Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website snifos.com and the services provided through it (together, the "Service"), operated by Snifos. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

2. The Service

Snifos is an independent dog food scoring platform that analyzes ingredients in commercial dog food products and publishes quality scores based on a published, publicly auditable methodology. Scores reflect our analysis of publicly available product information against documented criteria grounded in peer-reviewed canine nutrition science and AAFCO and NRC standards.

3. Not veterinary advice

The Service provides general informational content only. Snifos scores, articles, and other content are not veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and are not a substitute for consultation with a qualified veterinarian. Always seek professional advice regarding your dog's specific health and dietary needs.

4. Accounts

To access certain features you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and notify us promptly of any unauthorised use of your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service without our prior written consent
• Misrepresent Snifos scores, present them out of context, or imply brand endorsement by Snifos
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service or its systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service

6. Intellectual property

The Service and its content — including scores, methodology documentation, text, graphics, logos, and software — are owned by Snifos or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may reference individual scores for personal, non-commercial purposes with attribution to Snifos. Any commercial use requires our prior written permission.

7. Accuracy of information

We work hard to keep scores accurate and current, and we update them when formulations change. However, manufacturers may change formulations without notice, and we cannot guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times. If you find an error, please report it via the contact page.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Scores represent our independent analysis and opinion based on documented criteria.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Snifos shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if you breach these Terms. You may delete your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them, subject to any mandatory consumer protections available in your country of residence.
