Effective date: July 19, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to https://www.dorianhartwood.com... and its pages, content, forms, and related website features. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

“Dorian Hartwood” is the public name and brand used for the site. References to “Dorian,” “the site,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean the operator of the Dorian Hartwood website acting through that public brand.

INFORMATIONAL AND CREATIVE CONTENT

The site contains essays, reflections, frameworks, creative work, resources, and information about possible services. Content is provided for general informational, educational, and creative purposes. It is not medical, mental-health, legal, financial, tax, investment, or other professional advice, and it does not create a professional-client relationship.

You are responsible for deciding whether information is appropriate for your circumstances and for seeking qualified professional help when needed. If you are experiencing an emergency or immediate risk of harm, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise stated, original text, branding, graphics, downloads, and other materials created for the site are owned by or licensed to the site operator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and share links to public pages for personal, noncommercial purposes. You may quote limited portions with clear attribution where permitted by law. You may not copy, republish, sell, scrape, train a commercial system on, remove attribution from, or create a substitute for substantial site content without written permission or another lawful basis.

Third-party names, trademarks, images, excerpts, and linked materials remain the property of their respective owners.

ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to:

• use the site for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, harassing, or harmful activity;
• interfere with site operation, security, forms, or access controls;
• submit malware, automated spam, deceptive inquiries, or content that violates another person’s rights;
• attempt to obtain passwords, tokens, client secrets, private messages, restricted data, or unauthorized access;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your authority; or
• use automated collection in a way that burdens the site or violates applicable law or provider terms.

Access may be limited or blocked when reasonably necessary to protect the site, its users, providers, or legal rights.

CONTACT, SUBSCRIBER, AND SERVICE INQUIRIES

Submitting a contact or subscriber form does not guarantee a response and does not create a contract, employment relationship, partnership, fiduciary duty, or professional-client relationship.

A service relationship exists only after the relevant parties agree to separate written terms or another clear acceptance. Do not send confidential information, trade secrets, regulated data, or sensitive personal information before an appropriate written arrangement is in place.

Newsletter or subscriber messages may include an unsubscribe method. Additional details about form and subscriber information appear in the site’s Privacy Policy.

PRODUCTS, PAYMENTS, AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The site may link to products, services, newsletters, publications, and social platforms operated by third parties, including Gumroad and Buttondown. Transactions, memberships, accounts, and use on those services are governed by the third party’s terms and policies. The site does not process payment-card or bank information on its public pages.

External links are provided for convenience or context. A link does not guarantee or endorse the availability, accuracy, security, accessibility, or policies of the destination. The site operator is not responsible for third-party content or systems outside the operator’s control.

NO GUARANTEE OF AVAILABILITY OR RESULTS

The site and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, no guarantee is made that the site will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, current, or suitable for a particular purpose. Examples, reflections, and frameworks do not guarantee a particular personal, professional, business, health, financial, or environmental outcome.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so these exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an external destination.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If applicable law does not allow a limitation stated here, the limitation applies only to the maximum extent permitted.

PRIVACY

The site’s Privacy Policy explains observed information practices and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

CHANGES AND DISCONTINUATION

The site, content, features, and these Terms may change over time. The effective date will be updated when revised Terms are published. Changes apply prospectively unless applicable law requires otherwise. The site or a feature may be suspended or discontinued without guaranteeing continued availability of prior content.

SEVERABILITY AND NO WAIVER

If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to the extent permitted by law. A delay or failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
