§ 2. General provisions

1. The Website serves to spread knowledge about breeding pedigree dogs and cats and to connect breeders with people looking for an animal.

2. The Operator is not a party to contracts concluded between Breeders and other Users (e.g. the sale of an animal), does not act as an intermediary in payments between them and does not verify animals. The Breeder is responsible for the content of listings and for the lawfulness of the sale. If the Breeder is not a trader, consumer rights legislation does not apply to a contract with that Breeder.

3. The Operator does not verify the identity of Users, subject to verification of a Breeding's membership of an organisation to the extent described in § 4(7).

4. An Account may be created by an adult with full legal capacity or by a legal person. A person who has reached the age of 13 but not the age of 18 may use the Website to the extent that they may acquire rights and incur obligations, with the consent of their statutory representative.

5. The User uses the Website in accordance with the law, the Terms and Conditions and generally accepted standards of conduct.

6. The Terms and Conditions do not exclude or limit the rights of Consumers under mandatory provisions of law. In the event of conflict, those provisions prevail.

§ 3. Services and technical requirements

1. Use of the Website requires a device with internet access and an up-to-date version of the Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge browser with JavaScript and cookies enabled.

2. The Operator provides by electronic means free services: browsing the Website, the Account, the Kennel/Cattery Page in the Basic Package, Private Messages (including those sent to a Breeding without creating an Account), notifications of new litters, “Favourites” and “Recently viewed” — and paid services: the Puppy Package and Paid Promotions.

3. The contract for maintaining an Account is concluded for an indefinite period upon activation of the Account via the link sent to the e-mail address. An Account can also be created by signing in with a Google or Facebook account, if that method is available on the Website at the given time. A User may have one Account assigned to one e-mail address and does not share the password with third parties.

4. The contract for services that do not require an Account (browsing, a message without an Account, litter notifications) is concluded when the User starts using the service and ends when the User stops using it or unsubscribes.

5. The User provides true and up-to-date data and updates them if they change.

§ 4. Kennel/Cattery Page, Basic Package and Puppy Package

1. Free of charge and with no expiry date (Basic Package), a User with a Breeder Account may: create a Kennel/Cattery Page, add breeds, animals and litters, mark available animals and planned litters, receive Private Messages and be visible in the search engine and on breed and location pages.

2. The Puppy Package extends a Breeding Profile with the functions set out in the Price List, in particular:

a) a higher position on lists of Breedings under the rules of § 5,

b) display of the Social Media Profile Address under the rules of § 6,

c) Kennel/Cattery Page statistics (para. 5),

d) the option to order Paid Promotions,

e) in the case of a Package for a period of one year – inclusion in the “Promoted kennels” section on the home page under the rules of § 5(4).

3. The Puppy Package and Paid Promotions are purchased separately for each Breeding Profile.

4. The Puppy Package does not renew automatically. After it expires, the Breeding Profile returns to the Basic Package; Content, animals, litters and markings remain.

5. Kennel/Cattery Page statistics cover the number of views of the Kennel/Cattery Page and of animal and litter pages, clicks on “Show number” and Private Messages received over the last 30 days. The Breeder sees only aggregate figures, without any data about the persons visiting. The figures are estimates: the Operator filters out automated traffic but does not guarantee that it filters it out completely. The rules for processing data when calculating statistics are set out in the Privacy Policy.

6. The Operator grants a newly created Breeding a free period of the Puppy Package on the terms and to the extent set out in the Price List (once per Breeding). When that period ends, the Package expires without any charge.

7. The Breeding catalogue presents Breedings that have completed registration, i.e. that have selected an organisation accepted by the Operator and provided the data required in the Kennel/Cattery Page form. The Operator may request confirmation of the Breeding's membership of the organisation and, if no confirmation is provided, apply the measures referred to in § 11(3) or terminate the contract with notice (§ 16(2)).

