Bad faith conduct

The World Pedigrees Services depend on members acting honestly and in good faith towards the data and towards each other. "Bad faith conduct" means any use of the Services that is dishonest, deliberately misleading, malicious, or intended to disadvantage, harass or deceive another user or Wild Systems. Without limitation, it includes:

claiming to be the owner or breeder of a dog when you are not, or keeping such a claim after you know it is wrong;
entering show results, awards, titles or other data that you know or suspect to be false, or that you are not entitled to enter;
deliberately adding false data, or removing, damaging or reversing accurate data, including other members' correct changes;
using owner or breeder requests, reminders, approvals or rejections to harass, pressure or obstruct another member, or repeatedly making requests that you know will not be approved;
using the owner or breeder contact details shown on reports, or any other member's details, for any purpose other than genuine contact about the dog concerned;
opening further accounts to get around a suspension, a restriction, a limit, or a decision made by Wild Systems or a convenor; and
misleading Wild Systems or a convenor in a complaint, dispute or request.

Repeated bad faith conduct will result in the suspension or removal of your account, solely at the discretion of Wild Systems. Wild Systems decides whether conduct is in bad faith, and whether it is repeated, and is not required to give a warning first. A single serious instance may also be dealt with in the same way. Wild Systems may also, at its sole discretion, remove or reverse any Content or change you have made, remove you as the owner or breeder of any dog, cancel any request you have made, and restrict any feature of the Services for your account, whether or not your account is suspended or removed. These steps are in addition to the rights in the "Termination and restriction of access" section below.

You acknowledge that Wild Systems may or may not pre-screen Content, but that Wild Systems and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any Content that is available via the WorldPedigrees Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Wild Systems and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOU or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by Wild Systems or submitted to Wild Systems, including without limitation information in Wild Systems Message Boards and in all other parts of the WorldPedigrees Services.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that Wild Systems may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce the TOU; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Wild Systems, its users and the public.

Terms of use for world pedigrees participating sites and services

These Terms of Use apply to you whenever you access or use any World Pedigrees Services. When you use the World Pedigrees Services to gain access to any World Pedigrees participating site or service, the terms and conditions associated with that site or service may also apply to you. Please refer to the applicable terms of use associated with each participating site or service that you visit.

Content, data and photos you submit

"Your Content" means all data, information, text, pedigree records, images, photographs and other material that you upload, enter, submit or otherwise make available through the World Pedigrees Services.

You warrant that you own the copyright in Your Content, or that it is information which is in the public domain, or that you otherwise have all rights, consents and permissions necessary to submit it and to grant the licence set out below, and that Your Content does not infringe any existing copyright, privacy or any other rights of any third party. You warrant that you have full authority to enter into this Agreement and grant the rights granted to Wild Systems without resulting in a breach of any obligation you may have.

Except as set out below under "Withdrawal of data by agreement", by submitting Your Content (including any data and any photographs or images) you grant to Wild Systems a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and fully sub-licensable licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly display and otherwise exploit Your Content, in any media now known or later developed, for any purpose connected with the World Pedigrees Services or the business of Wild Systems. This licence continues forever and survives the closure, suspension or deletion of your account and any termination of these Terms of Use.

Wild Systems may modify Your Content, extract parts of it, or combine it with other data to create derivative works. In the event that these derivative works are more than 10% different from the original, you agree that Wild Systems owns the copyright in that derivative work.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert, any moral rights you may have in Your Content in connection with its use as described in these Terms of Use. You acknowledge that you are not entitled to any payment or compensation in respect of the submission or use of Your Content.

Withdrawal of data by agreement. In some cases Wild Systems may expressly agree (including by email) that particular data may be submitted on the basis that you may later withdraw it. Where Wild Systems has given that consent, the licence above is not irrevocable in respect of that data: you may request its withdrawal, and Wild Systems will, within a reasonable time, stop using and remove that data from the active World Pedigrees Services. This does not require Wild Systems to remove or recall the data to the extent it has already been aggregated, anonymised, incorporated into a derivative work, disclosed to or relied upon by third parties, or retained in backups or as reasonably required for legal or record-keeping purposes, and does not affect the permanent change history described below. Unless Wild Systems has expressly agreed to withdrawal in this way, all Content is submitted on the perpetual and irrevocable basis set out above.

Recording of your activity

You acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of operating and securing the Services, moderation, resolving disputes, maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the pedigree data, and complying with our legal obligations, Wild Systems records and retains a log of your activity on the World Pedigrees Services. This includes, without limitation, your logins, the records and pages you access, searches you perform, and every addition, edit, correction or deletion you make to data. These records may be retained indefinitely and may be used and disclosed as described in these Terms of Use and in our Privacy Policy, including to identify who submitted or changed particular Content.

Editing data and public change history

The ability to add to or change data on the World Pedigrees Services is a feature available only to members who hold a current paid membership ("Pro", "Breeder" or any higher level). Some breed tables are closed to member changes; those tables may only be changed by the convenor responsible for them. Wild Systems and its convenors may, in their sole discretion, accept, reject, reverse or modify any change, and may open or close any breed table to member editing at any time.

You acknowledge and agree that every change you make to data is recorded together with your account name (not your email address or any other private account details) and forms part of a permanent change history that is visible to, and may be viewed by, all other users of the World Pedigrees Services. This history can be viewed for any record from its "View change history" menu, and shows who made each change, when, and what was changed. By making a change you consent to that change, and your association with it, being displayed publicly and retained indefinitely. You must not make any change that is false, misleading, malicious, or that you are not authorised to make, and you remain responsible for every change made through your account.

Owner and breeder claims

Members with a Breeder (or higher) membership may declare themselves the owner or breeder of a dog. You may only do so if you genuinely are that dog's owner or breeder. While you hold that role:

your name and email address are included on all pedigree reports for that dog, in its Owner or Breeder field, where they can be seen by anyone who views those reports. By declaring yourself owner or breeder you consent to that display. You can end it at any time by removing yourself from the role;
the entry is locked so that only its owner and breeder can edit or delete it, and only they can add, edit or delete the dog's show results; and
you may be asked by another member to approve them as the dog's other owner or breeder. You agree to consider such requests in good faith. Requests that are not decided are followed up with reminder emails and cancel automatically, as described on the Owners and breeders page.

A claim of ownership or breeding on the World Pedigrees Services is a statement made by the member concerned. It is not verified by Wild Systems, is not a registration, and is not evidence of legal ownership. Where there is a dispute, Wild Systems may, at its sole discretion and on whatever information it considers sufficient, remove, transfer or refuse any claim. Wild Systems is not responsible for resolving ownership disputes between members or for any loss arising from a claim made by another member.

Show results

Members who are the owner or breeder of a dog may record its show results, including shows, dates, classes, placings, awards, titles, points, judges and handlers. Show results are Content and the section "Content, data and photos you submit" applies to them. You must only enter results that the dog actually achieved and that you believe to be accurate. Show results are not verified by Wild Systems or by any kennel club or registry, and are not an official record.

Show results are public. They appear on the dog's Show Results report and pedigree pages, and the most recently added results appear in "Latest show results" on the World Pedigrees home page together with the account name of the member who entered them. The ranking of awards used in reports (for example, which awards are listed as a dog's "top" results) is decided by Wild Systems for display purposes only and does not represent the view of any kennel club or registry.

Wild Systems may publish sample or demonstration data, including sample show results, so that users can see how a feature works. Reports based on such data are marked "Sample only". Sample data does not describe real results and must not be relied upon or reproduced as if it did.

Data available on the world pedigrees services

All data that is made available to view and/or download from the Web pages that are part of the World Pedigrees Services ("Data") is owned by and is the copyrighted work of Wild Systems and/or its suppliers. Except for personal use of the data, any reproduction or redistribution of the Data is expressly prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Violators will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COPYING OR REPRODUCTION OF THE DATA TO ANY OTHER SERVER OR LOCATION FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR REDISTRIBUTION IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED .

All Data is supplied "as is" without any warranty as to its accuracy or completeness and any use of this Data is entirely at the users own risk.

Availability and maintenance

Wild Systems does not guarantee that the World Pedigrees Services will be available at any particular time. From time to time the Services may be placed in maintenance mode, with or without notice. While they are, searching, pedigrees and reports may be unavailable, members other than the site administrator may be unable to log in, and members already logged in may be returned to the home page. Work in progress that has not been saved may be lost. Maintenance mode does not extend or alter the term of any membership.

the outcome you are seeking; and
any information that supports your complaint.

We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and aim to provide a substantive response or resolution within 30 days.

Termination and restriction of access

Wild Systems reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to the World Pedigrees Services or any portion thereof at any time, without notice.

Without limiting the above, repeated bad faith conduct, or any breach of these Terms of Use, will result in the suspension or removal of your account, solely at the discretion of Wild Systems. Suspension may be for any period Wild Systems decides, and Wild Systems may remove an account permanently. If your account is suspended or removed you must not open or use another account without the written permission of Wild Systems. Removing an account does not withdraw the licence you have granted over Your Content, and Wild Systems may keep, correct, reassign or remove any Content, change or claim associated with that account. Where an account is suspended or removed because of bad faith conduct or a breach of these Terms of Use, Wild Systems is not obliged to refund any part of a membership fee, except where the law requires it.

Wild Systems may also terminate or suspend your access to the World Pedigrees Services for inactivity, which is defined as failing to sign in to the Services for an extended period of time, as determined by Wild Systems. Upon termination of your World Pedigrees account, your right to use the World Pedigrees Services immediately ceases.
