Dash & Doze Terms of Use

Last updated: October 31, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and BatHam IT Strategies, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) about your use of the Dash & Doze mobile app (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App.

The short version

This summary is for convenience. The full Terms below are what apply.

Dash & Doze offers ideas for games and activities to enjoy with your dog. It isn’t veterinary, medical, or professional training advice.
You know your dog best. You decide what’s safe for your dog, supervise every activity, and stop if your dog seems uncomfortable.
Your purchase gives you a personal license to use the App. The cards, text, and artwork belong to us.
The App is provided “as is,” and our liability is limited as far as the law allows.

1. Using the App

Your license. When you get the App, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use it on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, as permitted by the rules of the app store you got it from (including any family-sharing features the store offers).

Sharing cards. You’re welcome to use the App’s Share feature to share individual cards with friends and family, or on social media, for personal, non-commercial purposes.

What you agree not to do. You won’t:

copy, sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the App or its content, except for sharing individual cards as described above;
reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App, except to the extent the law allows despite this restriction;
remove or change any copyright, trademark, or other notices;
use the App’s content to build a competing product or service, or as training data for machine-learning or artificial-intelligence models; or
use the App in any way that breaks the law.

Younger users. If you’re under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms.

2. Your dog’s safety

Please read this section carefully. It explains your responsibilities when you do activities from the App.

General information, not professional advice. The activities, tips, warnings, and product suggestions in the App are general information. They aren’t veterinary, medical, behavioral, or professional training advice, and they don’t replace a veterinarian, trainer, or behaviorist who knows your dog. We work to keep every card accurate and safe, but dog-care guidance changes and no card fits every dog. A card may be incomplete or out of date, so use your judgment and check with your veterinarian when in doubt.

Know your dog. Every dog is different. Before you try an activity, consider your dog’s age, size, breed, health, fitness, and temperament. Check with your veterinarian before starting new or more strenuous activities, especially with a puppy, a senior dog, a pregnant dog, a flat-faced (brachycephalic) breed, or a dog with health, joint, or mobility problems.

Supervise. Watch your dog throughout every activity. Stop right away if your dog shows signs of stress, pain, fatigue, overheating, or discomfort.

Props, toys, and household items. Make sure anything you use is the right size for your dog and safe for them. Fabric, plastic, cardboard, and items found outdoors can be swallowed and can cause choking or intestinal blockage, so supervise closely and take items away before they’re chewed apart. Leave your dog alone only with a sturdy food toy sized for them, never with chews or items they could break apart.

Food and treats. Some human foods are dangerous to dogs, including xylitol (a sweetener found in some peanut butters and sugar-free products), grapes and raisins, onions and garlic, chocolate, and macadamia nuts. If you’re unsure whether a food is safe, ask your veterinarian. For food games, use part of your dog’s daily food so treats don’t add up.

Surroundings and weather. Check your space for hazards such as slippery floors, stairs, breakable items, and traffic, and avoid strenuous play in hot weather or on hot or icy ground.

Behavior concerns. If your dog shows aggression, fear, anxiety, resource guarding, or reactivity, talk to your veterinarian or a qualified trainer or behaviorist. The App isn’t designed to address these issues.

Children and other people. An adult should supervise whenever children and dogs play together. Make sure anyone who helps with an activity knows what to do. You’re responsible for your dog’s behavior, for the safety of other people, animals, and property, and for following local laws, such as leash rules.

Product suggestions. Some cards mention general types of products. These are suggestions, not endorsements, and we aren’t paid for them. Choose products that suit your dog, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Emergencies. The App can’t help in an emergency. If your dog is hurt, seems ill, or may have eaten something harmful, contact your veterinarian, an emergency animal hospital, or an animal poison control service right away.

Your choice, your responsibility. You decide whether, when, and how to do each activity, and you do so at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we aren’t responsible for any injury, illness, damage, or loss that results from activities you choose to do.

3. Purchases and refunds

You buy the App for a one-time price from an app store, such as Google Play or the Apple App Store. The current version has no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or ads. Your purchase is processed by the store and is also subject to its terms, such as the Google Play Terms of Service or the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Refunds are handled by the store under its refund policies. If you have a problem with the App, please contact us; we’d like to help.

4. Updates and availability

We may update the App to fix problems, add or change content, or keep it working on new devices, and we may remove features or content. We aren’t obligated to provide updates, and we don’t promise the App will work on every device or operating-system version. We may stop offering the App at any time. If we do, the copy already on your device may keep working, but it may no longer be updated.

5. Ownership

The App and its content, including the activity cards, text, artwork, design, and the Dash & Doze name and logo, are owned by BatHam IT Strategies, LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Apart from the license in these Terms, you don’t receive any rights in them.

6. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. In short, the App works offline and doesn’t collect your personal information.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP AND ALL OF ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON’T WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY ACTIVITY IS SAFE OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR DOG.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BATHAM IT STRATEGIES, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY INJURY TO OR ILLNESS OF ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR ANY ACTIVITY YOU CHOOSE TO DO, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP OR US $10.

Some places don’t allow certain warranties to be excluded or certain damages to be limited, so some of the limits above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where the law doesn’t allow that liability to be limited.

10. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BatHam IT Strategies, LLC and its members, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the App, your breach of these Terms, or your dog’s actions during activities you choose to do.

11. Ending these Terms

You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. If you materially breach these Terms, your license ends automatically and you must stop using the App. Sections that by their nature should continue after these Terms end, including Ownership, Disclaimer of warranties, Limitation of liability, Indemnity, and Governing law and disputes, will continue to apply.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods doesn’t apply.

If you have a concern, please email us at support@bh-its.com first and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. After that, either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Any dispute that isn’t resolved informally or in small claims court will be decided only by the state courts in Tillamook County, Oregon, or the federal courts for the District of Oregon, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction.

If you live in a country whose consumer-protection laws give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts or to rely on your local law, nothing in these Terms takes away those rights.

13. Additional terms for the Apple App Store

If you got the App from the Apple App Store, the following terms also apply:

These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
Your license is limited to using the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing may also use it.
Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the App’s purchase price to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses caused by a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent they haven’t been effectively disclaimed.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.
If a third party claims that the App or your possession or use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that the U.S. Government has designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms, such as your wireless carrier’s, when using the App.
Questions, complaints, or claims about the App go to us, not Apple, using the contact details in Section 16.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date. For significant changes, we’ll also give notice, for example in the App’s release notes. The updated Terms apply to your use of the App after they’re posted, and if you keep using the App, you accept them.

15. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable app store terms, are the entire agreement between you and us about the App. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we don’t enforce part of these Terms, we haven’t waived our right to enforce it later. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer these Terms and the App to a related company or a successor; if we do, we’ll update these Terms to name the new publisher.

To the extent the law allows, any claim relating to the App must be filed within one year after it arises, or it’s permanently barred. You may not use or export the App in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions laws.
