Legal Notice

This Legal Notice applies to products and information provided by Anderson Elk Antlers (“AEA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) through our website and online store.

Our products are made with natural materials and many are handcrafted. Certain products, including elk antler dog chews and fire-starting tools, involve inherent risks when used. Please read all product descriptions, safety information, warnings, instructions, and care guidance before purchasing or using any Anderson Elk Antlers product.

This Legal Notice supplements our Terms of Service and other policies posted on our website.

1. Dog Chew Safety & Disclaimer

For dogs only.

Elk antler is a natural, extremely durable material intended as a chew and is not intended to be consumed as food.

Because every dog is different, no chew can be guaranteed to be appropriate or completely risk-free for every animal.

Supervision Is Required

Always supervise your dog while using an antler chew.

Never leave a dog unattended with an antler chew.

The purchaser and/or pet owner is responsible for monitoring the animal while the chew is being used and determining when continued use is no longer appropriate.

Choosing an Appropriate Chew

Select an appropriately sized and suitable chew based on your dog's:

• size and weight;

• age;

• chewing habits and intensity;

• dental condition; and

• individual needs.

Do not allow your dog to swallow large pieces or attempt to consume the entire chew.

If you are uncertain which size or type of antler chew is appropriate for your dog, contact Anderson Elk Antlers for general product-selection information and consult your veterinarian regarding your dog's individual health or dental needs.

Inspect Before and During Use

Inspect the antler chew regularly before and during use.

Remove and discard the chew immediately if it:

• becomes small enough to swallow;

• develops sharp or excessively worn edges;

• cracks;

• splinters;

• breaks into pieces that may present a swallowing or choking hazard; or

• otherwise becomes damaged or unsafe.

Replace the chew when necessary.

Dental, Choking, and Ingestion Risks

Antler is a naturally hard material.

As with other hard dog chews, chewing antler may involve inherent risks including:

• tooth or dental damage;

• choking;

• swallowing pieces of the chew;

• mouth or gum injury; and

• gastrointestinal injury or complications resulting from ingestion.

Dogs with aggressive chewing habits, weakened teeth, existing dental concerns, or other individual conditions may have an increased risk of injury.

Antler chews are not appropriate for every dog.

If you have concerns about whether an antler chew is appropriate for your dog, consult your veterinarian before use.

Customer Responsibility

The purchaser and/or pet owner is responsible for:

• selecting an appropriate chew;

• supervising the dog during use;

• inspecting the chew regularly;

• following all safety information and instructions provided;

• removing the chew when it becomes worn, damaged, or too small; and

• determining whether the product remains appropriate for the individual dog.

By purchasing and using an Anderson Elk Antlers dog chew, you acknowledge that dog chews involve inherent risks and agree to use the product responsibly and in accordance with the safety information provided.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Anderson Elk Antlers is not responsible for injury, illness, dental damage, choking, ingestion-related complications, or other harm resulting from improper use, lack of supervision, failure to follow safety instructions, use of a damaged or excessively worn chew, or use of a chew that is inappropriate for the individual dog.

Nothing in this Legal Notice is intended to waive or limit any legal rights, remedies, warranties, or protections that cannot legally be waived or limited.

2. Veterinary and Health Disclaimer

Information provided by Anderson Elk Antlers regarding dog chews, sizing, chewing habits, product selection, or general pet use is provided for informational purposes only.

Anderson Elk Antlers does not provide veterinary, medical, dental, nutritional, or other professional healthcare advice.

Information on our website should not be used as a substitute for advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a licensed veterinarian or other qualified professional.

If your animal has existing dental conditions, health concerns, unusual chewing behavior, or experiences an adverse reaction while using a product, discontinue use and seek appropriate veterinary care.

3. Natural Product Disclaimer

Elk antler is a natural material, and no two pieces are exactly alike.

Natural variations may include differences in:

• color;

• shape;

• length;

• diameter;

• weight;

• thickness;

• density;

• texture;

• curvature;

• exterior markings;

• interior marrow appearance; and

• overall appearance.

These characteristics are part of the natural material and generally are not considered defects.

Because each antler is naturally unique, the product received may not look exactly like the antler pictured on our website.

Product photographs are representative. Lighting, photography, computer monitors, phones, and other displays may also affect how colors and details appear.

4. Handcrafted Product Disclaimer

Many Anderson Elk Antlers products are handmade using elk antler and other natural materials.

Handcrafted products may contain minor variations in size, shape, placement, finish, color, texture, or appearance.

These differences reflect the handmade nature of our products and make each item unique.

Minor natural or handcrafted variations generally are not considered defects.

5. Fire-Starting Products & Fire Safety

Certain Anderson Elk Antlers products, including ferro rods and other fire-starting tools, are designed to create sparks and assist with starting fires.

These products must be used responsibly and with extreme care.

By purchasing or using a fire-starting product, the purchaser assumes responsibility for its safe and lawful use.

Users are responsible for:

• using the product only for its intended purpose;

• using the product in an appropriate and fire-safe location;

• keeping the product away from children and unauthorized users;

• keeping combustible materials appropriately controlled;

• having suitable fire-control or extinguishing equipment available;

• never leaving a fire unattended;

• completely extinguishing fires after use; and

• following all applicable laws, regulations, campground rules, fire restrictions, and burn bans.

Do not use fire-starting products in prohibited areas or during applicable burn bans or fire restrictions.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Anderson Elk Antlers is not responsible for fires, burns, bodily injury, property damage, environmental damage, or other loss resulting from misuse, negligent use, unsupervised use, unauthorized use, failure to follow safety precautions, or use contrary to applicable law.

These products are not intended to be used as toys and should be kept away from infants, young children, pets, or others who may place small components in their mouths.

Customers are responsible for using and storing jewelry and accessories appropriately.

9. Product Information

Anderson Elk Antlers makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions, measurements, photographs, sizing information, safety information, and other product details.

Because many products are natural and handcrafted, exact dimensions, weights, colors, shapes, and appearances may vary.

Where measurements or weights are provided, minor variations may occur unless a product listing specifically states otherwise.
