13. Reviews, Photos, Videos and Other Content
We love seeing and hearing about the experiences people and their cats have with Inventor Cat.
Content You Publish Publicly
From time to time, people may publicly share reviews, comments, testimonials, articles, social media posts or other content relating to Inventor Cat or our products.
Where appropriate and permitted by law, we may refer to, link to, share through functionality provided by the relevant platform, or quote limited extracts from publicly available content about Inventor Cat.
Where appropriate, we will identify or credit the original source.
The original creator retains ownership of their content. The fact that content is publicly available does not transfer ownership of that content to Inventor Cat.
Where additional permission or a licence is legally required—for example, to reproduce a third party's photograph, video, article or other protected content in our own advertising or marketing—we will seek the appropriate permission before doing so.
Content Sent Privately to Inventor Cat
You may also send us photographs, videos, messages, stories, testimonials or other content privately, including by email, direct message or through our customer-support channels.
Sending something to us privately does not automatically give Inventor Cat permission to publish or use it for advertising or promotional purposes.
If we would like to use privately submitted content publicly or for marketing, advertising, promotional campaigns or similar purposes, we will ask for your permission where required before doing so.
You retain ownership of your original content.
Content Submitted Specifically for Sharing
Sometimes we may specifically invite you to submit content for publication or promotion—for example, through an Inventor Cat community feature, customer campaign, competition, testimonial request or user-generated-content submission.
Where this happens, the relevant submission page, campaign or request may explain how we intend to use the content and any permission or licence you grant to Inventor Cat by submitting it.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
You should only submit content that you own or have permission to share.
You must not knowingly provide content that infringes another person's copyright, privacy, intellectual-property or other legal rights.
Where personal information is involved, our use of that information is also subject to our Privacy Policy.
14. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use services provided by third parties, including payment processors, delivery providers and technology platforms.
Third-party websites and services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for websites or services that we do not own or control, except to the extent that applicable law provides otherwise.

Information about how we collect, use, store and protect personal information is provided in our Privacy Policy.
Information about cookies and similar technologies is provided in our Cookie Policy, where applicable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts your statutory rights as a consumer, including rights relating to products that are faulty, damaged, misdescribed or otherwise do not conform to the contract.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
