Terms of Use

Website purpose

The website provides general information about The Doggie Den, grooming services, availability, location, nearby places, and ways to get in touch. Website content is informational and may be changed, corrected, or removed as the business evolves.

Appointments and availability

Sending a text, email, social message, or feedback form does not create or confirm an appointment. The availability display is a general guide, may change, and may not reflect every scheduling consideration. An appointment is confirmed only after The Doggie Den communicates confirmation directly to you. Service details, timing, pricing, pet suitability, and any special needs must also be confirmed directly.

Pet-care information

Website content is not veterinary, medical, behavioral, or emergency advice. If an animal may be ill, injured, in distress, or experiencing an emergency, contact a licensed veterinarian or appropriate emergency service. The Doggie Den may decline, pause, or modify a service when reasonably necessary for an animal’s safety or welfare, subject to any separate service agreement and applicable law.

Communications

Contact links may open a phone, email, mapping, or social messaging service operated by another company. Your carrier or service provider’s charges and terms may apply. The Doggie Den cannot guarantee delivery, confidentiality, or response time through an external service. Do not use website contact options for an animal emergency.

Feedback submissions

If the feedback form is available, submit only information you are authorized to share. Do not submit passwords, payment card information, government identifiers, veterinary records, or other sensitive information. You keep ownership of your message and grant The Doggie Den a limited permission to receive, review, store, and respond to it for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy. Submitting feedback does not give permission to publish your name, message, or pet’s information as a testimonial; separate permission would be required.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, or abusive activity;
• submit false information or impersonate another person or business;
• interfere with the website, bypass security controls, or probe for vulnerabilities;
• use automated systems to overload, scrape, or misuse the website; or
• introduce malicious code or attempt unauthorized access to systems or information.

Access may be limited or blocked when reasonably necessary to protect the website, the business, visitors, or service providers.

Website content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website’s design, text, graphics, branding, and original media are owned by or used with permission by The Doggie Den. You may view the site and share links for personal, noncommercial purposes. You may not reproduce, sell, modify, or commercially exploit site content without permission or a legal right to do so. Rights in third-party names, marks, and content remain with their owners.

Third-party content and links

The website may link to or display content from other businesses and service providers. Those services control their own content, availability, security, terms, and privacy practices. A link is provided for convenience and does not guarantee or endorse the accuracy, quality, availability, or conduct of another business. Verify important details directly before relying on them.

Disclaimers

The website is provided on an “as available” basis. The Doggie Den works to keep information useful and accurate but does not promise that every page, link, availability indicator, or external service will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, or error-free. Nothing in these terms limits a promise expressly made in a separate written service agreement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Doggie Den is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of or inability to use the website or an external service linked from it. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Ohio law and severability

These terms are governed by the laws of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated when website features, business practices, or legal requirements change. The date at the top will be revised when an update is posted. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply to future website use.
