Terms of Use

Effective date: 18 July 2026 · Last updated: 18 July 2026

This document is available in several languages. The English version is the authoritative one.

Welcome to TailBook. These Terms of Use are the agreement between you and us for using the platform. We have kept them clear and friendly on purpose — you should be able to understand what you are agreeing to. By creating an account or using TailBook, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use TailBook.

1. Who we are

TailBook is operated by TailBook d.o.o., registered in Montenegro, at Trg Sunca br. 4, 85310 Budva. You can reach us at tailbookme@gmail.com or through the Support button in the app.

2. What TailBook is

TailBook is a coordination platform for animal welfare, on the web and on mobile. With TailBook you can:

  • create and follow the life story of an animal;
  • record actions and attach evidence (photos, notes);
  • connect animals with the organizations and providers that shelter, treat, or care for them;
  • take part in programs and cases that coordinate help toward verified outcomes.

TailBook is a tool for coordination and transparency. It is not a veterinary service, a shelter, a broker, or a financial institution, and it does not give veterinary, legal, or financial advice.

3. Your account

To use most features you create an account with accurate information, and you verify your email. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for activity under your account. Tell us right away if you notice anything suspicious. You must be at least 16 to use TailBook.

4. Licence to use TailBook

We grant you a personal, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable licence to use TailBook for its intended purpose — coordinating and supporting animal welfare. You may not:

  • copy, modify, reverse‑engineer, or create derivative works of the platform;
  • resell, rent, or redistribute the platform;
  • use it for unlawful purposes or in ways that harm animals or people;
  • use automated systems to scrape or overload the service.

All rights in the TailBook software, design, and brand belong to us.

5. Your content and the animal life story

You keep ownership of the photos, notes, and records you contribute. By posting them, you:

  • confirm you have the right to share them;
  • grant us the permission we need to display them within the platform and in an animal's public life story;
  • understand that content you add to a public life story or profile is visible to others by design.

Please only add truthful information and content you have the right to use. We may remove content that breaks these Terms.

6. Community rules

TailBook works because people act in good faith. When you use it, you agree to:

  • record truthful information about animals and actions;
  • treat other people and organizations with respect;
  • not use TailBook for fraud, deception, or the trafficking or sale of animals;
  • not post abusive, misleading, infringing, or spam content;
  • not impersonate others or create accounts to evade limits.

If these rules are broken, we may warn you, remove content, or suspend or close the account — in serious cases, without prior notice.

7. Organizations and providers

If you create or represent an organization or provider on TailBook, you confirm you are authorised to do so and that its information is accurate. Some listings and roles are curated or verified by our team. Being present in the network does not imply our endorsement, and it does not by itself grant any financial capability.

8. Programs, cases, and the Capital Loop

TailBook includes a Capital Loop: organizations can submit a case for a specific animal, which is reviewed, approved, funded against a spending authority, supported by evidence, and closed with a recorded outcome.

Today, the payment execution layer is a clearly labelled sandbox — no real money moves through TailBook. The amounts, cases, and outcomes are real coordination records, but the card/payment step is a mock for demonstration. If and when real payment features launch, additional terms will apply and we will make them available before you use them.

Two principles matter here:

  • Participation is not financial eligibility. Taking part in the network does not entitle anyone to receive or control funds; that is governed separately.
  • No financial or investment advice. Nothing in TailBook is financial, investment, or legal advice.

9. What we do not guarantee

TailBook is provided "as is" and "as available." We work hard to keep it stable and secure, but we cannot guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error‑free, that information posted by users is accurate, or that any particular outcome (such as an adoption or a recovery) will happen. Interactions and decisions between users are their own responsibility.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TailBook d.o.o. is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, for the actions of other users, or for decisions you make based on information in TailBook. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you have paid us (if any) for the service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Suspension and termination

You can stop using TailBook at any time and delete your account in settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms or that poses a risk to animals, people, or the platform. Some records may be retained as described in the Privacy Policy or as required by law.

12. Privacy

Your privacy matters. How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of your use of TailBook. Please read it.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as TailBook evolves. For significant changes we will give notice in the app and, where appropriate, by email before they take effect; minor updates are published here with a new date. Continuing to use TailBook after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Montenegro, without prejudice to mandatory consumer‑protection or data‑protection rights you have where you live. If a dispute arises, please contact us first — we will genuinely try to resolve it. If we cannot, the dispute may be brought before the competent courts of Montenegro, or, where the law gives you that right, the courts of your place of residence.
