Terms of Use

By using CatchAnything you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What CatchAnything is

CatchAnything is an educational reference about game fish. It is not a fishing regulation authority, a safety service, or a guarantee of anything happening on the water.

Fishing regulations are your responsibility

Size limits, bag limits, licensing requirements, protected species, and closed seasons vary by state, province, county, and individual water body, and they change without notice. Nothing on this site is legal advice or a substitute for checking with your wildlife agency. Always confirm current regulations before you fish, and before you keep anything.

Accuracy

We research and review our species content, and we will correct errors when we learn of them. Even so, fish behavior varies enormously by water body, weather, and year. Treat what you read here as a well-informed starting point, not a certainty.

Safety

Fishing involves real risk, including drowning, hooks, weather, boat traffic, and wildlife. You are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of anyone with you.

Your content

When features allow you to post catches, photographs, questions, or comments, you keep ownership of what you post. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display and distribute it on the site. Do not post anything unlawful, misleading, or that you do not have the right to share. We may remove content and suspend accounts at our discretion. [CONFIRM THIS LANGUAGE BEFORE ANY USER-GENERATED CONTENT FEATURE SHIPS.]

Our content

The text, structure, and design of this site belong to [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. Images may be licensed from third parties or in the public domain; attribution is shown alongside each image. You may quote and link to us. Do not republish substantial portions without permission.

Disclaimer and liability

The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. [SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT THESE EXCLUSIONS. Have counsel confirm the wording and any cap on liability.]

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], and disputes will be resolved in the courts of [VENUE]. [CONFIRM. Consider whether you want an arbitration clause; that is a decision with real consequences.]