§ 5. Order in which Breedings are presented and labelling of paid positions

1. Lists of Breedings (the search engine and the catalogue, including with filters for breed, town and radius, country, “puppies available”, “planned litters”, and lists of similar breeds) are ordered automatically according to the following parameters, in order of importance:

a) only where the User sets a price filter: first Breedings that have stated a litter price within the selected range and currency, then Breedings with a price in PLN or EUR outside the range, and finally Breedings with no price stated; within each of these groups, points b–e apply;

b) an active Paid Promotion in the form of featured placement in search results – such Breedings are presented first;

c) an active Puppy Package, also during the free period under § 4(6) – such Breedings are presented before the others;

d) within each group: first Breedings with a litter with available puppies or with a planned litter;

e) then the date on which the Kennel/Cattery Page was created – newer ones higher.

2. The “Kennels” section on a breed description page: a) active featured placement in search results, b) an active Puppy Package (also during the free period), c) other Breedings; within each group: first Breedings with available puppies, then those with a planned litter, and then in the order in which the breed was added to the Breeding Profile (added earlier – higher).

3. Filters selected by the User (breed, location, radius, country, availability) only narrow the list; the distance from the indicated town does not affect the order. Earlier, expired payments have no effect on the order. Breedings based in the Russian Federation are not presented in the search engine or on the lists.

4. The “Promoted kennels” section on the home page first includes Breedings with an active Paid Promotion on the home page (longer-running ones higher) and, in the free places, Breedings with an active Puppy Package for a period of one year (those ending later higher). A condition for being displayed in this section, also where a Paid Promotion has been purchased, is adding a Breeding photo. The other sections of the home page (“Puppies available now”, “New kennels on Look4dog”) present Breedings according to the date of the latest litter or the date on which the Breeding was created; payments have no effect on them.

5. Each Breeding whose position results from a Puppy Package (also during the free period) or from a Paid Promotion is labelled “Paid placement”. A description of the rules in paras 1–4 is available directly from the lists of Breedings.

6. A higher position can be obtained only through the Puppy Package or a Paid Promotion, on the terms and at the price set out in the Price List. The Operator does not accept any other fees or benefits in return for a position, does not change the order manually and does not determine it on the basis of ratings of Breedings.

§ 6. Social Media Profile Address

1. A User with a Breeder Account may enter one Social Media Profile Address of the Breeding (dogs or cats) in the Kennel/Cattery Page field intended for this purpose. The address is displayed on the Kennel/Cattery Page only during the period for which the Puppy Package has been paid, including the free period under § 4(6).

2. The Website does not provide for entering the address of the Breeding's website or any addresses other than the Social Media Profile Address. Social media profile addresses may not be placed outside the field referred to in para. 1, including in descriptions of Breedings, animals and litters – also where the Breeding does not have a Puppy Package (§ 10(2)(2)).

3. The address must lead directly to the profile of the Breeding run by the User, on the facebook.com, instagram.com or tiktok.com domain, over an encrypted connection (https). Shortened and redirecting addresses are not allowed. The profile may not contain the content referred to in § 10(2), points 1 and 3–15.

4. The link is marked as leading outside the Website. The Operator is not responsible for the content of the profile to which the address leads.

5. After the Puppy Package expires, the address is not displayed; it remains saved in the Breeder Account and is displayed again once the Package has been paid. The User may change or delete the address at any time.

6. The Operator may hide an address that does not comply with para. 3, informing the User of the reason under the rules of § 11(3).

§ 7. Paid services and payments

1. The Puppy Package and Paid Promotions are paid services. Their scope, periods and prices are set out in the Price List. Prices are gross prices (including VAT) in the currency applicable to the User's country and are shown before the order is placed.

2. Payment is a one-off payment for the selected period, made via the payment operator Stripe, using the methods available at the time of the order (e.g. payment card, BLIK). The Operator does not store card details and does not charge recurring fees.

3. The contract for a paid service is concluded when the order is placed and paid for. The Package period runs from the booking of the payment; extending an active Package adds the new period to the end date of the current one.

