Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of QUEEENGOLD (queeengold.com). By reading or using this blog in any way, you're agreeing to the points below. If something here doesn't sit right with you, the simplest option is to stop using the site — but I've tried to keep these terms reasonable and written in plain language rather than dense legal boilerplate.

What this blog is

QUEEENGOLD is an independently run educational blog about gold, jewelry, and gemstones, written from real experience in the jewelry industry. It also occasionally covers general personal finance topics as they relate to saving, investing, and making informed purchasing decisions. It is not a retail store, a jewelry appraisal service, or a licensed financial institution.

Use of content

Everything published on this blog — articles, images, graphics, and original text — is the intellectual property of QUEEENGOLD unless otherwise credited. You're welcome to read, share links to, and reference this content for personal, non-commercial purposes. However, you may not:

  • Copy and republish full articles or substantial portions of them elsewhere without permission
  • Use content from this blog for commercial purposes without prior written consent
  • Present this content as your own work
  • Scrape, mirror, or systematically extract content from this site using automated tools

If you'd like to quote or reference an article, a short excerpt with a clear link back to the original post on queeengold.com is generally fine and appreciated. If you're unsure whether your intended use is okay, feel free to reach out and ask before doing it.

No professional relationship

Reading this blog, commenting on it, or contacting me through it does not create any kind of professional, advisory, or fiduciary relationship. Content here is general information, not a personalized service. See the Disclaimer page for more detail on the limits of the advice-adjacent content (jewelry, gemstone, and finance topics) published here.

Comments and user conduct

If commenting is enabled on this blog, you're welcome to share your thoughts, questions, and experiences. However, comments that are abusive, spammy, contain misleading claims, promote unrelated products or services, or are otherwise disruptive may be removed at my discretion, without notice or explanation. Repeated violations may result in a reader being blocked from commenting further.

You're responsible for whatever you post in the comments section. Don't post anything defamatory, false, or infringing on someone else's rights.

Accuracy and changes to content

I make a genuine effort to keep information on this blog accurate and useful, but jewelry standards, gold prices, gemstone grading conventions, and financial markets all change over time. Older articles may not reflect current prices, standards, or best practices. I reserve the right to update, correct, or remove content on this blog at any time, without prior notice.

Third-party links and services

This blog may link to third-party websites, and may run third-party services such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense. I don't control those third parties and I'm not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of any third-party site or service linked from this blog is governed by that third party's own terms, not these.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, QUEEENGOLD and its author are not liable for any loss, damage, or harm — financial or otherwise — arising from your use of this blog, your reliance on its content, or any decision (purchasing, investment, or otherwise) made based on what you've read here. This blog is provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Availability of the site

I make no guarantee that this blog will be available at all times, free of errors, or uninterrupted. The site runs on Blogger, a third-party platform, and its uptime and functionality are partly dependent on that platform.

Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be revised from time to time as the blog evolves. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing approach

These Terms are intended to be read and applied in good faith, in a way that's reasonable for an independent educational blog rather than a large commercial operation. If a dispute arises, I'd genuinely prefer we sort it out directly rather than through anything adversarial — reach out through the contact details listed elsewhere on this blog.

Contact

Questions about these Terms are welcome. You can reach out through the contact information provided elsewhere on this blog.
