Terms of Service

2. Development and waitlist

The Service is under development. Only limited experiences may be live (for example, a marketing site and waitlist). Descriptions of future features on the site or in emails are illustrative and not a guarantee that any particular feature, timeline, or price will be offered.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, run tests, or reset data with or without notice, especially before public launch. We are not liable for any loss arising from changes during development.

3. Eligibility

The Service is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service or submit information to the waitlist. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. Accounts, waitlist, and communications

If you join the waitlist or create an account, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep it updated where possible. You are responsible for activity under your account and for safeguarding credentials and devices.

By submitting your email or other contact details, you consent that we may send you Service-related and, where permitted, product or marketing messages. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in those messages, where applicable.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, harassing, or deceptive purposes, or to exploit minors;
• Attempt to probe, scrape, overload, or disrupt our systems, or circumvent security or access controls;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or try to extract source code except where applicable law forbids this restriction;
• Misrepresent your identity, impersonate others, or create accounts to evade enforcement; or
• Use the Service in a way that infringes others’ rights or violates applicable law.

We may investigate misuse, remove content, suspend access, and cooperate with authorities where appropriate.

6. User content and license

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or other content to us (“User Content”), you grant Sniffrr a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and display that User Content to operate, improve, and promote the Service, without obligation to you except where law requires otherwise. You represent that you have the rights needed to grant this license.

7. Location, meetups, and safety

Sniffrr is designed to help people coordinate dog-related social activity. In-person meetings involve real-world risks. You are solely responsible for your safety and your dog’s safety, for complying with local laws and lead or animal rules, and for your interactions with other users. We do not conduct criminal background checks on all users, vet every profile, or supervise meetups. Use good judgment.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including branding, software, text, and design, is owned by Sniffrr or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, we reserve all rights. You may not use our marks or confusingly similar branding without prior written consent.

9. Third-party services

The Service may link to or rely on third parties (for example, hosting, analytics, authentication, or app stores). Their terms and privacy practices apply to your use of those services. We are not responsible for third-party content or conduct.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SNIFFRR AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (IF ANY). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

12. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sniffrr and our affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country require otherwise. Courts in England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction for disputes, subject to any non-waivable rights you may have to bring claims in your home courts under applicable law.

14. General

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Sniffrr regarding the Service and supersede prior understandings on this subject. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and change the effective date above. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where appropriate (for example, email or in-app notice after launch). Continued use after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires otherwise.
