Terms of Use
Last updated: [DATE]
1. What Best Pet Friends is
Best Pet Friends ("we", "us") is operated by [LLC LEGAL NAME]. It is an online bulletin board where neighbors in the same building can post when they are free to walk a dog, ask for a walk, and organize dog meetups. We do not employ, screen, supervise or insure any member, and we are not a party to any arrangement between members. We are not a pet-care business.
2. Who can use it
You must be at least 18 years old. You must live in, or have permission to be in, the building whose code you use.
3. Accounts and buildings
Keep your sign-in details private. A building admin approves who joins a building and can remove members. Do not share a building code with people who do not live there.
4. Community Agreement
Before joining a building you must accept the Community Agreement shown in the app. It forms part of these Terms.
5. Subscription and billing
[Attorney to complete: price ($5 per month per household), the 30-day free trial, automatic renewal, how to cancel, refunds, failed payments, and who processes payments.]
6. Using the service responsibly
- Be accurate about yourself and your dog, including any bite history or health needs.
- Do not post keys, door codes, or other access details in the app.
- Do not harass, discriminate against, or threaten anyone, and do not post anything unlawful.
- Follow local leash, licensing and waste laws.
7. Safety is shared
You decide who to trust with your dog or your home. We do not verify anyone's identity or suitability. Meet neighbors in public parts of the building first.
8. Disclaimers and limits of liability
[Attorney to complete: disclaimer of warranties, limits on liability, release and indemnity, and governing law for [STATE].]
9. Ending your account
You can leave a building at any time. We or a building admin may remove a member who breaks these Terms.

We may update these Terms. If a change is important, we will ask you to accept it again in the app.
