Accounts identified as engaging in severe or repeated misconduct may face permanent prohibition from accessing the pawsnclaws.org platform.

We rely on the vigilance of our community members to help us maintain a safe and reliable environment. If you suspect any manipulation of content, fraudulent activity, or violations of these standards or our Terms of Service, we strongly encourage and urge you to report the matter to us promptly. We are committed to taking all concerns seriously and will conduct thorough and impartial investigations into all reported issues to ensure appropriate action is taken.

These guidelines are applicable to all forms of content submitted to pawsnclaws.org, without exception. This includes all text, images, videos, and external links shared on the platform, as well as all forms of interaction and communication between fellow community members.

Guidelines for Testimonials

Testimonials are a vital feature on pawsnclaws.org, providing valuable insights for prospective buyers. To ensure the authenticity and relevance of these testimonials, specific eligibility criteria and guidelines are in place:

Testimonial Eligibility:
To be eligible to submit a testimonial for a seller on pawsnclaws.org, you must have successfully completed the purchase of a dog that was actively listed in an advertisement on the pawsnclaws.org platform. This eligibility extends to confirmed payments made for deposits or any other fees directly associated with the purchase of the dog. Testimonials may be submitted for a period of up to two years following the confirmed date of purchase.

Additional Guidelines for Testimonials:
In addition to the general community standards, please adhere to the following specific guidelines when submitting testimonials to ensure fairness and accuracy:

If a testimonial you submit is removed or rejected by our moderation team due to non-compliance with our standards, you will generally be permitted to revise and resubmit the testimonial once after making the necessary corrections or clarifications. Following a second rejection of the same testimonial, further submissions for that specific purchase will typically not be permitted.
Sellers who choose to exercise their right to respond to testimonials provided by buyers are also required to adhere strictly to these Community Standards in their responses. Responses should be professional, respectful, and factual.
Only individuals who have demonstrably completed a purchase of a dog through the pawsnclaws.org platform are eligible to provide testimonials. This ensures that feedback is based on a direct transaction experience.
Each completed purchase is limited to the submission of a single, unique testimonial. The submission of duplicate testimonials for the same purchase is strictly prohibited.
pawsnclaws.org reserves the exclusive right, at its sole discretion, to determine whether any submitted content, including testimonials, is in violation of these Community Standards or the Terms of Service.
We may, at our discretion, implement temporary or permanent restrictions on testimonial submissions if we detect unusual activity, patterns indicative of manipulation, or as deemed necessary to maintain the integrity and ensure an optimal user experience for all members of the community.

Contributing Helpful and Relevant Content

The pawsnclaws.org community is intended to be a valuable resource for individuals seeking to find a puppy responsibly. Therefore, all content submitted should aim to be informative, relevant, and contribute positively to assisting other users in their search or decision-making process. Submitted content is expected to be factual, based on your genuine and verifiable personal experiences and observations, rather than relying on speculation, hearsay, or unfounded opinions.
