MEADOW MUSINGS
Terms of Use
Last updated: November 8, 2026
Welcome to the Meadow. We are glad you’re here. These terms explain how the stories, illustrations, narration, community, and patron offerings may be enjoyed and used.
By using this website, you agree to these Terms to the extent enforceable under applicable law. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or its paid services.
1. What Meadow Musings Is
Meadow Musings is a collection of original farm-inspired fiction, hand-painted artwork, author narration, and related creative material by Michelle Parsley. Some content is free to enjoy; other content or benefits may be available through paid patron memberships, one-time purchases, or gifts. These Terms govern use of this website and its content. Separate terms disclosed during a particular purchase may also apply.
2. Original Work and Copyright
Unless otherwise identified, the original stories, character dialogue, watercolor and gouache illustrations, photographs, videos, recorded narration, artwork, designs, and other original creative content on Meadow Musings belong to Michelle Parsley. All rights are reserved except for uses expressly permitted here or by applicable law. Some included material, including Bible translations and licensed music recordings, belongs to its respective rights holders and is used under applicable permissions or licenses.
3. Welcome Uses
You may read, watch, and listen to publicly available material for personal, family, non-commercial enjoyment. You may share direct links to Meadow Musings pages and use the sharing features supplied by the platform on which an original post appears. A brief attributed excerpt may be used where permitted by applicable law. Linking to a story is always preferable to copying its text or illustrations.
4. Reuse Requires Permission
Except as allowed by applicable law or a separate written license, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, adapt, translate, perform, record, upload, or publicly display entire stories, substantial portions of stories, narration recordings, paintings, illustrations, downloads, or other protected material without prior written permission. Purchasing a book, digital product, or patron membership grants access to the item or benefits described; it does not transfer copyright or grant commercial reproduction rights.
5. Scraping, Automated Use, and AI
You may not use the website or its original creative materials for unauthorized bulk harvesting, dataset creation, content scraping, or training, fine-tuning, or generating substitute works with artificial intelligence or machine-learning systems without permission, except where applicable law gives you a right that cannot be restricted by these Terms. These conditions describe permitted website use; they are not a guarantee that technological copying can be prevented.
6. Social Media, Sharing, and Attribution
You are welcome to share a direct link or use a social platform’s original sharing tools. Downloading or capturing an illustration, recording, story, photograph, or video to post as your own upload is not the same as sharing the original. Attribution alone does not create permission to republish a copyrighted work. Social media platforms may have separate terms that govern content posted directly to those platforms.
7. Fiction, Faith, and Real Farm Life
These stories are fiction inspired by real farm animals and experiences. Animal dialogue, thoughts, interpretations, timing, characters, and events may be imagined, altered, combined, or dramatized. The stories express the author’s creative perspective and Christian faith; they should not be understood as literal farm reports, veterinary instructions, agricultural advice, or promises about animal behavior. Visitors are responsible for seeking qualified guidance for actual animal-health, farm-safety, or other professional decisions.
8. Children and Families
Families are welcome to read and listen together. Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of the website. Contact forms, email registration, account creation, paid memberships, and purchases are intended for adults. Please do not allow children under 13 to provide names, email addresses, photographs, or other personal information through our forms or community areas. Additional legal protections for children’s information still apply when required; a statement about adult use does not replace those protections. See our Privacy & Cookies Policy.
9. Private Farm Property
Meadow Musings is inspired by life at a private working farm. Viewing stories, following social accounts, buying products, or joining a membership does not provide permission to visit the farm, enter private property, meet the animals, photograph the farm, or arrange an unscheduled appointment. In-person access, if ever available, requires advance, express permission.
10. Patron Memberships and Benefits
Patron memberships support the continued creation of original stories and artwork. Each membership includes only the access, benefits, and eligibility conditions stated in the applicable offer at the time of purchase. Behind-the-scenes material, previews, printables, polls, and other extras may be offered occasionally; no fixed publishing schedule is promised unless an individual offer explicitly states otherwise. Where a membership offer promises a physical gift, an annual ornament, early purchasing opportunity, or other specific benefit, the stated eligibility, timing, and fulfillment terms for that offer must be honored.
