Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Puggle.chat. By accessing or using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use Puggle.chat.

1. Eligibility (18+ Only)

Puggle.chat is strictly intended for users who are at least 18 years old.

By using the service, you confirm that you are 18 or older. If we have reasonable grounds to believe that a user is under 18, we may restrict or terminate their access to the service.

2. Legal Use Only

You may use Puggle.chat only for activities that are lawful under all applicable laws and regulations.

Any illegal activity, content, or behavior is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, criminal activity, illegal sexual content, credible threats, exploitation, fraud, and unlawful harassment.

3. User-Generated Content

Puggle.chat is a user-generated communication platform. Content sent through the service is created by users and does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of Puggle.chat or its operators.

You are responsible for the content you submit and for ensuring that your use of the service complies with these Terms and applicable law.

You must not use Puggle.chat to distribute content that is illegal, infringes the rights of others, or violates our Chat Rules.

4. User Safety & Interactions

Puggle.chat allows users to communicate anonymously. You are responsible for exercising reasonable judgment when interacting with other users.

Do not share passwords, financial information, addresses, private contact information, or other sensitive personal information with other users.

Puggle.chat cannot verify the identity, intentions, age, or statements of other users. You should therefore treat information provided by other users with appropriate caution.

5. Moderation & Enforcement

Puggle.chat may monitor and moderate activity on the platform to protect users, maintain platform integrity, prevent abuse, and comply with applicable law.

We may remove content, restrict access, suspend accounts or anonymous identities, or ban users when we reasonably believe that activity violates these Terms, our Chat Rules, applicable law, or poses a risk to users or the platform.

Depending on the circumstances, moderation actions may be taken with or without prior notice.

6. Reports & Moderation Records

Users may report suspected violations of our Terms or Chat Rules. When a report is submitted, Puggle.chat may retain a limited portion of the recent conversation and related metadata for the purpose of investigating and resolving the report.

Such information may include messages from multiple participants, anonymous identifiers, timestamps, and other information relevant to the reported incident.

Information retained through the reporting system is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

7. Persistent Rooms

Certain rooms may be designated as persistent rooms. Messages sent in these rooms may be stored on our servers so that their history remains available after users disconnect.

Persistent rooms may be used for official, community, moderator, VIP, or other designated purposes. The rules and access requirements for a persistent room may vary depending on its purpose.

Persistent rooms should not be considered private from Puggle moderators. Authorized moderators may access persistent rooms and their stored message history for moderation, safety, security, or legal purposes.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You may not use Puggle.chat to:

  • Engage in illegal activities of any kind
  • Distribute illegal or exploitative content
  • Threaten, harass, stalk, or abuse other users
  • Impersonate another person or organization
  • Commit fraud, scams, or other deceptive activities
  • Spam, flood, or intentionally disrupt the service
  • Use automation or bots without authorization
  • Attempt to bypass bans, restrictions, or security controls
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or its systems
  • Abuse bugs, vulnerabilities, or unintended functionality
  • Use the service to facilitate criminal activity
  • Violate the Puggle Chat Rules

VPNs, proxies, or other network configurations may be restricted when necessary to prevent abuse or protect the service.

9. Service Availability

Puggle.chat is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

We may temporarily or permanently modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the service without guaranteeing continued availability of any particular feature.

10. Disclaimer of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Puggle.chat and its operators are not responsible for:

  • Interactions between users
  • User-generated content
  • Actions or conduct of other users
  • Loss of messages or other user-generated data
  • Temporary or permanent service interruptions
  • Unauthorized conduct by third parties
  • Damages resulting from misuse of the service

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

11. Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to Puggle.chat when we reasonably believe that a user has violated these Terms, our Chat Rules, applicable law, or otherwise poses a risk to the service or other users.

We may also restrict access to the service for security, abuse prevention, operational, or legal reasons.

Termination or suspension does not necessarily result in the deletion of information that we are required or permitted to retain under our Privacy Policy or applicable law.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When material changes are made, we may update the date of the Terms and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.

Continued use of Puggle.chat after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Governing Principles

These Terms are intended to establish the rules governing the use of Puggle.chat, protect users and the platform from abuse, and allow lawful communication and free expression.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights or protections that cannot legally be waived under applicable law.

By using Puggle.chat, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Service.
