Terms & Conditions + Disclaimer
Effective Date: June 28, 2026
Welcome to JenniferJColdwater.com. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following terms and conditions. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. I mean that kindly.
This space is built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect—let’s keep it that way.
1. Intellectual Property
Everything on this site—book blurbs, blog posts, journal prompts, reading challenges, downloads, photos, and other content—is owned by Jennifer J. Coldwater unless otherwise noted.
You’re welcome to share links or quotes (with credit), but you may not copy, reproduce, sell, or publish anything without written permission. If you’re unsure, ask first.
This includes:
Journal content (print or digital)
Freebies or bonus materials
Blog posts or social captions
Author interviews or downloadable resources
2. Use of Site
You agree to use this site in good faith. That means:
No scraping, copying, or reselling content
No spammy comments, fake accounts, or shady behavior
No use of the site to promote hate, harm, or harassment
This is a queer-affirming, spiritual, inclusive space. You’re welcome here—unless your intention is to do harm. In that case, kindly see yourself out.
3. No Guarantees or Professional Advice
This site includes reflections on writing, identity, queerness, spirituality, personal growth, and more. Everything shared here is based on personal experience, research, and storytelling. It’s offered in good faith—but it is not professional advice.
Nothing on this site (or in my books, journals, or blog) should be taken as medical, legal, mental health, or financial guidance. If you need that kind of support, please seek a qualified professional.
4. Results Disclaimer
I may share stories of healing, connection, creativity, and joy. But your journey is your own. I can’t guarantee a particular outcome from reading my books, using my journal, or trying a prompt.
That said: I hope something here makes you feel a little more seen, a little more free, or a little more yourself.
5. Third-Party Links
Sometimes I link to books, articles, podcasts, or other websites I love. I’m not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those sites. Please use your own good judgment when clicking around the internet. Some links may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, I’m not liable for any losses or damages that arise from your use of this site or its content—directly or indirectly.
In plain terms: I create with care, but I’m not responsible for how content is interpreted or applied.
7. Updates to These Terms
I may update these terms now and then. If I do, the revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. You're encouraged to check back if you're curious (or if you're a detail-oriented human who reads policies).
