These terms govern your use of Charlotte Animal Behaviour, an independent information portal about pet behaviourists working in the UK. By reading or using this site, you accept these terms in full. If you disagree with any part, please do not use the portal.
What this portal is
Charlotte Animal Behaviour is an information resource for people seeking guidance on pet behaviour and the work of animal behaviour consultants. The portal publishes articles, guides and practical advice on understanding and addressing behaviour challenges in companion animals. We are not a veterinary practice, a behaviourist consultancy or a booking service. We do not offer consultations, diagnoses or treatment plans for individual animals.
Nothing on this site constitutes professional veterinary or behavioural advice tailored to your pet. Always consult a qualified veterinary surgeon or a certified animal behaviourist for concerns about your animal's health or conduct.
How you may use the site
You may read, share and reference the content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy substantial portions of text, republish entire articles on another platform or present our work as your own. Automated scraping or systematic extraction of content without written permission is prohibited.
You agree not to use the portal to distribute malicious software, attempt unauthorised access to our systems or interfere with other users' ability to access the site. Any conduct that we reasonably consider abusive, defamatory or unlawful may result in restricted access.
Ownership of content
All text, images, design elements and compiled information on Charlotte Animal Behaviour remain our intellectual property or that of our licensors. The arrangement and presentation of material is protected under UK copyright law. Where we reference or cite external sources, the original copyright holders retain their rights.
You retain ownership of any correspondence or suggestions you send to us, but by submitting them you grant us a non-exclusive right to use that material to improve the portal. We will not publish private messages without your consent.
Limits of our responsibility
We aim for accuracy and clarity, but the portal is provided on an "as is" basis. We make no warranty that the information is complete, current or free from error. Pet behaviour is complex and individual; what works for one animal may not suit another. Reliance on any content is at your own risk.
We are not liable for any loss or damage—direct, indirect or consequential—arising from your use of the site or your inability to access it. This includes, but is not limited to, decisions made on the basis of information read here. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the greatest extent permitted.
External links are provided for convenience. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
Changes and governing law
We may revise these terms from time to time. Continued use of the portal after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. For significant alterations we will update the revision notice at the foot of this page.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from your use of Charlotte Animal Behaviour falls under the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