4. A Paid Promotion may be ordered while a Puppy Package is active. The period of a Paid Promotion may not be longer than the period remaining until the end of the Package, except for a post on the Operator's social media channels. A post on the Operator's social media channels may be ordered only together with another Paid Promotion or while another Paid Promotion is active.

5. The User receives confirmation of the conclusion of the contract (name of the service, period, price, information on the right of withdrawal and these Terms and Conditions) at the Account e-mail address. The Operator issues an invoice at the User's request submitted to administrator@look4dog.com.

§ 8. Right of withdrawal (Consumers)

1. A Consumer may withdraw from a contract for the Puppy Package or a Paid Promotion within 14 days of its conclusion, without giving any reason, by sending a statement to administrator@look4dog.com or in writing to the Operator's address. The model form set out in Annex 1 may be used (this is not mandatory). To meet the deadline, it is sufficient to send the statement before the deadline expires.

2. The Puppy Package and Paid Promotions start working immediately after the payment has been booked. Therefore, an order requires the Consumer's express request to begin performance before the withdrawal period expires, made by ticking a box in the order form. If, after making such a request, the Consumer withdraws from the contract, they pay for the service provided up to the time of withdrawal, in proportion to the number of days on which the service was active.

3. The right of withdrawal does not apply if the Operator has fully performed the service with the express consent of the Consumer who, before performance began, was informed that they would lose the right of withdrawal once the service had been fully performed, and acknowledged this (e.g. a published post as part of a Paid Promotion).

4. The Operator refunds the payment (less the amount under para. 2) without undue delay, and no later than 14 days after receiving the statement, using the same payment method, unless the Consumer agrees to another method that does not involve any costs.

5. The effects of withdrawal on a reward received in a Promotional Offer are set out in the Promotion Terms (§ 9(6)).

§ 9. Promotional Offers

1. The Operator may run Promotional Offers concerning paid services, in particular:

a) offers of service bundles under their own name at a combined price (e.g. Packages for the dog and cat Profile),

b) “second Package free” – when two Packages are purchased in one order, limited to one use per Account in a given Offer,

c) non-price rewards for a purchase: a discount code for the KEBZOO by Look4dog online shop (kebzoo.com) or a product (e.g. pet food) sent by the Operator,

d) additional Package days or a free Paid Promotion.

2. Each Promotional Offer has its own Promotion Terms, published on the Website before the Offer starts. The Promotion Terms set out at least: duration, eligible persons, conditions, reward, limits, how the reward is collected and the effects of withdrawal from the contract. Matters not governed by the Promotion Terms are governed by these Terms and Conditions; in matters governed by the Promotion Terms, the Promotion Terms prevail.

3. Promotional Offers cannot be combined unless the Promotion Terms provide otherwise.

4. When announcing a price reduction for a service, the Operator states the lowest price of that service in the 30 days before the reduction was introduced. Bundle offers and non-price rewards are not a reduction in the price of an individual service, and the prices in the Price List remain unchanged.

5. A discount code for the kebzoo.com shop is redeemed under the terms and conditions of the kebzoo.com shop, within the validity period stated with the code; it cannot be exchanged for cash. A free product is sent by the Operator only to an address in Poland or in Germany provided by the User in the reward collection form, within the time limit set out in the Promotion Terms.

6. In the event of withdrawal from the contract (§ 8), an unused discount code becomes invalid, and the rules for returning a free product are set out in the Promotion Terms.

7. Information about Promotional Offers, including discount codes sent to Users regardless of a purchase (e.g. welcome codes for the kebzoo.com shop), constitutes Commercial Communications and is sent only to Users who have given the consent referred to in § 12(3). A code or reward due for a purchase made is delivered as a Service Message.

§ 10. Prohibited Content

1. It is prohibited to use the Website in a way that disrupts its operation, in particular by using bots, automation scripts and malware, and to act to the detriment of the Website, the Operator or Users.

