You are responsible for evaluating the content and for any action you take based on it. Always consult a qualified professional before acting on information that could affect your health, safety, property, livestock, business, or equipment. We do not guarantee that any technique, product, or recommendation described on the Site will produce a particular result.

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise noted, all content on the Site, including text, photographs, graphics, and the selection and arrangement of that content, is owned by Cody Deluisio and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You may view, download, and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use, and you may share short excerpts with proper attribution and a link back to the original page. You may not otherwise copy, republish, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the content without prior written permission. Trademarks, product names, and logos belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

When using the Site, you agree not to:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;

7. Comments and user submissions

The Site may allow you to post comments or otherwise submit content (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the right to post it. By submitting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, and moderate that content in connection with operating the Site. We may edit, remove, or decline to publish any User Content at our discretion, and we are not obligated to monitor or store it. User Content reflects the views of the person who posted it, not ours, and we are not responsible for it.

8. Third-party links and services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services that we do not own or control. These links are provided for convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site, and any dealings you have with third parties are solely between you and them.

9. Affiliate links and sponsored content

Some pages on the Site may contain affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. Where content is sponsored, or where we have a material connection to a product or company, we aim to disclose it. Our opinions remain our own, and an affiliate relationship does not change our editorial assessments.

10. Advertising

The Site may display advertising served by third-party advertising networks, including Google. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to the Site and other websites. For details on how these technologies are used and how to opt out, see our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site is free of viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cody Deluisio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cody Deluisio from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or of the rights of any third party.

14. Changes to the Site and to these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

15. Termination

We may restrict or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site.
