Terms of Service

Information, not individualized advice

The site provides general information about writing, editing, content strategy, publishing, search, and AI visibility. It is not legal, financial, tax, or other regulated professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances.

No client relationship from site use

Viewing the site, using its resources, or sending an inquiry does not create a client relationship. Professional services begin only when Allison and a client agree to the scope, terms, and price of an engagement.

Copyright and permitted use

Unless otherwise stated, the site’s original text, design, illustrations, downloads, and other materials are owned by Allison M. Payne and protected by intellectual-property law.

You may read, link to, quote brief excerpts from with attribution, and download materials expressly offered for personal or internal business use. You may not republish substantial portions, sell or license site materials, remove attribution, or use the materials to train a commercial model or build a competing product without written permission.

Acceptable use

You may not interfere with the site’s operation or security, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, scrape the site in a way that burdens its systems, impersonate another person, or use the site unlawfully.

Third-party links and services

The site links to publications, social networks, freelance marketplaces, and other third-party services. Those services control their own content, availability, terms, and privacy practices. A link does not guarantee or endorse everything on the destination site.

Availability and accuracy

Allison works to keep the site useful and accurate, but information may become outdated and the site may occasionally be unavailable or changed without notice. No guarantee is made that every page, link, or resource will always be error-free or available.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The site and its materials are provided “as is” and “as available,” to the extent permitted by law. Allison disclaims warranties that are not expressly stated. To the extent permitted by law, Allison will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of—or inability to use—the site.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Changes and applicable law

These terms may be updated as the site changes. The effective date above will identify the current version. These terms are governed by applicable law, without limiting any consumer rights that cannot be waived.
