Effective Date: August 25, 2026 Last Updated: September 16, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Push Drop Stick mobile application (the "App"), the companion Apple Watch app, our website at pushdropstick.com including the signed-in web app (the "Website"), our AI features — the Coach and the Live Trainer (together, the "AI Features") — and our developer API and MCP endpoints (collectively, the "Services"), provided by Multipurpose Fun, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Push Drop Stick ("Push Drop Stick," "we," "us," or "our"). By tapping "Accept," creating an account, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you ("you" or "User") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
These Terms contain important provisions that affect your legal rights, including an assumption of risk (Section 14), a release of liability for negligence (Section 15), an indemnification obligation (Section 16), a license to your content, including for training our AI models (Section 18), a disclaimer of warranties (Section 29), and a limitation of liability (Section 30). Please read them carefully.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you confirm that you (a) are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher), (b) have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and (c) agree to comply with these Terms and all applicable laws. The Services are intended for use by adults only. If a minor participates in training using the Services, it must be under the direct supervision of an adult who has accepted these Terms and assumes responsibility for the minor's participation.
Push Drop Stick is a connected dog-training service. Depending on your subscription and device, the Services may include: a library of training plans and videos; a training player that records your sessions; a version-controlled editor for writing and sharing your own plans; a shared-pet feature that lets several people train the same dog; the Coach, a conversational AI feature that can see photos and video frames you share, keep notes about your pets, write plans, and search the web; the Live Trainer, a real-time voice AI that listens and watches through your phone while you train; an Apple Watch clicker; and a developer API and MCP server. Your data is stored on our servers and synced across your devices as described in our Privacy Policy.
You need an account to use most of the Services. You must provide an accurate email address that you control, and you are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including activity by anyone you invite to share a pet. Keep your login links, codes, passwords, and API keys confidential and tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access. You may not create an account for anyone else, share an account, or create more than one account to evade limits or a suspension. We may reclaim inactive or misleading public handles.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a compatible device you own or control and to access the Website and the AI Features, for your personal, non-commercial use in training dogs you are authorized to train (Section 13). Professional trainers may use the Services with client dogs, but may not resell, sublicense, or white-label the Services.
You may not:
The App is licensed, not sold, to you. Your use of the App is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"), available at:
By using the App, you acknowledge and agree to the Apple EULA in addition to these Terms. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, the Apple EULA controls solely with respect to the rights of Apple Inc. ("Apple") as a third-party beneficiary, including (without limitation) the following acknowledgements:
The Services provide educational content related to dog training, including videos, written guidance, interactive features, and AI-generated instruction. All of it is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for in-person evaluation, instruction, treatment, or care by a qualified professional, including a credentialed dog trainer or behavior consultant, a veterinarian, or a board-certified veterinary behaviorist.
We do not, through the Services, diagnose, prognose, treat, or cure any behavioral or medical condition of any dog. Statements within the Services — whether written by us, contributed by other users, or generated by an AI Feature — regarding behavior, anxiety, fear, reactivity, aggression, or any other behavioral or medical pattern are descriptive and educational only, and are not clinical diagnoses or treatment plans. If your dog exhibits behavior that concerns you, or any medical symptom, consult an appropriate credentialed professional in person.
The Coach and the Live Trainer generate their responses using machine-learning models, including models operated by third parties and models we train ourselves. You acknowledge and agree that:
8.1 Behavior that must be assessed in person first. Before you use any content from the Services with a dog that has shown any of the following, you agree to consult an in-person credentialed professional about that behavior, and thereafter to use the Services with that dog only in a manner consistent with that professional's advice:
An appropriate professional means one qualified to evaluate the behavior in person, such as a board-certified veterinary behaviorist (Dip ACVB), a veterinarian working with a qualified behavior consultant, a behavior consultant certified by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), or a trainer credentialed by the Pet Professional Guild (PPG), the Academy for Dog Trainers (CTC), or the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) with documented experience in the relevant behavior. The AI Features are not a substitute for that consultation. They may discuss such behavior as general education and are designed to direct you to in-person help, but nothing they say is an assessment of your dog.
8.2 Fear, anxiety, and reactivity. The Services include educational content on fear, anxiety, and reactivity, including desensitization and counter-conditioning. That content is written to be used below the intensity at which your dog becomes distressed, and only you can judge where that point is for your dog. Where you use it, you agree to:
Nothing in the Services diagnoses or treats an anxiety disorder, and no content in the Services is a substitute for veterinary assessment where medication may be appropriate.
8.3 Your representations. By using the Services you represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge:
8.4 Relationship to other Sections. Nothing in this Section limits Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, or 15. Where the stop conditions in Section 8.2 and Section 10 differ, Section 10 controls.
