Website Terms & Conditions

By accessing or using the Site, submitting information, requesting a listing, purchasing a listing, or asking us to create or update content, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or submit information.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a contract to purchase, request, or administer a listing. A parent or legal guardian is responsible for a minor’s use of information found through the Site and for arranging any youth hunt directly with the applicable operator.

DoveLeases provides an informational directory and promotional platform intended to help hunters discover and contact independent landowners, farmers, ranches, outfitters, guides, booking resources, and related outdoor businesses. DoveLeases is not a party to any booking, lease, hunt, waiver, lodging arrangement, meal service, fishing trip, payment, refund, dispute, or other transaction between a visitor and a listed party.

DoveLeases is not a hunting outfitter, guide, landowner, booking agent, real-estate broker, insurance provider, safety inspector, wildlife authority, or legal adviser. No listing creates an employment, partnership, joint-venture, fiduciary, franchise, or agency relationship between DoveLeases and any listed party. Listed parties act independently and are solely responsible for their operations.

A listing, logo, link, description, featured position, or appearance in a “Friends & Outdoor Resources” section does not mean that DoveLeases owns, operates, sponsors, certifies, insures, recommends, or guarantees that person or business. Complimentary placements are not paid sponsorships unless expressly labeled otherwise.

We may review submissions for basic completeness, but we do not promise to independently verify identity, ownership, acreage, location, licenses, insurance, experience, safety practices, availability, bird numbers, habitat, field conditions, amenities, pricing, refunds, or any other claim. Search placement, category labels, maps, geographic descriptions, and summaries may be approximate or supplied by third parties.

Before paying money, traveling, entering property, or participating in an activity, you are responsible for investigating the operator and confirming all material terms directly with that operator. Obtain a written agreement, receipt, directions, cancellation terms, safety rules, and any required waiver from the operator.

You are responsible for confirming, as applicable: the actual property and county; hunt date and time; legal hunting zone; species; price and deposit; refund and weather policy; number of hunters; field assignment; guide or host services; lodging; meals; alcohol rules; dogs; bird cleaning; fishing or cast-and-blast access; equipment; accessibility; and what is or is not included.

Never send payment merely because a person or business appears on the Site. Use reasonable fraud precautions and a payment method appropriate to the transaction. Report suspected impersonation, fraud, expired offers, or materially inaccurate listings to [email protected].

Each hunter and operator is independently responsible for knowing and following all applicable federal, state, county, and local laws and rules. Current official law and agency guidance control over any Site content or listing.

Responsibilities may include, without limitation, hunting licenses and endorsements; Harvest Information Program requirements; hunter education; lawful species identification; seasons and zones; shooting hours; daily and possession limits; lawful means and methods; ammunition restrictions; baiting and migratory-bird rules; landowner permission; trespass rules; firearm transport and use; harvested-bird identification, custody, and transport; and any required permits or records.

DoveLeases does not determine whether a field, feeding practice, crop, water source, hunt format, guide service, lodging, food service, fishing activity, or other offering is lawful. Consult the current Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Outdoor Annual and applicable federal regulations before participating.

Hunting and outdoor recreation involve inherent and other risks, including serious injury, illness, death, and property damage. Risks may arise from firearms and ammunition; other hunters; vehicles, trailers, and equipment; animals and dogs; insects and wildlife; uneven terrain; fences; agricultural operations; water, fishing, and boats; fire; weather, heat, lightning, and flooding; food, alcohol, and lodging; remote locations; and delayed emergency response.

Your participation is voluntary and at your own risk. DoveLeases does not supervise activities, inspect property, provide emergency services, or control the conduct of hunters or operators. Any release, waiver, safety briefing, insurance requirement, or property rule is between you and the operator and does not expand DoveLeases’ duties.

If you submit or administer a listing, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act for the listed operation and to provide all submitted text, photographs, logos, trademarks, contact information, links, prices, and other materials (“Listing Content”). You also represent that Listing Content is accurate, current, lawful, not misleading, and does not infringe or violate another person’s rights.

