These Terms and Conditions govern your use of yardflock.com. By visiting or using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. We have kept the language as plain as we can while still being precise.

1. Acceptance

Your continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of these terms as they stand on the day you use it. We may revise them from time to time, and the revised version takes effect when posted here with an updated date.

2. Eligibility

The site is intended for users aged 13 and over. If you are under 18, you should review these terms with a parent or guardian. Any transaction you enter into with a third party retailer after leaving our site is subject to that retailer’s own age and eligibility requirements, which commonly require you to be 18 or older.

3. Permitted use of the site

You may read, print and share our pages for your own personal, non commercial use. You may quote a short extract with clear attribution and a link back to the original page. Anything beyond that is covered by our Terms of Use.

4. Comments and user submitted content

Where comments are enabled, you are responsible for what you post. By submitting a comment you grant us a non exclusive, royalty free licence to display, store and moderate it on the site. You confirm that the content is yours to post and does not infringe anyone else’s rights.

We may edit, refuse or remove any submission at our discretion, without notice, and without giving a reason. We particularly remove content that is abusive, defamatory, unlawful, spam, or that promotes practices harmful to animal welfare.

5. Affiliate relationships

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. This is disclosed on every page where such links appear and in full on our Affiliate Disclosure page. Commission arrangements do not determine our rankings, scores or recommendations.

6. Third party links and products

We link to retailers, manufacturers and published sources for your convenience. We do not control those sites or the products sold on them. We are not a party to any transaction between you and a third party, and we are not responsible for pricing, availability, shipping, warranties, returns, product defects or customer service. Those matters are between you and the seller.

7. Accuracy of content

We research carefully, but specifications change without notice, manufacturers revise products under the same model name, and published guidance is updated over time. Content on this site is provided for general information and is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing. Always confirm critical specifications with the manufacturer before you buy or build. See our Disclaimer for the full statement.

8. No professional advice

Nothing on this site is veterinary, legal, construction, electrical or financial advice. Poultry health decisions should involve a licensed veterinarian. Structural, electrical and fencing work should comply with local codes and, where required, be carried out or inspected by a qualified professional. Backyard poultry keeping is regulated locally, and it is your responsibility to check the ordinances that apply to your property.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and its content are provided on an as is and as available basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error free or free of harmful components.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The courts located in the State of California will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and you consent to that jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause removes any mandatory consumer protection you have under the law of your own country of residence.

13. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
