Terms & Conditions

This site is operated by Gwen Bonair as an author, songwriter, caregiver-advocate, and end-of-life doula. It is a personal and creative presence, not a healthcare provider, hospice agency, law firm, or clinical practice.

Everything on this site — including caregiver reflections, end-of-life doula perspective, essays, songs, videos, and replies to notes — is offered for informational, emotional, and creative support only. It is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, hospice, palliative, legal, or financial advice.

Always consult a qualified professional for decisions about care, treatment, medication, legal matters, or end-of-life planning. If you or someone you love is in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line immediately.

Reading the site, sending a note, joining the list, or receiving a reply from Gwen does not create a doctor-patient, therapist- client, hospice, doula, or attorney-client relationship.

All original writing, songs, lyrics, recordings, videos, photographs, artwork, and design on this site are © Gwen Bonair unless otherwise noted, and are protected by copyright and other applicable laws.

You may:

• Read, listen, and share links to public pages.
• Quote a short passage with clear attribution to Gwen Bonair and a link back to the source page.

You may not, without prior written permission:

• Copy, republish, or redistribute the content in whole or in substantial part.
• Use the content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI or machine-learning system.
• Use Gwen's name, likeness, voice, or brand to imply endorsement.
• Use the content for commercial purposes.

Notes you send through the contact form are read by Gwen. They are treated as confidential and are never sold or shared publicly. Gwen will not quote your story in a book, essay, talk, song, interview, or social post without your written permission first.

By sending a note, you confirm that the information you share is yours to share and does not violate anyone else's privacy or rights.

If you join the mailing list, you agree to receive occasional emails from Gwen. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. We do not sell or rent the list.

You agree not to:

• Use the site for anything unlawful, harmful, harassing, or abusive.
• Attempt to disrupt, probe, scrape, or bypass the security of the site.
• Impersonate anyone or misrepresent your identity in forms.
• Upload or transmit anything that infringes another person's rights.

The site may link to books, music platforms, articles, or other external resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own discretion.

We may add, change, or remove content, features, or pages at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that the site will be available uninterrupted or error-free.

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gwen Bonair will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or opportunity, arising from your use of the site or reliance on any content. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gwen Bonair from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the site or violation of these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Gwen resides, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located there, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
