Our website contains links to third-party websites, services, and resources, including affiliate links. We are not responsible for:

  • The availability, accuracy, or content of third-party websites

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of our website shall be instituted exclusively in federal or state courts located in [Your State/Country]. You consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to the venue.

Dispute Resolution

We’d much rather talk things out over coffee (or virtual coffee, since we’re nomadic). If you have a dispute with us, please contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve it informally.

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you agree that any dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, rather than in court. You waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Changes to Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting the new Terms on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy & Disclosures, constitute the entire agreement between you and The Nomadic Family regarding your use of the website and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Contact Us