You represent that you have consulted, or will consult, a licensed veterinarian regarding any physical, medical, or developmental condition of your dog that could be affected by training activity, exercise, handling, treats, or equipment. You agree to discontinue any technique or activity immediately if your dog shows signs of physical pain, distress, lameness, respiratory difficulty, or any other indication that the activity is causing or may cause harm, and to consult a veterinarian before resuming. Treat and food suggestions in the Services are general; you are responsible for knowing your dog's allergies, dietary restrictions, and what is toxic to dogs.
You are solely responsible for observing your dog and your surroundings in real time at all times while applying any content from the Services, including while an AI Feature is active. No content in the Services is intended to be followed blindly or without continuous, informed judgment on your part.
You agree to stop any technique, exercise, or interaction immediately at the first sign of:
Even when an AI Feature has a camera or microphone available, it cannot see or hear most of what is happening, cannot judge your dog's body language reliably, and cannot act. You are the only person in a position to make safety judgments in the moment, and you agree to do so.
You agree that you will only practice techniques, exercises, or recommendations from the Services in environments and using equipment that are appropriate to your dog's behavior, training level, and the surrounding people and animals. You will not expose any third party — including other people, children, other dogs, or other animals — to foreseeable risk while applying content from the Services.
When training in public or shared spaces, you agree to use appropriate physical management (such as a securely fitted leash, long line, or muzzle as appropriate) and to maintain a safe distance from any person or animal who has not consented to interact with your dog. You are solely responsible for the conduct of your dog in any such environment.
Any equipment depicted, mentioned, or recommended in the Services — including but not limited to flat collars, harnesses, head halters, long lines, leashes, muzzles, treat pouches, and clickers — must be selected, fitted, introduced, and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and, where appropriate, with in-person professional guidance. We are not responsible for injury, damage, or other harm resulting from improper selection, fit, introduction, or use of any equipment.
We do not recommend, endorse, or instruct in the use of aversive equipment, including prong collars, choke chains, slip leads used as correction tools, or electronic collars (commonly known as "e-collars" or "shock collars"). If you choose to use any such equipment with your dog, you do so entirely at your own risk and against our recommendation, and you assume full responsibility for any resulting physical, behavioral, or other harm to your dog, yourself, or any third party. Nothing in the Services — including anything an AI Feature says in response to a question about such equipment — should be construed as guidance on its use.
You represent and warrant that, for each dog with which you apply content from the Services, you are either (a) the legal owner of the dog or (b) have the express permission of the legal owner to train the dog and to accept these Terms with respect to that dog. If you are training a dog you do not own (including a fostered, boarded, borrowed, or client dog), you are responsible for ensuring that the owner has been informed of and has accepted, on the dog's behalf, the disclaimers, releases, and indemnities in these Terms. If you invite others to share a pet, you represent that you are authorized to give them access to that dog's data and to let them train the dog.
You acknowledge that working with dogs carries inherent risks, and that those risks are heightened when training is conducted without in-person professional evaluation or supervision. The Services deliver educational content remotely — some of it asynchronously, and some of it in real time through AI Features that perceive only fragments of your situation through a phone camera and microphone. We cannot see or hear your dog, your environment, your handling, or the real-time response of your dog to any technique in any reliable way, and we cannot intervene if a situation becomes unsafe. The suitability of any technique for your specific dog depends on factors — temperament, history, age, health, environment, and your own handling skill — that the Services cannot assess.
Dogs are unpredictable animals with their own will and drives, and regardless of training, handling, or environmental circumstance, no training method or content provided through the Services can protect against every potential injury, risk, or accident to you, to other people, or to dogs. These risks may include dog bites, dog attacks, and the responsive actions and complications arising from them. You voluntarily assume all such risks associated with applying, attempting, or following any content, technique, or recommendation made available through the Services, whether authored by us, by another user, or by an AI Feature.
In consideration for being permitted to use the Services and their content, you, for yourself and your heirs, next of kin, executors, and personal representatives (collectively, "Releasors"), waive, release, discharge, and covenant not to sue Multipurpose Fun, Inc., Push Drop Stick, Allison Wells, and our directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents, sponsors, contractors, volunteers, licensors, and other representatives, and their successors and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), from any and all liability for any loss, harm, damage, claim, injury (including death), or accident to the person or property of you, your dog, or any other person or animal in your care, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or any content, technique, or recommendation made available through them — including content generated by an AI Feature — even if caused by the negligent act or omission of any Releasee. Nothing in this section is intended to release Releasees from harm, injury, claim, or damage caused by their intentional, wanton, reckless, or grossly negligent misconduct.
