Our Submission Agreement (Plain English)

We are so grateful you're here to share the story of your cherished pet. Here's a simple breakdown of what happens when you hit "Submit."

1. You Still Own Your Story & Photo You are not giving away ownership of your words or your picture. They are still yours.
2. You Give Us Permission to Share It You are giving Roscoe's World permission to share your pet's story and photo. This means we can post it here on the website's memorial page, and we might also share it on our social media (like Facebook or Instagram) or in other Roscoe's World projects.
3. You Promise It's Yours to Share By submitting, you're confirming that you wrote the story and you own the photo (or have permission from the person who took it).
4. We Might Use It for Inspiration As we wrote above, our dream is for Roscoe's World to be a destination for all pets. By sharing your story, you understand that your pet's name or story might become part of the larger Roscoe's World universe one day, perhaps as a new character or an honored name.
5. This is Public Please remember that whatever you write and the photo you upload will be visible to the public. Please don't include any private information (like your phone number or full last name) in the story itself.

By clicking "Submit," you agree to these terms. Thank you for helping us build this beautiful tribute.
