These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Tech Mama Teaches, operated by Melissa Bolcar, a sole proprietorship based in Florida ("Tech Mama Teaches," "we," "us," "our"). By visiting or using techmamateaches.com (the "Site"), signing up for our newsletter, or purchasing any product or course we offer, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
1. Who this Site is for
The Site is intended for adults (18+) located in the United States. By using it, you confirm you're at least 18 years old.
2. The content we provide
Tech Mama Teaches provides plain-English educational content about technology — free guides, checklists, blog posts, and (in the future) paid courses — for general informational and educational purposes only.
This content is not professional, legal, financial, cybersecurity, or technical support advice specific to your situation. We do our best to keep everything accurate and up to date, but technology changes fast, and we can't guarantee that a step, app, or setting described here still works exactly the same way by the time you read it. Always use your own judgment, especially with anything involving your money, accounts, or personal information.
3. Newsletter & free resources
When you give us your email address for our newsletter or a free guide, you're agreeing to receive emails from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by emailing hello@techmamateaches.com. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.
4. Paid products & courses
We don't currently sell any paid courses or products on this Site — everything here today is free. If and when we introduce paid offerings, the following will apply to those purchases, along with any additional terms shown on the specific product's page:
- Payment. Purchases will be processed through a third-party payment processor. We don't store your full payment card details ourselves.
- License, not ownership. Purchasing a course or digital product gives you a personal, non-transferable license to use it for your own learning. You may not resell, redistribute, or share it with others.
- Refunds — all sales are final. Because our products are digital and delivered instantly, we don't offer refunds once a purchase is complete, except where required by law. If something goes wrong with a purchase (a technical issue, a billing error), email us at hello@techmamateaches.com — we'll always try to make it right.
5. Acceptable use
When using the Site, please don't:
- Attempt to hack, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its systems.
- Scrape, copy, or republish our content in bulk without permission.
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
- Impersonate us or misrepresent your affiliation with Tech Mama Teaches.
6. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — text, guides, graphics, logos, and course materials — belongs to Tech Mama Teaches unless otherwise noted, and is protected by copyright. You're welcome to share links to our free content. You may not copy, reproduce, or repurpose it for commercial use without our written permission.
7. No warranty
The Site and its content are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't guarantee the Site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or perfectly accurate at all times.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tech Mama Teaches and Melissa Bolcar won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site or its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site or a purchase won't exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, if any.
9. Links to other sites
The Site may link to third-party websites, apps, or services (like the ones we teach you to use). We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Once you leave our Site, their terms apply.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally as the Site and our offerings grow. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Site will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Florida.
