The rules

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 22, 2026

Welcome to Her Own Compass (herowncompass.com). By using this site you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

What this site is

Her Own Compass publishes educational content about personal finance and travel for women managing money on one income. Nothing here is financial, legal, tax, or medical advice — see the Disclaimer, which is part of these terms.

Your license to the content

All content — articles, images, spreadsheets, and tools — is owned by Her Own Compass or its licensors. You may read, share links to, and quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back. You may not republish full articles, sell or redistribute our downloads, or use our content to train commercial datasets without written permission.

Acceptable use

  • Don’t attempt to breach, overload, or scrape the site.
  • Don’t misrepresent yourself in the contact form or comments.
  • Don’t use the site for anything unlawful.

Affiliate links & advertising

The site is funded by advertising and affiliate commissions, disclosed per our Affiliate Disclosure. Third-party merchants and advertisers have their own terms; purchases you make through links are contracts between you and the merchant, not with us.

External links

We link to third-party sites we believe are useful. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content, prices, or policies — check details (especially prices and coverage terms) directly with the provider before buying.

No warranties & limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is”. We work hard to keep information accurate and updated (see our Editorial Guidelines), but prices, rates, and program rules change without notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Her Own Compass is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Financial decisions are yours; consult a licensed professional for advice specific to your situation.

Governing law & changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of the site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Colorado, and you agree to that venue. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. We may update these terms; continued use after changes means acceptance. Questions: contact us.
