IMPORTANT - MULTI ACCOUNTINGFollowing the introduction of email registered accounts (14th December 2017) we wish to clarify the TOS as follows. If (on the sole basis of the judgment of any administrator appointed by Pets 'n' Friends to investigate multi-accounting) an account exists for the primary purpose of enriching another account, notwithstanding whether either or both accounts is known to belong to a unique real person, this is considered to be cheating, and can result in sanctions up to and including the banning of both the sending and receiving accounts with loss of all game property.

You authorise the card issuer to pay any amounts described herein and authorise Pets 'n' Friends, or any other company that acts as a billing agent for Pets 'n' Friends, to continue to attempt to charge all sums described herein to your credit card account until such amounts are paid in full.
