8. Recipes and Feeding Information

Recipes and feeding suggestions are provided for general informational purposes.

Dogs have different nutritional needs based on factors such as:

age;
breed;
size and weight;
activity level;
pregnancy or nursing;
allergies and intolerances;
medications;
medical conditions;
the remainder of their diet.

A recipe suitable for one dog may be unsuitable for another.

Unless a recipe expressly states otherwise and has been professionally formulated for long-term feeding, homemade dog-food recipes on this website should not automatically be assumed to provide complete and balanced nutrition for every dog or every life stage.

Consult a veterinarian or board-certified veterinary nutritionist before making a substantial or long-term change to your dog’s diet.

9. Ingredient Safety

You are responsible for checking every ingredient before preparing or feeding a recipe.

Ingredient formulations and product labels may change. Always read the current packaging and verify that products do not contain ingredients unsafe for dogs, including xylitol, excessive salt, unsuitable sweeteners, toxic flavourings or other harmful additives.

Remove bones, pits, seeds, tough cores, packaging and other hazards where instructed.

Introduce new foods gradually and monitor your dog for digestive upset, allergic reactions or other adverse effects.

Seek veterinary assistance promptly if your dog consumes a potentially toxic ingredient or develops concerning symptoms.

10. Nutritional Information

Nutritional values, serving sizes and calorie estimates are provided as general estimates only.

Calculations may be produced using third-party software and can vary according to:

product brands;
ingredient sizes;
substitutions;
preparation methods;
moisture loss;
measurement differences;
serving sizes;
database accuracy.

We do not guarantee that nutritional calculations are complete or accurate.

Information intended for humans, including recipe-calculation software, may not reflect the specialist nutritional requirements of dogs.

11. No Veterinary Relationship

Using this website, contacting us, leaving a comment or receiving a response does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship or other professional relationship.

We cannot diagnose your dog, review its full clinical history or recommend treatment through general website content.

Questions involving illness, allergies, medication, pregnancy, renal disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, obesity or another medical condition should be directed to your veterinarian.

12. Advertising

The website displays third-party advertising, including advertising managed by Raptive.

Advertisements are provided by third parties and do not necessarily represent our views or recommendations. We do not control every advertisement displayed and are not responsible for claims made by advertisers.

16. Consent to Data Collection

These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy, available at:

Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy explains how we, our vendors and our service providers collect and use information when you use the website.

By using the website, you acknowledge the collection and use of information as described in the Privacy Policy, subject to the choices and rights available to you under applicable law.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent by following the opt-out instructions in the Privacy Policy or using the privacy and cookie controls provided on the website.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAWSOME RECIPES, ITS OWNER, VENDORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM:

YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE WEBSITE;
YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE;
RELIANCE ON WEBSITE CONTENT;
PREPARATION OR FEEDING OF A RECIPE;
USE OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE REFERENCED ON THE WEBSITE;
CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF A THIRD PARTY;
UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF INFORMATION.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF PAWSOME RECIPES, ITS OWNER, VENDORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO PAWSOME RECIPES DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR
ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US $100).

These limitations apply under any theory of liability, including contract, statute, negligence, tort or otherwise, whether or not we were advised of the possibility of the loss and even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation where applicable.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pawsome Recipes, its owner, contractors, vendors and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, damages and reasonable expenses arising from:

your unlawful or improper use of the website;
your breach of these Terms;
content you submit;
your infringement of another person’s rights;
your preparation, modification or use of a recipe contrary to its instructions or warnings.

This section does not require a consumer to indemnify us for our own unlawful conduct or for liability that cannot legally be excluded.

19. Binding Arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”)

a. Applicability

You agree that any dispute or claim against us or our vendors or service providers, collectively referred to in this section as “We” or “Us,” relating in any way to your access to or use of the website, these Terms or your relationship with Us will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except that:

you may bring an eligible claim in small claims court, provided it remains in that court and proceeds solely on an individual, non-class and non-representative basis; and
you or We may seek equitable relief in court concerning infringement or misuse of intellectual-property rights, including trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you must commence an arbitration or other claim within one year after the dispute arises. Otherwise, the claim will be permanently barred.

This Arbitration Agreement applies to claims arising or asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any previous version of this Arbitration Agreement, to the extent permitted by law.

You agree that you will not participate in or seek monetary or other relief through a lawsuit filed against Us that alleges class, collective or representative claims on your behalf.

