To support this, we ask that all participants observe the following guidelines:

All Steader Life content—including designs, products, courses, and any features of the services—is for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not sell, resell, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, or exploit any content for commercial purposes unless explicitly authorized in writing by Steader Life.

You may not reproduce, copy, sell, distribute, or create derivative works from these designs for any purpose. Any unauthorized use, including for personal profit, online resale, social media promotion, or physical replication, is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

Our sites may include links to other websites or resources. Steader Life doesn’t control these sites and isn’t responsible for their content, availability, or any losses or damages resulting from your use of them. Any dealings you have with third parties are solely between you and that third party.
Consent To Tracking & Cookies Policy
To provide a better user experience and to understand how visitors interact with our website, we use cookies and other tracking technologies. These tools may collect information such as browsing behavior, preferences, and engagement with our content.
In compliance with applicable privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, your consent is required before tracking can occur. By using our site, you acknowledge that certain cookies are essential for functionality, and you may be asked to provide consent before any non-essential tracking takes place.
Our website uses a consent management tool (such as WPConsent) to display a cookie banner and manage your preferences. You can update or withdraw your consent at any time through the banner or your browser settings.
For more information on how we collect, use, and protect your data, please see our Privacy Policy above.
Social Networking
If you log in or interact with our services through social media, certain information may be shared with us according to our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for how third-party sites handle your information, nor for the accuracy, availability, or reliability of content posted on those platforms.
Affiliate Disclosure
We may earn compensation if you click links or make purchases through our affiliate or referral programs. Sponsored or paid content will always be labeled. Using these links does not increase your cost, and we aren’t responsible for any issues with third-party products or services.
User Content
When you upload, post, or share any content—photos, videos, reviews, or other materials—you represent that you have the rights to share it. By doing so, you grant Steader Life a worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, adapt, publish, distribute, and display your content for any purpose, including commercial use, without further notice or compensation. Steader Life may preserve, modify, or disclose content as needed to comply with laws, enforce terms, or protect our rights and the safety of our users.
Contributor & List-for-Fee Services
For courses or content submitted by contributors, Steader Life acts only as a facilitator. Contributors retain ownership of their materials. Our role is limited to providing the platform, accepting and redistributing payments (minus fees), and handling customer service, tracking, and statistics related to course access. Steader Life does not claim ownership of contributor content.
Payment Terms
By purchasing any services, you agree to provide valid and current payment information (such as a credit card or other accepted payment method) and represent that you are authorized to use it. You must promptly update your account with any changes to billing details. You authorize Steader Life to charge your selected payment method for all chosen services, including applicable taxes, until your account is terminated. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any required taxes on income earned through the services, other than U.S. taxes based on Steader Life’s net income. If you dispute a charge, you must notify us within thirty (30) days of the charge date. Steader Life reserves the right to change its prices at any time, and your continued use of the services after such changes constitutes your agreement to pay the updated amounts.
Shipping Policy
We currently ship within the continental United States only. At this time, we do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, or international destinations. Orders must be shipped to a valid physical street address. We cannot guarantee delivery to P.O. Boxes, and we are not responsible for packages addressed to a P.O. Box that fail to arrive.
We use major carriers for delivery. Shipping costs are automatically calculated at checkout based on your order and location. Currently, eligible orders of $200 or more in qualifying products may receive free shipping within our shipping range. From time to time, we offer free shipping promotions. On designated “stack days,” this threshold may be temporarily lowered to orders $100 or more. Please note that oversized, overweight, or otherwise non-qualifying items may be excluded from free or reduced shipping offers.
Customers are responsible for any additional tariffs, fees, or surcharges that may apply to their order.
We are not responsible for items lost or damaged in transit. However, if your order is lost or arrives damaged, we will gladly assist you in filing a claim with the shipping carrier.
Please note that shipping costs are non-refundable, even if an item is returned. For details on returns, including our policy of accepting returns only for manufacturing errors, please refer to our Return Policy below.
Return & Refund Policy
Because each item in our shop is created, sourced, or prepared specifically for your order, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges. If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us right away.
We cannot accept returns or exchanges for reasons such as buyer’s remorse, dislike of design, or sizing/fit issues. Please review product details, sizing charts, and shipping information carefully before ordering.
Refunds or replacements will only be issued if the item arrives damaged, defective, or with a major production error. In such cases, you must contact us within 5 business days of delivery with photos and a description of the issue. Claims made after this window cannot be honored.
For purchases made through a mobile device or third-party marketplace, that platform’s refund policy will apply, and Steader Life has no responsibility or liability for issuing refunds under such policies.
Steader Life reserves the right to deny any return, refund, or replacement request that does not meet these requirements or that we determine to be fraudulent or abusive.
Indemnity & Release
You agree to release, defend, and hold Steader Life and its affiliates harmless from any losses, claims, or damages—including legal fees—arising from your use of our services, your content, or your violation of these Terms.
Disclaimer Of Warranties
Our services and products are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no guarantees about the accuracy, reliability, safety, or quality of our services, content, or the behavior of other users.
Limitation Of Liability
Steader Life is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for losses exceeding what you’ve paid us in the last six months (or $100, whichever is greater). Some jurisdictions may limit this disclaimer. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction is to stop using our services.
Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
Most disputes between you and Steader Life will be resolved through individual binding arbitration near Greenup County, KY. You cannot bring class actions or representative claims. Exceptions: intellectual property disputes or small claims within applicable court limits. Arbitration procedures govern the resolution of disputes.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account, content, or access to services at our discretion, with or without notice, for violations or inactivity. We are not liable for any losses caused by termination or discontinuation of services.
We reserve the right to:
Deny any application to our programs, or
Terminate any participant’s relationship with Steader Life, LLC at any time, for any reason, without explanation.
Disputes Between Users
