The ground rules
These terms & conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at paws-play.com and related pages, emails, and newsletters we operate (together, the “Site”). The Site is operated by Paws & Play (“we,” “us,” “our”).
By visiting or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information. Our affiliate disclosure explains referral links.
What this site is — and is not
Paws & Play publishes editorial information about pets, products, and everyday care. It is a field guide, not a clinic. Nothing on the Site is veterinary, medical, nutritional, or behavioral advice tailored to your animal, and nothing here creates a professional-client relationship.
Always confirm health, diet, medication, and safety decisions with a qualified veterinarian or other licensed professional who can examine your pet. You use the Site at your own judgment.
Using the Site
You may read, share links to, and print reasonable extracts of our pages for personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not suggest we endorse you without permission. You agree not to:
- Scrape, copy, or republish our content at scale without written permission.
- Interfere with the Site’s security, availability, or other visitors.
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation.
- Post unlawful, harmful, infringing, or deceptive material where comments or other submissions are allowed.
- Use the Site to send spam or to train a commercial model on our content without permission.
Intellectual property
Unless we say otherwise, the text, design, logos, and original graphics on the Site are owned by Paws & Play or used under license. “Paws & Play” and our marks are ours. Product names, retailer names, and logos belong to their owners. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Comments and other submissions
If you leave a comment or send us material, you grant Paws & Play a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display that material in connection with the Site. You confirm you have the right to grant that license and that your submission does not infringe anyone else’s rights.
We may refuse, edit, or remove submissions that violate these Terms or our editorial standards. Submissions do not represent our views.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
Some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission. That does not change the price you pay and does not change our editorial rankings. Details are in the affiliate disclosure.
When you follow a link away from Paws & Play, you leave our Site. Third-party shops, platforms, and services have their own terms, privacy practices, prices, stock, and return policies. We are not responsible for their content, products, or conduct. Confirm details with the seller before you buy.
No warranties
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work to keep information accurate, but product specs, prices, availability, and safety guidance change. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or complete, or that a recommendation will suit your particular pet or home.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Paws & Play and the people who operate this Site will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, if any, or (b) fifty US dollars (USD $50). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Paws & Play from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the Site, your submissions, or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
Changes
We may update the Site and these Terms from time to time. The date below is the latest revision. If you continue to use the Site after a change, the updated Terms apply. If a change is material, we will try to make that obvious on this page.
General
These Terms are the agreement between you and Paws & Play for use of the Site. If a court finds a part unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may assign our rights in connection with operating the Site.
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of paws-play.com, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would point elsewhere, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country apply and cannot be waived.
