Terms of Use & Disclaimer
Last updated: 24 October 2026
Welcome to Choose A Life You Love, also called CALYL. ❤️
Choose A Life You Love is an independent Australian lifestyle publication, creative studio and shop sharing books, places, products, people, stories, ideas, experiences and other things we love, make, find and explore.
These Terms of Use apply primarily to CALYL Magazine at:
https://www.choosealifeyou.love
Our online shop operates separately at https://shop.choosealifeyou.love and has its own applicable shopping policies.
By accessing or using CALYL Magazine, you agree to use the website responsibly and in accordance with these Terms.
Please read the following information before relying on or otherwise acting on content published through CALYL.
Editorial Content
CALYL publishes lifestyle and editorial content for general information, interest, inspiration and entertainment.
Content may include personal stories, opinions, observations, photographs, journal prompts, reviews, recommendations, creative writing, fiction, experiments, experiences and information gathered during the creation of our work.
The fact that something appears on CALYL does not mean it will be appropriate, useful or desirable for every reader.
We share what we love. You choose what you love.
Readers remain responsible for their own decisions and circumstances.
Not Professional Advice
Content published by CALYL is not intended to replace professional advice.
Nothing on this website should be treated as personalised medical, mental-health, financial, investment, legal, business, nutritional, fitness or other professional advice.
CALYL's writers and creators may share personal experiences, things they have tried, questions they have asked, ideas they are exploring or information they have found useful.
Those experiences are not instructions for what another person should do.
If you require professional advice, please seek assistance from an appropriately qualified professional who can consider your individual circumstances.
Health, Fitness, Food & Wellbeing
CALYL may contain content relating to health, food, fitness, movement, mindfulness, self-care and wellbeing.
This content is general lifestyle and editorial material and is not a substitute for individual medical or healthcare advice.
People have different bodies, circumstances, abilities, medical histories and needs.
Please use your own judgement and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary before making significant changes relating to your health, diet, exercise, medication or wellbeing.
Money, Business & Financial Content
CALYL may discuss money, business ideas, products, income streams, entrepreneurship, affiliate marketing, publishing, advertising, investments, assets or other financial topics.
This content reflects editorial research, personal experience, creative exploration or projects being developed in real time.
It is not financial, investment, tax, accounting, legal or business advice.
Results are never guaranteed.
Something that worked, failed or was attempted by CALYL or someone featured on CALYL may produce completely different results for another person.
Fiction & Creative Work
CALYL publishes fiction and other creative work.
Fictional characters, businesses, organisations, events, conversations, financial arrangements, products and scenarios may be invented, altered, combined or used creatively for storytelling purposes.
Fiction should not be interpreted as a factual account, professional instruction or representation that a fictional outcome can or will occur in real life.
Where real products, places, businesses, people or cultural references appear within creative work, their inclusion does not necessarily indicate sponsorship, endorsement, partnership or affiliation.
Journals & Journal Prompts
CALYL creates and publishes journals and journal prompts designed to encourage personal reflection.
The questions are prompts.
The answers belong to you.
CALYL does not provide a correct answer, expected outcome or prescribed way to complete a journal.
Our journals are not substitutes for professional medical, psychological, therapeutic, financial, legal or other advice.
Accuracy & Changing Information
We make reasonable efforts to create useful and accurate content, but CALYL is a living publication and information can change.
Prices change.
Businesses close.
Products change.
Links break.
Places change their opening hours.
Services change their terms.
People change their minds.
And sometimes we simply make mistakes.
CALYL does not guarantee that every piece of information on the website will always be complete, current or error-free.
Where something is important to your decision, please check the information directly with the relevant business, organisation, professional or authoritative source.
If you notice something that appears to be incorrect, you are welcome to contact CALYL.
Commercial Relationships
CALYL may earn money through advertising, affiliate or paid links, sponsored content, gifted products or experiences, partnerships, licensing, commissions, its own products and services, and other commercial arrangements.
Relevant commercial relationships will be clearly disclosed.
Our editorial rule remains simple:
Love leads. ❤️
A commercial relationship does not automatically determine what CALYL chooses to write about, recommend or love.
