Terms of Service

Effective 1 August 2026 · Last updated 26 August 2026

Think of these Terms of Service ("Terms") as the agreement between you and Wanees (ونيس) ("Wanees", "we", "us"). They cover your use of the Wanees mobile app, website, and related services (the "Service"). Wanees is a bilingual (Arabic and English) pet‑care app made for pet owners across the Arab world and beyond. When you create an account or use the Service, you're agreeing to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If they're not for you, that's okay — please just don't use the Service.

🌐 We publish these Terms in English, and we may share an Arabic translation to make them easier to read. If the two ever disagree, the English version governs. في حال وجود أي تعارض، تسري النسخة الإنجليزية.

Not veterinary advice. Wanees offers general information and AI‑generated suggestions to help you look after your pet, and we love being part of your routine. Still, we're not a substitute for a real veterinarian. Please check with a licensed vet about your pet's health, and if it's ever an emergency, contact a vet or emergency animal hospital right away.

1. Who can use Wanees

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to enter a binding agreement. The Service is not intended for children.

2. The Service

Wanees is here to help you log care, record walks, set safe zones, connect a pet wearable, receive AI‑generated insights and tips, and spend time with a community of pet owners. As the app grows, we may add, change, or discontinue features over time. Some of them need permissions (such as location, camera, or health), a connected device, or a paid subscription.

3. Your account

4. Payments

Wanees is a paid subscription. Every account begins with a 7‑day free trial, during which you are charged nothing. When the trial ends, the plan you chose begins and your first payment is taken. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time from Profile → Subscription in the app.

Plan names, what each one includes, and current prices are shown on our pricing page and in the app before you confirm. Prices are in US dollars unless stated otherwise, and applicable tax is shown at checkout. If we change the price of a plan you already hold, we will tell you before the change takes effect and you can cancel rather than accept it.

Who bills you depends on where you buy. Anything bought inside the iOS app is sold through Apple's in‑app purchase — billed by, and managed through, the App Store, under Apple's terms. Subscriptions bought on our website are handled by Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd), which acts as the Merchant of Record: Paddle appears on your statement, issues your invoice, and collects any tax due. We never see or store your card details.

Cancelling stops the next payment but does not end your access immediately — you keep the plan until the end of the period you have already paid for, after which the account becomes read‑only. Cancelling never deletes your pets, walks, photos or records. When and how we refund is set out in full in our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you create (pet info, photos, posts, comments — "Your Content"). To operate the Service, you grant Wanees a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (e.g. resize/format), and display Your Content solely to provide and improve the Service and, for content you post to community areas, to show it to other users as you direct. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept briefly in backups, already shared with others, or retained as required by law. You are responsible for having the rights to Your Content and for ensuring it does not infringe anyone's rights.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service, or post content, that:

We may review, moderate, remove, hide, or restrict content and accounts, and report unlawful content to authorities. Content may be hidden pending review. Our automated moderation is a community‑safety tool only and is not a substitute for legal reporting obligations.

7. Community

Our community features are where owners share and connect. Anything posted by other users is theirs, not ours; we don't endorse it and aren't responsible for it. Please use your own judgment, especially with pet‑care tips from other owners, and tell us if you spot anything that breaks these Terms.

8. AI features

Some features use automated/AI systems (including third‑party AI providers) to generate output such as insights, chat answers, meal‑photo analysis, and reports. This output is generated automatically, may be incomplete or wrong, and is provided for general information only. It is not professional, veterinary, medical, or nutritional advice. You are responsible for evaluating it and for any decisions you make, and you should not rely on it for urgent or health‑critical decisions.

9. Location, tracking & safety features

Maps, walk recording, safe zones, geofence alerts, and pet tracking depend on your device, GPS, network, third‑party data, and any wearable, and may be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable. They are convenience features and must not be relied on as the sole means of keeping a pet or person safe. We do not guarantee their accuracy, timeliness, or availability.

10. Third‑party services & app stores

The Service integrates third parties (such as your app store, sign‑in, mapping, payment, and AI providers, and wearable platforms), whose own terms may apply. If you obtain the app through an app store, these Terms are between you and Wanees only — the app store is not responsible for the app. Where you obtain the app via the Apple App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third‑party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them, and you agree to comply with applicable usage rules and export laws.

11. Intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, brand, logos, and the content we provide (excluding Your Content) — is owned by Wanees or its licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non‑transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended personal purpose. All other rights are reserved.

12. Disclaimers

The Service and all content and AI output are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error‑free, or that AI output or location data will be accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wanees will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, or for any harm to a pet or person arising from reliance on the Service (including AI output and location features). Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 50. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your mandatory consumer rights.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, to prevent harm, or where required by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive (such as content licences, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) survive termination.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will provide notice in‑app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules and subject to any mandatory consumer‑protection rights of your country of residence. Disputes will be handled by the competent courts of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, except where mandatory local law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

17. Language

These Terms are written in English, which is the authoritative and governing version. We may make an Arabic translation available for your convenience; in the event of any discrepancy or conflict between the English text and any translation, the English text prevails.
