Not professional advice
Content on the Site is educational and informational. It is NOT:
- Legal advice. For religious accommodation law, consult an employment lawyer.
- Medical advice. For questions about healthcare, consult your clinician.
- Halachic advice. For personal religious questions, consult your rabbi. Chava writes descriptively about community practice, not prescriptively about what you should do.
- Financial advice. Consult a financial professional for investment or tax matters.
Paid consulting services are different — see the Services pagefor professional engagements where Chava provides expertise directly.
Paid products
- Digital products (ebooks, guides, PDFs): non-refundable after download, but if you're genuinely unsatisfied within 30 days, email and Chava will usually refund.
- Physical products (Shabbat Kit, etc.): 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If the product arrives damaged or doesn't meet expectations, email for replacement or refund.
- Virtual events: refundable up to 48 hours before the event. After that, a recording will be sent if you miss it.
- Consulting services: terms specified in the engagement contract. Typically 50% upfront, 50% on completion. Specific terms in each Statement of Work.
- Donations: non-refundable.
Sponsored content
The Site accepts sponsored content from organizations whose products or services are relevant to Chava's audience. Sponsored articles are always clearly labeled "Sponsored by [name]." Sponsors do not influence the editorial content of non-sponsored articles. Chava retains editorial control of all writing, including sponsored pieces.
User-submitted content
If you send messages via the Contact form, email, or other communication channels, Chava may quote your message (anonymously or with your first name, depending on what you indicate) in future articles or newsletters — if and only if doing so would be helpful to other readers. If you'd prefer your message stay private, say so in the message and it will remain private.
Third-party links
The Site links to external websites (articles, books on Amazon, partner organizations). Chava doesn't control those sites and isn't responsible for their content or privacy practices. Some links are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, the Site may earn a small commission. This doesn't affect what you pay.
Limitation of liability
The Site and its content are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. Chava makes reasonable efforts for accuracy but is human and can make mistakes. If you rely on Site content for important decisions, you do so at your own risk. Chava isn't liable for damages arising from use of the Site.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the Site after changes means acceptance of the updated terms.