For more information, please read our Affiliate, Advertising & Commercial Disclosure.
Affiliate & External Links
CALYL may link to websites, products, services, retailers, booking platforms, creators and other third parties.
Some links may be affiliate or paid links.
Once you leave CALYL, the external website or service is responsible for its own content, products, terms, privacy practices, pricing, availability and customer service.
CALYL does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for changes made to them.
Please review the relevant third party's information before making a purchase, booking, subscription or other commitment.
Products & Purchases
CALYL creates and sells books, journals, digital products, stationery, creative work and other products.
Our online shop is available at:

Purchases made through CALYL Shop are subject to the applicable product descriptions, checkout terms, shipping, returns, refunds and other policies provided through Shopify.
Some products may also be available through other retailers or platforms, whose applicable terms may apply.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.

Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, original content created for Choose A Life You Love — including original writing, journal prompts, photographs, illustrations, graphics, designs, books, downloadable materials and other creative work — remains the intellectual property of its respective owner.
You may read, view and share links to publicly available CALYL content for ordinary personal use.
You may not reproduce, republish, sell, distribute, commercially exploit or present substantial CALYL content as your own without permission, except where permitted by law.
Where content belongs to another creator, photographer, artist, brand, publisher or rights holder, ownership remains with that respective rights holder.
If you would like to license or republish original CALYL work, please contact us.
Editorial Photographs, Contributions & Permissions
CALYL may publish photographs, stories, artwork, interviews, quotations and other material supplied by contributors, businesses, photographers, makers or other rights holders.
Unless otherwise agreed, contributors retain ownership of their original work.
Providing material for editorial consideration does not automatically guarantee publication, payment or a commercial relationship.
Before publishing contributed material, CALYL aims to establish the permissions necessary for its intended use.
Permission to publish a photograph, story or other work in one editorial does not automatically authorise unrelated commercial uses, advertising campaigns, product reproduction or resale.
Any specific arrangements concerning licensing, credit, payment, permitted uses or ownership should be agreed separately where necessary.
Contributors should ensure that material they provide is theirs to share and that they have the necessary permissions from relevant rights holders.
Artificial Intelligence & Creative Tools
CALYL may use artificial intelligence and other digital tools as part of its creative and production processes.
These tools may assist with writing, editing, brainstorming, research, illustration, image creation, design, formatting, coding or other aspects of production.
The extent and nature of their use may vary between projects.
CALYL does not represent AI-generated or AI-assisted material as human-created where doing so would be materially misleading.
Reader Submissions & Communications
If you contact CALYL, suggest something, introduce a product or maker, or submit material for editorial consideration, doing so does not guarantee publication, coverage, payment or a commercial relationship.
Please do not send confidential, proprietary or commercially sensitive information unless an appropriate arrangement has been agreed beforehand.
You remain responsible for ensuring that material you submit is yours to share and does not knowingly infringe another person's rights.
Any specific arrangements involving publication, licensing, payment or ownership should be agreed separately where necessary.
Comments & Community Participation
Where CALYL allows comments or other reader participation, please interact respectfully.
Content that is unlawful, abusive, threatening, discriminatory, deliberately misleading, spam, infringing or otherwise inappropriate may be moderated or removed.
CALYL may restrict access to interactive features where reasonably necessary to protect the publication or its readers.
Availability of the Website
CALYL may change, update, archive, remove or reorganise content over time.
We may also change the website, its features, products or services without notice.
We do not guarantee that the website or every piece of content will always remain available.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CALYL is not responsible for loss or damage arising solely from a reader choosing to rely on general editorial content without considering whether it is appropriate for their individual circumstances.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
Privacy
CALYL Magazine has its own Privacy Policy explaining how information relating to website visitors, subscribers, editorial enquiries and other interactions may be handled.
CALYL Shop also provides privacy information relevant to shopping, payments and customer transactions.
Please review the applicable policies for further information.
Changes to These Terms
CALYL will continue to grow and change.
These Terms may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the publication, products, services, technology, commercial activities or applicable requirements.
The latest version will appear on this page with the most recent update date.
