Effective Date: April 7, 2025

Welcome to Dwell Delightfully! We’re so happy you’re here. This website, located at www.dwelldelightfully.com, is a cozy and inspiring space designed to help modern home cooks create meaningful moments in the kitchen. Please take a moment to read our Terms of Use — they outline the important legal details for using our site. By visiting or interacting with our site, you agree to these terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and agree to follow these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, we kindly ask you not to use the site.

2. License to Use the Site

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the site for your own non-commercial enjoyment. Please use the site respectfully and within the boundaries of these terms.

3. Restrictions

To keep this space safe and joyful for all, you agree not to:

  • Sell, license, or redistribute our content commercially
  • Modify or create derivative works based on the site
  • Attempt to copy or replicate the design, recipes, or site experience
  • Violate any copyright or proprietary notices found on the site

4. Changes and Availability

We may update, modify, or temporarily pause features of the site at any time. While we do our best to offer a consistent experience, we’re not responsible for any changes, downtimes, or interruptions.

5. Intellectual Property

All images, recipes, branding, and design elements on this site are either the property of Dwell Delightfully or shared with proper permission. You are not permitted to reuse or republish our content without prior written consent. We deeply value creative work — ours and others’.

6. User Content and Contributions

We love when you share your thoughts, photos, or recipe twists in comments or submissions! However, you are solely responsible for the content you provide. By posting on our site, you agree not to submit anything inappropriate, offensive, or infringing on someone else’s rights. We reserve the right to remove content that doesn’t align with our community values.

7. Third-Party Links and Advertisements

From time to time, we may share links to other websites or display third-party ads. We do not control these third-party sites or services and are not responsible for their content or practices. Always read their terms and privacy policies before engaging.

8. Cookies and Web Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience — the digital kind, not the oatmeal raisin kind. These help us personalize content, track trends, and improve our offerings. Our advertising partners (like Google) may also use cookies to serve relevant ads.

If you’d like to disable cookies, you can adjust your browser settings at any time. You can also review Google’s ad privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

9. Disclaimers

We create our content with care and passion, but the site is provided “as-is” and “as available.” We make no warranties or guarantees that everything will always be flawless, timely, or without the occasional typo. Your use of the site is at your own discretion and risk.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dwell Delightfully and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including data loss, recipe mishaps, or device issues — arising from your use of the site. If any liability does arise, it will be limited to a maximum of $50 USD.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, especially if you violate these terms. If that happens, your ability to access content or participate in the community may be revoked immediately. Certain sections of these Terms will continue to apply even after termination.

12. Copyright Policy

We deeply respect the creativity of others. If you believe your copyrighted work has been posted here without permission, please email us at [email protected] with the following:

  • Your name and electronic or physical signature
  • Details about the copyrighted work in question
  • The exact location (URL) of the allegedly infringing content
  • Your contact information
  • A statement of good faith belief that use of the material is unauthorized
  • A statement that your notice is accurate, under penalty of perjury

We take copyright concerns seriously and will review all valid requests promptly.

13. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

If a dispute arises between you and Dwell Delightfully, we both agree to resolve it through individual arbitration rather than in court. This helps keep things simpler and more private.

Before taking formal action, we encourage informal communication. Please contact us to try resolving the issue first. If unresolved, arbitration will be handled under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Class actions and jury trials are waived under these terms.

14. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use occasionally. Any substantial changes will be posted on this page. By continuing to use the site after such updates, you agree to the revised terms. We encourage you to revisit this page from time to time.

15. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes that are not subject to arbitration will be resolved in the courts of California.

16. Contact Us
