Terms & Conditions

The terms on which The Canine Standards Atlas is published, who owns it, and how its content may be used.

01 Copyright and Ownership

All content on The Canine Standards Atlas, published at standards.dog, including its text, classifications, structure and design, is owned by Guise Bule de Missenden and protected by copyright. This protection covers the selection, arrangement and profiling of the standards mapped here as original editorial work, separate from the underlying public sources each entry cites.

02 Using This Reference

You are welcome to read the Atlas, link to it, and quote short passages from it with clear attribution to The Canine Standards Atlas. You may not republish it in whole or in substantial part, reproduce its structure or classifications as your own work, or carry out automated scraping or bulk copying of its content. Requests to use the material more extensively should be directed to the copyright holder.

03 Accuracy and No Warranty

The Atlas is a reference, not legal advice. Every entry is traced to a primary source and reviewed for accuracy, but standards are amended, withdrawn and replaced over time, and errors are always possible. Before relying on any point that matters to you, confirm it against the primary source the entry cites. The Atlas is provided as it stands, without warranty of any kind, and the publisher accepts no liability for any loss or decision arising from reliance on it.

04 External Sources

Where the Atlas links to legislation, regulators, scheme manuals or standard-setting bodies, those sites are outside our control. The links are provided for reference and convenience, and a link does not imply endorsement. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of any external site.

05 Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised from time to time as the Atlas develops. The date shown below records when this page was last updated. Continued use of the site after a change means those revised terms apply.
