These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the individual developers of Paw Mayor, David Kleiman and Justin Kleiman, based in California, United States ("we," "us," "our," or "the Developer"). They govern your use of the Paw Mayor iOS application and any related services (together, "the App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under 18, you may use the App only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to download and use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's App Store Terms of Service and these Terms.
You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:
Paw Mayor uses Sign in with Apple to create and secure your account. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account and for keeping access to it secure. Tell us promptly at pawmayorsupport@gmail.com if you believe your account has been used without your permission. Each person may maintain only one account, and accounts may not be shared, sold, or transferred.
"Your Content" means anything you submit to the App, including pet names, photos, profile details, nominations, votes, and any other materials. You keep ownership of Your Content.
By submitting Your Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and use it for the purpose of operating, providing, and promoting the App — for example, showing nominated pets on leaderboards, profiles, and badges. This license lasts only as long as needed to provide the App and to comply with our legal obligations.
You represent and warrant that, for all of Your Content:
You agree not to submit content or use the App in any way that:
Paw Mayor depends on honest participation. You agree not to manipulate votes, leaderboards, or badges in any way. This includes creating multiple or fake accounts, using bots, scripts, or automation, buying or selling votes, exploiting bugs, or otherwise interfering with the integrity, operation, or security of the App.
We are not obligated to monitor Your Content, but we may review it and may remove any content, or suspend or terminate any account, at our discretion and without notice, if we believe these Terms have been violated or to protect the App or its users. We are not responsible for storing or backing up Your Content, and you should keep your own copies of anything important to you.
Some features of the App may require an auto-renewable subscription purchased through your Apple Account. The title, length, and price of each subscription are shown in the App before you confirm a purchase.
Auto-renewable subscription terms. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price of the plan you selected.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription. Where a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription covering that period.
Purchases, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple under the terms of the Apple Media Services / App Store Terms of Service, and we generally cannot issue refunds directly. Prices may change; we will notify you as required, and where your consent is needed, your subscription will continue only if you agree to the new price.
The App itself — including its software, design, name, logo, and content we provide (but excluding Your Content) — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license to use the App granted in these Terms, you receive no rights in the App.
The App relies on services provided by Apple (Sign in with Apple and in-app purchases) and Supabase (database, authentication, and storage). Your use of those services is also subject to their respective terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services or their availability.
Our handling of your information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it to understand what we collect and how we use it.
The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any content is accurate. You use the App at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, goodwill, or profits, arising out of or relating to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim, or twenty U.S. dollars (US$20). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the App, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party rights.
You may stop using the App at any time and may delete your account from within the App (Profile → Delete Account). We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or to protect the App or its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including content licenses you have granted, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will continue to apply.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at pawmayorsupport@gmail.com so we can try to resolve the matter informally. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California, and you consent to venue there.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes may be communicated within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
Because the App is distributed through Apple's App Store, the following terms also apply. In the event of any conflict between this section and the rest of these Terms, this section controls with respect to your use of the App on Apple devices.
These Terms are between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App.
The license granted to you in Section 2 is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service.
The Developer is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App, as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. You can reach us at pawmayorsupport@gmail.com. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
The Developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the Developer's sole responsibility.
The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to the Developer:
You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App, including the Apple Media Services / App Store Terms of Service.
You acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