You are solely responsible for your operation, advertisements, availability, pricing, taxes, deposits, refunds, contracts, waivers, insurance, permits, licenses, guides, employees, contractors, property access, accommodations, food service, safety practices, and compliance with law. You must promptly request correction or removal when information becomes inaccurate, unavailable, expired, or unauthorized.

You may not submit an illegal hunting opportunity; falsely claim ownership, authorization, acreage, amenities, bird numbers, success rates, or availability; impersonate another party; use unauthorized logos or images; conceal material restrictions; or direct users to malicious, deceptive, or unlawful content.

You retain ownership of your Listing Content. By submitting it, you grant DoveLeases a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license during the listing relationship to host, reproduce, display, publish, distribute, link to, and reasonably edit, resize, crop, format, or summarize that content for the Site and DoveLeases’ own social-media, email, search, and promotional materials.

This license is limited to operating and promoting DoveLeases and the submitted listing. It ends within a reasonable time after removal, except for archival copies, backups, previously distributed materials, and records reasonably retained for legal or business purposes. You may request removal by emailing [email protected].

DoveLeases may offer the following options, subject to availability and any written terms shown at the time of purchase or acceptance:

Complimentary reciprocal listing: no listing fee while the listed party maintains an active, reasonably visible link to DoveLeases.com on its own website or another location approved by DoveLeases.

$25 annual standard listing: a standard directory placement for an annual term.

$75 annual featured listing: enhanced or priority visibility for an annual term, which may include featured placement where offered.

Website design services starting at $375: a separate service governed by a separate proposal, scope, price, approval process, and payment terms.

Unless expressly disclosed and agreed otherwise, annual listings do not automatically renew. The term begins when the listing is published or on another date confirmed in writing. Fees are earned once work begins and are non-refundable after publication, except where required by law or approved by DoveLeases in writing. Reciprocal listings may be converted, suspended, or removed if the required backlink is missing, materially obscured, marked to prevent search engines from following it, or otherwise fails the agreed exchange.

DoveLeases may change page design, categories, order, labels, featured areas, or availability of listing options. “Featured” means increased visibility relative to standard listings where the feature is offered; it does not promise a fixed position, exclusivity, impressions, clicks, inquiries, search ranking, bookings, revenue, or any other result.

Advertising and website performance vary. DoveLeases makes no guarantee regarding search-engine indexing or ranking, website traffic, social reach, lead volume or quality, inquiries, bookings, conversion rates, lease occupancy, profit, or return on investment. Search engines and social platforms control their own systems and may change them at any time.

Any traffic, audience, ranking, or performance information is informational only unless a separate signed agreement expressly states a measurable commitment.

DoveLeases may, but is not obligated to, review, edit for length or clarity, categorize, decline, suspend, or remove any listing or content at any time. Reasons may include suspected fraud; illegality; safety concerns; infringement; nonpayment; missing reciprocal link; expired or inaccurate information; complaints; poor user experience; reputational risk; technical needs; or conduct inconsistent with these Terms.

Removal from the directory does not resolve or adjudicate a dispute between a hunter and an operator. DoveLeases may preserve records and cooperate with lawful requests from authorities.

The Site links to independent websites, social accounts, booking pages, payment services, and other resources. DoveLeases does not control and is not responsible for their content, security, accessibility, privacy practices, availability, pricing, transactions, or terms. A link is provided for convenience and is not an endorsement. Use third-party services at your own risk and review their terms and privacy notices.

You may use the Site only for lawful purposes. You may not interfere with Site operation; attempt unauthorized access; introduce malicious code; scrape or harvest personal information in violation of law; send spam; copy the directory to create a competing database; misrepresent affiliation; submit false information; infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or use the Site to facilitate unlawful hunting, trespass, fraud, threats, harassment, or other harmful conduct.

DoveLeases may limit or block access when reasonably necessary to protect the Site, its users, or third parties.

Except for Listing Content and third-party materials, the Site’s design, organization, text, graphics, compilation, branding, and other content are owned by or licensed to DoveLeases and are protected by applicable law. You may view and share links to public Site pages for personal or legitimate business use. No other license is granted.

