KennelPort

Terms of use

Effective 5 November 2026. Last updated 5 November 2026.

1. This agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and KennelOS ("KennelOS", "we", "us"), which runs KennelPort. They cover KennelPort: the breeder websites at kennelport.com addresses and on breeders' own domains, the Site Manager (manage.kennelport.com), the link from KennelOS (api.kennelport.com), and the puppy portal. By using any of them you agree to these terms and to KennelPort's privacy policy. If you use KennelPort for a business, you agree on its behalf.

Different parts apply to different people: sections 2 to 9 to breeders and the editors they bring in, section 10 to families using a puppy portal, and section 11 to anyone sending a form on a breeder's site. The rest applies to everyone.

2. What KennelPort is

KennelPort hosts websites for dog breeders. We set up each site, and the breeder then runs it: the dogs, litters, puppies, photos, pages and messages are theirs. Some sites also have a puppy portal, where the breeder's families follow their puppy from the signed contract to home and beyond. KennelOS is optional: a KennelPort site works fully without it.

3. Your account (breeders and editors)

• By invitation. There's no sign-up. We invite a site's owner, and an editor to help them if they ask. You sign in with your email and a code we send you; keep access to that email, and keep your devices locked.
• Owners and editors. An editor can do almost everything an owner can, including linking KennelOS. Only the owner can delete the site, unlink KennelOS or stop a linked device. The owner is responsible for what their editors do on the site.
• We can see your site. To set it up and support you, we can see and change every site's content. We do that only to run the service, fix problems you report, or as section 14 allows.

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, and able to make a binding agreement.

4. Fees

KennelPort doesn't take payment through the service. If a fee applies to your site, we'll agree it with you separately, in writing, before you're charged.

5. Your content is yours

Everything you or your editors put on your site (text, photos, videos, prices, reviews you approve, messages) stays yours. You give us permission to store it, copy it, resize photos, show it on your site and in link previews, and send it where you ask (for example, a share to Facebook), only as needed to run your site. That permission ends when the content is deleted, apart from the copies section 8 describes.

You're responsible for your content: that it's accurate (health results, registrations, prices, a puppy's status), that you have the right to every photo and video you post, that reviews you publish are genuine, and that your sales of animals follow the law where you and your buyers are. We don't check what you publish, and we're not a party to anything between you and a buyer.

6. Your site's address and your own domain

Your site's kennelport.com address is ours to give and stays reserved for you while your site is open. If you use your own domain, you keep it and are responsible for its registration and for pointing it at KennelPort as we ask. We may need to change a setup step if a provider changes how it works; we'll tell you first.

7. Families' and visitors' information

Your site's forms, inbox, waitlist and puppy portal hold details about other people. You're responsible for using them lawfully, for answering their questions and requests about their information, and, for a portal, for having each family's agreement to what it shows. When a portal carries your referral or affiliate links, or emails families about products, you're responsible for following each program's own rules and the law on disclosing referral links and on promotional email.

8. Closing your site

• You can close it at any time from the Site Manager (Delete my site, owner only, after a fresh sign-in). Download a copy first: the closing screen offers it.
• Closing deletes your site at once: every page, dog, litter, photo, file, message, sign-in and link key. Our database provider keeps its own recovery copy for up to 30 days, after which it's gone; we can't turn that off or restore from it for you. Emails already sent stay in the inboxes they reached.
• Your address shows a closed notice. Old links show "This breeder is no longer hosting with KennelPort", and the address is never given to anyone else unless you ask us to release it.
• We may suspend a site (hide it but keep everything) or close it under section 14.

9. Linking KennelOS

If you link KennelOS Pro, what it sends lands in your site's draft, and nothing reaches your visitors until you publish it. Each device links with its own one-time code. Unlinking stops every device, and what came from KennelOS stays on your site as ordinary content you can edit. Your use of KennelOS is governed by its own terms.

10. For families using a puppy portal

The portal belongs to your breeder's site. Your agreement about your puppy, its price, health guarantee and anything you buy is with the breeder, not with KennelPort; questions about them go to the breeder. Use the portal only for your own family, and keep its sign-in to yourself. Photos and stories you add stay yours; if you mark a photo OK for the breeder to use, they may post it. Product links in the portal may earn the breeder a referral fee. Your account and what you added are deleted after a long time without use, with warnings first, or at once if you delete it yourself, as KennelPort's privacy policy explains.

11. Sending a form on a breeder's site

Inquiries, reviews and applications you send go to that breeder, who decides what to do with them. Send only honest information about yourself. A review appears only if the breeder approves it.

12. Acceptable use

Please don't:

• use KennelPort for anything unlawful, including unlawful sales of animals or fraud;
• publish anything you don't have the right to, or that is false, abusive, deceptive or harmful, or another person's private details without their agreement;
• use your site's forms, inbox or emails to send spam;
• try to get into someone else's site, account, portal or messages;
• probe, overload or disrupt the service, or get around its limits;
• use bots or scripts against the sign-in or the forms.

If you find a security problem, please email us before telling anyone else.

13. Limits and changes

Each site has limits on storage, photos and albums, which we set to keep the service running for everyone; the Site Manager says so if you reach one. We keep improving KennelPort, so features and templates will change. If we ever stop running KennelPort, we'll tell site owners well ahead of time so you can download a copy of your site.

14. Suspending or ending access

You can stop using KennelPort at any time by closing your site (section 8). We may suspend or close a site, or an account, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect visitors, families or the service. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to download a copy. Sections 5, 7 and 15 to 20 continue after this agreement ends.

15. Our software and name

The KennelPort service, Site Manager, templates, name and logo belong to us. We give you permission to use them as these terms allow, and nothing more. Your content (section 5) is yours, not ours. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely.

16. Other services

KennelPort runs on Cloudflare and sends email through Resend. Videos and posts you embed from YouTube, Facebook and other sites, and links you share there, are under those sites' own terms; we're not responsible for their services.

17. Disclaimers

KENNELPORT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT KENNELPORT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL NEVER BE LOST. Keep your own copy of anything that matters.

18. Limits on liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, KENNELOS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF KENNELPORT, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ABOUT KENNELPORT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR KENNELPORT IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, AND US $50.

Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits a right you have as a consumer that can't be waived by contract, or liability that can't legally be limited.

19. Governing law and disputes

If something goes wrong, email us first. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be heard by courts in the United States, unless the law where you live as a consumer gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts or under your local law.

20. General

These terms and KennelPort's privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about KennelPort, apart from any fee agreed under section 4. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term straight away, we haven't given up the right to. You can't transfer this agreement without our agreement; we may transfer it to anyone who takes over KennelPort, and these terms would still protect you.

21. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the dates at the top, and if a change matters to you, we'll tell site owners in the Site Manager (and families in the portal) before it takes effect. If you keep using KennelPort after that, you accept the new terms.
