Effective Date: May 21, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of PawfolioBreeder, a software-as-a-service platform operated by PawfolioBreeder ("we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
You must provide accurate, complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account.
You agree to use PawfolioBreeder only for lawful purposes related to breeding program management and record keeping. You must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy.
You retain ownership of all content you upload to PawfolioBreeder, including photos, documents, health records, DNA reports, pedigree files, and breeding data. We do not claim ownership of your content.
PawfolioBreeder provides the following features as part of your subscription:
We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance with reasonable notice.
When you upload DNA reports to PawfolioBreeder, we process them using AI to extract genetic loci data. The original documents are stored securely in encrypted object storage. Extracted loci data is stored in your account database.
Genetic data (loci, genotypes, and coat color forecasts) is used solely for your own breeding program management tools, including coat color forecasting and trial mating analysis. We do not share, sell, or use your genetic data for any purpose other than providing you with the PawfolioBreeder service.
Coat color forecasts and genetic predictions are provided for informational purposes and are based on known Mendelian inheritance patterns. Actual outcomes may vary due to incomplete data, unknown modifiers, or other genetic factors. PawfolioBreeder does not guarantee the accuracy of genetic predictions.
Breeders who enable payment processing through PawfolioBreeder connect their Stripe account via Stripe Connect. By connecting your Stripe account, you agree to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and Stripe Services Agreement.
PawfolioBreeder charges a platform fee of 1.75% on payments processed through Stripe Connect, capped at $75 per transaction. Standard Stripe processing fees also apply and are set by Stripe.
Breeders are solely responsible for their refund policies and for resolving payment disputes with buyers. PawfolioBreeder does not mediate refund disputes between breeders and buyers.
You may not use PawfolioBreeder's payment processing for any business type prohibited by Stripe's acceptable use policies.
Subscription fees are billed monthly. You authorize us to charge your payment method on file. Failure to pay may result in account suspension.
Buyers who have concerns about a transaction should contact the breeder directly first. If the issue cannot be resolved, the buyer may contact PawfolioBreeder at support@pawfoliobreeder.com for assistance. We encourage all parties to attempt resolution before initiating chargebacks.
Any disputes between you and PawfolioBreeder regarding these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with applicable law.
Health records, DNA results, and other data you make public on your breeder website are your responsibility. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of information displayed to buyers. PawfolioBreeder is not liable for inaccurate health or genetic information published on your public profile.
You may manage your subscription at any time through your account settings. This includes upgrading, downgrading, or changing your plan. Changes to your subscription take effect at the start of your next billing period.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting support at support@pawfoliobreeder.com. Upon cancellation:
You may request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting support@pawfoliobreeder.com. Account deletion is irreversible and will permanently remove all breeding records, health data, uploaded documents, and genetic profiles within 30 days of the request. Billing records are retained as required by law (see Section 13).
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if we reasonably suspect misuse, fraud, violation of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, or any activity that may harm the platform, its users, or third parties. We may also suspend accounts that pose a security risk or are used in a manner inconsistent with the intended purpose of the service. In such cases, we will provide reasonable notice when possible, except where immediate action is necessary to protect the platform, other users, or comply with legal obligations.
To provide customer support and resolve technical issues, our support team may access your account data, including breeding records, settings, and activity logs. This access is limited to what is reasonably necessary to diagnose and resolve the issue at hand. We do not access your account for any purpose unrelated to providing support, maintaining the platform, or ensuring compliance with these Terms.
By providing your phone number through a contact form, application, or waitlist on a PawfolioBreeder-hosted breeder website, you consent to receive SMS notifications from PawfolioBreeder on behalf of the breeder you are communicating with.
SMS messages are notification-only and may include alerts when a breeder sends you a message, application status updates, and waitlist updates. Each message contains a link to view and reply to the full conversation on our platform.
Message frequency varies based on your interactions with breeders on the platform.
You may opt out of SMS notifications at any time by replying STOP to any message. To resume receiving SMS notifications, reply START. You may also manage your notification preferences through your conversation settings.
For help with SMS notifications, reply HELP to any message or contact support@pawfoliobreeder.com.
Message and data rates may apply. Check with your wireless carrier for details about your messaging plan. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Your phone number and SMS opt-in consent are governed by our Privacy Policy. We do not share your text messaging opt-in data or consent with third parties.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PawfolioBreeder shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to losses arising from genetic predictions, payment processing, or public profile information.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify you of material changes via email and in-app notification.
