Content and copyright
Unless stated otherwise, the text, photographs, graphics, videos and other original material on this site are © Adam Z. Lein and are protected by copyright law. Trademarks, product names and logos mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners. Mentioning them does not mean those owners endorse this site, or that this site endorses them.
You are welcome to:
- read, view and share links to any page on the site;
- quote short excerpts for commentary, criticism, news reporting or review, as long as you credit “Book of Adam Z” and link back to the original page;

You may not republish, sell, or otherwise redistribute substantial parts of the site’s content, or use the site’s photos or other media, without written permission. To ask for permission, use the contact form.
If you believe that material on this site infringes your copyright, please contact us with the address of the material and a description of your work, and we will review it promptly.
Comments and other contributions
You may comment on posts and reply from fediverse accounts (such as Mastodon). You are responsible for what you post. By submitting a comment or reply, you confirm that you have the right to post it, and you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, store, reproduce and distribute it on this site and in connection with it, including in the site’s feeds and on the fediverse.
Please do not post anything that:
- is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful or obscene;
- infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
- contains spam, advertising, or links to malware or phishing sites;
- shares someone else’s personal information without their permission;
- impersonates another person.
Comments are reviewed before they appear. We may edit, refuse, or remove any comment for any reason, and we may block anyone who repeatedly breaks these rules. Opinions expressed in comments belong to their authors, not to us.
Acceptable use
When using this site, you agree not to:
- try to gain unauthorized access to the site, its server, or its administration area;
- interfere with or disrupt the site, for example by overloading it or sending malicious code;
- scrape or copy the site’s content in bulk, except for normal indexing by search engines and feed readers;
- use the site for any unlawful purpose.
Affiliate links and product mentions
Some links to shopping sites are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes the price you pay. Prices, availability and product details are set by the retailers, can change at any time, and may differ from what is shown here. Any purchase you make is between you and the retailer.
Opinions, not professional advice
The content on this site reflects personal experiences and opinions and is provided for general information and entertainment only. It is not professional advice of any kind, including technical, financial, legal, medical or safety advice. Always use your own judgment and, where appropriate, consult a qualified professional. Following any instructions, tips or reviews on this site is at your own risk.
Many posts were written years ago. We try to keep the content accurate, but information may be out of date, incomplete or contain errors.
Links to other websites
This site links to and embeds content from many other websites. We don’t control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, services, or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the site.
Disclaimer of warranties
This site and all of its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the site will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free of errors or harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Adam Z. Lein will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this site or its content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adam Z. Lein from any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content you post on this site or from your violation of these Terms.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use this site and how it is used.
Changes to the site and these terms
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time. We may also update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
General
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the site’s owner resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
