Terms of Use
Last Updated: September 18, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Doggy Dharma mobile application and website (together, the "Service"), operated by 5th House Ventures LLC ("Doggy Dharma," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using it, you represent that you are 13 or older and that the information you provide is accurate. The Service is intended for users in the United States.
3. Nature of the Service — For Entertainment Only
Doggy Dharma provides astrology-based content, personality profiles, horoscopes, and compatibility readings about you and your dog. This content is generated for entertainment and novelty purposes only.
The Service does not provide, and is not a substitute for, veterinary, medical, behavioral, training, or professional advice of any kind. Astrological content has no scientific basis and should never be relied on to make decisions about your dog's health, diet, behavior, training, or care. Always consult a licensed veterinarian or qualified professional for any question about your dog's health or wellbeing. You are solely responsible for decisions you make regarding your dog, and you agree not to rely on the Service for any such decision.
4. Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. You may delete your account at any time in the App (Settings → Delete Account).
5. User Content
You may upload content, including photos of your dog ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. By uploading it, you grant Doggy Dharma a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and process that content solely to operate and provide the Service to you (for example, displaying your dog's photo in the App and on shareable cards you generate).
You represent that you have the right to upload any User Content you submit and that it does not infringe anyone's rights. You are responsible for your User Content.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where permitted by law
Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
Upload content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful
Access the Service through automated means (bots, scrapers) without our permission
Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or its content without our written consent
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its designs, text, graphics, astrological content, archetypes, generated write-ups, templates, logos, and software, is owned by Doggy Dharma or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for User Content, we grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use. Shareable cards you generate are for your personal, non-commercial sharing.
8. Subscriptions (if and when offered)
The Service is currently offered free of charge. We may introduce paid subscription features in the future. If we do, any purchases will be processed through the Apple App Store and billed to your Apple account, and the specific pricing, billing cycle, auto-renewal, and cancellation terms will be presented to you at the point of purchase and governed by the App Store's terms.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content — including astrological, personality, or compatibility content — is accurate, reliable, or suitable for any purpose. Some content is generated by automated systems (including AI) and may contain errors or inconsistencies. You use the Service at your own risk.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOGGY DHARMA AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THIS EXPRESSLY INCLUDES ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM DECISIONS MADE ABOUT YOUR DOG'S HEALTH, CARE, OR BEHAVIOR IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Doggy Dharma from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Indemnification) will survive.
13. Changes to the Service and Terms
We may modify or discontinue the Service, and we may update these Terms. We will notify you of material changes by posting in the App or updating the "Last Updated" date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of California.
15. Apple App Store Terms
These Terms are between you and Doggy Dharma, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. To the extent required by Apple, its standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies, and where these Terms conflict with Apple's, Apple's minimum terms govern for the App Store version.
