Terms of Service

theirlife.pet, urbreed.com, and lnfpet.com are all part of the same animal record ecosystem. When you create an account or contribute information on any of these platforms, you're contributing to the same animal records and the same audit system.

What this means:

• An animal record created on urbreed.com is accessible through theirlife.pet and lnfpet.com
• Information you enter on one platform is visible across all three
• Your account credentials and stewardship role work across all platforms
• Corrections, amendments, and audit trails are unified across domains
• Our terms of service, liability policies, and correction workflows apply uniformly to all three platforms
• Privacy and data handling practices are consistent across urbreed.com, theirlife.pet, and lnfpet.com

You are agreeing to these terms for your participation across all three domains.

Your Agreement to Protect This Animal's Future

By contributing to this animal's record, you're not just entering data. You're creating a lifelong document that follows this animal through every home, every veterinarian, and every caregiver it will ever have. A future owner might make a life-or-death decision based on what you enter here. A vet might catch a hidden health issue because of your notes. A rescue might prevent an animal from going to an unsuitable home because of your transparency.

We take this responsibility seriously, and we need you to as well.

When you become a steward of an animal's record on our platform, you agree that:

• This record belongs to the animal, not to you
• Your role is to add to its story, not control it
• Once you contribute information, it becomes part of that animal's permanent history
• Future stewards — including owners, vets, and rescues — will have access to what you've recorded
• You cannot delete or remove your contributions, but you can request corrections through our formal process

The animal's safety and welfare come first. Always.

You Are Responsible for What You Record

When you enter information into an animal's record — whether it's health history, behavioral notes, breeding lineage, or incident reports — you're making a factual claim. That claim may influence decisions that affect this animal's life, safety, and wellbeing.

We don't verify what you enter. We don't fact-check your notes. We don't second-guess your records. That's intentional. But it also means you are accountable for accuracy.

By contributing to this animal's record, you warrant that:

• All information you enter is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge
• You have the authority and access to report what you're reporting
• You will not enter false, misleading, or malicious information
• If you later discover an error in something you've recorded, you will immediately request a correction through our formal amendment process
• You understand that false or reckless entries could cause harm to an animal and potentially expose you to legal liability

If a future steward relies on your information and that information proves false, you may be held responsible. We are a platform. You are the source. Own that responsibility.

Your Actions Are Permanently Recorded

Every contribution, edit, correction, and interaction you make on an animal's record is logged in an immutable audit trail. This trail is timestamped, attributed to your account, and cannot be altered or deleted — by you, by us, or by any other steward.

The animal's record has two layers:

• The current state — what's displayed to stewards, vets, and adopters (the "live" record)
• The immutable audit log — every version, every change, who made it, when, and what they changed

This protects everyone:

• Rescues from liability — proves the animal was healthy when transferred
• Breeders from misrepresentation claims — proves what they disclosed
• New owners from surprises — full history available at adoption
• The platform from disputes — clear record of who entered what and when

By using this platform, you acknowledge that your actions create a permanent, auditable record.

We Are Custodians, Not Guarantors

Our platform is a neutral record custodian. We don't own the records. We don't verify the information. We don't police accuracy. We don't make decisions based on the data. Our role is singular: to preserve and protect the animal's record so it persists across all stewards.

What We Do:

• Maintain secure infrastructure to store records
• Ensure contributions are timestamped and traceable
• Provide access to authorized stewards
• Preserve audit trails indefinitely
• Process correction requests through our formal workflow
• Protect the animal's record from loss or tampering

What We Don't Do:

• Verify the accuracy of information you enter
• Fact-check health claims, breeding history, or behavioral reports
• Warrant that the record is complete or correct
• Make decisions about animal placement or care based on the record
• Police misuse of information by stewards
• Take responsibility if someone relies on false information

If you adopt an animal and later discover that a previous steward entered false health information, that is a dispute between you and that steward — not with us. If a vet relies on inaccurate behavioral notes and makes a treatment decision, liability flows to the person who recorded those notes — not to the platform. We are the messenger, not the message.

By using our platform, you agree that you will not hold the platform liable for the accuracy, completeness, or consequences of information in the animal's record. You also agree to hold the platform harmless from disputes arising from reliance on that information.

How We Preserve Truth While Allowing for Human Error

Everyone makes mistakes. A date gets transposed. A medication name is misspelled. A behavioral incident is misremembered or misreported. We get that. But we won't let mistakes disappear. Instead, we have a formal correction process that keeps both the original record and the correction visible.

