Terms of Use

Informational Website

This website is a personal archive blog maintained by Jan H. Metzger. Its sole purpose is to share observations about paper collections, notebook fragments, writing discipline, and quiet desk rituals. All content is provided for informational and inspirational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice, whether medical, financial, legal, or otherwise. The blog does not claim to offer guaranteed results, transformative outcomes, or expert guidance in any regulated field.

The opinions, reflections, and notes expressed here are personal to the author. They do not represent the views of any employer, organization, or affiliated institution. The address listed on this site reflects a physical correspondence point and should not be interpreted as a commercial office or service centre.

Inquiry and Contact Terms

The contact form on this website allows visitors to send messages directly to the author. There is no automated response system. Messages are reviewed manually, and replies are composed when time and attention allow. No guaranteed response time is promised. The absence of a quick reply does not indicate that a message has been ignored. It simply reflects the personal, non-commercial nature of this project.

By submitting a message, you agree to provide accurate contact information. Submissions containing false identities, misleading details, or abusive content may be disregarded without notice. The author reserves the right to decline correspondence that appears spam, promotional, or harassing in nature.

Optional Services or Editorial Requests

The website describes three optional editorial formats: the Single Letter, the Quarterly Bundle, and the Archive Session. These are not products in the commercial sense. They are occasional, personalised exchanges between the author and readers who share a similar interest in paper and writing. Descriptions of these formats are general and illustrative. Final details, including availability, scope, and timing, are always confirmed directly by email before any exchange begins.

No online payment, checkout, or instant booking is offered through this website. All arrangements are discussed and agreed upon via direct email. This ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of expectations before any commitment is made.

Payment and Ordering

This website does not process online payments. There is no shopping cart, no checkout flow, and no payment gateway. Prices listed for editorial formats are reference points for discussion. They are not binding offers. Any financial exchange that occurs happens outside of this website, through direct agreement between the parties, and only after both sides have confirmed their understanding of the scope and terms.

Because no payment is processed on this site, there are no refund policies, chargeback procedures, or consumer protection mechanisms embedded here. Any such matters are handled through direct communication and mutual agreement.

Cookie and Privacy Notice

This website includes a cookie and privacy notice bar at the bottom of every page. The notice is informational and does not use tracking scripts, localStorage, or third-party consent management tools. It explains that the site does not use analytics cookies, that Google Maps may load external resources in the location section, and that message details are used only for responding to inquiries.

Clicking the Accept button on the notice hides it for the current page view using CSS only. The choice is not stored permanently and does not block Google Maps from loading. The notice is provided as a transparency measure, not as a regulatory consent mechanism, because there is no tracking to consent to.

Acceptable Use

Visitors are expected to use this website in a lawful and respectful manner. You may not use the contact form to send unsolicited advertising, malware, threats, or discriminatory content. You may not attempt to scrape, hack, or otherwise interfere with the technical functioning of the site. You may not reproduce the content of this blog for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

The images on this site are provided for visual context and are not offered as stock photography or design assets. They may not be downloaded, redistributed, or used in derivative works without permission.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Australian law, Jan H. Metzger is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website or your reliance on any information contained within it. This includes but is not limited to errors, omissions, interruptions, delays, or viruses. The website is provided as-is without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Because this is a personal, non-commercial blog, the scope of liability is limited to normal informational website use. No professional, medical, financial, or legal liability is assumed.

Applicable Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any disputes arising from the use of this website shall be resolved under the jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full effect.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, legal requirements, or the author's circumstances. The current version is always the one displayed on this page. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
