Terms

Terms of Service

A short, plain-language agreement for using bhdrv.com.

Who operates this site

bhdrv.com is operated by Cartwheel, LLC, a South Dakota limited liability company, with a principal office in Sioux City, SD. Basset Hound Down is a trade name (d/b/a) of Cartwheel, LLC. In these terms, "we", "us", and "this site" mean Cartwheel, LLC operating under that trade name. Visitors to this site are contracting with Cartwheel, LLC, not with any individual.

What this site is

bhdrv.com is a family-friendly website featuring road-trip media, blog posts, light interactive games, an AI chat experience built around two basset hounds (Frankie and Henrietta) and their cat sister (Piper), and a postcard send-a-message feature. It is provided for entertainment.

Acceptable use

AI features

The campfire chat and the postcard auto-reply features may use third-party AI services (currently Google Gemini) to generate responses. AI replies are written in-character and may be inaccurate, fanciful, or out-of-date. Do not rely on AI replies for medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions.

Payments

Card payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your card number. See the Payments and card data section of the privacy page for the full statement.

No warranty

This site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by South Dakota law, Cartwheel, LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by South Dakota law, Cartwheel, LLC and its members, agents, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site. Total liability for any claim is limited to the lesser of fifty US dollars or the amount you paid us (which is currently zero, because the site is free to use).

Children and family-friendly stance

This site is built to be family-friendly and G-rated. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information here, contact us via the postcard porch on the home page so we can remove it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Sioux City, SD.
