universal1. Scope and service
These terms apply to the Universal Pets / UniversalPets.ai website, launch list, beta application, contact service, and early Studio preview. By using these services, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please do not use them.
Universal Pets is developing a service that turns pet photos into animated companions for supported AI environments. Descriptions of the product explain validated capabilities and future plans. Studio generation is an early testing preview. Paid plans and a marketplace are not offered on this website.
2. Eligibility and launch access
You must be at least 18 to submit a launch signup, beta application, or contact message. Provide accurate contact information that you are authorized to use. Joining the launch list is free, creates no purchase obligation, and does not guarantee an invitation, feature, launch date, or price. A beta application is a request to be considered and does not guarantee access or a date.
Studio and the optional pet library use a private account. Default desktop Trixie and compatible local imports do not require that account. Keep access to your sign-in account secure and connect only devices you control. Additional requirements may apply before a public release.
3. Acceptable use
Use the site lawfully and respectfully. Do not attempt unauthorized access, disrupt the service, submit malware or spam, harvest others’ information, impersonate another person, evade protections, or infringe someone’s rights. Do not send unlawful, exploitative, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, or otherwise abusive material through our forms.
Do not submit passwords, payment details, or private conversations. We may reject or remove abusive submissions and restrict access to protect the service and its users.
4. Submitted information and photo rights
You retain rights you already hold in information you submit. You give us permission to store and process form submissions as reasonably needed to respond, administer the launch list, review and administer beta applications, contact applicants about beta-related testing, and operate the service in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You represent that you are authorized to provide the information and that doing so does not violate law or third-party rights.
Studio requires permission to process photos before upload. Submit only photos you own or have permission to use, including rights relating to any people or other protected content shown. Gallery permission is a separate optional choice covering approved artwork, animations and the pet name; original photos remain private. Joining the launch list grants no photo or gallery permission.
5. Generated pets and likenesses
AI-generated results can vary and may not perfectly reproduce a pet’s appearance. Owner approval before full animation is part of the product design, not a guarantee of an exact likeness. AI output may be similar to output produced for others and may not qualify for exclusive copyright protection in every jurisdiction.
The product is designed around portable pet assets. Final rights to use, download, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit custom pets will be disclosed before a purchase or public generation service. No exclusive ownership or perpetual service-access promise is made by this marketing website.
6. Website intellectual property
Universal Pets branding, original website content, and approved mascot artwork are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and share links to this site for lawful personal purposes. You may not claim our artwork as your own or commercially redistribute it without permission or an applicable license.
Free companion availability and any license to use companion packages will be stated with the download. A planned free mascot is not automatically licensed for unrestricted commercial use.
7. Third-party platforms and independence
Universal Pets is independent and is not sponsored by or affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI, Microsoft, GitHub, or Cursor. Names including Codex, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Copilot describe compatibility or planned integration. Trademarks belong to their owners.
Third-party AI services, browsers, operating systems, and policies may change. An integration may become unavailable or behave differently. You must comply with each platform’s own terms. We do not control those platforms or promise uninterrupted compatibility.
8. Pocket for Android
Universal Pets — Coming Soon. Pocket will pair with your Windows computer over reachable shared Wi-Fi. The computer sends lifecycle metadata such as source, session state and attention, rather than prompts, transcripts, code, paths, tool output, replies or reasoning. The connection uses pinned HTTPS and authenticated messages. Pairing credentials are stored in the Android protected credential vault.
The pairing QR or link contains a credential; keep it private. Camera permission is used for QR scanning. Confirm the named computer before connecting. Replacing or removing a pairing invalidates the old connection. Phone notifications use fixed wording, with private task details hidden on the lock screen.
Screen-off monitoring is optional and needs notification and battery setup. While enabled, a persistent Watching your PC notification provides Open and Stop controls. Your PC must stay awake with Universal Pets running and reachable on the same Wi-Fi. Stop stops monitoring; if saving that choice fails, the app asks you to retry before closing. Force Stop and phone restart end background watching. Reopen Pocket and explicitly start watching again after a restart. Android power controls, network availability and Do Not Disturb affect notification delivery.
A readiness report can be created locally with build, readiness, control and last-contact information; it excludes event content and pairing credentials and is not automatically sent. Share it only if you choose. Local PC activity is not sent to Universal Pets servers. The browser Pocket demo uses built-in example activity and local play. Optional Studio and account library services are separate and described below.
9. Payments, refunds, and future marketplace
This website does not accept payments or offer a checkout. Pricing, taxes, subscriptions, cancellation, refunds, and any purchase conditions will be disclosed before sales open. Nothing here limits refund or consumer rights provided by applicable law.
Styles, accessories, animation packs, and a creator marketplace are possible future features. They would require additional terms covering transactions, creator rights, licensing, moderation, and disputes. No marketplace transaction is offered under these website terms.
10. Disclaimers and responsibility
To the extent allowed by applicable law, the website and its informational content are provided as available, without warranties that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. Illustrations demonstrate the intended experience; results and platform behavior can vary.
To the extent permitted by law, Universal Pets is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of this free informational website. These terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable mandatory consumer protections. No statement here limits rights that applicable law says you cannot waive.
11. Claims and disputes
You are responsible for unlawful or unauthorized use of the site and for information you submit. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify Universal Pets against third-party claims and reasonable costs directly resulting from your unlawful submissions, infringement of third-party rights, or intentional misuse of the service. This does not cover claims caused by our own unlawful conduct or override mandatory consumer protections.
If a problem arises, first contact us through Contact & Support so we can try to resolve it. These website terms do not select an exclusive court, require arbitration, or waive class proceedings. Applicable law determines jurisdiction and any non-waivable rights. Any future commercial terms will identify relevant business and dispute details before purchase.
12. Updates and contact
We may revise these terms as the website and product change. The effective date identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate. Future paid or account-based services may require separate acceptance of additional terms.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions apply to the extent permitted by law. Questions, rights requests, and concerns can be directed to Universal Pets / UniversalPets.ai through our contact form. See also our Privacy Policy.
