4. Educational Content and Professional Information
The Website provides information about marketing, Pinterest strategy, content creation, search visibility, business growth, and related subjects.
Our content is intended to educate, inform, and help business owners make more informed decisions.
Marketing platforms, search algorithms, advertising systems, and business conditions change frequently. Although we strive to provide accurate and useful information, we cannot guarantee that every article, recommendation, or resource will remain current or appropriate for every business.
You are responsible for evaluating how the information applies to your circumstances and for making your own business decisions.
Nothing on the Website creates a consulting relationship merely because you read an article, download a resource, watch a video, or subscribe to our email list.
A consulting relationship is established only when we expressly agree to provide consulting services, which may be documented in a separate written agreement.
Additional information about educational content, business results, testimonials, and other limitations will be provided in our separate Website Disclaimer.
5. No Guarantee of Business or Marketing Results

Increased website traffic or search rankings.
A specific number of leads or customer inquiries.
Increased bookings, purchases, or revenue.

Particular outcomes from implementing a marketing strategy.
Results depend on numerous factors, including your industry, market, business model, existing content, competition, execution, resources, and changes made by third-party platforms.

7. Consulting Services
Julianne Smith offers marketing consulting and related professional services.
Descriptions of consulting services on the Website are informational and do not constitute a binding offer to perform services for any particular individual or business.
Consulting engagements may be subject to separate written proposals, service agreements, statements of work, or other contractual terms.
Those agreements may address fees, deliverables, timelines, revisions, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership, account access, and termination.
If you enter into a separate consulting agreement with Julianne Smith, that agreement will govern the consulting relationship to the extent it differs from these general Website Terms.
8. Free Resources and Email Communications
The Website may offer free educational resources, downloads, webinars, workshops, or other materials.
Certain resources may require you to provide an email address or other contact information.
We use ActiveCampaign for email marketing and automated communications.
Your personal information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
If you subscribe to marketing communications, you may unsubscribe using the link included in those emails.
Free resources remain subject to applicable intellectual property restrictions unless an accompanying license expressly provides otherwise.
Providing a free resource does not transfer ownership of its content or authorize resale, redistribution, or inclusion in another paid product.
9. Affiliate Links, Recommendations, and Sponsored Relationships
The Website may contain affiliate links, referral links, sponsored content, or recommendations for third-party products and services.
In some circumstances, we may receive a commission or other compensation when you purchase a product or service through a link or referral associated with our Website.
Affiliate relationships do not necessarily increase the price you pay.
We may recommend tools, platforms, services, or products based on our professional experience, educational content, or perceived usefulness to our audience.
However, third-party products and services are independently operated, and we do not control their pricing, availability, features, performance, or policies.
You are responsible for reviewing the terms, privacy policies, and suitability of third-party products before making a purchase.
We will disclose material affiliate or sponsored relationships where required by applicable advertising and consumer protection laws.
10. Third-Party Websites, Platforms, and Services
The Website may contain links to external websites or incorporate content and functionality provided by third parties.
These may include social media platforms, video services, checkout platforms, email marketing tools, and other business technologies.
We do not control independent third-party websites or services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, pricing, policies, or practices.
Your interactions with third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
Links or references to third-party services do not necessarily constitute an endorsement, partnership, or sponsorship.
You access and use third-party services at your own discretion.
11. User Submissions, Comments, and Testimonials
You may have opportunities to submit information through contact forms, surveys, comments, testimonials, reviews, or other communications.
You agree that information you submit will not violate applicable laws or the rights of others.
You should not submit confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information through publicly accessible Website features unless we have specifically agreed to receive it through an appropriate channel.
You retain ownership of original content you submit.
If you voluntarily submit content specifically for public display, such as a comment or testimonial, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and format that content in connection with the Website and our related business communications, subject to applicable law and any limitations separately agreed upon.
We will not treat confidential consulting materials or private client communications as public submissions merely because they were shared with us during a consulting relationship.
We reserve the right to decline or remove publicly submitted content that is unlawful, misleading, abusive, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate.
