Effective date: 2026-07-20
Welcome to Ugliest Dog: Rate & Vote ("Ugliest Dog", "the app", "we"). By using the app you agree to these terms. They exist for one reason: to keep this a warm, funny place where gloriously ugly dogs get the adoration they deserve — in the proud spirit of the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, where "ugly" is the highest compliment.
The crown means something. Don't manipulate voting — no bots, scripts, vote rings, multiple devices to inflate a dog's score, or any other scheme to game the leaderboard. We may discard suspicious votes and restrict access for manipulation.
We may remove any content, or restrict or terminate access to the app, at our discretion and without prior notice, if we believe these terms have been violated — including content reported by the community and confirmed to break the house rules. We aim to be fair and to err on the side of keeping the app kind.
You keep ownership of the photos you upload. By uploading, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and reproduce your photos and dog names within the app and its services (for example: showing them to other users, leaderboards, and moderation). This license ends when your content is deleted from the service, except where limited retention is required for legal or moderation purposes. You can request deletion any time — see our Privacy Policy.
If you see something that breaks the rules, report it in-app — reports are reviewed and violating content is removed. You can also hide any photo locally so you never see it again.
The app uses anonymous authentication — no account, name, or email. Your uploads and votes are tied to a random anonymous ID. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Ugliest Dog is not directed at children under 13. By using the app, you confirm you are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher).
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, availability, or that leaderboards, votes, or content will be error-free or uninterrupted. Crowns are for glory, not guarantees. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid to use it (which is currently: nothing). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
We may update, change, or discontinue features (or the app) at any time. If these terms change materially, we'll update the effective date above and flag it in the app. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, and where applicable, mandatory consumer-protection rules of the EU member state where you live. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the Swedish courts, without limiting any rights you have to bring claims in your home country under EU law.
