COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

Everything written on this site, unless otherwise indicated, is MINE! ALL MINE! In other words, it’s the property of ONE BRAVE COWGIRL. Feel free to take pieces of our work and replicate it online or in print; but if you do, I’d be much obliged if you’d please link back to onebravecowgirl.com. If you want to use more than a few paragraphs, please holler at us at carol@onebravecowgirl.com.

Many of the kick butt photos on this site were taken by David & Kaylane Crandall at Crandallography. They are amazing and so fun to work with. All other photos were taken by One Brave Cowgirl or have been purchased for use as stock photography or are being used under the Creative Commons license. Any use of copyrighted photos is unintentional. Scouts honor. If you believe a mistake has occurred and that you own the copyright to any of the photos used on this site, please let us know, and we will happily remove the questionable photo immediately.

DISCLAIMER

Thanks for visiting! My blog is a resource guide for educational and informational purposes. (And sometimes venting about inappropriate topics such as changing Depends and/or Memory Care Dating Games. You know–the usual.) To write my articles, I use my experiences, the experiences of others and various other resources including but not limited to the wild wild web, the Encyclopedia Britannica (what? you didn’t buy the extended library collection of 1989?) and/or The Bible. (Kidding. But maybe not.) That said – my advice doesn’t come with any guarantees. By visiting this site, you’re essentially signing a contract that says that you understand that I make no guarantees, and you won’t try to sue me or report me to the Obama Administration or my mother. Because that? Would be awkward.

And by the way…we should probably give a group nod to the fact that I am not a licensed psychologist or health care professional, and my services don’t replace the care of psychologists or other healthcare professionals. (Though I do own an impressive brown leather couch and stacks of outdated magazines, thankyouverymuch.) With that comes the standard eye-glaze inducing disclaimer that, no, I cannot actually guarantee the outcome of the discussions and/or recommendations on my website/blog/email series, and my comments about the outcome are expressions of (my very personal) opinion only. I can guarantee you this, however: I will do my best to point you in the right direction, and I’ll do everything in my power to help.

AFFILIATE LINKS DISCLAIMER

Guess what? If you click on a link that I’ve provided, it might be a link to someone who will give me a commission if you buy something from their site. That means that I might get paid if you click on that link. And the reason why I’m telling you this is because I want to be upfront with you, and because it’s illegal not to. (So, you know, right side of the law and all.) That said, I promise to use any affiliate commissions earned for good causes: Things like reinvesting in this business to bring you even better resources, and quite possibly at least one trip to the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show & Rodeo. Because who doesn’t want to see fat stock?

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

We love our products, and we hope you do, too. That said, sometimes we might slip up, and sometimes, errors happen. Things like pricing or merchandise descriptions get mixed up, and then we look bad. While that stinks, what’s most important to us is that you’re happy. So while we can’t guarantee that all information on the site is always 100% accurate at any given time, if you do notice a mistake? Please don’t hesitate to contact us and let us know. Since we can’t guarantee the products for your particular circumstances or purposes, nor the color, size, etc., we can guarantee that we’ll give you the best customer service we can to remedy the situation. Damn straight.
