Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the FurReal mobile application and the website at https://www.furreal.live (together, the "Service"), operated by Las Mascotas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, doing business as FurReal ("FurReal," "we," "us," or "our").
Please read these Terms carefully. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

-
You are 18 years of age or older.

2.3 One Account per Person
Each individual may maintain only one FurReal account. We may suspend duplicate accounts.
3. Acceptable Use — Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content & Abusive Users
Zero Tolerance. FurReal has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. There is no place on FurReal for content that is illegal, sexually explicit, violent, hateful, harassing, or that depicts cruelty to animals, nor for users who harass, bully, threaten, or abuse others. You can report objectionable content or block abusive users at any time from within the app. We review reports and act within 24 hours — removing violating content and suspending or ejecting the responsible users.
Â

​
-
Harm or harass others. No threats, harassment, hate speech, doxxing, stalking, or content that promotes self-harm.
-
Sexually explicit, violent, or illegal content. No nudity, sexual content, gore, or content depicting illegal activity. No content that sexualizes minors.
-
Animal cruelty. No content depicting cruelty, neglect, or harm to animals. FurReal exists to celebrate pet companionship; content that violates this purpose is strictly prohibited.
-
Impersonation and misrepresentation. Do not impersonate another person, falsely claim affiliation with FurReal, or misrepresent the source of content.

Spam, scraping, and automation. No spam, mass unsolicited messaging, automated scraping, or bots, except as expressly permitted by us.

Reverse engineering. Do not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the App except where applicable law expressly permits.

Circumvent moderation or rate limits. Do not evade content moderation, account suspensions, or rate limits.

​
These rules are supplemented by our Community Guidelines, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. We may remove content, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts that violate these rules or the Community Guidelines. We may also report illegal activity to law enforcement.
4. User Content and Licenses
4.1 What "Your Content" Means
​
"Your Content" means any content you submit to the Service, including livestream video and audio, profile and pet photos, usernames, pet descriptions, chat messages, and reports.
Â
4.2 Ownership
​
You retain ownership of Your Content.
Â
4.3 License to FurReal
​
You grant FurReal a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, transmit, display, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as transcoding), and distribute Your Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. This license ends when you or we delete the content, except that:
-
We may retain backup copies for a reasonable period (see our Privacy Policy).
-
Aggregated, anonymized data derived from Your Content may be retained indefinitely.
-
Recipients of gifts you send retain a record of the transaction.
Â
4.4 License to Other Users
​
When you broadcast a livestream or post content visible to other users, you also grant other users the right to view, share within the Service, and (where applicable) record their own viewing experience as part of normal Service use.
Â
4.5 Feedback
​
If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant FurReal an unlimited, royalty-free license to use them without obligation.
Â
4.6 Content Moderation
​
We use automated content moderation (provided by Tencent Cloud) to detect prohibited content. We may also review content based on user reports or our own observations. We may remove content, mute or limit features, or suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion.
We are not obligated to monitor all content, and we are not responsible for content posted by users.
5. FurCoin and Treats
5.1 FurCoin and Treats
Â
"FurCoin" is the virtual currency used within the Service. "Treats" are virtual gift items (for example, pet-themed treats) that you can send to broadcasters during livestreams. You use FurCoin to send Treats. FurCoin is licensed to you, not sold, and represents a limited right to access features of the Service.
Â
5.2 No Cash Value
Â
FurCoin and Treats have no cash value, are not your property, and are not a bank deposit or stored-value instrument.
FurCoin is not transferable between accounts and cannot be exchanged for cash or other value outside the Service, except that eligible FurCoin may be redeemed for rewards as expressly described in Section 6.
Â
5.3 How You Obtain FurCoin
Â
We grant FurCoin for free. Your FurCoin balance may include:
-
 Promotional FurCoin (shown in the App as "Perk FurCoin"): FurCoin we grant for free, such as for signing up, daily check-ins, or referrals, subject to limits we set Promotional FurCoin expires 45 days after it is granted and is not redeemable for cash.
-
Earned FurCoin (shown in the App as your "Stream Earnings"): FurCoin a broadcaster receives when viewers send them Treats. Earned FurCoin does not expire on a rolling basis, but may be cleared when the launch-period program ends (see Section 5.4), and is subject to Section 6. When you send a Treat, we apply your Promotional (Perk) FurCoin first, so that your Earned FurCoin is used last. FurCoin we grant or that you earn is not refundable.
​
5.4 Changes and Launch-Period Program
Â
We may change FurCoin and Treats offers, exchange values, expiration rules, and availability at any time. The current FurCoin program is a launch-period program; when we move to a new coin system, the program will end, and we will give you at least two weeks' notice beforehand.
Â
5.5 Termination Effect
Â
If your account is terminated for violation of these Terms, you forfeit any unused FurCoin balance (including Promotional and Earned FurCoin) and any pending redemptions, to the extent permitted by law.
6. Earnings and Redemption
6.1 Eligibility
Â
If you accumulate FurCoin — including Earned FurCoin you receive as a broadcaster when viewers send you Treats — you may become eligible to redeem eligible FurCoin for rewards, such as electronic gift cards, subject to:
-
 Maintaining an account in good standing.
-
Reaching the redemption thresholds (tiers) we set.
-
Verifying your identity and tax information where required.
-
Complying with all applicable laws, including tax reporting.
Â
6.2 No Guarantee
Â
Redemption rewards are provided as electronic gift cards (or other non-cash rewards we may offer). Redemption is a discretionary benefit, offered subject to applicable law and void where prohibited. We do not guarantee that any FurCoin will become redeemable, that any particular reward will be available, or that exchange values or thresholds will remain unchanged. We may modify or discontinue the redemption program at any time.
Â
6.3 Redeemable Balance
Â
Redemption eligibility and deductions are based on your current redeemable FurCoin balance. When you spend FurCoin, Promotional (Perk) FurCoin is used before Earned FurCoin, and expired Promotional FurCoin is not redeemable. Lifetime statistics shown in the App (such as total Treats received) are for display only and do not by themselves determine redeemable value.
Â
6.4 Fulfillment
Â
Approved redemptions are fulfilled as electronic gift cards delivered by email to the address you provide with your request. You are responsible for providing a correct email address. We may set processing times and may require additional verification before fulfilling a redemption.
Â
6.5 Taxes
Â
You are responsible for any taxes owed on rewards you receive. We may withhold or report amounts as required by law.
Â
6.6 Suspicion of Fraud
Â
If we suspect fraud, abuse, money laundering, or violations of these Terms, we may freeze, withhold, reverse, or deny redemptions or FurCoin while we investigate.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 FurReal IP
Â
The Service, including the FurReal name, logo, app interface, design, code, and content we create, is owned by FurReal and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Â
These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
