Updated October 31, 2026 — Information and participation rules
APPETTO Battles are community events celebrating dogs registered by their owners. These rules explain participation, rankings, prizes, optional purchases and personal-data protection. Registration and participation are free, without any purchase or APPETTO+ subscription requirement.
APPETTO is primarily a pet nutrition and well-being information app; Battles are an additional community feature. Legal classification depends on how the event actually operates: calling it a “Battle” does not exempt it from applicable promotional rules.
1) Organizer and purpose
Battles are organized by APPETTO, a service operated by SAS Personae Agency. Contact: support@appetto.co.
These community events are available in the APPETTO app and supplement its terms of use and privacy policy. Each Battle’s theme, dates, stages, prizes and practical arrangements displayed in the app form part of its applicable terms. APPETTO generally plans one Battle per month, subject to the announced schedule.
2) Free registration and participation
Registering a dog and participating in a Battle are free. No purchase, subscription or in-app payment is required to register, cast free votes within the stated limits, compete in the rankings or be eligible for a prize.
Participation requires a valid APPETTO account, compliance with community rules, accurate information about the dog and the necessary rights to publish its photograph and details.
Places are limited to 100 dogs per Battle. Registration closes when all places are taken or the stated period ends. Each Battle may have a theme announced before it opens.
3) Nature of the Battles and no cash gambling
APPETTO focuses on pet nutrition and well-being. Battles are an additional community feature and are not presented as betting, casino or cash gambling activities. No financial stake is required; points, votes and boosts cannot be exchanged for cash.
Results are determined by the published ranking and qualification rules, not by a random draw. This does not guarantee a particular legal classification; applicable promotional and consumer-protection laws still apply.
4) Battle stages and rankings
Each Battle has four consecutive stages, with dogs progressing according to their ranking.
The dog with the highest points at the end of the final wins the Battle, subject to final validation of the results.
QUALIFIERS

Points are carried over and accumulated between stages until the end of the Battle.
At the start of each new stage, qualified dogs retain all their accumulated points. Rankings are based on the total points earned since the beginning of the Battle. Dogs that do not qualify are eliminated.
Rankings shown during a stage are provisional. Only consolidated results validated by APPETTO are final. APPETTO may investigate technical errors, fraud, disputes or counting irregularities before validation.
5) Free votes and optional paid features
Free and additional votes
Every user receives one free vote renewed every 10 minutes.
Additional vote packs may be purchased in the shop or received free of charge through APPETTO+ benefits and awarded rewards.
How boosts work
Boosts temporarily multiply points generated by eligible votes:
- x2 boost: votes count double for 30 minutes.
- x3 boost: votes count triple for one hour.
A boost takes effect when activated and never changes points previously earned. Validity, expiry and stacking conditions are shown in the app.
Optional purchases
Purchasing votes or boosts is entirely optional and is never required to register or participate in a Battle.
Prices and effects are shown before each transaction. These options can affect rankings, but no purchase guarantees qualification or victory.
6) APPETTO+ and Ambassador benefits
Everyone can participate in Battles for free. APPETTO+ subscribers and Ambassadors receive additional benefits once per Battle.
| Benefit | Free | APPETTO+ monthly | APPETTO+ yearly | Ambassador |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free votes per Battle | 0 | 10 | 50 | 50 |
| Free boost per Battle | None | x2 (30 min) | x3 (60 min) | x3 (60 min) |
Benefits are subject to the allocation, use and validity terms displayed in the app.
Points are counted using the same rules regardless of user status. Free votes and boosts can influence rankings, but no status guarantees victory or privileged intervention in the results.
7) Prizes and brand partnerships
Each edition’s prize is described in the app. Where a brand supplies a prize under an unpaid partnership, it does not buy votes, results or the winner’s selection. Any commercial consideration or promotional obligations must be disclosed. Delivery countries, restrictions and any costs must be specified for the edition. Winners will not be charged a fee to unlock a prize.
8) Winner and delivery
The final ranking determines the recipient under the edition rules. APPETTO may contact the account holder to check eligibility and arrange shipping, requesting only necessary details. Unavailable prizes or delivery issues are handled under the announced edition-specific conditions. Prizes cannot automatically be exchanged for cash.
9) Fair play and abuse prevention
Fake accounts, impersonation, unauthorized images, automated votes, manipulation, payment fraud and circumvention of limits are forbidden. APPETTO may investigate anomalies and take proportionate action based on objective evidence. Decisions may be challenged by contacting support@appetto.co.
10) Photos and submitted content
Dog names, photographs, rankings and results may be visible to other app users. Participants must have rights to submitted content and avoid publishing sensitive information about others. Promotional reuse outside the Championship requires an appropriate legal basis and permission where applicable.
11) Privacy and GDPR
Data may include account identifiers, dog profiles and photos, registrations, votes, scores, rewards, fraud-prevention information and delivery details for winners. Processing serves participation, ranking integrity, prize fulfillment and legal requirements under the relevant GDPR lawful bases. Data access and retention are limited to what is necessary; shipping details are shared with the partner only when needed. Request applicable access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability rights at support@appetto.co. You may complain to the CNIL. See the privacy policy for details.
12) Incidents and changes
Technical issues, fraud or exceptional circumstances may require a temporary suspension, verification or correction of scores. Material rule changes should be clearly communicated and must not unfairly prejudice participants. Applicable rules should remain accessible.
13) Questions and complaints
For participation, gifts or personal data inquiries: support@appetto.co. Nothing in these rules excludes mandatory consumer rights. Applicable French consumer-protection law and GDPR remain in force.
