Terms of Use

Effective date: November 12, 2026

Welcome

These Terms of Use are the agreement between you and CommonReadiness.com, which publishes Common Readiness, when you use:

• our website at commonreadiness.com, including The Readiness Almanac and the Free Readiness Vault

• our newsletter site at readyup.commonreadiness.com

• the free 72-Hour Checklist and other materials we send or offer

• emails we send from mail.commonreadiness.com

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site or subscribe.

Questions about these terms can go to hello@commonreadiness.com.

Educational only

Common Readiness publishes educational information about household readiness. Our website, newsletter, checklist, and other materials are for general learning. They are not professional advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional in medicine, law, engineering, emergency response, or any other field.

They are also not safety, medical, or legal instructions tailored to you. Conditions, laws, and good practice vary by place and by household. You are responsible for checking local rules, using your own judgment, and getting certified training or professional help when a task could cause harm if it is done wrong.

A short line appears in our website footer: “Educational only. Not medical, legal or professional advice.” That line is part of these terms, not a substitute for them.

AI assistance

Our website footer also says: “Prepared with AI assistance for Common Readiness.” We use AI tools to help research and write. People on the Common Readiness team still review what we publish. AI assistance does not turn our materials into personal advice, and it does not guarantee that every page is complete or current.

Use at your own risk

Readiness is personal. What works in one home may not work in another. We do not promise any particular outcome, including that you will be prepared, safer, or self-sufficient if you follow our materials.

You use the site, the newsletter, and our materials at your own risk. If you choose to store water or food, use tools or fuel, change anything in your home, or take any other step you read about here, you do so as your own decision.

The newsletter and our materials

You can join the Common Readiness newsletter by entering your email on our site or at readyup.commonreadiness.com/subscribe. We use double opt-in: we email you a confirmation, and you are not fully subscribed until you confirm. After you confirm, a welcome email delivers the free 72-Hour Checklist PDF.

The checklist is a two-page printable for working through household basics. The illustrated cover you may see on the website is promotional art. It is not part of the PDF.

Signing up is optional. You can unsubscribe at any time through the link in our emails, or by writing to hello@commonreadiness.com. We do not promise how often we will write, and we may change, pause, or stop the newsletter.

Please use an email address that is yours. If you did not request a confirmation email, you can ignore it.

Our newsletters may include sponsored content. We may also offer a referral program, or Beehiiv recommendations or Boosts. If we do, another newsletter receives your information only when you choose to subscribe to it.

Our use of your email is described in our Privacy Policy at commonreadiness.com/privacy.

If we offer a paid product or subscription, additional terms may apply at checkout. Those terms will describe the offer, price, renewal, cancellation, and any refunds.

Your use of the site

You may use the site for your own lawful, personal learning. Please do not:

• try to break, overload, or probe the site or our email systems

• scrape or copy the site in a way that harms the service or violates these terms

• use the site to send spam or to collect other people’s information

• pretend to be Common Readiness, or misstate your connection to us

• use our materials to provide professional services to others as if they came from a licensed advisor

We may refuse a subscription, or stop offering part of the site, if we need to protect the service or other readers.

Intellectual property

The Common Readiness name, tagline, logos, site design, writing, illustrations, and the 72-Hour Checklist are owned by CommonReadiness.com or by people who have licensed them to us. These terms give you a limited permission to use them. They do not transfer ownership.

You may download and print the checklist, and other free materials we expressly offer, for your personal household use. You may share a copy with family or neighbors for that same personal use.

Please do not sell our materials, republish them as your own product or course, remove notices, or use our name or artwork in a way that suggests we endorse you, without our written permission.

If you want to use something for a class, a community group, or another non-commercial purpose beyond a personal copy, email hello@commonreadiness.com and ask.

Third-party links and services

We link to official guidance, training providers, and other websites we think may be useful. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content or for what happens if you follow a link.

Our website is hosted by Framer. Our newsletter, signup forms, and publication site are provided by Beehiiv. Using those services may also be subject to their terms.

Disclaimers

The site and our materials are provided “as is” and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, about the site or our materials, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted access.

We try to keep information current and carefully sourced, but we may have errors or omissions, and pages may change or go offline.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, CommonReadiness.com and the people who operate Common Readiness are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or opportunity, arising out of your use of the site, the newsletter, or our materials.

Some places do not allow certain limitations. In those places, we limit our liability only as much as the law allows. Nothing in these terms takes away rights that the law says you cannot waive, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where that limit is not permitted.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date. If you keep using the site after a change, that is your acceptance of the new terms. If a change is significant, we will try to say so by email or a notice on the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a dispute has to go to court, the courts of the State of California will have jurisdiction, except where the law in your home place requires otherwise.
