PatasPatas Terms of Service

PatasPatas is an adoption discovery and matchmaking service. We help adopters find pets and help approved organizations publish adoptable pets.

PatasPatas is not an animal shelter, rescue, breeder, veterinary provider, adoption agency, escrow service, or party to any adoption agreement. Each shelter or rescue owns its own adoption process, screening, decisions, fees, meetings, contracts, and post-adoption support.

You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate and for activity under your account.

You may not impersonate another person or organization, submit false information, interfere with the service, scrape the service, or use PatasPatas for unlawful, abusive, misleading, or commercial pet-sale activity.

When you create an adopter profile or show interest in a pet, the information you provide should be truthful, current, and submitted by you.

Showing interest in a pet lets the caring organization review your adopter profile and contact information for that adoption conversation. You should update your profile if your home, contact details, or adoption preferences change.

You are responsible for deciding whether to proceed with any shelter, meeting safely, asking questions, reviewing adoption terms, and complying with applicable laws.

Organizations must be authorized to post pets and must provide truthful information about their organization, pets, locations, medical status, sterilization, vaccinations, fees, and adoption process.

Organizations must follow humane-care practices, post only pets available through their organization, avoid duplicate or misleading listings, and remove or update pets that are no longer available.

Organizations may not use PatasPatas to sell animals, promote breeding, post graphic or distressing images, collect inappropriate fees, or discriminate unlawfully against adopters.

A match or expression of interest is an introduction, not an approval, reservation, guarantee, or completed adoption.

After an introduction, adopters and organizations may continue the adoption process off platform. PatasPatas does not control response times, adoption outcomes, fees, refunds, transport, medical care, behavior, or suitability of any pet or adopter.

You keep ownership of text, photos, and other content you submit, but you give PatasPatas permission to host, copy, resize, display, translate, and share that content as needed to operate and promote the service.

You must have the rights and permissions needed to submit content. We may remove content that appears inaccurate, unsafe, infringing, abusive, graphic, discriminatory, or inconsistent with these Terms.

PatasPatas uses account, profile, pet, and interaction data to operate the service, support adoption introductions, prevent abuse, and maintain platform safety.

Adopter profile information is shared with a shelter or rescue only when the adopter takes an action that creates an adoption introduction for a pet connected to that organization.

You may request account support or deletion through the support channels provided in the app. Deleting an account may remove related profile and adoption-interest records where required by the service design and applicable law.

We may review, reject, edit, hide, suspend, or remove accounts, listings, interests, matches, or organizations when needed to protect users, pets, shelters, platform integrity, or legal compliance.

We may change, pause, or discontinue parts of the service, including eligibility rules, listing requirements, and safety workflows.

PatasPatas is provided as available. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, successful matches, shelter responses, pet availability, adoption approval, pet health, pet behavior, or the accuracy of user-submitted content.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, PatasPatas is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for disputes, losses, injuries, fees, contracts, or outcomes arising from off-platform adoption interactions.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or responsibilities that cannot be limited under applicable law.

We may update these Terms as the service changes. The updated date will show when the Terms were last revised.

Questions about these Terms or platform safety can be sent through the support contact provided by PatasPatas.
