Legal Notice

This Legal Notice provides additional information regarding Paws & Pinecones products, website content, intellectual property, and the use of our products and services.

Please also review our Terms of Service, Shipping Policy, Return & Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy, which together govern your use of our website and purchases from Paws & Pinecones.

Intellectual Property

The Paws & Pinecones brand and the original content we create are important to us.

Unless otherwise stated, original content on this website, including our original artwork, product designs, patterns, logos, graphics, photographs, written content, branding elements, illustrations, and website materials, is owned by Paws & Pinecones or used with permission from the applicable rights holder.

Our intellectual property may not be copied, reproduced, modified, republished, distributed, sold, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

Purchasing a Paws & Pinecones product does not transfer ownership of the artwork, design, photography, branding, or other intellectual property associated with that product.

Unauthorized use of protected materials may violate copyright, trademark, or other applicable intellectual property laws.

Pet Product Safety

Paws & Pinecones products are pet accessories and should always be used responsibly and with appropriate supervision.

Every dog is different. Customers are responsible for selecting products that are appropriate for their dog's size, behavior, activity level, and intended use.

Please regularly inspect all pet accessories for:

• Loose or damaged hardware

• Fraying or torn fabric

• Damaged stitching

• Excessive wear

• Loose decorative pieces

• Any other condition that could make the product unsafe

Discontinue use immediately if an item becomes damaged or shows signs of excessive wear.

Bandanas, bows, charms, decorative accessories, and detachable components are not toys and should not be chewed or ingested.

Never leave a dog unattended with an accessory when chewing, ingestion, entanglement, or another safety risk may reasonably exist.

Unless a product is specifically described as being designed for a particular restraint or safety purpose, decorative accessories should not be relied upon as safety equipment.

Paws & Pinecones is not responsible for injury or damage resulting from misuse, improper sizing, chewing, failure to supervise, continued use of a damaged product, or use contrary to provided instructions, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in this Legal Notice excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Product Variations

Some Paws & Pinecones pieces are handmade, personalized, produced in small batches, or created using materials with natural or manufacturing variations.

Because of this, slight differences may occur in:

• Color
  
• Pattern placement
  
• Print scale
  
• Stitching
  
• Embroidery placement
  
• Texture
  
• Dimensions
  
• Hardware or finishing details

Colors may also appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography, screen settings, and the device used to view our website.

These small variations are part of the nature of individually produced products and are not necessarily considered defects.

We do our best to represent every product as accurately as possible.

Personalized Products

Personalization is created based on the information provided by the customer when ordering.

Customers are responsible for reviewing names, spelling, capitalization, sizing, thread colors, and other selected personalization details before submitting an order.

Paws & Pinecones is not responsible for personalization errors resulting from incorrect information submitted by the customer.

If we make an error while creating your personalization, please contact us in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy so we can review the issue and make it right.

Sizing & Fit

Sizing information and measurements are provided to help customers select an appropriate product.

Because dogs vary considerably in breed, body shape, coat thickness, and proportions, we cannot guarantee that a particular size will fit every dog based solely on breed or weight.

Please measure your dog according to the sizing information provided on the applicable product page before ordering.

Customers are responsible for selecting an appropriate size unless the product itself was incorrectly labeled, manufactured, or fulfilled.

Website Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep information on the Paws & Pinecones website accurate and current.

Occasionally, information may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to product descriptions, pricing, availability, processing times, promotions, or other content.

We reserve the right to correct errors and update information as permitted by applicable law.

If an error materially affects an order you have already placed, we will handle the affected order in accordance with our Terms of Service and applicable law.

Third-Party Services

Our website and business may rely on third-party providers, including Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, apps, and other service providers.

Third-party services may occasionally experience outages, delays, interruptions, or other issues outside our reasonable control.

Paws & Pinecones is not responsible for the independent actions, services, policies, or availability of third parties that we do not own or control, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

Use of certain third-party services may also be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

No Guarantee of Universal Suitability

We put a great deal of care into choosing and creating our products, but every dog and household is different.

Unless expressly stated in a product description, we do not guarantee that a particular product will be appropriate for every dog, activity, environment, or situation.

Customers should use their own judgment when determining whether an accessory remains suitable and safe for their individual pet.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Paws & Pinecones will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from the use of our website, services, or products.

Any additional limitations of liability applicable to use of our website or products are described in our Terms of Service.

Nothing in this Legal Notice limits or excludes warranties, remedies, consumer protections, or liabilities that cannot legally be waived or limited.

Orders & Right to Refuse Service

Paws & Pinecones reserves the right to decline, limit, or cancel orders when reasonably necessary, including in circumstances involving:

• Suspected fraud or unauthorized transactions
  
• Pricing or listing errors
  
• Product availability
  
• Policy abuse
  
• Incomplete or inappropriate personalization requests
  
• Violation of our Terms of Service
  
• Orders we are unable to fulfill

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected and no product has been provided, we will issue any refund required under our policies and applicable law.

Governing Law

This Legal Notice and the policies governing Paws & Pinecones are governed by applicable United States federal law and the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Nothing in this provision removes consumer rights or protections that cannot legally be waived.
