We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, subject to applicable law.

3. Account Registration and Security

You must notify us immediately at support@anipaw.net if you suspect unauthorized access, account misuse, or a security incident involving your account.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that contain inaccurate information, violate these Terms, create risk to users or animals, or remain inactive for an extended period.

4. User Content

We will not use your User Content in external advertising or marketing materials outside the Service without your separate consent.

4.3 Public Content

Your public profile, dog profiles, public posts, comments, reactions, check-ins, and other public interactions may be visible to other users. You should not post information that you do not want others to see.

4.4 Private Messages

Messages are shared with their intended recipients. We may process messages to provide messaging functionality, safety tools, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and support. Recipients may retain, copy, screenshot, or disclose messages, so you should use caution when sharing sensitive information.

4.5 Content Standards

You must not submit User Content that:

  1. is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, bullying, hateful, defamatory, deceptive, invasive of privacy, or otherwise harmful;

5. Safety, Dog Interactions, In-Person Meetups, and Assumption of Risk

5.1 Nature of the Service — Platform Only

Anipaw is an online platform. We facilitate connections, discovery, and communication between users online. We do not organize, host, supervise, attend, sponsor, coordinate, or control any in-person meetings, park visits, social gatherings, playdates, community events, or other real-world interactions that users may arrange through or because of the Service ("In-Person Activities"). We have no ability to screen, verify, monitor, or control the conduct of users, their dogs, third parties, or conditions at any physical location.

5.2 Voluntary Assumption of Risk

YOU VOLUNTARILY AND EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS associated with any In-Person Activity, including but not limited to:

You acknowledge that dogs are animals with unpredictable behaviors regardless of their history, size, breed, or apparent temperament. You acknowledge that Anipaw has no way to verify the vaccination status, behavioral history, temperament, or any other characteristic of any dog or user.

5.3 Release of Claims

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE ANIPAW AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY IN-PERSON ACTIVITY, INCLUDING HARM CAUSED BY ANOTHER USER, ANOTHER USER'S DOG, OR CONDITIONS AT ANY PHYSICAL LOCATION.

You acknowledge that this release applies even if Anipaw was negligent in providing the Service that led to the In-Person Activity, except where applicable law prohibits the release of claims arising from gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

5.4 Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

5.5 No Emergency Services

The Service is not a safety or emergency service. Do not rely on the Service or any AI feature for emergency assistance. In any emergency, contact local emergency services, animal control, or qualified professionals immediately.

5.6 Dog Owner Acknowledgment

If you use the Service and your dog is involved in any incident — including a bite, scratch, attack, or property damage — during any In-Person Activity, you are solely responsible for all resulting harm, costs, legal consequences, and liabilities under applicable law. Anipaw has no involvement in or responsibility for such incidents.

6. Location-Based Features

The Service may use approximate or precise location data to provide dog park discovery, nearby community suggestions, alerts, regional feature availability, marketplace availability, fraud prevention, safety features, and personalization.

Location features require device-level permission or other consent where required. You can disable location access through your device settings, though some features may be unavailable or limited.

Unless specifically shown in the App, we do not intentionally display your exact real-time coordinates to other users. You are responsible for content you post that reveals your location, such as check-ins, photos, posts, messages, or meetup plans.

7. Marketplace and Purchases

7.1 Availability

Marketplace browsing and purchasing are available only in regions where Anipaw enables them. Purchasing functionality is currently intended for users located in Israel, unless otherwise stated in the App.

We may determine marketplace availability using account information, registered country, device settings, location signals, payment information, and other fraud-prevention or compliance signals.

7.2 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years old to buy, sell, list, purchase, subscribe, or otherwise use paid commercial features.

7.3 Role of Anipaw

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Anipaw provides a platform that may facilitate interactions between buyers and third-party sellers. Anipaw is not automatically the seller, manufacturer, distributor, importer, carrier, veterinarian, insurer, or agent for marketplace items listed by third parties.

If Anipaw itself sells an item or acts as merchant of record, the App or transaction flow will identify that role where required.

7.4 Seller Responsibilities

Sellers are responsible for ensuring that listings are accurate, lawful, complete, and not misleading; that products are safe and fit for sale; that required taxes, invoices, warranties, returns, and consumer-law obligations are satisfied; and that no prohibited products are listed.

7.5 Prohibited Marketplace Items

Users may not list or sell illegal products; unsafe animal products; prescription medicines; controlled substances; live animals unless explicitly permitted and legally compliant; recalled products; counterfeit goods; weapons; hazardous materials; stolen goods; or any product that violates applicable law, platform rules, or Anipaw policy.

