Protect pets

- No animal sales in adoption surfaces and no disguised prices or payment demands.
- No false health, age, breed, ownership, rescue, or adoption claims.
Protect people
- No harassment, stalking, threats, hate, sexual exploitation, blackmail, or encouragement of self-harm.
- No sharing another person's private information, precise location, private messages, or images without authority.
- No fraud, impersonation, phishing, spam, malware, or deceptive fundraising.

Responsible adoption
Use accurate information, verify ownership and health records, meet safely, and do not send money to secure an animal. Petiosa connects people but does not approve adopters, transfer ownership, inspect animals, or guarantee outcomes.
Professional integrity
Professionals must accurately present identity, qualifications, locations, prices, availability, and outcomes. Verification badges are limited signals, not guarantees. Reviews, campaigns, and service information must not be manipulated.
Report and block
Use in-app Report on the relevant profile or content and Block to stop unwanted contact. Do not file malicious or retaliatory reports. For immediate danger, contact local emergency, animal-welfare, or law-enforcement authorities.
Enforcement
Petiosa may warn, reduce distribution, remove content, restrict features, revoke verification, suspend, or terminate accounts based on severity, context, history, and risk. Serious harm can lead to immediate removal and legally valid authority requests may be answered.