If You Need to Correct Something You Entered:

1. Submit a correction request through our platform
2. Specify what was wrong and what the correct information should be
3. Provide a reason for the amendment
4. Your correction is reviewed and timestamped
5. The original entry remains in the audit log, marked as superseded
6. The new entry is recorded and linked back to you

Both versions exist forever. Future stewards see what was originally recorded and what was corrected, and when.

For Trusted Stewards (Veterinarians, Rescues, Breeders):

If a veterinarian, licensed rescue, or registered breeder identifies an error in their own contributions, they have authority to amend their entries directly. Their corrections are still logged and timestamped. The original remains visible in the audit trail.

What You Cannot Do:

• Delete your contributions
• Hide previous entries
• Remove information from the audit log
• Retroactively change timestamps
• Prevent future stewards from seeing your original submission

The animal's record is a historical document. It documents what was known and when. That history cannot be erased.

When Stewards Disagree or Act in Bad Faith

We assume good intentions. But sometimes stewards dispute corrections, enter deliberately false information, or try to manipulate the record. This section covers what happens then.

Scenarios That Trigger Review:

• A steward claims their correction was wrong and demands it be reversed
• Multiple stewards report conflicting information about the same animal
• A steward submits information that appears deliberately malicious or defamatory
• A legal authority (vet board, law enforcement, animal welfare agency) challenges the accuracy of a record
• A correction request is denied by the platform and the steward appeals

Our Response:

We do not adjudicate truth. We do not take sides. Instead:

• We flag disputed entries in the animal's record so future stewards see the conflict
• We preserve all versions and amendments so the full history is visible
• We may temporarily lock an entry from further amendments while a dispute is under review
• We may require additional documentation or veterinary verification before accepting corrections on sensitive health claims
• We will cooperate with legal authorities and animal welfare investigations
• We will not remove information based on a single person's complaint — only through formal amendment by the original contributor or through legal process

Bad Faith Conduct:

If you deliberately enter false information, make frivolous disputes, or attempt to manipulate the record, we reserve the right to:

• Restrict your editing privileges
• Flag your contributions as disputed or unverified
• Require veterinary or professional sign-off on future entries
• Terminate your account if behavior persists
• Cooperate with law enforcement or animal welfare authorities if criminal conduct is suspected

The animal's safety comes first. Trolls, abusers, and liars don't get to hide behind the platform.

General Platform Terms

Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree not to share your login information or allow others to use your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, notify us immediately. You are liable for all activity conducted through your account, whether by you or someone you authorized.

Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Access the platform through automated means without permission
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, hack, or breach platform security
• Upload malware, viruses, or harmful code
• Harass, threaten, or defame other stewards
• Impersonate a veterinarian, rescue, breeder, or authority without credentials
• Sell, trade, or commercialize animal records without authorization
• Violate any applicable animal welfare, veterinary practice, or data protection laws

Intellectual Property

The animal records themselves belong to the animals they describe. Your contributions license content to the platform. You retain copyright to photos, written descriptions, and original content you create — but you grant theirlife.pet, urbreed.com, and lnfpet.com a perpetual, royalty-free license to display, preserve, and share that content within the platform ecosystem.

The platform's software, design, and infrastructure are our intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, or distribute them.

Third-Party Integrations

We may integrate with veterinary systems, microchip registries, DNA databases, and other services. Your data may be shared with these partners to enhance the animal's record. We will disclose these integrations in our privacy policy. You agree to the terms of any third-party services we connect to.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, theirlife.pet, urbreed.com, and lnfpet.com are provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We are not liable for loss of data or records, unauthorized access or breaches, reliance on inaccurate information, decisions made based on animal records, loss of income or business opportunity, or indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the past twelve months, or fifty dollars, whichever is greater.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Missouri. If you have a dispute with the platform, you agree to first attempt resolution through our formal dispute process. If that fails, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in Boone County, Missouri, not through court litigation. Each party bears its own arbitration costs.

Modifications to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email or platform notification. Your continued use of the platform after being notified constitutes acceptance of updated terms.

Termination

We may terminate your account or access to the platform at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. Upon termination, your contributions remain in the animal records, but you lose edit and administrative privileges.

Survival

Sections that survive termination include: Animal Record Stewardship, Data Contribution & Accuracy, Audit Trail & Immutability, Dispute Resolution & Bad Faith, and all liability limitations.