2. In particular, it is not permitted on the Website to:

1) engage in unlawful activities or promote dangerous or unlawful behaviour;

2) place in Content, in particular in the description of a Kennel/Cattery Page, an animal or a litter, e-mail addresses, links (including addresses of social media profiles) and logos leading to websites other than those belonging to the Operator; the only permitted place for a social media profile address is the field referred to in § 6;

3) post Content that is offensive, bears the hallmarks of unfair competition, infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights, or infringes the good name of the Website, the Operator or third parties;

4) publish untrue or misleading Content, including untrue data about a Breeding, its organisation and its animals;

5) send malware or harmful code;

6) disseminate Content that causes damage to or disruption of networks or servers;

7) disseminate Content that spreads hatred or incites violence;

8) disseminate personal data or confidential information of other persons without their consent;

11) disseminate spam and unsolicited Commercial Communications, in particular via Private Messages;

12) disseminate pornographic Content or direct others to such websites;

13) make threats, insults or personal attacks;

14) impersonate other persons;

15) promote activities contrary to animal protection legislation or to kennel club and cat fancy rules.

§ 11. Reporting Content, moderation and restrictions

1. Anyone may report Content that they consider illegal or incompatible with the Terms and Conditions to administrator@look4dog.com, stating: the reasons, the exact address of the page containing the Content, the name and e-mail address of the person reporting (this does not apply to reports of offences against children) and a statement that the report is made in good faith. The Operator confirms receipt of the report and informs about its decision.

2. Reports are examined and decisions on restrictions are taken by a human, without undue delay. Automated tools are used only to: check the format of addresses in Kennel/Cattery Page fields, find e-mail addresses, links and social media profile addresses in descriptions of Breedings, animals and litters (para. 4), and filter out automated traffic in statistics.

3. Depending on the seriousness of the infringement, the Operator may: hide or remove Content, restrict the visibility of a Kennel/Cattery Page, suspend an Account or terminate the contract (§ 16). The Operator informs the User of the measure applied no later than when it is applied, stating: the type of measure, the facts, the provision of the Terms and Conditions or of law on which it is based, and the possibility of filing a complaint (§ 15) and of judicial redress.

4. E-mail addresses, links and social media profile addresses in Content (§ 10(2)(2)) – including social media profile addresses in descriptions of Breedings without a Puppy Package – are handled by the Operator as follows:

a) it sends to the Account e-mail address a request to remove the address, indicating the Content concerned and the provision of the Terms and Conditions;

b) it sets a time limit of 14 days from sending the request; during this time the User may remove the address and move the social media profile address to the field referred to in § 6 (displayed during the period of the Puppy Package);

c) if the time limit expires without effect, it hides only the address in the Content, leaving the rest of the Content unchanged;

d) it informs the User of the hiding, with a statement of reasons in accordance with para. 3;

e) the User may file a complaint (§ 15); if the complaint is upheld, the Content is restored.

5. The point of contact for Users and authorities in matters under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act) is administrator@look4dog.com; correspondence in Polish or English.

§ 12. Service Messages and Commercial Communications

1. The Operator sends Service Messages without separate consent, to the extent necessary to provide the services (e.g. Account activation, a new Private Message, reminders about unfinished actions in the Account, payments, changes to the Terms and Conditions). Reminders can be switched off via the link in the message.

2. Service Messages do not contain Commercial Communications unless the recipient has given the consent referred to in para. 3.

3. The Operator sends Commercial Communications, including the newsletter, Promotional Offers and offers and codes of the KEBZOO by Look4dog online shop, by electronic means only to Users who have given their separate, voluntary consent to this. Telephone or SMS contact for marketing purposes requires a separate consent. Consent is not a condition for creating an Account or using the Website.

4. Consent may be withdrawn at any time in the Account settings, via the link in the message or by writing to administrator@look4dog.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of messages sent before it.

§ 13. Liability

1. The Operator is not liable for interruptions in the operation of the Website caused by force majeure, unlawful actions of third parties or incompatibility of the Website with the User's infrastructure, or for damage resulting from the User providing untrue data.

