All content on TinyFrolic — including but not limited to articles, care guides, infographics, photographs, illustrations, page layouts, logos, and the TinyFrolic name and brand — is the intellectual property of TinyFrolic.com or its licensed content providers, and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

Nothing on this Site should be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademark or copyright without the express written permission of TinyFrolic or the relevant third-party owner.

Medical & veterinary disclaimer

Our content is educational — not a substitute for a vet

TinyFrolic publishes hamster care and husbandry information for general educational purposes only. Our articles are written with care and cross-referenced with current small-animal research, but they are not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Every hamster is different. Symptoms, behaviours, and health situations vary between individual animals, species, ages, and environments. What applies to one hamster may not apply to yours.

Always see a vet. If your hamster is unwell, injured, or displaying unusual behaviour, please consult a qualified exotic or small-animal veterinarian promptly. Do not delay veterinary care based on information found on TinyFrolic or any other website.

TinyFrolic accepts no liability for any harm, loss, or injury to any animal or person arising from reliance on information published on this Site.

Affiliate links & advertising

How we disclose sponsored and monetised content

Some links on TinyFrolic may be affiliate links. This means that if you click one of these links and make a purchase, TinyFrolic may receive a small commission from the retailer — at no additional cost to you.

We only link to products we genuinely believe are useful, appropriate, and good value for hamster owners. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions or recommendations.

  • All affiliate links and sponsored content on TinyFrolic are clearly disclosed, in compliance with relevant advertising standards.
  • We never accept payment to recommend a product we wouldn’t otherwise endorse.
  • Clicking an affiliate link takes you to a third-party retailer. TinyFrolic is not responsible for prices, availability, product quality, or the retailer’s own terms of sale.
Our content is editorially independent. Affiliate income helps us keep TinyFrolic free and ad-light, but it never changes what we write or recommend.

User submissions & comments

When you send us messages, photos, or comments

When you contact us, leave a comment, or submit photos or other content to TinyFrolic, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, reproduce, and publish that content in connection with operating and promoting TinyFrolic (for example, sharing your hamster photo on our social media, with your permission).

You retain ownership of content you submit. We will always credit you and will never use your submission in a way you have not consented to. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing contact@tinyfrolic.com.

By submitting content to us, you confirm that:

  • The content is your own and does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights.
  • The content does not contain anything false, defamatory, offensive, or harmful.
  • You have the right to grant the licence described above.

TinyFrolic reserves the right to decline, remove, or not publish any submission, at our sole discretion and without obligation to explain why.

Third-party links & websites

We’re not responsible for where links lead

TinyFrolic may contain links to third-party websites, retailers, organisations, and resources that we believe may be useful to our readers. These links are provided for convenience and information only.

TinyFrolic has no control over the content, policies, or practices of any linked third-party website, and we do not endorse, sponsor, or assume responsibility for them. Following a link from TinyFrolic to a third-party site means you are leaving our site and are subject to that site’s own terms and privacy policy.

We check outbound links for quality and relevance, but websites change over time. If you find a broken link or a link to content that seems inappropriate, please let us know at contact@tinyfrolic.com.

Limitation of liability

The extent of our legal responsibility to you

TinyFrolic provides all content on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties of any kind — whether express or implied — including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TinyFrolic and its owners, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any:

  • Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this Site

  • Inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in any content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages
  • Interruption, delay, or inability to access the Site for any reason

This limitation applies regardless of whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Governing law & jurisdiction

Which legal framework applies to these terms

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to your use of TinyFrolic shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to any conflict of law principles.

The failure of TinyFrolic to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of those rights.