You may not reproduce, republish, sell, create a substitute directory from, or commercially exploit Site content without prior written permission, except as allowed by law. DoveLeases and its logo are identifiers of the Site operator; third-party names and logos belong to their respective owners.

If you believe Site content infringes your copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other right, email [email protected] with: your name and contact information; identification of the protected work or right; the exact Site location of the disputed material; the basis for your claim; a statement that your report is accurate and made in good faith; and proof of authority to act for the rights holder. We may remove or restrict material while reviewing a complaint.

When you use a Site form or email us, you may voluntarily provide contact details and business information. DoveLeases may use that information to respond, review or publish a requested listing, provide purchased services, maintain records, prevent abuse, improve the Site, and comply with law. Information intended for a public listing is not confidential and may be displayed publicly.

Do not submit sensitive personal information, payment-card data, government identifiers, health information, precise private-property access instructions, gate codes, or information you are not authorized to share. Payment information, if any, should be handled through the designated payment provider rather than ordinary email or free-text fields.

Submitting an inquiry authorizes DoveLeases to contact you about that inquiry and related listing or website services. It does not by itself enroll you in unrelated marketing messages.

The Site is provided on an “as available” basis. DoveLeases may change, suspend, discontinue, correct, or update any part of the Site without notice. Information can become outdated, and technical errors or interruptions may occur. DoveLeases is not required to preserve any listing, submission, or Site feature indefinitely.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, LISTINGS, LINKS, AND SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. DOVELEASES DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

DOVELEASES DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT LISTINGS OR THIRD PARTIES ARE ACCURATE OR TRUSTWORTHY, THAT ANY HUNT WILL BE AVAILABLE, SAFE, LAWFUL, OR SUCCESSFUL, OR THAT ANY USER WILL ACHIEVE A PARTICULAR RESULT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOVELEASES AND ITS OWNER, AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BOOKINGS, OR OPPORTUNITIES; OR INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, FRAUD, PAYMENT LOSS, CANCELLATION, TRESPASS, REGULATORY VIOLATION, OR DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE, A LISTING, A THIRD PARTY, OR AN OUTDOOR ACTIVITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOVELEASES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO DOVELEASES DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $100. THIS LIMIT APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DoveLeases and its owner, affiliates, contractors, and service providers from claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from or related to: your use of the Site; your Listing Content; your operation, property, hunt, lease, service, transaction, or conduct; your breach of these Terms; your violation of law; or your infringement of another person’s rights.

DoveLeases may control the defense of a covered claim, and you agree to cooperate. You may not settle a claim in a manner that imposes liability or obligations on DoveLeases without written consent.

Hunters and listed parties must resolve their own payment, cancellation, service, property, injury, contract, and other disputes. DoveLeases is not obligated to mediate, issue refunds on behalf of an operator, enforce an operator’s rules, or provide another party’s nonpublic information except as required by law. DoveLeases may consider credible reports when deciding whether to edit or remove a listing.

These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any mandatory law, the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Texas.

Before filing a claim, you agree to send a written notice describing the dispute and requested resolution to [email protected] and allow 30 days for an informal resolution, unless immediate relief is reasonably necessary.

DoveLeases may update these Terms by posting the revised version on the Site. Changes apply prospectively from publication unless law requires otherwise. Your continued use after publication means you accept the revised Terms. Material changes to a paid listing during its current term will not retroactively take away the core placement already purchased, except where reasonably necessary for law, safety, security, or Site integrity.

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights or obligations without written consent; DoveLeases may assign these Terms in connection with a transfer of the Site or its business. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, except payment obligations already due.

These Terms, together with any separate written listing confirmation, proposal, invoice, or service agreement, are the entire agreement concerning their subject matter and replace prior discussions on that subject. If a signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls only for the conflicting subject matter. Headings are for convenience only.

Questions, correction requests, removal requests, rights complaints, and legal notices may be sent to [email protected]. Include enough detail for us to identify the relevant page, listing, or issue.
