This Agreement (the terms and condition/ Agreement) explains the terms by which you may use our www.poocho.co website, the Poocho mobile application (whether Android or iOS version) (the “App”) and any other website, widget, mobile application, or other related services (collectively with the App as the “Platform”).
By accessing or using the Platform, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement includes and hereby incorporates by reference the agreements and policies referenced not only in this Agreement, but also our Privacy Policy. This Agreement may be updated from time to time in our sole discretion with the updates being effective when posted on the Platform or when we otherwise notify you of such updates. We may make such revisions without prior notice to you, so please check back often for updates and prior to entering into any Study as a research participant ("Pal") or Researcher as the case may be.
This Agreement is effective as of April 18, 2022. Your continued use of the Platform as a Pal or Researcher after such time signifies your acceptance of this Agreement. Now, please read the document carefully.
Purpose -
We use your information for research and marketing purposes. You can always choose to remove your basic profile information, and opt-out of marketing, or close your account. We shall help you if required.
In addition to these terms you shall be governed by the scope of work (“SOW”) signed between Poocho and the Researcher separately. The reference to Researcher as mentioned in the SOW is “Client”. If you are a Researcher the following clauses will apply to you: Clause 1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 14, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. In instances where the following clauses apply to Researcher, the reference shall be amended as the case maybe.
The requirements to participate in a study as a Pal are-
You must be 16 (in Europe) or 13 (everywhere else) to open an account. If you’re under 18, we would require your parent or guardian permission. If you are still a minor in your jurisdiction of residence, you must have your parent or legal guardian read this Agreement and permit you to participate in Poocho research. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that you meet the requirements outlined in this section.
When you apply for or participate in a paid research Study, you are selling that information to us (and our customers). You give up all rights to that information and you cannot claim or uphold any of the rights pertaining to that information. If you are participating in an unpaid research Study, you may ask us to erase your data at any time. For avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the insights provided by the Pal for the purpose of the Study shall be available for Poocho to further share it with Researchers and or third-parties in its sole discretion while ensuring anonymity. Unless otherwise specifically consented by you to use the information in non-anonymous form, Poocho shall keep the information anonymous as mentioned herein. We reserve the right to create and use anonymous information, as derived from the insights so provided that cannot reasonably identify you, or as otherwise defined by applicable law.

What is Poocho? Poocho (“Poocho, we, us, Company”) is an online venue where Poocho and other companies or groups (together or individually referred to as “Researchers” on case to case basis) post opportunities for consumers (“Pals”) to participate in online and mobile application-based research projects and surveys (“Studies”). A Researcher shares a Study on the Platform or through a third-party application, with his/her own network of potential Pals. Some Studies will be paid Studies and have their own payment terms, if applicable. Pals are paid only upon completion of the Study to the specifications provided by the Researcher. By becoming a Pal, you agree to (a) abide by this Agreement and the processes, procedures, and guidelines described throughout the Platform; (b) be responsible for the accuracy, and legality of the information you provide; and (c) perform your obligations as specified by any Study that you accept, unless such obligations are prohibited by law or by this Agreement. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to refuse, suspend, or terminate access to the Studies and/or Platform to anyone for any reason or no reason, including breach of this Agreement. Any rights not expressly granted to you are herein reserved by Poocho.
