About Critter Cupid

Critter Cupid is a free online community created for pet owners and pet lovers. The website allows users to create profiles, upload pet photos, share experiences, participate in forums, interact with other members, and possibly connect with other pet owners at their own discretion.

Critter Cupid is a community platform. We are not a pet adoption agency, breeder, veterinary provider, pet care provider, animal rescue, background-check company, marketplace, or professional matching service.

We do not guarantee the identity, background, intentions, conduct, pet ownership, pet health, pet behavior, or accuracy of information provided by any user.

By using the website, you represent that you are legally able to agree to these Terms and that the information you provide is accurate and truthful.

We reserve the right to refuse access, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts at our discretion.

You are responsible for the information you post. You agree not to post false, misleading, harmful, offensive, illegal, or inappropriate information.

You should not post sensitive personal information, such as your home address, financial information, government identification numbers, private medical information, or anything you do not want other users or the public to see.

Critter Cupid is not responsible for injuries, illness, property damage, disputes, pet behavior, pet loss, veterinary expenses, or other issues that may arise from pet interactions or user decisions.

Critter Cupid allows users to connect and communicate, but all interactions are at your own discretion and risk.

We do not conduct background checks, identity verification, home checks, pet checks, criminal history checks, or safety screenings of users.

We do not guarantee that any user is honest, safe, trustworthy, responsible, or suitable to meet.

You are responsible for using caution when communicating with or meeting other users. If you choose to meet someone in person, we recommend meeting in a public place, telling someone you trust, bringing another person when appropriate, and using good judgment.

Critter Cupid is not responsible for any online or offline interaction between users, including meetings, conversations, disputes, injuries, damages, losses, pet incidents, or other outcomes.

Forums, Comments, and Community Discussions

We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, safety, or usefulness of user-generated content. You should not rely on community posts as professional advice.

We may moderate, edit, remove, or refuse content, but we are not required to monitor all activity on the website.

If you choose to interact with an advertiser, sponsor, or third-party website, your relationship is with that third party. Critter Cupid is not responsible for third-party transactions, products, services, claims, content, policies, or practices.
