The Disclaimer
The straightforward version of what The Calm Business is, what it isn't, and what you should know before you buy, download, or build anything using our materials.
What's covered
General Information
The content on this website, in our emails, inside our digital products, and across all The Calm Business materials is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
We work hard to give you honest, useful, practical information about using AI and automation to grow a small business. But every business is different, every owner is different, and what works beautifully for one person may not work the same way for another.
By using this website or any The Calm Business materials, you acknowledge that you've read this disclaimer and agree to its terms.
Your results will vary.
We talk a lot about what's possible when you use AI and automation thoughtfully in your business. We share stories, strategies, and systems that have worked for us and for others. That's different from promising specific outcomes.
Your results depend on factors we can't control, including:
- Your business model, industry, and current stage
- The time and effort you invest in applying what you learn
- Your starting point — skills, audience, revenue, resources
- Your commitment to showing up consistently
- Market conditions and timing
We make no guarantees about specific financial outcomes, time savings, growth metrics, or any other measurable result. The women we work with get out what they put in, and that's true here too.
This is not professional advice.
The Calm Business is an education, tools, and systems company. We are not licensed financial advisors, attorneys, certified public accountants, tax preparers, medical professionals, or mental health professionals.
Content we share is not a substitute for professional advice specific to your situation. In particular:
- Financial matters: Decisions about pricing, investments, retirement, taxes, business structure, and cash flow should be discussed with a qualified financial advisor, CPA, or tax professional.
- Legal matters: Business formation, contracts, intellectual property, employment law, and compliance should be reviewed by a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
- Tax matters: Every tax situation is unique. Consult a qualified tax professional before making decisions that could affect your tax liability.
The rule of thumb: If a decision could materially affect your money, your legal standing, or your health, bring it to a qualified professional who knows your full situation. Our content is a great starting point, not the finish line.
About AI tools and their limits.
The Calm Business teaches you to use AI tools — including Claude, ChatGPT, and others — to build systems inside your business. We're big believers in what AI can do. We're also clear-eyed about what it can't.
AI tools have real limitations:
- They can produce incorrect, outdated, or fabricated information (commonly called "hallucinations")
- They are not a substitute for human judgment, expertise, or real professional advice
- They work best when you review, verify, and refine their output before acting on it
- Their capabilities and terms of service change frequently
- They may not preserve privacy the way you assume — always read the terms of any AI platform before sharing sensitive information
When you use the prompts, frameworks, and systems we teach, you are building tools to support your decision-making — not replacing the judgment of trained professionals. Treat AI output the way you'd treat a thoughtful first-draft from a smart assistant: useful, worth engaging with, but always reviewed before it becomes final.
We are not responsible for decisions you make based on AI output, whether you generated it using our systems or independently.
Affiliate relationships and partnerships.
Some of the products, services, courses, and tools we mention, recommend, or link to may be affiliate relationships. That means if you click a link and make a purchase, The Calm Business may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Here's our commitment on this: we only recommend tools and programs we actually use, trust, or have vetted. An affiliate commission doesn't change our opinion, and we'd rather leave money on the table than recommend something we wouldn't personally stand behind.
When an affiliate link is included, we'll make that relationship clear in context where required. This disclaimer also serves as a general affiliate disclosure in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.
Testimonials and case studies.
When we share stories, testimonials, case studies, screenshots, or endorsements from clients, students, founders, or community members, those are genuine experiences of real people. We don't invent them and we don't fabricate results.
That said, individual experiences are exactly that — individual. Someone else's win is not a guarantee you'll have the same win. Testimonials should be taken as illustrative of what is possible, not as a predictor of what will happen for you or anyone else.
We sometimes compensate contributors (with discounts, free access, or acknowledgment) in exchange for sharing their experience. Where required, we'll disclose that relationship directly.
Third-party content and links.
Our website, emails, products, and content may contain links to third-party websites, tools, products, or resources. We include these because we think they might be helpful, but we don't control them and we aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms of service.
When you click through to a third-party site, you're leaving The Calm Business. Their policies apply, not ours. Read their terms before you buy, share data, or otherwise engage.
Earnings disclaimer.
If we share revenue figures, income claims, client results, or business growth numbers anywhere in our content, they are shared as illustrations of what has been achieved by us or by specific clients under specific circumstances. They are not representations or guarantees that you will achieve the same, or any particular, financial outcome.
Building a profitable business is hard. It requires real effort, sustained time, skill development, and often capital investment. Most people who start a small business will not become wealthy from it, and we're not here to pretend otherwise.
What we are here to do is give you real tools, real systems, and real strategy. What you do with them is up to you.
Limitation of liability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Calm Business, JLN Consulting LLC, its founder (Jami), employees, contractors, affiliates, and partners are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of this website, our content, our products, our recommendations, or any tools or systems we teach you to build.
This includes — but is not limited to — damages for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or losses resulting from decisions made based on information, opinions, or advice found in our materials or generated by AI tools used in connection with our systems.
Your use of The Calm Business materials is at your own risk. If you're not willing to accept that responsibility, please don't use our content or products.
Updates to this disclaimer.
We may update this disclaimer from time to time as The Calm Business evolves, as laws and regulations change, or as we add new products, affiliate relationships, or tools. When we do, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change.
Continued use of our website, products, or services after we post an updated disclaimer means you accept the updated version. If something changes that materially affects you, we'll do our best to let you know — but ultimately it's on you to check back in from time to time.
If anything in this disclaimer is unclear, or if you want to understand how a specific clause applies to you before you buy or use our materials, we'd rather you ask than guess.
Email us at hello@thecalmbusiness.com and we'll get back to you.
