier;
- does not create a future purchase credit;
- does not establish a Founding Customer position;
- does not represent an investment or ownership interest in Brachy Breeze;
- does not entitle the contributor to profits, securities, voting rights, or governance rights; and
- does not guarantee that Brachy Breeze will ultimately reach commercial production.
Community Support transactions are governed by these Terms & Conditions and the applicable Crowdfunding Refund Policy.
Community Support is generally non-refundable except where Brachy Breeze elects to provide a refund or applicable law requires otherwise.
Founding Customer Reservations
The First 1,000 Founding Customer program allows prospective customers to make a $500 Founding Customer Reservation supporting continued product development and market validation while establishing a position within the Founding Customer cohort.
If Brachy Breeze reaches commercial production and offers the carrier for purchase, the full $500 reservation amount associated with an active reservation will be credited toward that Customer’s purchase.
A Founding Customer Reservation is distinct from any future completed purchase of a finished Brachy Breeze carrier.
Commercial production is not guaranteed.
Founding Customer Reservations are governed by the:
- Founding Customer Reservation Agreement;
- Crowdfunding Refund Policy;
- these Terms & Conditions; and
- any additional transaction-specific agreement or addendum presented to the Customer.
Relationship Between Governing Documents
These Terms & Conditions establish general rules governing website use and participation through Brachy Breeze online services.
More specific agreements and policies may govern particular transactions or subjects.
Applicable documents may include:
- Founding Customer Reservation Agreement;
- Crowdfunding Refund Policy;
- Founding Customer Market Validation & Product Development Addendum;
- Privacy Policy;
- Cookie Policy;
- future Product Sale Terms; and
- other transaction-specific terms presented before participation or purchase.
Where a more specific agreement or policy addresses a subject differently from these general Terms & Conditions, the more specific provision governs that subject unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Nothing in one Brachy Breeze agreement should be interpreted to eliminate a non-waivable customer right established by applicable law.
Founding Customer Reservation Structure
A Founding Customer Reservation establishes participation in the First 1,000 Founding Customer program.
The reservation currently carries a $500 reservation amount.
The Brachy Breeze carrier currently has an estimated MSRP of approximately $2,000. This is a planning estimate only. Final retail pricing has not been established.
An active Founding Customer Reservation provides a contingent $500 future purchase credit if Brachy Breeze reaches commercial production and offers the carrier for purchase.
The reservation does not guarantee:
- commercial production;
- final retail price;
- exact product specifications;
- manufacturing sequence;
- shipping sequence;
- product availability within a particular country;
- production date;
- shipment date; or
- delivery date.
The complete rights and obligations associated with the reservation are established in the Founding Customer Reservation Agreement.
Reservation Cancellation & Commitment
Founding Customers receive a 14-calendar-day cancellation period beginning on the date of reservation.
During this period, the Customer may cancel according to the Founding Customer Reservation Agreement and Crowdfunding Refund Policy.
If the reservation is not canceled during that period, it becomes a Committed Reservation under the campaign policy.
After commitment, the reservation is generally non-refundable for voluntary Customer cancellation, subject to:
- the Founding Customer Reservation Agreement;
- Crowdfunding Refund Policy;
- Brachy Breeze-approved exceptions; and
- applicable law.
Committed status does not independently establish that reservation-backed cash is legally unrestricted or fully available for development use.
Nothing in the campaign’s 14-day cancellation structure eliminates a cancellation, refund, consent, or other customer right that cannot lawfully be waived.
Use of Reservation-Backed Funds
Founding Customer Reservations support continued Brachy Breeze product development and market validation.
Reservation-backed cash may be used only to the extent permitted by applicable law and approved Brachy Breeze financial controls.
Where permitted, uses may include:
- product development and engineering;
- prototyping and testing;
- tooling and manufacturing preparation;
- professional services;
- business operations;
- financial and production planning;
- customer infrastructure; and
- other legitimate costs associated with advancing Brachy Breeze toward potential commercial production.
Use of reservation-backed cash does not eliminate the $500 future purchase credit associated with an active Founding Customer Reservation.
The financial treatment and controls governing reservation-backed cash are established separately through Brachy Breeze financial governance.
Product Development & Changes
Brachy Breeze remains under development.
As development progresses, Brachy Breeze may modify:
- product specifications;
- components;
- features;
- materials;
- dimensions;
- appearance;
- manufacturing methods;
- suppliers;
- production plans;
- anticipated timing;
- pricing; and
- other product or commercial details.
Changes may result from engineering requirements, testing, safety considerations, manufacturing feasibility, regulatory requirements, supply-chain conditions, customer feedback, financial requirements, market-validation findings, or other factors associated with developing and commercializing a physical product.
Brachy Breeze will make reasonable efforts to communicate material developments affecting customer commitments.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that may arise when a material change requires Customer notice, consent, cancellation, refund, or another action under applicable law or a governing customer agreement.