2. The Operator is not liable for Content posted by Users or for the content of websites and profiles to which addresses provided by Users lead, subject to the obligations arising from § 11 and from the provisions on hosting services.

3. The User declares that they hold the rights to the Content they post and is responsible for its lawfulness.

4. The limitations in paras 1–2 do not exclude the Operator's liability towards a Consumer for non-performance or improper performance of an obligation, unless it results from circumstances for which the Operator is not responsible.

§ 14. Intellectual property and licence

1. The Website, its layout, software, databases, trademarks and the Operator's content are protected by law. Without the Operator's consent, they may not be copied, and the database may not be extracted in whole or in a substantial part, except within the limits of permitted use.

2. By posting Content, the User grants the Operator a free-of-charge, non-exclusive licence, without territorial restrictions, to use it for purposes related to running and promoting the Website (including as part of an ordered Paid Promotion on the Operator's social media channels): recording, reproduction, making available to the public and adapting the format (e.g. cropping, resizing, translating the description), with the right to grant sub-licences to the extent necessary for publication in those channels.

3. The licence lasts for the period in which the Content is published on the Website and expires when the Content is removed, except for backup copies kept in accordance with the Privacy Policy and publications already made as part of a Paid Promotion.

4. Photos and descriptions of animals may be used by other Users only within the limits of permitted use.

§ 15. Complaints

1. Complaints concerning the Website and the services may be submitted to administrator@look4dog.com or in writing to the Operator's address. A complaint should include contact details and a description of the problem.

2. The Operator handles a complaint within 14 days of receiving it and sends the reply to the User's e-mail address. If the Operator does not reply to a Consumer within this time limit, the complaint is deemed accepted.

3. A Consumer may use out-of-court complaint and redress procedures, in particular the assistance of a municipal or district consumer ombudsman or of a provincial inspectorate of the Trade Inspection (Poland).

§ 16. Termination of the contract

1. The User may terminate the contract for maintaining an Account at any time by deleting the Account or by sending a statement to administrator@look4dog.com. Termination of the contract before the end of the paid period does not give the right to a refund for the unused period, subject to § 8 and mandatory provisions of law.

2. The Operator may terminate the contract with notice for important reasons, subject to a notice period of one month, no shorter than 30 days. Important reasons include in particular: closure of the Website or a change in its profile, a change in legislation, a change in the technical conditions for providing the services, a Breeding not meeting the conditions under § 1(6) (including not being a member of an accepted organisation) or failure to complete the registration of a Breeding despite a request to do so.

3. The Operator may terminate the contract with immediate effect in the event of a serious or repeated breach of § 10 or of the law.

4. Termination with notice and termination with immediate effect are made electronically to the Account e-mail address and state the reason and the possibility of filing a complaint (§ 15).

§ 17. Personal data

The Operator is the controller of Users' personal data. The rules for processing data, including when calculating statistics, handling Promotional Offers and sending messages, are set out in the Privacy Policy.

§ 18. Changes to the Terms and Conditions and final provisions

1. The Operator may change the Terms and Conditions for important reasons: changes in legislation, changes in technical conditions, changes in the scope or prices of services, changes in services provided to the Operator by third parties.

2. The Operator notifies Users with an Account of a change by e-mail and publishes the consolidated text of the Terms and Conditions with the date of entry into force at least 15 days before that date. A User who does not accept the changes may terminate the contract by that date (§ 16(1)). The changes do not apply to services paid for before their entry into force insofar as they would worsen the terms of those services.

3. The Terms and Conditions were drawn up in Polish. The English, German, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian versions are translations. In the event of discrepancies, the Polish version prevails, except for provisions more favourable to the Consumer in the version in the Consumer's language.

4. Contracts concluded on the basis of the Terms and Conditions are governed by Polish law. The choice of law does not deprive the Consumer of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country of their habitual residence.

5. The Terms and Conditions are available free of charge on the Website in a form that allows them to be downloaded, saved and printed. Previous versions are available in the Terms and Conditions Archive.
