These terms apply when you use shelterandstock.com. Shelter and Stock is a general-audience preparedness publication based in Harris County, Texas. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
General information, not professional or emergency advice
The site provides general educational information. It is not emergency, medical, legal, financial, engineering or other professional advice. Conditions vary by household, location, product and event. During an emergency, follow instructions from local authorities and call 911 where appropriate. Check current official instructions and product manuals before acting.
Age and contact form
The site is intended for a general audience. You must be at least 13 to submit the contact form. Information sent through the form must be accurate, lawful and yours to send. Do not send confidential medical, financial, identity, account or security information.
Products, affiliate links and external sites
Product descriptions and comparisons are informational. Prices, specifications and availability can change. A product mention is not a guarantee that it is safe, sufficient or suitable for every household.
Some links may be affiliate links. If you buy through one, Shelter and Stock may receive a commission without changing your price. Affiliate relationships are disclosed near the link and on the affiliate disclosure.
External sites control their own products, content, availability, privacy and terms. Shelter and Stock is not responsible for an external site merely because it is linked.
Acceptable use
You may read, print and share a link to a public page for personal use. You may not break the law, interfere with the site, send spam or malware, impersonate another person, scrape the site in bulk, bypass security, or republish substantial site content without written permission.
Intellectual property
The site's original text, design, graphics, photos, data compilations and code belong to Shelter and Stock or their licensors and are protected by applicable law. Other names and marks belong to their owners. See the copyright page for permission and notice information.
No warranties
The site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shelter and Stock disclaims warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability and security. Some laws do not allow every exclusion, so an exclusion may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shelter and Stock and its operators, contractors and agents are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost data, revenue, profits or goodwill arising from the site. Total liability for a claim related to the site will not exceed the amount you paid Shelter and Stock during the 12 months before the claim. Nothing limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.
Changes, governing law and contact
These terms may change as the site changes. The date above will be updated. Texas law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. A matter that must be heard in court will be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Harris County, Texas, unless applicable law gives you another right.
Questions can be sent through the contact form. The Spanish version is at Términos de uso. If the versions differ, the English version controls.
