Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: October 5, 2026

Welcome to SharedDog ("the App", "we", "our", "us"). By accessing or using SharedDog, you ("you", "the user") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Purpose

SharedDog helps dog owners and trusted caretakers:

Coordinate daily tasks — feeding, walking, training, medications, bathroom logs, and more
Share routines, updates, and reminders across multiple devices and users
Maintain shared histories and logs of pet care activities
Support multiple dog profiles with customizable schedules and notes

The App is for informational and organizational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use SharedDog. The App is not intended for children under 13.
If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf, and only they may purchase a subscription.
You must comply with local animal welfare laws.

3. Accounts & Authentication

3.1 Account Creation

Accounts are created via email/password or supported social logins (e.g., Google, Apple).
Email verification is required. Secure password policies apply.
Authentication uses industry-standard methods (JWT tokens, AWS Cognito).

3.2 Security

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.
Do not share your credentials with unauthorized users.

3.3 Profile Management

You may create and manage multiple dog profiles including breed, age, vaccinations, and dietary notes. Owners may invite trusted family members, roommates, or partners to share access to a profile.

4. Acceptable Use

By using SharedDog, you agree to:

Provide accurate, up-to-date information about your dogs and routines
Use the App responsibly, ensuring pet welfare and compliance with applicable laws
Communicate respectfully when using in-app features
Avoid misuse — including spamming, reverse engineering, exploiting vulnerabilities, or uploading harmful content

5. Multi-User Access & Sharing

Dog owners may invite caretakers via email to share access
Four access levels are available: Read-Only, Basic, Full, and Owner
Owners control permissions and may revoke access at any time
You are responsible for vetting and monitoring those with whom you share access

6. Subscriptions & Pricing

SharedDog offers paid subscription plans, each with a 14-day free trial. The plans and regular prices are:

Pup Essentials (€2.99/mo or €29.99/yr): 1 dog, up to 3 caretakers, 10 schedules & custom activities, 90-day activity log history, and reminders.
Household Plus (€9.99/mo or €99.99/yr): Up to 5 dogs and 10 caretakers, unlimited activity log history & schedules, advanced notifications, and data export.
Caretaker Collective (€99.99/mo or €999.99/yr): Designed for professionals — unlimited dogs, caretakers, schedules, and custom activities, plus everything in Household Plus.

Every plan includes a card-free 14-day trial. The first 100 people to register before 31 December 2026 become founding members and receive the Household Plus plan free for 6 months, with no card required, on web, iOS and Android instead of the 14-day trial.

Payments

Managed securely via RevenueCat, with card payments processed by Stripe (web), or via the Apple App Store / Google Play (mobile in-app purchases) — your payment details never touch SharedDog servers.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings (mobile), or through your web account settings (web).
If you exceed your tier's limits, additional features will be restricted until you upgrade.

7. Data & Privacy

Your privacy matters. Data may include account info, pet profiles, schedules, and logs. All data is stored securely using industry-standard practices including AWS DynamoDB with encryption at rest and in transit.

All personal data use is governed by our Privacy Policy , which you also agree to by using the App.

8. Intellectual Property

SharedDog's app, logo, design, and content (excluding user-submitted content) are our intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our materials without written permission.

9. Limitation of Liability

SharedDog is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the App. Users remain responsible for their pets' health, safety, and welfare.

10. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, and if necessary, through the appropriate legal channels.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, misuse App features, or compromise the safety, welfare, or privacy of others (including pets).

12. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updates will be communicated in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept the revised Terms.
