Welcome to pawst!
We built pawst to be a joyful, authentic place for you and your pet to capture real moments. We want to create a community centered around genuine connection through a shared love of spontaneous, happy snapshots of your furry friends.
These Terms of Service ("Terms"), along with our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, form the foundation of how pawst works and what's expected from everyone who uses the app. We've written them clearly, honestly, and without legal fluff — because we want you to actually understand them, not skim and skip.
If anything feels unclear or confusing, let us know. We're here for you.
By using pawst, you're agreeing to these Terms. If you don't agree with them, we understand — but please don't use the app. Otherwise, welcome to the pack!
pawst is for pet lovers everywhere.
pawst is intended for users aged 13 and older. If you are under 13, you may not use pawst. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your country, you may need a parent or guardian's permission to use pawst. It's your responsibility to check and comply with your local laws.
Our Services means all aspects of the pawst mobile application, the software and systems powering the application.
If you're creating an account on behalf of someone else (a person, a shelter, an organization), make sure you have their permission or legal authority to do so.
When you use pawst, you share certain information with us. We explain what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it in our Privacy Policy.
By using pawst, you agree that we may collect, process, store, and (when necessary) share your data with service providers who help us run pawst. Some of those providers might be located in other countries. We take all reasonable steps to protect your data and respect your privacy, no matter where you are.
pawst operates on a freemium model: you can use the app for free with advertisements, or you can subscribe to Pawst+ (our premium plan) for an ad-free experience with additional features.
If you choose to use pawst without a subscription, you can access the core features of the app at no cost. Free users may see advertisements once they meet certain eligibility criteria (account at least 7 days old, at least 5 lifetime posts).
We display two types of ads:
We limit ad frequency to ensure the app remains enjoyable (typically 1 ad per day maximum). You can remove ads entirely by subscribing to Pawst+.
Pawst+ is our premium subscription plan available through in-app purchase on the Apple App Store. When you subscribe to Pawst+, you receive:
Pricing and Billing: Subscription pricing is displayed in the app at the time of purchase and may vary by region based on your local currency. We offer weekly, monthly, and annual subscription options. All subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store.
Auto-Renewal: Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period (weekly, monthly, or annual) unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You will be charged for the renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the same price and duration as your original subscription.
Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store account settings (iOS: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions). Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to premium features until the end of the period you've already paid for.
Refunds: All subscriptions are processed and billed by Apple through the App Store. We do not have direct access to your payment information or the ability to process refunds. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, you must request it directly from Apple through your App Store account. Apple's refund policies apply to all purchases.
Changes to Pricing: We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. If we increase the price of your subscription, you will be notified at least 30 days in advance, and the new price will not apply until your next renewal after the notice period. You can cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect if you do not agree to the increase.
No Trial Period: Unless explicitly offered, subscriptions do not include a free trial period and billing begins immediately upon purchase.
When you post on pawst, you're sharing moments with your pet — and we love that. What you post is entirely up to you, as long as it follows our rules and the law.
Content means profile photos, photos, captions, albums, and comments shared through our Services.
You're responsible for the content you create and post through our Services. That means it must be yours (or you must have permission to share it), and it must not violate any laws or the rights of others.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for content that is harmful, hateful, illegal, or that violates these Terms. This includes, but is not limited to: threats, harassment, exploitation, abuse (animal or human), intellectual property theft, or anything discriminatory or violent. We have the right to remove any content that violates these values and can suspend or permanently ban your account if needed.
By posting, you retain ownership of your content — it's still yours. But by sharing it publicly on pawst, you grant pawst a license to use the Content to help promote and improve pawst. This license authorizes us to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same.
pawst should always feel safe, joyful, and happy.
If you see content that feels offensive, stolen, harmful, or just plain wrong, you can report it. We'll review every report carefully and take appropriate action, whether that means removing the content, issuing a warning, or suspending an account.
We aren't able to monitor every post in real time, so we count on our community to help us keep things respectful and fun.
If you believe someone has used your work without permission, you can report intellectual property violations by contacting us at team@happypawsts.com.
We hope you stay with us for years, but if you decide to go, no hard feelings.
You can request to delete your account at any time directly from the app. We'll be sad to see you go, but your data and photos will be permanently removed after we process your request, typically within 30 days.
Important for Subscribers: If you have an active Pawst+ subscription, deleting your account does not automatically cancel your subscription. You must cancel your subscription separately through the Apple App Store (Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions) to avoid future charges. Any remaining subscription time will be forfeited upon account deletion.
We may also suspend or delete your account if you repeatedly break the rules, share harmful content, or misuse the app. For serious violations (like animal abuse or illegal activity), we will permanently suspend you from our Services and prevent you from creating a new pawst account.
We reserve the right to delete accounts that remain inactive for over two years.
Our Services are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret and other laws around the world. Nothing in these Terms gives you a right to use the pawst name or any of the pawst trademarks, logos, domain names, other distinctive brand features, and other proprietary rights.
During the time you are using our Services, pawst gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software provided to you as part of our Services. This license has the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy our Services in a manner consistent with these Terms. This license comes to an end when you stop using our Services.
We may use feedback, ideas, or suggestions you share with us to improve pawst — and we won't owe you anything for that (except a thank-you and a high five).
We do our best to make sure pawst runs smoothly, but we can't guarantee that everything will always work perfectly. Sometimes bugs happen. Sometimes downtime happens. You agree not to hold us liable for damages resulting from how you use (or can't use) pawst, to the maximum extent allowed by the laws where you live.
If we ever have a legal disagreement, it will be handled by the courts in Singapore and governed by Singaporean law, unless this is prohibited by the laws of the country where you reside.
If you downloaded pawst from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and YEUPY PTE. LTD., not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
As pawst evolves, these Terms might need to change too. If we make any updates that impact either party's rights or obligations, we will let you know approximately 30 days before the update goes into effect. If you keep using our Services after the 30 days, you are agreeing to our updated Terms. If you do not want to agree, you must stop using our Services.
These Terms are between you and YEUPY PTE. LTD., with a registered office located at 160 Robinson Road, #14-04, Singapore Business Federation Center, Singapore 068914.
