4. Comments and User Content
We love hearing from readers, and you are invited to leave comments on posts. By posting a comment or submitting any material to the Site, you confirm that the content is your own or that you have the right to share it, and you grant LuvDwelling a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display, reproduce, and moderate that content on and in connection with the Site.

5. Affiliate Disclosure
In accordance with the FTC’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, this Site discloses that some posts contain affiliate links, including through programs such as Amazon Associates and other retailer programs. If you purchase a product through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely like, have used, or would happily use in our own home. Affiliate income helps keep LuvDwelling running and our content free. Occasionally a post may be sponsored or feature a product received from a brand; where that is the case, it will be clearly disclosed within the post.
6. DIY, Decorating, and Safety Disclaimer
The projects, tutorials, and advice on this Site — including painting, furniture makeovers, and home improvement ideas — are shared for inspiration and reflect one person’s experience in her own home. Results will vary depending on your space, materials, tools, and skill level, and we cannot guarantee that any project will work the same way for you. Always read and follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturers of tools, paints, finishes, and other products; wear appropriate protective equipment; work in a ventilated area where required; and never attempt a project you are not comfortable doing safely. When in doubt, consult or hire a qualified professional, particularly for anything involving electrical work, plumbing, structural changes, or load-bearing elements. By attempting any project inspired by this Site, you accept responsibility for your own safety and outcomes.
7. Accuracy and No Warranties
We work hard to keep information on the Site accurate, helpful, and up to date — including paint colour names, product details, prices, and availability. However, products are discontinued, colours render differently on every screen and in every light, prices change, and mistakes can happen. The Content is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Always check product details with the retailer or manufacturer, and always test paint colours in your own room before committing. Your reliance on any Content from this Site is at your own discretion.
8. External Links
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including retailers, social networks, and other blogs. These links are provided for convenience and inspiration. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, products, services, or privacy practices of third-party websites, and including a link does not imply endorsement of everything on the linked site. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, LuvDwelling and its author will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or the Content, or your undertaking of any project or purchase inspired by it — including, without limitation, property damage, personal injury, or loss of data or profits — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LuvDwelling and its author from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any rights of another person.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated terms on this page. Changes take effect when they are posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms, so please check back occasionally.
