  • Content Processing: Text and images submitted to AI features are processed by third-party AI services (OpenAI). See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Service — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, breed data, trivia questions, and software — are the property of Pet Pursuit or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.

9. User Content

You retain ownership of content you submit to the Service (such as usernames and quiz responses). By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and process that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

We reserve the right to remove any user content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.

You may delete your account at any time. From the Home screen, scroll to the bottom and tap your account area to open your Account page, then scroll down to find the deletion option. Account deletion will:

  • Permanently and irreversibly remove all your personal data, including trivia history, badges, favorites, and quiz results
  • Cancel any active subscriptions
  • Remove your entries from leaderboards

This action cannot be undone. We recommend exporting or reviewing any data you wish to keep before deleting your account.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Pet Pursuit provides educational information about dog breeds. This information is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified veterinarian or animal professional for questions about pet health, behavior, or care.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Pet Pursuit and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pet Pursuit, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, United States, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence apply.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property rights, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) shall survive.

16. Service Discontinuation

Pet Pursuit reserves the right to modify, suspend, or permanently discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. We will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' notice before a planned permanent shutdown, but this is not guaranteed in all circumstances (e.g., unforeseen technical, legal, or financial events).

Service Discontinuation: In the event that the Service is discontinued, refunds will be handled in accordance with applicable platform policies and consumer protection laws. No additional credits or compensation of any kind will be provided for any remaining subscription periods, lifetime access purchases, or unused premium features. By purchasing any plan — including lifetime access — you acknowledge and agree that such purchases grant access to the Service only for as long as it remains available, and do not guarantee perpetual or indefinite access.

No Guarantee of Availability: We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or for any specific duration. "Lifetime" plans refer to the lifetime of the Service, not the lifetime of the purchaser. The Service may be discontinued at our sole discretion.

Data Upon Discontinuation: In the event of a planned shutdown, we will make reasonable efforts to allow users to export or retrieve their personal data before the Service is terminated. However, after the Service is discontinued, all user data may be permanently deleted.
