Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Puplister website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. These Terms of Service apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our platform.

Use of Service

Puplister provides a platform to connect prospective pet adopters with animal shelters and rescue organizations. By using our service, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information in all forms and applications.
  • Use the service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
  • Not misrepresent your identity, living situation, or intentions when applying to adopt a pet.
  • Not use the platform for any commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
  • Not attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the website.

User Accounts

Certain features of our platform may require you to provide personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

Platform Role & Disclaimer

Puplister is an advertising platform that displays pet listings provided by shelters and rescue organizations. Puplister does not sell, buy, or trade pets. We are not a shelter, breeder, or pet store. Our role is limited to publishing shelter listings — all further interactions, including adoption inquiries, applications, fees, and procedures, occur directly between you and the shelter or rescue organization.

  • Puplister is not a party to any transaction or agreement between you and a shelter.
  • Puplister bears no responsibility for the actions, omissions, or conduct of any shelter, rescue organization, or user of the platform.
  • Puplister is not responsible for the health, behavior, history, or accuracy of information about any animal listed on our platform. All listing information is provided by the shelters.
  • We encourage all adopters to visit the shelter, meet the animal in person, and ask questions before completing an adoption.
  • Any personal information you share with a shelter is governed by that shelter's own privacy practices. Please review our Privacy Policy for details on how Puplister handles your data.

Content

All content on the Puplister website, including text, images, graphics, logos, and software, is the property of Puplister or its content suppliers and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or publicly display any content from our site without prior written permission.

Animal listings, photographs, and descriptions are provided by our partner shelters. While we strive to ensure accuracy, Puplister does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any listing content. Listings may be updated or removed at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Puplister shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of our platform. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Any issues arising from the adoption of an animal found through our platform.
  • Inaccuracies in animal listings or shelter information.
  • Service interruptions, errors, or technical issues.
  • Actions or omissions of shelter partners or other third parties.

Puplister acts solely as an advertising and listing platform. We are not a party to any adoption agreement or transaction between you and a shelter, and we bear no liability for any outcomes resulting from your interactions with shelters or rescue organizations.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time at our sole discretion. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
