Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the You Can Fish website (youcanfish.com, the "Site"), operated by Avida LLC ("we," "us," "our"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

Educational purpose, not professional advice

You Can Fish is an educational resource for anglers. The content is provided for general informational purposes only and is not professional, legal, safety, or financial advice. Fishing involves inherent risks, on the water and around equipment, and you are responsible for your own safety and judgment.

Always verify fishing regulations

Fishing laws — including size limits, bag limits, seasons, gear restrictions, protected species, and license requirements — vary by state, province, territory, and individual body of water, and they change frequently. Any regulatory information on the Site is a general guide only and may be out of date. Always confirm current rules with your local fish and wildlife agency before you fish. You are solely responsible for fishing legally and ethically.

Accuracy and "we show our work"

We strive to make the Site accurate and to cite credible sources. Even so, we make no warranty that the content is complete, current, or error-free, and conditions, products, and regulations change over time. Use your own judgment and verify anything important.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Avida LLC and its contributors are not liable for any loss, injury, or damage arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content. The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

The content on the Site — text, images, graphics, and design — is owned by Avida LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. You may view and share links to the Site for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of the content without our written permission.

External links

The Site links to third-party websites we don't control, including sources we cite and manufacturer or retailer pages. We provide these links for convenience and reference; we don't endorse and aren't responsible for the content, products, or practices of those sites.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Avida LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
