Terms of Service
Last updated: May 9, 2026
These terms govern your use of PrairieDogginIt (the "service"), operated by Joseph Sands / JArch Designs. By creating an account or using the service you agree to these terms.
Your account
- You must be at least 13 years old.
- You're responsible for activity under your account. Keep your credentials private and tell us if you suspect unauthorized access.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice, especially for abuse, spam, or illegal activity.
Your content
You keep ownership of the content you post (listings, photos, reviews, comments). By posting, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, distribute, and promote that content as part of the service. The license ends for content you delete, except for content others have incorporated into their own use (e.g., screenshots, copies they saved).
You confirm that you have the right to post what you post, and that it doesn't violate anyone else's rights.
Acceptable use
Don't:
- Post spam, harassment, hate speech, sexual content, or illegal content.
- Impersonate other people or businesses.
- Submit inaccurate listings on purpose, or flood the system with fake reviews.
- Scrape the service, attempt to break it, or reverse-engineer it.
- Use the service to infringe on other people's privacy, including posting their address or photos of them without consent.
Moderation
We reserve the right (but are not obligated) to remove or edit content, restrict features, or ban accounts. Flags submitted by users are reviewed by humans on our side, not acted on automatically.
Paid features
Some features (e.g., No Ads Forever, Premium and Elite subscriptions, paid-access listings, listing setup fees) are paid. We don't store your card details ourselves; payments are handled by one of three processors depending on platform and product:
- Stripe (web purchases of any kind, and all paid-listing entry / annual permit purchases on every platform). Subject to Stripe's own terms.
- Apple In-App Purchase (No Ads, Premium, and Elite subscriptions purchased from the iOS app). Subject to Apple's Media Services Terms. Refunds for IAP go through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com; we cannot directly refund an Apple-billed subscription.
- Google Play Billing (No Ads, Premium, and Elite subscriptions purchased from the Android app, when available). Subject to Google's Play Billing terms. Refund requests go through Google Play; we cannot directly refund a Google-billed subscription.
Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in the same store you bought them through (App Store → Subscriptions, or Google Play → Subscriptions). Paid features are non-transferable between accounts.
For Stripe-billed purchases, refunds are handled case-by-case — email noreply@prairiedogginit.com within 14 days if you have an issue.
Use of physical listings (assumption of risk)
Listings on PrairieDogginIt describe real-world locations maintained by other users or third parties. Visiting any listing is at your own risk. PrairieDogginIt is a directory and a payment intermediary; we do not own, operate, inspect, or supervise any listing.
By using a listing — paid or free — you assume all risks of doing so, including but not limited to: slips, falls, exposure to unsanitary conditions, contact with animals, theft of personal items, allergic reactions, and any injury, property damage, or loss arising from the condition of the location or the conduct of others present. You agree that PrairieDogginIt is not liable for any of the foregoing.
You are responsible for following all local laws, property rules, and the listing owner's posted rules. If a listing requires permission or a code to access, do not enter without it.
Treating listings with care (damages)
When you visit a listing — especially a paid one — you agree to leave it in the same condition you found it (or better). Don't damage property, mistreat animals, or leave a mess for the next visitor.
If a listing owner reports verifiable damage caused by your visit, we may assist in coordinating a damage claim, and your payment method on file may be charged for the documented cost of repairs or cleaning, in addition to any access fee already paid. By using a paid listing you authorize us (and our payment processor, Stripe) to process such a charge against the card you used at checkout. Disputes are handled case-by-case and you can email noreply@prairiedogginit.com to contest one.
Listing owner responsibilities (paid listings)
If you operate a paid listing, you agree that you:
- Have the legal right to grant access to the location at the price and hours you advertise.
- Will keep the location reasonably clean, accessible, and safe during paid hours, and will accurately describe its condition.
- Are solely responsible for compliance with local laws (zoning, health codes, accessibility, taxation), and for reporting income received through the platform — Stripe issues a 1099-K when you cross their reporting threshold.
- Will honor valid tickets and not deny access to a paid visitor without a documented good-faith reason (e.g., the visitor is damaging the location or violating posted rules).
- Acknowledge that the setup fee is non-refundable, and that PrairieDogginIt and Stripe each take a per-purchase fee as disclosed in the monetization flow.
- Will not use the platform to harass, discriminate against, or collect identifying information from visitors beyond what is needed to verify their ticket.
Disputes between users
PrairieDogginIt is not a party to any dispute between a visitor and a listing owner. If you have a problem with a listing, please first try to resolve it directly with the owner. If that fails, email noreply@prairiedogginit.com and we'll review on a best-effort basis. We may, at our sole discretion, refund a visitor, charge a damage fee, or remove a listing — but we are under no obligation to do so.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JArch Designs, its operators, employees, and affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, judgment, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the service or any listing; (b) content you post; (c) your violation of these terms or any law; or (d) your interaction with other users.
Disclaimers
PrairieDogginIt is provided as-is. User-submitted listings may be inaccurate, out of date, or outright wrong. We make no warranty that any listing is actually open, safe, clean, legal to access, or exists at all. You use the information at your own risk and must follow local laws and property rules.
We don't guarantee uninterrupted service. Data can be lost due to bugs, outages, or provider failures.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, JArch Designs and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.
Termination
You can delete your account at any time — email noreply@prairiedogginit.com to start the process. We can suspend or terminate your access if we believe you've violated these terms.
Changes
We'll post updates to these terms on this page. Material changes get a banner or email. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes go to courts located in Dakota County, Minnesota.
