Agreement

By using TortoiseFood.co.uk you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

The site is operated by [legal entity or individual name], [address].

Nature of the information

This site provides general educational information about tortoise nutrition. It does not provide veterinary advice, and nothing on it diagnoses a condition or prescribes a treatment.

Our food ratings are guidance based on published specialist and veterinary sources, as described in our sources and review policy. They are not guarantees of safety for any individual animal. Species, age, health, housing and provenance of a plant all affect the outcome, and we cannot assess any of those.

You are responsible for decisions about your animal. Where a tortoise is unwell, consult a reptile-experienced veterinarian. See our veterinary disclaimer.

Accuracy

We take reasonable care to ensure information is accurate and current, and we review it as set out in our editorial policy.

Despite that, guidance changes, product compositions change, and errors occur. We make no warranty that the site is free of error or that it is complete or up to date.

Product specifications quoted on this site come from manufacturers’ published information at the time of writing. The packaging in your hand is the authority.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for loss or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its content, including harm to an animal.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We link to third-party sites for reference and, in some cases, as affiliate links, disclosed in our affiliate disclosure. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.

Availability

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, and the date above will change accordingly. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
