Terms of Service
Controller: ADOPT.GE team. Last updated June 26, 2026.
Terms of Service Effective date: 24 June 2026 These terms explain the basic rules for using ADOPT.GE. By using the website, submitting an application, creating or managing a listing, contacting us, using the public chat, or interacting with linked services, you agree to use the website responsibly and only for lawful animal adoption, rescue, foster, donation, or related community purposes. About the service ADOPT.GE helps connect people with rescue animals, rescuers, fosters, organisations, clinics, travel helpers, and other animal-welfare resources in Georgia. We provide the website platform and related tools, but we do not guarantee that any animal, adopter, rescuer, foster, organisation, clinic, travel helper, or third-party service will be available, suitable, verified, or error-free. Accounts and applications You must provide accurate information when you submit an application, create an account, request access, list an animal, or contact the team. You are responsible for keeping account credentials secure and for activity that happens through your account. We may approve, reject, suspend, restrict, or remove accounts, applications, profiles, or listings when needed for moderation, safety, security, data protection, animal welfare, or legal reasons. Listings and user content If you submit animal details, photos, videos, contact information, public locations, stories, or other content, you confirm that you have the right to provide it and allow ADOPT.GE to display, store, process, edit, moderate, translate, or remove it as needed to operate and promote the animal adoption platform. Do not submit content that is false, misleading, abusive, unlawful, infringing, unsafe, or harmful to people or animals. YouTube video uploads If you upload a pet video, you understand that ADOPT.GE uploads the video to the official ADOPT.GE YouTube channel through YouTube API Services. The video starts as private while pending review. If approved, the video may be changed to unlisted and embedded on the public pet profile. Administrators and moderators may approve, reject, hide, or delete videos. By using features powered by YouTube API Services, you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and understand that Google handles data under the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google account access, where applicable, can be revoked at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. Adoptions, fosters, and third parties ADOPT.GE does not itself sell animals, provide veterinary services, provide transport services, process donation payments, or make final adoption decisions for every rescuer or organisation listed on the site. Adoption, foster, veterinary, travel, donation, and other arrangements may involve third parties and are subject to their own checks, rules, fees, terms, and responsibilities. Public chat and automated tools The public chat and automated features may provide helpful information, but they can make mistakes and should not be treated as legal, medical, veterinary, emergency, or professional advice. Do not submit private contact details, addresses, medical information, or sensitive personal data in public chat. Prohibited use You must not use ADOPT.GE to spam, scrape, attack, disrupt, impersonate others, collect data without permission, upload malware, bypass security controls, harass users, publish unlawful content, or arrange animal abuse, exploitation, fraud, or unsafe transfers. We may block access or report misuse where appropriate. Privacy and cookies Personal data, YouTube API Services usage, and browser storage are handled under the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice. Those notices are part of the same legal settings and may be updated by site administrators. Changes and availability We may update the website, change features, remove content, restrict access, or revise these terms when needed. We try to keep the website available and accurate, but we do not promise uninterrupted service or that all content will always be current. Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ADOPT.GE is not responsible for indirect losses, third-party conduct, failed adoptions, incorrect user-submitted information, external service failures, or decisions made based on website content. Nothing in these terms limits responsibility where the law does not allow such limitation. Contact You can contact the controller through the Contact Us form in the website footer.
