The rules of the swim trip.

The Tartufos is the account and small brand of Enzo and Emilia, two Lagotto Romagnolos based in Reno, Nevada, run by their humans. “We” and “us” below means The Tartufos. These terms cover thetartufos.com, our shop at shop.thetartufos.com, our social accounts (@thetartufos), and any partnership we agree to. Questions go to hello@thetartufos.com.

Every partnership starts with a short written agreement (an email thread counts) that names the deliverables, the platforms, the posting dates, the fee or commission, the usage rights and the review process. If that agreement and these terms disagree, the agreement wins.

• Fit first. We only work with products we’d actually use with our dogs. We may turn down any brief, and we may decline products that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs.
• The dogs come first. No shoot will put Enzo or Emilia at risk, stress them, or ask them to eat, wear or do anything we think is unsafe. Shoots run on dog time and may be rescheduled for weather, health or behavior.
• Products. Gifted products are ours to keep. Sending a product doesn’t guarantee a post unless we’ve agreed to one in writing.
• Review. Paid content includes one round of reasonable revisions before posting. Extra rounds, reshoots or new concepts are quoted separately.
• Exclusivity. There’s no category exclusivity unless the agreement says so, for a stated period and fee.

• Flat fees are invoiced on agreement: 50% before the shoot and 50% when the content is delivered, net 15, unless the agreement says otherwise.
• Commission and affiliate partnerships pay at the rate and on the schedule of the brand’s program or network (for example PartnerStack, Awin or AvantLink).
• If a brand cancels after we’ve shot, the full fee is due. If it cancels before, the deposit is kept.
• Late invoices may be charged 1.5% a month, and usage rights don’t start until the invoice is paid.

We own the photos and video we make, including Enzo and Emilia’s likeness. Brands get a license, not ownership:

• Organic use (reposting on the brand’s own social accounts, with credit to @thetartufos) is included for 12 months from posting.
• Paid use (ads, whitelisting or Spark Ads, email, website, packaging, retail) needs a separate license that names the channels, the term and the fee.
• Content may not be edited to change its meaning, used with AI to make new likenesses of the dogs, or sublicensed to third parties without our written OK.
• Each license ends when its term ends. Ads already running are taken down within 7 days.
• We may keep the content in our portfolio and on our own accounts.

We follow the FTC’s Endorsement Guides. Sponsored posts are labeled with the platform’s paid-partnership tool and/or #ad, and gifted products are labeled as gifted. We only say what we really think.

Some links on this site, including on our Favorites page, are affiliate links marked “Affiliate link.” If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partners using our affiliate links agree not to bid on our name in search ads, use our content without a license, or offer coupon codes we haven’t approved.

Orders on shop.thetartufos.com are processed by Shopify and made to order by our print partners. Prices, shipping, returns and refunds follow the policies shown at checkout. Digital products, like our swim-spot guide, are for personal use and may not be resold or redistributed. Swim spots and conditions change, so check local rules and water conditions before you go; you and your dog swim at your own risk.

When you join the waitlist we save your email in our Shopify customer list to send you drop news. We don’t sell it. Every email has an unsubscribe link, or you can write to hello@thetartufos.com and we’ll delete it.

Everything on thetartufos.com (photos, video, text, illustrations and the Tartufos name and mark) belongs to us. You’re welcome to share links and reshare our posts with credit, but please ask before using our photos or the dogs’ likeness for anything else. The site is provided as is, and we aren’t liable for third-party sites we link to.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, and any dispute will be handled in Washoe County, Nevada. We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version, and signed agreements keep the terms they were signed under.
