Terms of Service
Last Updated: September 7 2024
Welcome! These Terms of Service ("Terms") explain how you can use: (1) our websites at moonpaws.com; (2) our mobile apps ("Apps"); and (3) all the services, features, and content you get through these websites and apps (together, we call these our "Services"). When we say "Pawstrology," "we," "us," “our Company,” or "our," we mean Pawstrology Inc. When we say "you," we mean anyone using our Services.
Agreeing to These Terms
By using our Services, you're agreeing to follow these Terms and our Privacy Policy (found at moonpaws.com/privacy). Please take a moment to read them carefully. If you use our Services or click "accept" when asked, that means you agree to everything in these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use our Services.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ ABOUT ARBITRATION BELOW
This is important! Please read the section below about how we settle disagreements, as it says that if you have a problem with Pawstrology Inc., it will be handled through a final and binding arbitration process. By agreeing to this, you are acknowledging that you’ve read, understood, and taken time to think about what this means.
Our app is designed for people who are 18 years or older. If you're under 18, please don't use the app. Be sure to read these Terms of Service carefully before using the app. By using any part of the app, you agree to follow these terms. If you don’t agree with everything here, you won’t be able to use the app or its services. When you use our app, it's like you’re agreeing to a deal, and that deal is based on these terms.
We may add new features or tools, and they will also follow these rules. You can always check the latest version of these terms here. We might update or change parts of these Terms of Service, so it's important to check back from time to time. By continuing to use the app after any updates, you’re agreeing to those changes too.
Changes to These Rules
We might change these rules sometimes without telling you first. The date of the latest update will always be shown at the top. If we make changes, we’ll post them in the app. You can choose whether or not to agree to the new rules, but if you don’t agree, you can’t keep using the app. If you keep using the app, that means you agree to the most recent version of the rules. If you don’t agree, your only option is to stop using the app.
Access and Account Security
We're always working to make our services better! This means we might add new things, stop updating old ones, or even remove features, products, or content. Sometimes, we might need to pause or stop our services entirely. If this happens, we’ll try to let you know in advance, but that might not always be possible.
To use some of our services, you might need to share certain information with us (“User Information”) and create an account (“Account”). How we collect, use, and protect your information is covered in our Privacy Policy. You agree that the information you provide will be accurate and kept up-to-date. If your details change, please update your account on our website or app as soon as you can.
You’re responsible for what happens with your account, whether you know about it or not. This means it’s important to keep your account secure by using a strong password, keeping it private, and being careful when using shared or public devices. Pawstrology Inc. isn’t responsible for any loss you might face if someone else uses your account or password without your permission. You could also be held responsible if someone else uses your account in a way that causes damage to us or others.
If you think someone has accessed your account without your permission, please let us know right away by contacting us at hello@moonpaws.com.
Intellectual Property Rights
All parts of our services, like the information, software, text, images, videos, design and how everything is arranged, belong to Pawstrology Inc., our partners, or others who have created these materials. They are protected by laws that cover things like copyright, trademarks, and patents, both in the United States and around the world.
As long as you follow our terms, you can use our services, but only for personal, non-commercial reasons.
The name "Pawstrology Inc.” and “moonpaws,” our logo, and any related names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Pawstrology Inc. You can’t use these trademarks without our permission. You also can’t:
- Copy, save, download, share, or change any part of our services or content unless these terms say it’s okay.
- Use our services or any content for business purposes without getting our written approval first.
- Violate any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights owned by Pawstrology Inc.
If you’d like to use our brand in a way that’s not mentioned here, please contact us at hello@moonpaws.com.
If you break these rules, your right to use our services will stop immediately, and you may have to return or destroy any materials you’ve taken. You do not own any part of our services, and any rights not clearly given to you are reserved by Pawstrology Inc. Using our services in a way that isn’t allowed by these terms could break the law.
Prohibited Uses
You can only use our services in ways that follow the law and these rules. If the law says you’re not allowed to use our services, then you shouldn’t be using them. If you break any rules, we're not responsible for what happens. Here’s what you agree NOT to do with our services:
- Break any local, state, national, or international laws (like rules about sharing data or software between countries).
- Hurt or try to hurt minors by showing them bad content, asking for personal info, or doing anything harmful.
- Use the services to share or use any material that doesn’t follow our rules or the law.
- Send advertisements or spam without getting our written permission first.
- Pretend to be someone else, like Pawstrology Inc. employees, other users, or any other person or company.
- Do anything that stops others from enjoying the services or could harm Pawstrology Inc. or other users.
Also, you agree not to:
- Use the services in ways that could break them, slow them down, or stop others from using them.
- Use robots, software, or any tool to copy or spy on the services.
- Use any programs that mess up how the services work.
- Introduce harmful stuff like viruses, worms, or trojans into the system.
- Try to break into, damage, or mess with any part of the services, servers, computers, or databases connected to our services.
