Introduction
These Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy (hereinafter, "Policy") govern the use of the DOOGO PETS application and its services (hereinafter, "Application" or "Services"), establishing the rules for the collection, use, storage, and processing of personal data.
Acknowledgment
By creating your account or using the DOOGO PETS Application, you declare that you have read, understood, and fully agree with all the conditions of this document.
1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
1.1. Platform Purpose
DOOGO PETS is a digital environment designed to connect animal Protectors (NGOs and individuals) with people interested in Adoption, optimizing the dissemination of animals and facilitating contact for the completion of adoption.
1.2. Age Restriction and Use
The Application is strictly intended for users over 18 (eighteen) years of age. Registration or use of the Services by minors under 18 years is not permitted.
1.3. Nature of Relationship and Disclaimer
DOOGO PETS is a connection platform. We are not party to the adoption transaction or custody of the animal, which is a relationship established directly between the Adopter and the Protector. We are not responsible for the conduct of the parties, the veracity of information provided, or the final success of the adoption.
2. User Content and Image/Voice Rights
2.1. Content Responsibility
The user is fully responsible for all material they insert into the Application, including, but not limited to, texts, photos, videos, and pet descriptions (the "User Content").
2.2. Image and Voice Use License
By uploading User Content (photos, videos, and information), you grant DOOGO PETS a global, free, non-exclusive, and sublicensable license to:
- Store, distribute, publicly display, and reproduce the content
- Use the Content, including image and voice (when applicable) of people and pets, for the purpose of promoting adoption, disseminating animal welfare campaigns, and advertising the Application in any medium, such as social media, website, blog, and press materials. This license does not generate any right to present or future compensation, being justified by the social nature of the Application
2.3. Authorization Declaration
The user guarantees that they possess all rights or proper authorizations (consent) from third parties, including from parents or legal guardians in case of minors accidentally included in the Content, exempting DOOGO PETS from any legal responsibility arising from the use of such media.
3. Platform Usage Rules: Prohibitions and Contributions
3.1. Prohibition of Sale and Profit
The use of the DOOGO PETS Application for the sale of animals, commerce, or profit is strictly prohibited. The Application should not be used by breeders, pet stores, or any entity or individual seeking commercial purposes in animal transactions. The identification of advertisements or activities that constitute commerce or profit will result in the immediate and permanent exclusion of the user or organization, without prejudice to applicable legal measures.
3.2. Contribution Fee and NGO Policy
Any amounts requested by partner NGOs or shelters, under the name of "contribution fee" or similar, do not represent a sale price of the animal. These amounts are a voluntary financial contribution intended to help the Protector cover operational costs (e.g., vaccination, neutering, food, medications, and veterinary care). The definition of the existence and amount of this contribution is an internal and exclusive policy of each Protector/NGO, with DOOGO PETS being exempt from responsibility for the management or use of these amounts. The adopter should inquire directly with the Protector responsible for the animal.
