Terms of Use

Animal World is a free animal encyclopedia website and app for browsing animal profiles, species facts, animal-of-the-day content, and other public educational pages.

The site is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Animal World is not a substitute for professional veterinary, scientific, safety, conservation, legal, or medical advice.

You can use most public Animal World content without creating an account. If you choose to create an account, it is optional and free.

You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate, protecting your password, and using your account only in lawful and respectful ways.

Please use Animal World in a way that supports learning and discovery. Do not attempt to interfere with the site, bypass security, access accounts or systems without permission, submit harmful code, or use the service for unlawful activity.

You also may not copy, scrape, harvest, mirror, or bulk download Animal World content in a way that is abusive, automated at unreasonable volume, harmful to site availability, or intended to recreate a competing database without permission.

Animal World may include original writing, curated animal facts, images, third-party references, and public information. We aim to keep content useful and accurate, but animal taxonomy, conservation status, and scientific understanding can change over time.

You may read and share public Animal World pages for personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes, as long as you do not remove attribution, misuse the content, or violate rights belonging to Animal World or third parties.

Animal World may offer optional donations to help keep the encyclopedia free. Donations do not unlock paid features, memberships, rewards, or guaranteed benefits.

Donation payments are voluntary and are non-refundable unless a refund is required by applicable law or Animal World chooses to make an exception in a specific case.

Animal World is provided as is and as available. We do not promise that the site will always be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Animal World disclaims implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Animal World and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits, goodwill, or service availability related to your use of the site.

Some places do not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

We may update these terms when Animal World changes or when legal, operational, or safety needs require it. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last-updated date.

If you continue using Animal World after changes take effect, you accept the updated terms for future use of the site.