- Attack the services to make them crash or stop working.
- Do anything else that interferes with the proper function of the services.
By following these guidelines, we can keep our services safe and fun for everyone!
Uploaded Content Guidelines for Pawstrology Inc.
Some parts of our app let you create and store content (we'll call this "Uploaded Content").
What you can’t upload:
- Anything that breaks the law or someone else’s rights (like privacy, copyrights, or trademarks).
- Content that’s false, mean, rude, inappropriate, or harmful. This includes anything offensive, threatening, violent, hateful, or profane.
- Anything that tries to harm or exploit children, asks for personal information, or exposes them to inappropriate content.
- Content that bullies, harasses, intimidates, spreads false information, spams, or bothers other users.
We may decide what's acceptable or not, and if needed, we'll remove content that goes against these rules.
What you need to know about your content:
- You are responsible for everything you upload. This means it must follow the rules, and it can’t break the law or infringe on anyone else’s rights.
- You also need to make sure you have the rights to share that content and allow us to use it as explained in our Privacy Policy.
- If we think your content breaks the rules or isn’t appropriate, we can remove it, but you’re still responsible for it.
Lastly, remember that Pawstrology Inc. isn't liable for anything you upload or how accurate it is — it's up to you to make sure your content is safe and follows the rules.
Purchases
You can buy our products and services through different platforms like the Apple App Store, Google Play, Shopify, and other approved services (we’ll call these "external services"). When you make a purchase, it’s handled through your account on that specific service (your "External Service Account"). The rules for making purchases and any taxes (which can change depending on where you live) will be shared with you when you make a purchase.
Please note: If a product or service is not allowed in your area, we can’t offer it there.
- In-App Fees: We may charge fees for using certain parts of our app or services, either now or in the future. You agree to pay for any products or services you choose to buy through our app using your account, including any taxes. The prices may change, but we will always let you know in advance if fees go up or if we add new ones. If you need a refund for something you purchased from Apple, follow these instructions. For Google refunds, follow these instructions.
- Subscriptions: If you start a free trial for a subscription and don’t cancel before the trial period ends, it will automatically switch to a paid subscription. This means the payment method you set up (like through Apple or Google Play) will be charged. Your subscription will keep renewing and charging you until you cancel it. You can cancel by following the steps provided in the "Cancellations and Refunds" section. Keep in mind, if you've already used a free trial from the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you won't be able to get another one. In that case, you'll be signed up for a paid subscription automatically. When you buy a subscription, it will renew automatically at the price you agreed to when you signed up, until you decide to cancel. The price and details were shown to you when you first subscribed. If you cancel, you’ll still have access to your subscription benefits until the end of your current period, and then your subscription will expire. Since you can still use our services without a subscription, canceling your subscription won’t delete your profile. If you want to fully remove your profile, check our privacy policy for instructions on how to do that. To cancel, log in to your account (like your Apple or Google account) and follow the steps to cancel.
- For canceling on Apple, follow these steps.
- For canceling on Google, follow these steps.
Sharing Your Ideas and Feedback
When you send us your ideas, suggestions, feedback, or anything else (“Comments”), whether online, by email, or mail, you agree that we can use, edit, share, and publish them however we want, at any time. We don’t have to keep your Comments private, pay you for them, or reply to them.
You also agree that your Comments won’t break any laws or rights, like copyright, privacy, or trademarks, and won’t include anything offensive, harmful, or illegal. Please don’t use a fake email or pretend to be someone else. You’re responsible for what you share with us, and we’re not responsible for any problems caused by your Comments.
Closing or Pausing Your Account
We have the right to pause, limit, or close your account and stop you from using our services for any reason, without needing to tell you first. You can close your account whenever you want by emailing us at hello@moonpaws.com and sharing enough information so we can confirm it’s really you. Once your account is closed, you must stop using our services. Keep in mind, closing your account doesn’t change any responsibilities you had with us before it was closed. Some parts of our agreement will still apply even after your account is closed.

Linking to Our Website and Social Media
You can link to our services as long as it’s done fairly and legally, and doesn’t harm Pawstrology’s reputation or try to take unfair advantage. Here’s what you need to know:
- Don’t create links in a way that suggests we are connected, approve, or endorse what you’re doing without our clear written permission.
- You can’t display our website (or parts of it) on other websites unless you own those websites or have written permission from us. This includes framing, deep linking, or showing our content in ways that make it look like it’s part of another site.
- Follow the rules in our terms when using our services and don’t do anything that goes against them.
Links from Our Website
Our services may have links to other websites ("Linked Sites"). These links are just for your convenience. Just because we link to a site doesn’t mean we support or are connected to it. We have no control over the content on Linked Sites and can’t take responsibility for what they show. If you choose to visit one of these Linked Sites, you’re doing it at your own risk and have to follow their terms of use. Anything that happens between you and a Linked Site is not our responsibility, and we are not liable for any issues or losses that come from using them.