You agree that you are and will be responsible for your own conduct, the conduct of your dog, and the conduct of any other person or animal in your care, at all times. You agree to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to us), and hold harmless Multipurpose Fun, Inc., Push Drop Stick, Allison Wells, and our directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents, sponsors, contractors, volunteers, and other representatives from any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), or damages to persons, dogs, or property caused by your acts or omissions, the acts or omissions of your dog, the acts or omissions of any other person or animal in your care, your Content (Section 18), or your breach of these Terms, including in connection with your use of the Services or your application of any content, technique, or recommendation made available through them. This provision applies whether the claims are brought by you, members of your family, your guests, our personnel, or third parties. This indemnification does not extend to claims to the extent caused by our own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
You recognize that the role you play in your dog's learning process is integral to achieving any desired result. You acknowledge and agree that there is no guarantee that your dog will achieve any particular level of training, behavior change, or other outcome, despite the Services' best efforts and content. The recommendation within the Services of any other product or service is not a guarantee of satisfaction with that product or service.
"Content" means everything you create, upload, record, or transmit through the Services: pet profiles and photos, training plans and their edit history, session recordings and statistics, goals, cues, treats, notes, messages to and conversations with the AI Features, camera frames and video frames, demo clips, voice audio and its transcripts, comments, and your public handle and profile.
You own your Content. As between you and us, you retain all rights in your Content.
License to us. So that we can operate the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, transcode, analyze, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise use your Content (a) to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Services; (b) to display it to you, to people who share your pets, and — for Content you make public — to the public; (c) to evaluate, train, fine-tune, and improve machine-learning models we own or control, and to use, distribute, and license the resulting models in the Services and in other products; and (d) to create aggregated or de-identified data. This license survives deletion of your Content or account to the extent your Content has already been incorporated into a trained model, a de-identified dataset, or another user's fork, and to the extent we are required to retain it by law. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle your Content and how you can object to model training where the law gives you that right.
License to other users. For each plan you make public, you grant every user of the Services a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to view, copy ("fork"), adapt, and use that plan and its demo clips for training their own dogs within the Services, and to make their forks public in turn with attribution to your handle. Content you share with co-trainers of a pet may be viewed and used by them for training that pet. You cannot revoke these licenses for copies made before you change a plan to private or delete it.
Your responsibilities and representations. You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to grant these licenses; that your Content does not infringe or misappropriate anyone's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; that any person who appears in, or whose voice is captured in, your frames, clips, or Live Trainer audio has consented to that capture where consent is required; and that your Content complies with Section 20. You are solely responsible for your Content, and we are not responsible for Content contributed by other users or generated by an AI Feature at your direction.
AI-generated content. To the extent an AI Feature generates a plan, note, or other output at your request, we assign to you whatever rights we hold in that output, subject to the licenses above and to the understanding that similar or identical output may be generated for other users.
Removal. We may remove, hide, quarantine, or refuse to display any Content that we believe violates these Terms, is unsafe, is low quality, or creates liability for us, without notice. We are not obligated to store or return your Content after your account is closed.
Plans you write are private to you and to co-trainers of the relevant pet until you claim a public handle, after which plans default to public unless you set them to private. Public plans are shown on your profile, are searchable, are exposed to search engines and AI assistants through our public catalog and public MCP endpoint, and may be forked by anyone. A fork is a copy owned by the forking user; changes to your original do not propagate to forks and vice versa. Attribution shows the handle of the plan's author and, for forks, the handle of the original author.
We may feature, promote into the shared library, edit for clarity and safety, or decline to surface any plan. We may also quarantine plans authored through the developer MCP server, or plans containing user-filmed media, until a human has reviewed them. Plans that recommend aversive equipment or methods (Section 12), or that are unsafe for dogs or people, may be hidden or removed.
You agree not to:
Except for your Content and other users' Content, all content and materials in the Services — including the training library we author, videos, text, graphics, logos, icons, audio, images, software, prompts, models, and the selection and arrangement of the foregoing — are owned by or licensed to Multipurpose Fun, Inc. / Push Drop Stick and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited licenses granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you in or to the Services. Plans in our shared library are licensed to you for personal use within the Services and may not be republished outside them without our written permission.
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us the right to use them without restriction or compensation.
If you believe Content in the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to the contact in Section 38 that includes: identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it is located in the Services; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove the material, notify the user who posted it, and terminate repeat infringers.
Where you pay. Subscriptions and purchases are made on our Website and processed by our payment processor, Stripe, Inc., under Stripe's terms and privacy policy. We do not collect or store your card details. Charges will appear on your statement under the name shown at checkout. If we ever offer purchases through the Apple App Store, those purchases will instead be governed by the App Store's terms, billing, and refund policies.