7.6 Pricing, Taxes, Shipping, Returns, and Refunds

Prices may be displayed in Israeli New Shekels (ILS) or another currency shown at checkout. Taxes, delivery charges, return rights, cancellation rights, warranties, and refunds are governed by the applicable seller policy, checkout terms, payment-provider rules, and mandatory consumer-protection law.

Seller policies may not limit non-waivable statutory consumer rights.

7.7 Payment Processing

Payment processing may be handled by PayPal, an app store, or another third-party payment processor, depending on the product, platform, region, and transaction type.

Digital goods, premium app features, and subscriptions offered within mobile apps may be processed through Apple, Google, or another payment method only where permitted by applicable app-store rules. Marketplace purchases of physical goods may be processed through PayPal or other supported processors where available.

Anipaw does not directly collect or store full payment card numbers or bank account credentials.

7.8 Transaction Disputes

Users should first attempt to resolve marketplace issues with the seller or payment provider. We may assist, restrict accounts, remove listings, or take other action, but we do not guarantee recovery, refund, replacement, delivery, or dispute resolution unless required by law or expressly stated.

8. Freemium Features, Premium Features, and Subscriptions

The Service may offer free features, paid subscriptions, one-time purchases, trials, premium tools, or other paid features.

Before purchase, we will display material subscription terms such as price, billing period, renewal terms, and cancellation method. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before renewal in accordance with the checkout terms and the rules of the applicable payment provider or app store.

Subscription cancellations generally take effect at the end of the current billing period unless stated otherwise. Deleting the App does not necessarily cancel a subscription. Refunds are governed by applicable law, app-store rules, payment-provider rules, and any checkout terms presented at purchase.

We may change pricing or features, but material price changes will apply only after required notice or consent where applicable.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with or may rely on third-party services, including:

Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law.

10. AI Features

The Service may include AI-assisted features, such as chat assistance, community recommendations, moderation support, park discovery support, and content suggestions.

AI features may generate inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate, or unexpected outputs. You are responsible for reviewing AI outputs before relying on them. AI outputs are not professional veterinary, legal, medical, financial, emergency, or safety advice.

By using AI features, you understand that relevant inputs, prompts, messages, profile context, content, metadata, and other feature-related information may be processed by Anipaw and by AI service providers to provide, secure, monitor, and improve the feature, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Do not submit confidential, highly sensitive, emergency, or third-party personal information into AI features unless you have the right to do so and understand the risks.

11. Privacy and Data Protection

Our collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Key data practices include processing account information, dog profile data, public content, messages, location data, device information, analytics data, notification tokens, payment confirmation data, AI-feature inputs, and moderation data.

12. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  1. use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorized purpose;
  2. harass, bully, stalk, intimidate, exploit, or threaten any person;
  3. endanger minors, animals, or vulnerable persons;
  4. use the Service to arrange unsafe, illegal, or abusive animal interactions;
  5. scrape, crawl, index, harvest, or collect data from the Service using automated tools;
  6. reverse engineer, decompile, bypass, disable, or interfere with the Service or its security measures;
  7. upload malware, phishing content, spam, scams, or deceptive content;
  8. impersonate others or misrepresent affiliation;
  9. circumvent regional, age, payment, subscription, or marketplace restrictions;
  10. sell, rent, transfer, or share your account;
  11. use the Service for unauthorized commercial solicitation;
  12. violate third-party rights or applicable law; or
  13. attempt to do any of the above.

13. Intellectual Property

Anipaw and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in the Service, including software, design, interfaces, graphics, logos, trademarks, trade names, content, algorithms, databases, and documentation, except for User Content and third-party materials.

No rights are granted except as expressly stated. You may not use Anipaw's name, logo, trademarks, or branding without prior written permission.

14. Termination and Account Deletion

You may delete your account through the App settings where available or by contacting support@anipaw.net.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or liability, abused users or animals, infringed rights, misused the Service, or violated applicable law. We may also terminate or discontinue accounts or features for operational reasons where permitted by law.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. We may retain certain information as described in the Privacy Policy, including for legal compliance, safety, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, backups, accounting, and legitimate business purposes.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, User Content licenses, marketplace obligations, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and general provisions.

15. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANIPAW DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

ANIPAW DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT, AI OUTPUTS, USER INFORMATION, PARK INFORMATION, MARKETPLACE LISTINGS, OR LOCATION-BASED FEATURES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR SAFE.

ANIPAW IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OFFLINE INTERACTIONS, DOG BEHAVIOR, PARK CONDITIONS, USER CONDUCT, THIRD-PARTY SELLERS, THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, OR EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW.