Production & Shipment Information
Brachy Breeze is working toward commercial production but has not guaranteed that commercial production will occur.
Internal development and production targets may be used for business planning.
Customer-facing production, shipment, or delivery representations will be established separately where appropriate and should reflect information reasonably available at the time.
Brachy Breeze may revise anticipated production or fulfillment information as development progresses.
Where an applicable customer agreement or law requires notice, affirmative consent, cancellation rights, refund rights, or another remedy because a production or shipment representation cannot be met, Brachy Breeze will provide the required treatment.
If the FTC Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule applies to a Brachy Breeze transaction, federal requirements concerning reasonable shipment representations, delay notices, buyer consent, cancellation, and prompt refunds may apply.
Future Product Purchase
A Founding Customer Reservation is distinct from any future completed purchase of a finished Brachy Breeze carrier.
If Brachy Breeze reaches commercial production and offers the carrier for purchase, active Founding Customers will receive information concerning:
- final retail price;
- $500 Founding Customer credit;
- applicable Founding Customer pricing;
- remaining purchase amount;
- taxes and applicable charges;
- purchase deadline;
- current production and fulfillment information; and
- applicable Product Sale Terms.
Customers will generally have 30 days from issuance of a future purchase request to complete the purchase unless another arrangement is approved or different terms are established by the governing agreement.
The applicable Founding Customer Reservation Agreement controls the detailed future-purchase and reservation-expiration process.
Future Product Policies
The crowdfunding campaign does not establish the final return, refund, warranty, repair, replacement, or customer-service policies for completed purchases of finished Brachy Breeze products.
If Brachy Breeze reaches commercial production, those policies will be established before customers are asked to complete a finished-product purchase.
Founding Customers will have an opportunity to review the applicable Product Sale Terms before completing that separate purchase.
International Participation
Brachy Breeze may permit participation from customers outside the United States where legally and operationally appropriate.
International product availability and fulfillment may depend on:
- product requirements;
- certification;
- import and export requirements;
- shipping availability;
- taxes and duties;
- customs requirements;
- local consumer law; and
- Brachy Breeze’s ability to responsibly serve the applicable destination.
Domestic United States availability and fulfillment are expected to be established before broader international fulfillment.
An international Founding Customer Reservation does not guarantee that Brachy Breeze will ultimately become available for purchase or fulfillment within the Customer’s country.
International Founding Customers will not be asked to complete a future product purchase until Brachy Breeze confirms that product availability and fulfillment are supported within the applicable destination.
International cancellations, refunds, conversions, and other customer rights will be handled according to the applicable governing agreements and law.
Payments
Payments made through the Brachy Breeze website may be processed through third-party payment and ecommerce service providers.
By submitting payment information, you authorize the applicable processor to process the transaction according to the amount and terms presented at checkout.
Brachy Breeze does not directly control every aspect of third-party payment networks and may experience processing delays, outages, or other service interruptions outside its reasonable control.
This does not limit Brachy Breeze’s responsibility to properly account for payments received or honor customer rights applicable to the underlying transaction.
Customers should contact Brachy Breeze promptly if they believe a transaction was processed incorrectly.
Pricing & Website Errors
Brachy Breeze makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate pricing, product information, campaign information, and transaction details.
Errors may occur.
Where a material pricing, technical, typographical, or transaction error is identified, Brachy Breeze may correct the error and contact affected Customers regarding appropriate options.
Brachy Breeze will not knowingly rely on an obvious website or system error to impose materially different transaction terms on a Customer.
Nothing in this section limits rights available under applicable consumer-protection law.
Refunds & Cancellations
Refund and cancellation rights depend on the transaction type and circumstances involved.
The Crowdfunding Refund Policy establishes the campaign-wide refund structure.
The Founding Customer Reservation Agreement establishes additional cancellation and refund terms applicable to Founding Customer Reservations.
Nothing in these Terms or another Brachy Breeze policy eliminates a cancellation, refund, consent, or other remedy required by applicable law.
Communications
By participating in the campaign or completing a transaction, you agree that Brachy Breeze may send communications reasonably necessary to administer the applicable transaction or customer relationship.
These may include:
- transaction confirmations;
- reservation information;
- development updates;
- material campaign or product changes;
- cancellation or refund information;
- future purchase information;
- production or fulfillment information;
- agreement or policy updates;
- legally required notices; and
- customer-service communications.
Transactional communications are separate from optional marketing communications.
Where required, marketing communications will be subject to separate consent and applicable unsubscribe rights.
Customers are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information where necessary for Brachy Breeze to administer the applicable customer relationship.
Website Use
You may use the Brachy Breeze website for lawful personal and informational purposes and to participate in transactions made available through the website.
You may not intentionally:
- interfere with website operation or security;
- attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
- introduce malicious software or harmful code;
- use automated systems to abuse, overload, or disrupt the website;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent your authority;
- engage in fraudulent transactions;
- unlawfully copy or exploit protected website content; or

Brachy Breeze may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect Customers, website operation, company systems, or legal rights.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the Brachy Breeze website and its content, including brand elements, text, graphics, photographs, videos, illustrations, designs, product concepts, logos, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Brachy Breeze and may be protected by applicable intellectual property law.
Access to the website does not transfer ownership of Brachy Breeze intellectual property.
Customers may view and use website content for ordinary personal and informational purposes associated with interacting with Brachy Breeze.
Protected Brachy Breeze materials may not be reproduced, distributed, modified, commercially exploited, falsely attributed, or used to create derivative commercial materials without appropriate authorization except where otherwise permitted by law.
Third-Party Services & Links
The Brachy Breeze website may rely on or link to services operated by third parties, including payment processors, ecommerce providers, hosting providers, social platforms, financing providers, or other services.
Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy practices.
Brachy Breeze does not control independent third-party websites or services.
Use of third-party providers does not eliminate responsibilities Brachy Breeze may have concerning its own transactions, customer data, representations, or legal obligations.
Informational Content
Information provided through the Brachy Breeze website may discuss product development, pet comfort, environmental conditions, heat, travel, health, safety, or related subjects.
Such general information is provided for informational purposes and is not veterinary or medical advice.
Brachy Breeze website content is not a substitute for professional veterinary care, diagnosis, treatment, emergency services, or appropriate monitoring of an animal.
Pet owners remain responsible for seeking appropriate professional care where necessary.
Development-Stage Disclaimer
Participation in the Brachy Breeze campaign involves a company and physical product that remain under development.
Brachy Breeze does not guarantee that engineering, financing, manufacturing, regulatory, supply-chain, commercial, or other future conditions will occur exactly as anticipated.
Brachy Breeze does commit to administering campaign participation according to applicable agreements and policies, communicating material developments, maintaining appropriate operational and financial oversight, and honoring applicable legal obligations.
Specific Customer rights established by a governing agreement or applicable law are not waived by this section.
Website Warranty Disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Brachy Breeze website and its general informational content are provided on an “as available” basis.
Brachy Breeze does not guarantee uninterrupted website availability, freedom from all technical errors, or suitability of general website information for every individual purpose.
This section concerns the website and general informational content.
It does not establish or limit warranties that may apply to a future finished Brachy Breeze product.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, consumer right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Brachy Breeze will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising solely from use of or inability to use the website or general informational content.
Any limitation of liability applicable to Community Support, a Founding Customer Reservation, or a future product purchase remains subject to the applicable governing agreement and law.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, a user may be responsible for claims, losses, or costs resulting from unlawful misuse of the Brachy Breeze website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person’s rights.
This provision is not intended to make Customers responsible for claims arising from Brachy Breeze’s own unlawful conduct or legal obligations.
Privacy
Collection and use of personal information by Brachy Breeze are governed by the applicable Privacy Policy and related privacy notices.
Use of cookies or similar technologies may also be governed by a Cookie Policy or consent mechanism where applicable.
Customers should review applicable privacy disclosures for information concerning data collection, use, retention, sharing, and available choices.
Changes to These Terms
Brachy Breeze may revise these Terms & Conditions as the website, campaign, product, business, or applicable requirements evolve.
Updated Terms will be published with a revised effective date or version.
Changes generally apply prospectively.
Where a material change affects an existing Customer transaction, contractual right, or obligation, Brachy Breeze will provide notice, obtain affirmative agreement, preserve existing terms, or take another action where required by the governing customer agreement or applicable law.
Publication or email notice of revised Terms should not be treated as automatically replacing previously accepted transaction terms where affirmative consent or another legal basis is required.
Existing transactions should remain traceable to the terms accepted at the time of participation.
Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that applicable consumer law requires to remain available in a Customer’s jurisdiction.
Severability
If a provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
An invalid or unenforceable provision should be limited only to the extent necessary where legally permitted.
No Waiver
Failure by Brachy Breeze to immediately enforce a provision of these Terms does not automatically waive the right to enforce that provision later.
A waiver concerning one circumstance does not constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly established.
Entire Agreement & Document Hierarchy
These Terms & Conditions, together with any specific agreement or policy expressly applicable to an activity or transaction, establish the terms governing that activity or transaction.
For Founding Customer Reservations, applicable documents may include:
- Founding Customer Reservation Agreement;
- Crowdfunding Refund Policy;
- Founding Customer Market Validation & Product Development Addendum;
- these Terms & Conditions; and
- applicable privacy, payment, or other policies.
Where a transaction-specific document establishes a more specific term concerning its subject matter, that term should control unless the applicable agreements or law establish otherwise.