Energy. Use of the AI Features draws down a balance of "energy" (a prepaid usage allowance), which is refilled by your subscription tier on each billing cycle and can be topped up with one-time "boost" purchases. Energy is a measure of usage entitlement, not money: it has no cash value, is not transferable, cannot be redeemed for cash, and may expire, be capped, or be recalculated when your subscription changes or ends. How much energy a given interaction consumes depends on the model used and the size of the request and may change over time. Promotional or free energy (including any starter grant made when you add a payment card) may be conditioned, limited, or withdrawn at our discretion.
Tiers and features. The features available to you — including which AI Feature you can talk to — depend on your tier and on whether your account has ever received paid or gifted energy. We may change tier names, prices, allowances, and included features for future billing periods with notice as required by law.
Auto-renewal. Unless you cancel, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, charged to your payment method on file, until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from the billing page on the Website; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep your tier and energy through that date. Cancelling does not entitle you to a prorated refund of the current period except as required by law.
Upgrades and downgrades. Upgrades take effect immediately and are charged at the time of change; downgrades take effect at the end of the current period unless otherwise stated at checkout.
Refunds. Subscription fees and boost purchases are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or where we choose, in our sole discretion, to issue one. Unused energy is not refunded.
Taxes. Prices may exclude applicable taxes, which will be shown at checkout where we are required to collect them. You are responsible for any taxes we do not collect.
Groups. If you are part of a shared-billing group, the group's subscription determines the tier for its members, and the group owner is responsible for payment.
Failed payments. If a payment fails we may suspend paid features until it succeeds.
The Services rely on, incorporate, or link to third-party services — including Apple, Stripe, Anthropic, xAI, RunPod, and the other providers listed in our Privacy Policy — and may link to third-party websites or content (collectively, "Third-Party Services"). We do not control and are not responsible for Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, availability, or terms. Your use of any Third-Party Service is at your own risk and may be subject to that third party's own terms and privacy practices. Web pages the Coach reads on your behalf are not endorsed by us.
Our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of information in connection with the Services is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By accepting these Terms you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Privacy Policy and you agree to the data practices it describes — including that your Content is stored on our servers, is sent to the AI model providers named there, and is used to train and improve our models as set out in Section 18.
We may release updates, add or remove features, change the models and providers behind the AI Features, or modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any part of them at any time, with or without notice. Some features may be labeled beta, preview, or experimental; they may be unreliable and may be withdrawn. The Services depend on network connectivity and third-party infrastructure, and we do not promise uninterrupted availability. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, discontinuation, or unavailability of the Services.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Non-material changes (such as clarifications, typographical corrections, or contact-information updates) will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date above. For material changes — changes that meaningfully reduce your rights or expand your obligations — we will provide more prominent notice, typically through an in-app or on-site message that you must acknowledge before continued use. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms remain in effect until terminated by you or by us. You may terminate at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or terminate your access, or remove Content, at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us, or abused the AI Features, or if we discontinue the Services. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends, you must stop using the App and delete all copies, and Sections 6–18, 21, 25, and 29–37 (and any other provisions that by their nature should survive) will survive.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES, ALL CONTENT, AND ALL OUTPUT OF THE AI FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, SAFE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR DOG; THAT CONTENT WILL BE PRESERVED; OR THAT DATA TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL NOT BE LOST OR INTERCEPTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO PORTIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MULTIPURPOSE FUN, INC., PUSH DROP STICK, ALLISON WELLS, OR ANY OF OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, CONTENT, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR ANY AI OUTPUT, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO PORTIONS OF THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or to the Services, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States. Subject to Section 32, you agree that any such claim must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts; except that we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect our intellectual property or the security of the Services in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose laws give you a non-waivable right to bring claims in your local courts or under your local law, nothing in this section takes that right away. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Before filing any claim against us, you agree to first contact us in writing at the email address listed in Section 38 and describe the claim, the relief you are seeking, and the facts on which the claim is based. You agree to allow us thirty (30) days from the date we receive your notice to investigate and attempt to resolve the matter informally. You agree not to file any claim or lawsuit until that 30-day period has expired.
We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government action, epidemic or pandemic, internet or telecommunications outages, failures or changes of third-party service providers (including Apple, Stripe, hosting providers, and AI model providers), or any other event that could not have been prevented through reasonable diligence.
We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, including to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, without your consent and without notice. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so without consent is void.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. You agree that your electronic acceptance of these Terms (including by tapping "Accept" or by continued use of the Services) has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature.
You expressly agree that the assumption of risk, release, waiver, indemnity, disclaimer, and limitation of liability provisions in these Terms are intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by applicable law. If any portion is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable portion will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable while preserving the parties' intent.
These Terms (together with the Apple EULA, our Privacy Policy, and any other policies we publish in the Services) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
If you have questions about these Terms, or need to send any notice required under these Terms (including under Sections 22 and 32), contact:
