Terms & Conditions

Effective date: July 19, 2026

1. About this site

pickleandthepuppy.com is the official website for the children’s book The Pickle, the Patch, and the Puppy by Jason Plotkin, published by Pinder Plotkin Legal Team (“we,” “us”). By using this site, you agree to these terms.

2. Not legal advice; no attorney-client relationship

The information on this site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Although the author is a Maryland attorney, using this site, downloading materials, or submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need legal guidance, contact a licensed attorney directly.

3. Not medical or psychological advice

The Bravery Ladder, the Bravery Journal, and related materials are encouragement tools for families — not therapy, and not a substitute for professional care. If your child’s fear or anxiety is severe, worsening, or persistent, please talk with your pediatrician or a licensed child mental health professional.

4. Your license to use our printables

The book, illustrations, journal, certificates, and all site materials are protected by copyright and belong to Jason Plotkin and Pinder Plotkin Legal Team or their licensors. We’re glad for you to download and print the free materials for personal, family, classroom, library, or therapy-practice use. You may not sell them, modify them, or redistribute them commercially without written permission.

5. Do not submit confidential information

Please don’t submit confidential or time-sensitive information through this site’s forms. Website submissions are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

6. Third-party links

This site links to third-party sites (such as Amazon, DogsBite.org, and pinderplotkin.com). We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or policies.

7. Email and consent to contact

When you check the consent box on one of our forms, you agree to receive emails from us — delivering the Bravery Journal, rung certificates, tips, and occasional updates about the book. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and one click ends them. We comply with CAN-SPAM. If you ever provide a phone number, we will only contact you by phone or text with your consent, and you can opt out by replying STOP.

8. Disclaimers

This site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantees about accuracy or completeness and disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, this site or its materials — including direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by Maryland law. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in Maryland state or federal courts.

11. Changes

We may update these terms at any time; the effective date above will change when we do. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.
