Terms & Conditions
Effective: 1 Jan 2025 Last updated: 1 May 2025 English translation
These terms bind you when you sign up for or use anihoue. Please read carefully. If you do not accept any part, do not use the platform.
Key summary

Before reading the full version, here is what you should know:

  • For adoption only — no buying, selling, or trading animals
  • One phone number = one account
  • Individuals may adopt up to 3 pets per calendar year, with a 30-day wait between adoptions
  • Personal data is stored and encrypted per our privacy policy
1. Scope of service

anihoue (the "Platform") is operated to:

  • Connect people who want to adopt with pet owners or animal welfare organizations
  • Facilitate adoption applications and adopter screening
  • Display pet listings on a map for easier discovery
Strictly prohibited: Using the platform to buy, sell, trade, or commercially exchange animals. Violations may constitute offences under Thailand's Animal Welfare Act B.E. 2557 (2014).
2. Accounts & verification
2.1 Registration
  • You must be at least 18 years old
  • All information provided must be accurate and truthful
  • One phone number = one user account for the lifetime of the account
  • Registration with false information automatically voids your right to use the service
2.2 Account responsibility
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account
  • Do not share login credentials with others
  • If you notice unauthorized access, notify us immediately at hello@anihoue.app
2.3 Identity verification (for adoption)

Before submitting an adoption request, the system checks basics such as:

  • A signed-in email account (additional email verification may come in a later phase)
  • Complete profile and application form fields
  • Annual quota and cooldown rules in section 3
3. Adoption limits
These limits are designed to prevent fraud involving mass adoptions — not to discourage genuine adopters.
  • Annual quota: Individuals may adopt up to 3 pets per calendar year (1 Jan – 31 Dec), counted from the approval date of each successful request
  • 30-day cooldown: After a successful adoption approval, you must wait 30 days before submitting another request
  • Shelter discretion: Even if you pass automated checks, shelters may reject any application
  • Post-adoption follow-up: Automatic check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days after adoption; two missed responses in a row may flag your account
4. Prohibited content

Posting the following may result in removal and permanent account suspension:

  • False information or images of animals that are not real
  • Content intended to mislead or deceive
  • Sale prices, exchange values, or monetary terms for animals
  • Another person's personal data without consent
  • Content promoting animal cruelty
  • Advertising or spam unrelated to pet adoption
5. Organizations & shelters
5.1 Application process
  • Provide accurate organization details with supporting documents (certificate of incorporation or shelter license)
  • The anihoue team reviews documents within 1–3 business days
  • While pending, the account cannot post listings
5.2 Plans & payment
  • Free plan: 3 active posts at no charge
  • Basic (฿199/month or ~฿159/month yearly): 20 active posts + badge + boost
  • Pro (฿499/month or ~฿399/month yearly): 100 active posts + push notifications + analytics
  • Pay via PromptPay, credit card, or bank transfer
  • Cancel anytime — no long-term contract
5.3 Trials & billing

When subscribing to Basic or Pro you may receive a free trial per the terms shown at signup. If a payment method is on file, billing starts automatically after the trial unless you cancel at least one day before the next billing cycle.

Cancellation takes effect from the next cycle. No refunds for billing periods already started, except where required by law.

6. Screening & safety

anihoue combines automated platform rules with poster/shelter discretion:

  1. Email sign-in — one account per email
  2. 3 adoptions / calendar year — counted from successful approval dates (1 Jan – 31 Dec)
  3. 30-day cooldown — after one approval before the next request
  4. Application readiness score — incomplete forms may be blocked or rejected
  5. Report history — repeated reports may flag or suspend accounts
  6. Post-adoption check-ins — at 30 / 60 / 90 days; two missed responses may flag the account
  7. Poster/shelter discretion — may reject any application
These measures reduce risk but cannot guarantee 100% safety. We encourage all parties to use judgment when meeting and handing over pets.
