Terms of Use

These terms concern use of the Dr. MJ Grines website operated by Grines Media Group LLC. They do not create an engagement agreement or establish purchase-specific terms.

Use the website lawfully and respectfully. Do not attempt to access private administrative areas without authorization, interfere with the website’s operation, submit malicious material, or use forms for spam or impersonation. Provide accurate contact information when requesting a response or a download.

Original writing and other original website materials remain the intellectual property of their respective rights holders, including Dr. MJ Grines and Grines Media Group LLC where applicable. Access to the website or a free download does not transfer ownership of that content.

You may read materials and share links to their original pages. Other copying, adaptation, redistribution, resale, or commercial use requires permission unless a stated license or applicable law permits it. Follow any usage terms accompanying an individual resource, and preserve author and source attribution when using material as permitted.

Historical photographs, quotations, linked research, and other third-party materials belong to their respective rights holders or may be available under public-domain or other stated usage conditions. Their inclusion does not mean Grines Media Group LLC owns them.

Consult the source attribution and the original collection’s rights information before reusing third-party materials. A statement such as “no known restrictions on reproduction” reflects the source’s guidance and is not a blanket guarantee of unrestricted use in every context.

Website articles, resources, research, and commentary are provided for educational and informational purposes. They are not individualized legal, employment, financial, or other professional advice. Consider the context of the material and seek advice appropriate to your circumstances.

Submitting an inquiry does not establish a consulting relationship, reserve an event date, or confirm an engagement. Any professional engagement requires separately agreed arrangements.

The website links to external sources and services. Those services are operated separately, and their availability, content, privacy practices, and terms are governed by their providers. Linking does not establish control over those services.

Black History 101 contributions are processed through Stripe’s external checkout. Buy Me a Coffee is a separate support destination. Contributions are not represented as tax-deductible donations.

When approved Shop products are available, purchase buttons direct visitors to external checkout, which may include Payhip, Printify, or another identified provider. The website does not process card payments itself. Review the checkout’s applicable terms before completing a transaction.

These website terms do not establish product-specific refund, cancellation, delivery, or fulfillment conditions or promise a particular project release date. Consult the applicable product information and external checkout terms before completing a purchase.

The Privacy Policy explains information collected through inquiries, newsletter signup, and resource downloads.

Website content and availability may change. Changes to these terms will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. These terms do not override rights provided by law.