You may instead bring your claim in an individual arbitration proceeding, except where the Batch Arbitration provisions below apply.

You acknowledge that you may consult a lawyer before accepting these Terms and this Arbitration Agreement.

The US Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement where applicable.

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement deprives a consumer of mandatory rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived under the laws of the country or state in which that consumer resides.

b. Informal Resolution and Arbitration Process

Before starting arbitration, you must send written notice describing your claim in detail.

The notice must include:

your full name;
your contact information;
the legal basis of your claim;
the relevant facts;
the dates and amounts of relevant transactions or interactions;
the remedy you are requesting.

Send the notice to:

7 The Row, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29 5SG

You may also send a copy by email to [email protected].

You and We agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the claim informally.

If the claim is not resolved within 30 days after receipt of the notice, either party may commence arbitration.

Arbitration will be administered by JAMS.

Claims and counterclaims below US $250,000, excluding legal fees and interest, will be governed by the current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

Other claims will be governed by the current JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

JAMS rules are available through its website or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.

If JAMS is unavailable, the parties will select an alternative arbitration provider.

You may choose for arbitration to be conducted remotely, on written submissions or in person at a mutually agreed location, subject to applicable JAMS rules and mandatory consumer protections.

We may make an offer of judgement or settlement in an arbitration proceeding. The consequences of rejecting such an offer will be determined under applicable law and the relevant arbitration rules.

Judgement on an arbitration award may be entered by any court with jurisdiction.

c. Fees

If the arbitrator determines that you cannot afford applicable JAMS filing, administrative or hearing fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, We will pay those fees as required by applicable law or JAMS consumer standards.

If the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous, the arbitrator may award legal fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable law.

d. Authority of the Arbitrator

The arbitrator, rather than a federal, state or local court or agency, will have authority to resolve disputes concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including claims that any part of it is invalid or void, except where applicable law requires a court to decide such an issue.

The arbitrator may:

decide the rights and liabilities of the parties;
dispose of all or part of a claim;
award monetary damages;
award non-monetary remedies available to an individual under applicable law;
issue a written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions.

The arbitration will not be joined with unrelated matters or parties except as expressly permitted by the Batch Arbitration section below.

An arbitration award will be final and binding, subject to any limited review available under applicable law.

e. Waiver of Jury Trial

To the extent permitted by law, you and We waive the right to sue in court and have a trial before a judge or jury for claims governed by this Arbitration Agreement.

An arbitrator may generally award the same individual remedies as a court, but there is no judge or jury and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

f. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions

Except for Batch Arbitration described below, claims governed by this Arbitration Agreement must be arbitrated individually rather than as a class, collective or representative action.

Only individual relief is available, and the claims of one user may not be joined or consolidated with the claims of another user.

If this waiver is found invalid or unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will not be arbitrated and must instead be resolved by a court with jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires a different result.

g. Batch Arbitration

Where 50 or more substantially similar individual arbitration requests are filed against Us within approximately 30 days or otherwise in close proximity, JAMS may administer those requests collectively as one consolidated arbitration with one set of fees, one schedule and, where required, one hearing before one arbitrator.

If the arbitrator finds a single consolidated proceeding impracticable or inequitable, the arbitrator may group the requests into batches of no fewer than 20 matters, together with a remainder batch if required.

You and We agree to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate Batch Arbitration.

Requests are of a similar nature when they arise from the same event, agreement or factual circumstances, raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief.

Disagreements concerning the application of this Batch Arbitration process will be determined in a consolidated proceeding before one arbitrator.

This section does not authorise class or collective arbitration outside the circumstances expressly described here.

h. Severability

If a part of this Arbitration Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain effective, except where these Terms expressly provide otherwise.

i. Survival

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Us.

j. Modifications

If We make a material future change to this Arbitration Agreement, the change will not apply to an individual claim for which you had already provided written notice before the change became effective.

20. Rights That Cannot Be Waived

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or overrides rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer, privacy, animal-welfare or other laws.

If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, Canada, Australia or another jurisdiction providing mandatory consumer protections, those protections continue to apply.

21. Governing Law

Subject to the Arbitration Agreement and mandatory consumer laws, these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Where the Arbitration Agreement does not apply, the courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, except where applicable consumer law permits you to bring a claim in the courts of your place of residence.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

23. No Waiver

A failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional policies expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement between you and Pawsome Recipes concerning your use of the website.
