Legal

Terms and conditions

The rules for using this website. Training itself is covered by a separate written agreement.

Last updated August 28, 2026

Agreement to our legal terms

We are In Line K9, a dog training business operating in San Diego, California. We operate the website https://inlinek9sd.com, along with any related products and services that refer to these legal terms.

These legal terms are a legally binding agreement between you and In Line K9 concerning your use of this website. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using it.

These terms cover your use of this website. They are not the agreement for training services. If you decide to work with us, the training itself is governed by a separate written service agreement signed by both of us, which covers program details, fees, cancellation, and the care of your dog. Nothing on this website is that agreement, and nothing on this website is an offer to contract.

1. Our services

The information provided when using this website is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or would subject us to any registration requirement. Those who choose to access the site from elsewhere do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

2. Intellectual property rights

We own or are licensed to use all intellectual property in this website, including its source code, design, text, photographs, video, and graphics, and the In Line K9 name and logo.

You are granted a non exclusive, non transferable, revocable license to access the site and to download or print portions of it for your own personal, non commercial use. Nothing else about the site may be copied, reproduced, republished, sold, or exploited commercially without our prior written permission.

Customer reviews quoted on this website are the words of the people who wrote them and are reproduced as published.

3. User representations

By using this website, you represent and warrant that:

All information you submit is true, accurate, current, and complete
You will keep that information accurate and update it as needed
You have the legal capacity to agree to these terms
You are not a minor in the jurisdiction where you live
You will not use the site for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
Your use of the site does not violate any applicable law
Any information you give us about your dog is accurate and complete, including any history of biting, aggression, injury, or illness.

That last point matters more than the rest. We make decisions about safety, suitability, and the handling of your dog based on what you tell us. Withholding a bite history or a medical condition puts our staff, other animals, the public, and your own dog at risk.

4. Prohibited activities

You may not access or use the site for any purpose other than that for which we make it available. In particular you agree not to:

Systematically retrieve data from the site to build any collection or database without our written permission

Upload or transmit viruses, or any material that interferes with the use of the site by others
Use any automated system, including scripts or scrapers, to access the site
Harass, abuse, or harm another person through the site
Copy or adapt the site's software
Use the site to compete with us or for any revenue generating venture

5. User generated contributions

We may invite you to submit content, for example a review, a photograph of your dog, or a testimonial. Any contribution you make may be treated as non confidential and non proprietary. By submitting it, you grant us a worldwide, royalty free license to use, reproduce, and display it in connection with our business, including on this website and in marketing.

You represent that you own or control the rights to what you submit, that it is accurate, and that it does not violate anyone else's rights. We may edit, refuse, or remove any contribution at our discretion. You may ask us to stop using a contribution you made by contacting us.

6. Third party websites and content

The site may contain links to other websites, and may display content from third party services, including our forms, assessment, and booking calendar. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of third parties. Links are not an endorsement. If you leave our site, you should review the terms and privacy policy of wherever you land.

7. Services management

We reserve the right to monitor the site for violations of these terms, to take appropriate legal action against anyone who violates them, to restrict access to any part of the site, and to remove any content that is excessive in size or burdensome to our systems.

8. Privacy notice

We care about data privacy. Please review our privacy notice. By using this site you agree to be bound by it, and it forms part of these terms. This site is hosted in the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, you are transferring your data to the United States and you consent to it being processed there.

9. Term and termination

These terms remain in effect while you use the site. We may, at our sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to the site to anyone for any reason, including for breach of these terms.

10. Modifications and interruptions

We may change, modify, or remove the contents of the site at any time without notice, and we are under no obligation to update any information on it. We cannot guarantee the site will be available at all times. Hardware failure, maintenance, and other causes may result in interruptions or errors, and we are not liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by your inability to access the site.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

12. Dispute resolution

Informal negotiations first. To speed resolution and control cost, you and we agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty days before starting any formal proceeding. Informal negotiations begin when one party gives the other written notice.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Corrections

There may be information on the site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions of our programs. We reserve the right to correct any errors and to change or update the information at any time, without prior notice.

14. Disclaimer

The site is provided on an as is and as available basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the site and your use of it, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non infringement.

No guarantee of training results. Dog training outcomes depend on the individual animal, its history and genetics, its health, the environment it lives in, and above all on the continued involvement of the owner after a program ends. Any description of typical timelines, outcomes, or programs on this website is a general description and not a promise, guarantee, or warranty of any particular result for your dog.

Animal behavior is inherently unpredictable. No trainer, method, or program can guarantee that any animal will never display undesirable or dangerous behavior, including biting. Owners remain responsible for the safe management and containment of their dog at all times, and remain responsible for compliance with all leash laws, licensing requirements, and local ordinances.

Nothing on this site is veterinary or medical advice. Behavioral problems can have medical causes. Consult a licensed veterinarian about your dog's health, and about any sudden change in behavior.

Information on this website, including our assessment tool and any program recommendation it produces, is general information based on the answers you provide. It is not an evaluation of your dog, it is not a professional opinion about your specific animal, and it should not be relied on as one. A real assessment happens in person.

15. Limitations of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages. If those laws apply to you, some or all of the above may not apply, and you may have additional rights.

Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing in this section affects the terms of any separate written service agreement between us.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any loss, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of the rights of a third party.

17. User data

We maintain certain data that you transmit to the site for the purpose of managing its performance, as well as data relating to your use of it. Although we perform routine backups, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit. We have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of such data, and you waive any right of action against us arising from it.

18. Electronic communications and signatures

Visiting the site, sending us emails, and completing our forms are electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. You consent to the use of electronic signatures and electronic records.

19. SMS text messaging

If you provide your phone number and give consent on one of our forms, you agree to receive text messages from In Line K9.

Consent is not a condition of purchase.
Message frequency varies.
Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for assistance.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Your mobile information and SMS consent will not be shared or sold to any third party or affiliate for their own marketing purposes.

Full detail is in section 11 of our privacy notice.

20. California users and residents

If a complaint with us is not satisfactorily resolved, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952 5210 or (916) 445 1254.

21. Miscellaneous

These terms and any policies we post constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of this website. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision does not operate as a waiver of it. If any provision is determined to be unlawful or unenforceable, that provision is severable and does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. No joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship is created between you and us by these terms or your use of the site.
