A Note On User Content And Interaction On This Site

Clipsters & Co. attempts to be a part of a supportive community based around caring for dogs and building healthy, positive relationships between dogs, their owners, and wider society. To do this we want users to share their ideas, views and experiences. Despite our efforts to provide a platform for these aims, however, we need help from you, our users and customers, to make sure this platform is used in the right way. We do not accept any form of bullying, intolerance, personal attacks, abuse or threats. Dog ownership is for everyone and everyone has something to share and learn. Help us to keep this platform and community civil, honest and positive by reporting any behaviour that may contravene these ideals by emailing contact@clipstersandcompany.com or using the form on the Contact Us page. Thank you.

If a user finds they cannot follow the guidelines subsequent to this process, their account will be blocked. Further actions can and will be applied if necessary, and the user informed as much in advance.
