Terms of Service
Welcome to The Dog-Eared Digest. These terms cover the use of our website and our paper. They’re short, and written to be read.
The basics
By using thedogeareddigest.com, subscribing to the paper, or sending us a submission, you agree to these terms. If anything here doesn’t sit right with you, we’d rather you write to us than click away puzzled.
Subscriptions and refunds
How subscriptions work, when your first issue arrives, and how to cancel are all covered in our Subscription Terms. Our refund promise, the Happy Tail Guarantee, is covered in our Refund Policy. Those two pages are part of these terms.
A note about dog care
The Digest is written with care and researched with love, but it’s a newspaper, not a veterinarian. Nothing in our pages or on this site is veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Every dog is different, and when it comes to your dog’s health, your veterinarian knows best. If something in an issue inspires a change in your dog’s care, food, or routine, please run it past your vet first.
Our content
The words, illustrations, puzzles, and design of The Dog-Eared Digest are ours, and we work hard on them. They’re protected by copyright. You’re welcome to share the paper with a friend, read it aloud at the kitchen table, and clip and save to your heart’s content. What we ask you not to do is republish, copy, or sell our content without our written permission.
Your submissions
When you send us a story or photo through That’s My Dog!, the permissions you grant are spelled out on the submission form itself. You’re responsible for making sure what you send us is yours to share. We read every submission, but we can’t publish them all, and we may edit for length and clarity as described on the form.
Using the site
Please use the site as it’s intended: to read, subscribe, and share stories. Don’t attempt to break, scrape, or misuse it, and don’t submit anything unlawful, hateful, or that belongs to someone else.
The legal paragraph
The site and paper are provided as they are. To the fullest extent the law allows, we’re not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the site or the paper. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
Changes
If we update these terms, we’ll post the new version here with a new effective date. Continuing to use the site or receive the paper after a change means the new terms apply.
Where we’re based
The Dog-Eared Digest is published in Tennessee, and these terms are governed by Tennessee law.
