By using our site or buying a film from us, you agree to these terms. We've tried to write them in plain English. The short version: we'll create a beautiful tribute for you and stand behind it; you'll provide accurate information and photos you have the right to use; if something goes wrong, we'll work it out fairly.
1. Who we are
PawsTribute is a brand operated by Paws Tribute LLC, a limited liability company registered in [STATE]. Our principal place of business is [BUSINESS ADDRESS]. Throughout these Terms, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Paws Tribute LLC. "You" and "your" refer to anyone using our website or purchasing our services.
PawsTribute is operated by Paws Tribute LLC.
2. What we provide
PawsTribute creates custom memorial films for deceased pets. You provide photos and a few details about your pet; our team creates a personalized cinematic tribute, which we deliver as a downloadable video file within the timeframe of your selected package.
Our services include three packages (Memento, Tribute, Signature) and optional add-ons (tribute letter, social reel, rush delivery), as described on our pricing page.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to place an order.
4. Your account and order information
When you place an order, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, including:
- Your full name and a valid email address
- Accurate payment information
- Photos you have the legal right to use (see Section 5)
- Any details about your pet that you wish to include
You're responsible for keeping your contact information current so we can deliver your film.
5. Your photos and intellectual property
Your rights to the photos you submit
By uploading photos to us, you confirm that you own the rights to those photos or have permission to use them. Specifically, you confirm that:
- You took the photos yourself, or have permission from the photographer
- The photos do not contain copyrighted material owned by third parties
- You have the right to share these photos with us for the purpose of creating your film
If a third party makes a claim against us regarding your photos, you agree to defend and indemnify us.
License you grant us
By uploading photos, you grant us a limited license to use, modify, restore, enhance, and incorporate those photos into the film we create for you. This license exists solely for the purpose of fulfilling your order. We do not use your photos for any other purpose, including marketing or training data.
Your rights to the finished film
Once we deliver your film and payment is complete, you receive personal-use rights to the film. You may:
- Watch, download, and store it for personal use
- Share it with family and friends
- Post it to your personal social media accounts
- Use it in a private memorial service
You may not:
- Resell the film or claim authorship of it
- Use the film in any commercial product or paid promotion
- Modify the film and present the modified version as our work
We retain ownership of our underlying creative process, music, animation techniques, and proprietary methods. We may showcase finished films as portfolio examples, with your name and identifying information removed, unless you specifically request that we don't.
Don't want your film used as a portfolio example? Just email us at contact@pawstribute.com and we'll honor your request.
6. Pricing and payment

Delivery times are best efforts. In rare cases, delivery may be slightly delayed due to high volume, technical issues, or unusual photo requirements. Significant delays are eligible for the satisfaction guarantee.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to use our services for any unlawful or harmful purpose. You agree not to:
- Submit photos depicting graphic violence, abuse, or content involving minors in inappropriate contexts
- Submit content designed to harass, defame, or harm others

10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Paws Tribute LLC's total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us for the order in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