11. Recurring Charges and Cancellation
Monthly patron memberships automatically renew at the amount and interval disclosed on the offer and checkout screen until canceled. To cancel online, sign in to your Meadow Musings account using a web browser, open Settings > Billing, and choose Cancel subscription for the applicable membership. This self-service option is enabled for eligible subscriptions. All current Meadow Musings paid memberships use Kajabi Payments. If you cannot cancel through your billing portal, use the Contact page to request help before your next renewal; we will respond to cancellation requests promptly. Canceling future billing does not itself refund a past charge. Existing consumer rights and the terms of your specific purchase still apply.
12. One-Time Gifts, Purchases, and Print Editions
A one-time support gift is not a recurring subscription and does not provide membership access unless the offer explicitly says it does. Such gifts are voluntary payments in support of the creative work, not tax-deductible charitable contributions. Prices, delivery, access, availability, and any applicable refund or return policy for books, artwork, prints, digital materials, or other products should be disclosed in the applicable offer or at checkout. Purchases through outside bookstores or print providers are also subject to those sellers’ purchase and return terms.
13. Refunds and Order Concerns
Refund and cancellation terms may vary by product, membership, and payment method. Review the specific offer and checkout disclosures before buying. If you believe a charge is incorrect or an item or promised benefit has not been provided, contact Meadow Musings Contact page with the purchase details. Nothing in these Terms limits a consumer right or remedy that cannot legally be waived. A cancellation is not the same as a refund.
14. Accounts and Community Participation
If you create an account or participate in a patron area, use accurate information and keep your login credentials secure. Do not harass other members, impersonate others, share credentials, distribute another person’s private information, submit unlawful or infringing material, or interfere with the website. We may moderate community content and restrict access for material misuse, subject to applicable law and any paid-access obligations.
15. Content Submitted by Visitors
You are responsible for ensuring that any words, photographs, reviews, questions, or other materials you submit are lawful and that you have the rights and consents needed to share them. You retain ownership of content you submit. By posting through an available website or community feature, you permit Meadow Musings to store and display that content as reasonably necessary to operate that feature. Separate permission will be requested before using a visitor’s privately submitted photograph or personal story in advertising or other independent promotional work.
16. Privacy, Cookies, and Service Providers
The website may use third-party services for hosting, account management, analytics, forms, email, and payment processing. Please review the separate Privacy & Cookies Policy for information about personal data and cookies. That policy should reflect the actual services used by the website; third-party services also have their own applicable policies.
17. Other Websites and Platforms
Links may lead to other websites, social media platforms, retailers, or services. We do not control their content, security, terms, or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement of every statement or activity on the linked site.
18. Availability and Accuracy
We may correct errors, update stories or illustrations, revise site features, or discontinue free offerings. The website and its content are provided as available, and continuous error-free service cannot be guaranteed. We will not use changes to these Terms to retroactively remove a paid benefit already promised without respecting applicable law and the terms of that purchase.
19. Liability and Legal Rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Meadow Musings and Michelle Parsley are not responsible for losses arising from unauthorized use of the site, reliance on fictional or general informational material as professional advice, interruptions outside our reasonable control, or third-party sites. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, limits non-waivable consumer rights, or excuses failure to provide a paid product or benefit required by an enforceable agreement.
20. Copyright Concerns and Permission Requests
To request a license or report a possible copyright concern involving Meadow Musings, contact Meadow Musings Contact page with enough information to identify the material. Permission to reuse original writing, illustrations, audio, or video must be provided in writing. No response does not mean permission has been granted.
21. Changes, Governing Law, and Contact
We may revise these Terms as the website and its offerings change. The current version and effective date will appear on this page. Any changes affecting an existing paid purchase will be subject to applicable law and any agreed purchase terms. These Terms are governed by the laws of Tennessee to the extent legally appropriate. Questions may be sent to Meadow Musings Contact page.
For questions about rights or permission requests, please contact Meadow Musings.
