Legal & Disclaimers

The Quartet may run the Manor, but even they recognize that a few things require proper explanation. The information, stories, products, photographs, illustrations and other materials presented on The Quartet of Gotham City website are provided subject to the following terms and disclaimers.

Effective date: August 16, 2026

General website information

The content on this website is provided for general informational, educational and entertainment purposes.

While reasonable efforts are made to keep information accurate and current, The Quartet of Gotham City does not warrant that all website content will always be complete, current or free from error.

Information may be updated, corrected, expanded or removed from time to time without prior notice.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as professional veterinary, medical, nutritional, legal or other professional advice.

Pet health & wellness disclaimer

The wellness information shared throughout The Quartet of Gotham City reflects the experiences, routines and philosophy of the Quartet and the Butler.

It is intended to provide general information about the foods, ingredients, supplements, routines and wellness practices that form part of life at the Manor.

It is not intended to provide veterinary advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Every dog is different. Nutritional and wellness needs may vary according to age, breed, size, activity level, medical history, medications, existing health conditions and other individual factors.

Pet parents should consult their veterinarian or another appropriately qualified animal-health professional regarding their dog's individual health and nutritional needs, particularly before introducing supplements, new foods or significant changes to an established diet or wellness routine.

The Butler Stack™

The Butler Stack™ describes the fresh foods and selected supplements incorporated into the Quartet's own feeding routine.

It is shared because people frequently ask what Patriot, Petunia, Paddington and Patsy eat and why particular ingredients have become part of their routine.

The Butler Stack™ is not a prescribed feeding program, veterinary protocol or universal nutrition plan.

Not every ingredient or supplement is included in every bowl, and what is suitable for one member of the Quartet may not be appropriate for another dog.

References to individual foods, nutrients and supplements are intended to explain their role within the Manor's own approach to feeding and should not be interpreted as a recommendation that every dog receive the same ingredients or quantities.

The Butler's Functional Dog Treats

The Butler's Functional Dog Treats are formulated and sold as treats for dogs.

They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, and information concerning individual ingredients or areas of formulation should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of a particular health outcome.

Descriptions of ingredients and their role within the formula are provided to explain the thinking behind the formulation.

Dogs with known allergies, food sensitivities, existing medical conditions or specialized dietary requirements should have the complete ingredient list reviewed before feeding.

Where appropriate, pet parents should consult their veterinarian regarding whether a particular product is suitable for their dog.

The complete commercial ingredient declaration and feeding information provided on the product packaging should be relied upon when using the product.

Ingredient & nutrition information

Ingredient and nutrition information appearing on this website is intended to help visitors understand the ingredients used within the Manor and The Butler's Functional Dog Treats.

Descriptions of individual ingredients discuss why they were selected and the nutritional or functional considerations associated with their inclusion.

Such information should not be interpreted as an individual medical or veterinary recommendation.

Product formulations, suppliers, ingredient availability and packaging information may evolve. The information appearing on the product package at the time of purchase should be considered the primary source for the current commercial formulation.

Individual results

Dogs are individuals.

Experiences with foods, treats, supplements and wellness routines will naturally vary.

No statement, review, testimonial, photograph, story or experience featured on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee that another dog will experience the same result.

Paws & Praise: ratings, reviews & testimonials

Reviews, paw ratings and testimonials published through Paws & Praise reflect the experiences and opinions of the individuals who submit them.

Individual experiences may vary.

The Quartet of Gotham City may moderate submissions for relevance, clarity, length, privacy, inappropriate language, misleading statements, unrelated material or other reasonable editorial purposes.

Moderation will not be used to materially change the substance or sentiment of a genuine customer review.

Submission of a review does not guarantee publication.

If a product, gift, incentive or other material benefit has been provided in connection with a review or testimonial, any disclosure required in connection with that relationship should accompany the published content.

The Quartet of Gotham City does not knowingly publish fabricated reviews or testimonials or represent fictional experiences as genuine customer experiences.

User-submitted photographs, reviews & content

Visitors may have opportunities to submit photographs, reviews, comments, pet names and other content through the website.

By submitting material, the contributor confirms that they own the submitted content or otherwise have the necessary rights and permissions to provide it.

Where permission is granted through a submission form, the contributor authorizes The Quartet of Gotham City to reproduce, publish, display, format and use the approved content in connection with the website, social media, marketing, promotional and brand communications.

Published submissions may include a fur child's name, general location, photograph, paw rating, review title and comments where the contributor has provided permission for those elements to appear.

Private contact information such as an email address will not be displayed publicly solely because a review has been submitted.

The Quartet of Gotham City reserves the right to decline, remove or cease using submitted content when appropriate.

AI-generated & AI-assisted imagery

Certain photographs, illustrations, postcards, scenes and other creative materials appearing on The Quartet of Gotham City website, social media channels and related brand communications may be created, enhanced, adapted or modified using artificial intelligence and other digital creative tools.