12. Privacy and Personal Information
Your use of JulianneSmith.com may involve the collection and processing of personal information.
Our Privacy Policy explains our information practices, including the use of Squarespace, ActiveCampaign, ThriveCart, Google Analytics, and Meta Pixel.
You can review the Privacy Policy at:
https://www.juliannesmith.com/privacy-policy
The Privacy Policy is a separate disclosure of our information practices. These Terms do not replace any privacy rights or protections provided by applicable law.
13. Separate Pinterest Scheduling Application
Julianne Smith also operates the Garter Girl Creative Pin Scheduler, a separate Pinterest content management and scheduling application.
The Application is distinct from the general consulting, educational, and website activities offered through JulianneSmith.com.
These Website Terms do not establish the specific terms governing Application accounts, Pinterest authorization, scheduling functionality, or Application subscriptions.
The Application's handling of personal information and Pinterest account data is addressed in its separate Privacy Policy:
https://www.juliannesmith.com/privacy-policy-pin-scheduler
Additional Application-specific terms may be introduced as the Application is developed and made available.
14. Website Availability and Changes
We strive to maintain a functional and accessible Website, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
The Website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical issues, service provider interruptions, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We may modify, update, reorganize, or remove publicly available Website content at our discretion.
Changes to paid products or services that you have already purchased will remain subject to applicable purchase terms, contractual obligations, and law.
We are not responsible for interruptions or changes to independently operated third-party platforms.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its publicly available content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We make no guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every possible threat, or suitable for every visitor's particular needs.
We do not warrant that all information on the Website is complete, current, or free from inaccuracies.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Specific warranties or commitments contained in a separate written consulting or purchase agreement will remain subject to that agreement.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Julianne Smith will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the publicly available Website or reliance on its general informational content.
This includes, where legally permitted, claims involving lost profits, lost business opportunities, lost data, or business interruption.
For claims arising solely from access to or use of the free, publicly available Website, our total liability will not exceed $100, to the extent such a limitation is enforceable under applicable law.
This limitation does not automatically govern paid courses, digital products, or consulting engagements where separate contractual terms apply.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excludes rights or remedies protected by applicable law.
17. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Julianne Smith harmless from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from:
Your unlawful use of the Website.
Your intentional misuse of Website systems.
Your infringement of another person's intellectual property or other legal rights.
Content you submit in violation of these Terms or applicable law.
This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct or other circumstances for which indemnification cannot legally be required.
18. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the publicly available Website will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts of competent authority in the District of Columbia, except where mandatory consumer protection or other applicable laws provide otherwise.
Before initiating formal legal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at info@juliannesmith.com so we can attempt to resolve the issue informally.
These Terms do not require binding arbitration or waive your right to bring a claim in court.
Separate consulting or purchase agreements may contain their own lawful dispute-resolution provisions.
19. International Visitors
JulianneSmith.com is operated from the United States and may be accessed by visitors in other countries.
Visitors are responsible for complying with laws applicable to their own use of the Website.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or limit mandatory consumer or privacy protections that apply to individuals in other jurisdictions.
We do not represent that all Website content, products, or services are appropriate or available in every country.
20. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Website Terms of Use to reflect changes in our Website, business practices, services, or legal requirements.
When changes are made, we will update the effective date at the beginning of this document.
Updated Terms will apply prospectively from their effective date, except as otherwise permitted by law or agreed to by the parties.
Material changes affecting existing paid contractual relationships will be handled in accordance with the applicable agreements and legal requirements.
We encourage visitors to review these Terms periodically.
21. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.
Our failure to enforce a provision does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
These Terms, together with documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement concerning your general use of the publicly available Website.
They do not supersede separate signed consulting agreements or specific terms expressly accepted in connection with purchases or other services.
