Terms of Use & Disclaimers
YipDogWhistle · Effective 2026-07-30
YipDogWhistle ("Yip", "the app") is made by Mosaic Paradigm LLC ("we", "us"). By downloading or using the app or this website you agree to these terms. The app is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement; these terms add the product-specific points below.
Not professional advice
Yip is a training tool, not a trainer. Nothing in the app or on this site is veterinary, behavioral, or other professional advice. For health concerns, aggression, anxiety, or any serious behavioral issue, consult a qualified veterinarian or a certified trainer or behaviorist. The app's training content describes common, widely used techniques; whether and how to use them with your dog is your decision and your responsibility.
No guarantee of results
Training outcomes depend on the dog, the handler, consistency, and circumstances. We make no promise that your dog will learn, respond to, or keep responding to any cue. Progress numbers shown in the app describe your logged sessions; they are not a prediction.
Safety and responsible use
— Never rely on the app as your only means of controlling a dog.
A recall can fail — any recall, trained by any method. Keep your dog
leashed where the law or the situation requires it, and never rely on a
recall cue near roads, livestock, wildlife, or other hazards.
— Yip caps its output at a safe level and ships conservative defaults, but
actual loudness varies by device and surroundings. Do not play tones close
to any animal's or person's ear, and stop using any cue your dog reacts to
with distress.
— You are responsible for complying with local laws (leash laws, noise
rules) and for your dog's behavior at all times.
The app is provided "as is"
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the app and this website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any sound will reproduce identically on every device.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mosaic Paradigm LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including injury to or loss of an animal, personal injury, or property damage — arising from use of or inability to use the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits; in those places these apply to the fullest extent the law permits.
Changes
We may update these terms as the product evolves; the effective date above changes when we do. Material changes will be stated plainly.