ANIPAW MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE REGARDING THE IDENTITY, BACKGROUND, VACCINATION STATUS, HEALTH, TEMPERAMENT, SUITABILITY, SAFETY, OR CONDUCT OF ANY USER, DOG, SELLER, BUYER, SERVICE PROVIDER, OR THIRD PARTY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. USERS ARE STRANGERS, AND ANIPAW HAS NO OBLIGATION TO SCREEN OR VERIFY THEIR BACKGROUNDS, INTENTIONS, OR THE BEHAVIORAL HISTORY OF THEIR ANIMALS.

ANIPAW IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM ONLY. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES, MEETUPS, PARK VISITS, EVENTS, OR OTHER REAL-WORLD INTERACTIONS. ANY DECISION TO MEET ANOTHER USER, VISIT A LOCATION, OR ALLOW DOGS TO INTERACT IS YOUR SOLE DECISION AND MADE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION, USER PROFILE, DOG PROFILE, CHECK-IN, MESSAGE, AI OUTPUT, OR OTHER CONTENT ON THE SERVICE AS A BASIS FOR IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANIPAW, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, USE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANIPAW'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ANIPAW FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) ₪100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANIPAW HAS OFFERED THE SERVICE AT ZERO OR LOW COST IN RELIANCE ON THE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION AND THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE, AND INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THESE TERMS. YOU AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND ANIPAW AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANIPAW HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

FOR CLARITY, ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES, DOG INTERACTIONS, OR OFFLINE CONDUCT BY ANY USER ARE SUBJECT TO THE RELEASE IN SECTION 5.3 AND, TO THE EXTENT ANY CLAIM SURVIVES THAT RELEASE, THE LIABILITY CAP IN THIS SECTION APPLIES.

17. Indemnification

17.1 Your Indemnification Obligation

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Anipaw), and hold harmless Anipaw and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers ("Anipaw Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, investigations, regulatory proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements ("Claims"), brought by any party, including other users, third parties, or authorities, arising out of or related to:

  1. your use or misuse of the Service, App, or any feature;
  2. your User Content, including any representation, inaccuracy, or omission in any profile, dog profile, or listing;
  3. your marketplace listings, purchases, sales, communications, or disputes;
  4. your dog's behavior, temperament, health, vaccination status, or interactions with any person, animal, or property, including any claim arising from a dog bite, attack, injury, or property damage;
  5. any In-Person Activity that you participate in, organize, attend, or enable through the Service, including any claim brought by another user or third party who was harmed at such an activity;
  6. any representation you made — explicitly or implicitly through your profile or conduct — about yourself, your dog, or your intentions, that another user relied upon to their detriment;
  7. your violation of these Terms, this EULA, or applicable law;
  8. your violation of another person's rights, including privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or personal safety rights; or
  9. any claim that, if proven, would fall within the scope of the release in Section 5.3.

17.2 Anipaw's Right to Control Defense

Anipaw reserves the right to assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement of any Claim subject to indemnification under Section 17.1, at your expense. You will cooperate fully with Anipaw and its counsel in the defense of any such Claim. You may not settle any Claim that imposes obligations on, restricts, or adversely affects Anipaw without Anipaw's prior written consent.

18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

18.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply.

18.2 Informal Resolution

Before filing any legal action, each party agrees to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") through good-faith negotiation. The party asserting the Dispute must send written notice identifying the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought to support@anipaw.net. The parties will negotiate for at least 30 days from receipt of such notice before initiating formal proceedings, unless the Dispute involves imminent harm, animal welfare, or requires emergency or injunctive relief.

18.3 Jurisdiction and Venue

Subject to applicable law, any Dispute that is not resolved through negotiation will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. You irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts and waive any objection to the laying of venue.

18.4 Individual Claims Only — No Class Actions

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANIPAW. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the entirety of Section 18 shall be null and void.

18.5 Anipaw's Right to Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, Anipaw may seek emergency, interim, or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, data, or to prevent irreparable harm, without first complying with the informal resolution requirement.

18.6 Limitation on Time to File Claims

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE. CLAIMS NOT FILED WITHIN THIS PERIOD ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes through the App, email, or another reasonable method. The updated Terms will become effective on the date stated in the updated version.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.

20. General Provisions

20.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the EULA, and any feature-specific terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Anipaw regarding the Service.

20.2 Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

20.3 Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.

20.4 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, or by operation of law.

20.5 Force Majeure

We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or infrastructure failures, platform outages, pandemics, governmental action, or payment-provider disruptions.

20.6 Language

These Terms are drafted in English. If translated, the English version controls unless applicable law requires otherwise.
