Terms & Conditions

Last updated: June 11, 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Blokhaus Inc., a New Hampshire corporation ("Blokhaus," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), and govern your access to and use of Boopsy, our mobile application, together with our websites and related services (collectively, the "Services"). Boopsy is a product of Blokhaus Inc. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are under 18, you may use the Services only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. Features that facilitate in-person meetups — including DoggySit and arranging or attending park meetups — are intended for adults 18 and older. You represent that you are not barred from using the Services under applicable law and that all information you provide is accurate.

3. Your account

You are responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping your device and credentials secure. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. Notify us promptly at support@boopsy.com of any unauthorized use. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account, impersonate others, or create an account if we have previously banned you.

4. License to use the Services

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the app on a device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract source code from the Services, except where such restriction is prohibited by law; interfere with or disrupt the Services; access them by automated means or scrape data; or use them to build a competing product.

5. Subscriptions & billing

Boopsy is free to download. Certain features (for example, posting DoggySit requests and other premium features) require a paid subscription ("Premium").

• Billing through the stores. Subscriptions purchased on iOS or Android are billed by Apple or Google through your store account and are subject to that store's terms. Subscriptions purchased elsewhere are billed by our payment processor.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Cancellation. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings (or, for other purchases, as we direct). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then.
• Free trials & promotions. If a free trial or promotional offer is provided, unused portions are forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable, and the offer terms control.
• Price changes. We may change subscription prices; changes apply to renewals after reasonable notice as required by the applicable store or law.
• Refunds. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, and partial periods are not refunded. Refunds for store purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

6. Your content

You own your content. You retain all rights you have in the photos, posts, comments, messages, and other content you submit ("User Content"). You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of sharing it.

License to us. You grant Blokhaus Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for example, resize images), and display your User Content solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Services and as you direct through your audience and visibility settings. This license ends when your User Content is deleted, except for content shared with others, content retained in backups for a limited period, or where retention is required by law. End-to-end encrypted messages are transmitted and stored only as ciphertext that we cannot read.

Your promises. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms, infringe any third party's rights, or break the law.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Services to, and not to allow anyone to:

• post or share content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, threatening, defamatory, sexually explicit, or that depicts cruelty to animals or graphic violence;
• bully, stalk, threaten, or harass any person, or incite others to do so;
• share content that infringes intellectual property or violates the privacy or publicity rights of others;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
• post spam, scams, pyramid schemes, or unauthorized advertising;
• collect or harvest others' information, or solicit personal information from minors;
• upload viruses or malicious code, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or other accounts;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or moderation features, including rate limits;
• use the Services for any illegal activity or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

8. Moderation & enforcement

To keep the community safe and comply with app-store requirements, publicly viewable content may be screened by automated tools, and we may review reports. We may, in our discretion and without notice, remove or restrict content, limit features, and warn, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe create risk or legal exposure. We are not obligated to monitor content, and we are not responsible for content provided by users.

9. DoggySit & in-person interactions — important disclaimers

Boopsy helps dog owners connect, plan meetups, and arrange informal dog-sitting ("DoggySit"). Boopsy is a neutral venue. We are not a party to any arrangement between users, are not a pet-sitting agency, employer, or broker, and do not provide pet-care services. You understand and agree that:

• We do not conduct background checks, identity verification, or screening of users, dogs, homes, or sitters, and we make no representation about any user's character, fitness, or suitability;
• Any decision to meet, exchange care of a dog, enter a home, pay, or accept payment is made solely by you, at your own risk and discretion;
• Any fees for paid sits are arranged and settled directly between users; Boopsy does not process those payments, set prices, hold funds, or guarantee performance;
• You are responsible for your own and your dog's health, vaccinations, behavior, licensing, insurance, and compliance with local laws; and for any property, injury, or loss arising from a meetup or sit;
• You should take normal safety precautions, meet in public where possible, and trust your judgment.

Assumption of risk & release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume all risks associated with in-person meetups and dog-sitting arranged through the Services, and you release Blokhaus Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or related to your interactions with other users, whether online or in person, including any injury to persons or animals, property damage, theft, or loss.

10. Copyright & DMCA

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to dmca@boopsy.com including: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. We may remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers. You may submit a counter-notice as permitted by the DMCA.

11. Our intellectual property

The Services, including the Boopsy name and logo, the app, designs, text, graphics, and software, are owned by Blokhaus Inc. or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 4, we grant you no rights in our intellectual property. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written permission.

12. Third-party services & advertising

The Services rely on and may link to third-party services (such as app stores, sign-in providers, payment processors, mapping and geocoding providers, and push-notification services). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms and policies.

Advertising. The Services may include advertising or promoted content, which may be provided by us or by third-party advertising partners. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, third-party ads or the products or services they promote; any dealings you have with advertisers are solely between you and them. We do not sell your User Content to advertisers, and we do not use the content of your end-to-end encrypted messages for advertising. How we collect and use information in connection with advertising is described in our Privacy Policy.

13. Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and share information.

14. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT OR LOCATION/MAP DATA WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY REGARDING ANY USER OR ANY IN-PERSON INTERACTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BLOKHAUS INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES OR ANY INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER USER, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Blokhaus Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Services, your interactions or arrangements with other users (including any in-person meetup or dog-sit), or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

17. Disputes, governing law & arbitration

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act and U.S. federal law. Subject to the arbitration agreement below, the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration is the state and federal courts located in New Hampshire, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.

Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@boopsy.com and giving us 30 days to resolve it.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Blokhaus Inc. agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as provided below. The arbitration will be conducted in New Hampshire or, at your election, by telephone, video, or written submission. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and Blokhaus Inc. agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized access to the Services.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@boopsy.com with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

18. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Services or other users. Upon termination, the license in Section 4 ends. Sections that by their nature should survive — including Sections 6 (license to us), 9, 11, and 14–22 — survive termination.

19. Apple & Google App Store additional terms

If you download the app from the Apple App Store: these Terms are between you and Blokhaus Inc., not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation, and any claims relating to the app (including product-liability, legal/regulatory non-compliance, or consumer-protection claims) are our responsibility, not Apple's. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S.-Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list.

If you download the app from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and similar allocations of responsibility apply between you and Blokhaus Inc. rather than Google.

20. Changes to the Services and these Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Services (or any part) at any time. We may also update these Terms; when changes are material, we will update the "Last updated" date and provide reasonable notice. Your continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Services.

21. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Blokhaus Inc. regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may provide notices through the app, by email, or on our website.
• Export & government use. You agree to comply with U.S. export-control and sanctions laws.
