Rules for Adverts and Accounts on Pets Connected

At PetsConnected.com, we aim to create a safe, ethical, and welcoming environment for all users.
To help maintain this community, we have clear rules and guidelines that everyone must follow when posting adverts or managing accounts.

Here’s what you need to know about our rules for adverts and accounts:

📝 Rules for Posting Adverts

When posting an advert on Pets Connected, all users must adhere to these guidelines:

1. Honesty is key — Your advert should accurately reflect the pet, service, or product being offered.

2. No misrepresentation — Do not provide false information about the pet’s breed, age, health, or temperament.

3. Follow animal welfare standards — Ensure that pets are not underage (e.g., puppies should be at least 8 weeks old) and are kept in safe, healthy environments.

4. Do not promote illegal activities — Adverts for prohibited species or illegal sales (such as smuggled or endangered animals) will be removed.

5. Appropriate photos — Only post clear, recent photos of the pet or service being offered. Avoid using misleading or stock images.

6. Pricing transparency — Clearly list prices, and avoid hidden fees or payment scams.

If your advert does not comply with these rules, it may be removed or blocked.

👤 Rules for Account Management

To maintain the safety and integrity of the platform, you must:

1. Be truthful in your profile information — Ensure your account details match your ID, if applicable.

2. No fraudulent behaviour — Creating fake accounts to scam others or post misleading adverts is strictly prohibited.

3. Respect other users — Treat others with kindness and respect. Harassment or offensive behaviour will result in account suspension.

4. Keep your password safe — Use a strong, unique password for your account, and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for added security.

If we detect any violations of these rules, your account may be suspended or banned, and any offending adverts will be removed.

🚨 Consequences of Violating the Rules

If your advert or account violates our guidelines:

• We will issue a warning and give you a chance to correct the issue.

• If the issue is not resolved, we may remove your advert or suspend your account.

• Repeated or severe violations could result in a permanent ban from the platform.

📑 Disputes and Appeals

If you believe your advert or account was removed or blocked unfairly:

• You can appeal by contacting our support team.

• Provide as much detail as possible about the issue and any steps you have taken to resolve it.

• Our team will review the situation and provide you with a resolution.
