Amongst other standard sign-up information, the registration form requires You to provide your email address and password. This is so that Petfetch can notify you in the event that your pets are found. Your pet tag must be registered to activate the Petfetch loss retrieval service.

Should you receive Your pet tag from a third party, any and all payment issues and refund requests must be addressed by that third party. Keyfech has no liability for any amounts collected by, or paid by, its partners and resellers.

7. What happens if You lose a pet?

7.1 Your PetfetchID tag, depending on which pet is missing, contains instructions to a Finder. The Finder may go to the Website and enter the unique ID code shown on the tag attached to Your pet. Once that is done, the Website will generate an automatic email notifying You that your pet has been located. The Finder does not receive Your email address or any information about You unless you choose to share this information in your Petfetch pet profile.

7.2 The Finder enters his email address into the Website and is automatically connected to an anonymous messaging system through which he can send You an anonymous message. The Website sends You a message containing a link to an anonymous private chat room in which you can view the Finder’s message. You can then use this messaging system to self-arrange a suitable time and place to collect Your missing pet. If you create a PetfetchID profile with more personal details upon entering your pet's unique ID number the finder will be able to contact you via any contact method you have chosen to list.

7.3 The chat room is recorded and monitored to provide You with protection and security in case of a dispute. Keyfetch have a zero tolerance policy towards abusive or unethical behavior.

7.4 Petfetch will not disclose Your contact details or any other information about You to a Finder. You are under no obligation to disclose any information to a Finder unless you choose to do so. Please read paragraph 9 which provides guidance on do's and don’ts when arranging to collect Your pet.
