Terms of Service

Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to Hatch Pet, an informational website about Codex pet workflow companions, animated status states, and companion concept cards. By accessing hatch-pet.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Current Website Scope

Hatch Pet currently provides educational content, bilingual landing pages, original placeholder pet images, a Codex pet gallery, and links to relevant reference material. The website is independent and is not an official Codex product, official OpenAI product, or official Petdex product.

The current public version does not provide account registration, payment processing, AI generation, Codex account integration, downloadable pet runtimes, or guaranteed platform support. Any future feature that changes this scope will be described separately when it becomes available.

Permitted Use

You may browse Hatch Pet, share links to public pages, use the pet cards as inspiration for your own original creative briefs, and reference the /pet guide for general informational purposes. You agree to use the website in compliance with applicable laws and these terms.

Content and Intellectual Property

Hatch Pet owns or controls the original website copy, branding, page structure, generated placeholder pet art, and other original materials unless otherwise stated. Third-party links, names, trademarks, community discussions, and referenced products remain the property of their respective owners.

You may not copy, resell, scrape at scale, redistribute, or repackage Hatch Pet content in a way that suggests ownership, endorsement, affiliation, or official status without permission. If you create a pet inspired by a Hatch Pet card, it must use original artwork and must not copy third-party protected material.

• Copy third-party artwork, screenshots, logos, trademarks, or protected pet designs without proper rights.
• Attempt to access non-public systems, APIs, admin areas, or configuration data.
• Use automated requests in a way that degrades service quality or bypasses reasonable access controls.

No Professional Advice
