Effective Date: 04/16/2025
Because legal stuff doesn’t read itself.
1. Welcome to Matt’s Dad Says
You found your way to https://mattsdadsays.com, a website full of personal finance wisdom, life tips, dad insights, and an online course or two. If you’re here, that means you agree to play by the rules listed below. They’re not wild — just common sense (mostly).
If you don’t agree, it’s totally okay to hit the back button and go watch cat videos instead.
2. What We Do (And Don’t Do)
We offer:
- Free blog content to help you budget better, stress less, and stop throwing money away like confetti
- An online course designed to teach real-world personal finance in plain English
We don’t offer:
- One-on-one financial planning or investment advice
- Legal advice, tax prep, or any guarantees of fortune and fame
- Miracles (though we’ve come close a couple times)
3. No Financial Advice Disclaimer (Because Lawyers)
While we talk a lot about money and offer educational resources, nothing on this site counts as professional financial advice. We’re not your accountant, lawyer, or therapist — though sometimes it might feel that way.
You should always do your own research or talk to a licensed professional before making big financial decisions. Your money = your responsibility.
4. Intellectual Property (AKA “Don’t Steal Our Stuff”)
Everything on this site — blog posts, course materials, images, logos, and original content — is protected by copyright law.
You’re welcome to:
- Read, enjoy, and share public blog content with a link back
- Quote small sections with credit
You’re not allowed to:
- Reproduce full blog posts or course content
- Copy, modify, or resell anything here
- Pass off Matt’s Dad’s wisdom as your own at parties (Although we’re not sure how to enforce that one)
5. User Accounts (If You Enroll in a Course)
If you sign up for a course, you’ll need an account. You agree to:
- Keep your login info private (no sharing with your cousin who “just needs it for the weekend”)
- Use the site responsibly
- Not hack, spam, or mess around with our systems
We reserve the right to disable any account that breaks the rules.
6. Payments and Pricing
If you buy a course or product:
- Prices are listed in U.S. dollars
- Payment is due at the time of purchase
- We reserve the right to update pricing at any time
We use secure payment processors (like Stripe or PayPal) and never store your payment info ourselves.
7. Refund Policy
[Refund policy goes here — placeholder for now]
We’ll fill this in when you’re ready to decide how flexible (or firm) your refund rules will be. It’ll probably involve fairness, clarity, and zero guilt trips.
8. Site Access and Tech Glitches
We try to keep the site running 24/7, but sometimes things break. If the internet goes out, the site crashes, or a rogue squirrel chews a server cable, we can’t guarantee uninterrupted access.
We’re not liable for any losses caused by technical issues, but we’ll do our best to fix things quickly.
9. Changes to These Terms
We might update these Terms occasionally, especially if laws change or we add new features. When we do, we’ll update the date at the top. Your continued use of the site means you accept the new version.