Some AI-assisted images may incorporate or be inspired by original photographs of the Butler, Patriot, Petunia, Paddington and Patsy.

These creative interpretations may alter backgrounds, clothing, historical settings, environments, decorative elements, poses or other visual details for artistic, humorous, storytelling or entertainment purposes.

AI-generated and AI-assisted imagery should not necessarily be interpreted as a literal photographic record of an actual event, location, period, garment or circumstance unless the accompanying content expressly indicates otherwise.

The Manor occasionally has more fun with history than history had with itself.

Where AI-generated or AI-assisted imagery appears in connection with The Butler's Functional Dog Treats or another commercial product, customers should rely upon the actual product description, packaging, ingredient declaration and factual product information rather than artistic or illustrative imagery when making purchasing or feeding decisions.

The use of artificial intelligence as part of a creative process does not imply that every element appearing within a particular image was generated by artificial intelligence.

Original photography, writing, graphic design, creative direction, arrangement and other human-created elements may form part of a finished AI-assisted work.

Digital postcards & Tell a Friend

The Tell a Friend feature allows visitors to select and send humorous digital postcards featuring members of the Quartet.

Postcard artwork may include original photography together with AI-generated or AI-assisted settings, styling, typography, clothing or decorative elements.

The postcards are intended as humorous and creative interpretations of the Quartet and should not be interpreted as documentary photographs or representations of actual historical events.

Visitors should only provide an email address for a recipient whom they reasonably believe would welcome the message.

Recipient contact information collected specifically for the delivery of a digital postcard should be used for the delivery and operation of that requested communication and should not automatically enroll the recipient in ongoing marketing communications.

A postcard recipient should only be added to promotional or marketing communications if that recipient separately chooses to subscribe.

The Quartet strongly encourages affection, correspondence and snacks. Unwanted email is another matter.

AI & customer testimonials

Artificial intelligence may be used to assist with administrative functions such as formatting, organizing or moderating website material, but AI-created statements should not be presented as genuine customer reviews or testimonials.

Published customer reviews should represent actual submissions and genuine customer experiences.

Any stylistic or formatting edits made to submitted material should preserve the substance and intended sentiment of the contributor.

Editorial content, interviews & contributors

The Quartet of Gotham City may publish interviews, articles, commentary, conversations and other editorial material concerning canine longevity, nutrition, wellness, entrepreneurship and related subjects.

Opinions expressed by interviewees, guest contributors, founders, experts or other third parties are their own and do not necessarily represent the opinions of The Quartet of Gotham City or the Butler.

Participation in an interview or editorial feature does not constitute veterinary, medical or commercial endorsement unless specifically identified as such.

References or links to businesses, products, services, organizations or individuals are provided for informational or editorial purposes and should not automatically be interpreted as endorsements.

Press & media references

References to media appearances, publications, interviews or coverage are provided to document occasions on which the Quartet or Butler has been featured or discussed.

The inclusion of a media organization's name does not imply that the organization currently endorses The Quartet of Gotham City, the Butler Stack™, The Butler's Functional Dog Treats or any other product or service unless expressly stated.

Third-party trademarks, publication names and logos remain the property of their respective owners.

Product photography & presentation

Reasonable efforts are made to depict products accurately.

The appearance of packaging, biscuits, ingredients, colors, proportions or other visual details may vary slightly because of photography, screen settings, production variation, packaging updates or other factors.

Decorative, conceptual, historical, AI-assisted or lifestyle imagery should not be relied upon as a technical representation of a product.

Product availability

Product availability, pricing, promotional offers, shipping destinations and delivery estimates may change.

Placement of an item on the website does not guarantee perpetual availability.

Orders remain subject to acceptance, payment authorization, inventory availability and the applicable Terms of Purchase.

Intellectual property

The Quartet of Gotham City name, character identities, written material, original photography, logos, designs, graphics, product names, packaging, Butler Stack™ name and other proprietary brand elements may be protected by copyright, trademark or other applicable intellectual-property rights.

Nothing on this website grants visitors the right to reproduce, distribute, commercially exploit or create unauthorized derivative uses of protected brand material except where permission has been expressly provided.

The copyright status of individual AI-generated elements may differ depending upon the nature and extent of human authorship involved. This does not affect intellectual-property rights that may exist in original photographs, writing, creative selection, arrangement, design, trademarks or other human-authored elements incorporated into a finished work.

The Quartet & character representations

Patriot, Petunia, Paddington and Patsy are real members of the Quartet.

The personality descriptions, titles, Manor hierarchy, quotations, imagined correspondence and other character-based material appearing throughout the website are part of the storytelling world of The Quartet of Gotham City.

Humorous statements attributed to members of the Quartet are creative characterizations and should be understood in that spirit.

The Butler remains responsible for typing.
