Use the site lawfully and for personal information. Do not copy or exploit its work without permission. DogTrainingScout provides general educational content, not an individual professional service.
Operator and contact
This website is operated under the trading name DogTrainingScout by a sole trader established in the United Kingdom. Routine legal, privacy and website enquiries can be emailed to info@
Acceptance and eligibility
By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. The content is directed to adults responsible for choosing or supervising dog care and training. A person under 18 should use the site only with an appropriate adult.
These terms incorporate the Website Disclaimer, Privacy and Cookie Policy, Affiliate Disclosure and Copyright and Permitted Use notice.
Information and no professional relationship
The site provides general educational and editorial information. It does not provide an individual veterinary, behaviour, training, legal, financial or other professional service. Use does not create a professional-client, fiduciary, employment, partnership, agency or joint-venture relationship.
You are responsible for obtaining appropriate professional help and for decisions made using the site. Safety warnings and referral boundaries form part of the content and should not be separated from an exercise or recommendation.
Acceptable use
You may browse, link to and make limited personal use of the site in accordance with these terms. You must not:
- use the site unlawfully, fraudulently or to harm a person or animal;
- interfere with security, availability, code, infrastructure or another visitor's use;
- introduce malware, attempt unauthorised access, probe vulnerabilities or evade access controls;
- misrepresent DogTrainingScout content, identity, conclusions or commercial relationships;
- copy, republish, sell, license, scrape or systematically extract substantial content except where law expressly permits or written permission has been given;
- use content to train or fine-tune a machine-learning system without written permission;
- remove copyright, disclosure, safety, source or attribution notices; or
- use contact details for spam, deceptive pitches or unlawful marketing.
Ordinary search-engine indexing in accordance with published robots instructions is permitted. DogTrainingScout may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the site, rights, users or services.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, DogTrainingScout or its licensors own the site content, branding, original images, graphics, layouts, databases, downloads and code. No ownership transfers to a visitor. Limited personal-use permission is described in the Copyright and Permitted Use notice.
Third-party names, marks, images and materials remain the property of their owners. Reference to them does not grant a licence or imply sponsorship.
Emails, corrections and submitted material
Do not send confidential, privileged or highly sensitive information. Unless expressly agreed in writing, an unsolicited idea, product submission or proposal is not treated as confidential and creates no duty to publish, review, compensate or return material.
You confirm that material you ask DogTrainingScout to consider can lawfully be provided and does not knowingly infringe another person's rights. You retain ownership of your material. You grant only the permission reasonably needed to read, investigate and respond to the submission, unless a separate agreement is made.
External links and commercial relationships
External websites and merchants control their own content, availability, security, privacy and transaction terms. DogTrainingScout is not responsible for a third party merely because the site links to or discusses it. Check the provider's current terms before purchasing or sharing information.
Some future links may be affiliate links. The Affiliate Disclosure explains how they will be identified and how editorial independence is protected.
No website sales at present
DogTrainingScout does not currently sell products or services through this website. These terms do not create checkout, subscription, delivery, cancellation or refund terms. Before DogTrainingScout sells a digital product, membership or software service, separate sales terms and the required pre-contract information will be presented before purchase.
A purchase from an external merchant is governed by the merchant's terms, not these terms.
Availability and warranties
The site is provided on an "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no promise is made that it will always be available, error-free, complete, current, secure or suitable for a particular dog, owner, device or purpose. DogTrainingScout may change, suspend or withdraw pages, tools or features.
This wording does not affect warranties or rights that applicable law does not allow a trader to exclude.
Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of a duty that cannot lawfully be excluded, or any mandatory consumer right.
Subject to that sentence and to the fullest extent permitted by law, DogTrainingScout is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss, loss arising from a third-party product or service, or loss caused by reliance on content outside its stated scope, ignoring a warning, failing to obtain appropriate professional help or using equipment contrary to instructions.
If you use the site for business purposes, DogTrainingScout is not responsible for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings or data where exclusion is permitted by law. Consumers retain all rights that apply to them.
Changes, severability and enforcement
DogTrainingScout may update these terms for legal, technical or operational reasons. Updated terms apply from the date shown on this page. If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue. A delay in enforcement does not waive a right.
Governing law and courts
These terms and non-contractual disputes are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that a consumer may retain mandatory rights to bring or defend proceedings in another part of the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction where applicable consumer law requires it.
