If you have something to the discussion, that won’t fit into a comment, we want to hear about it. Please contact us at:

We would be happy to allow you to reprint our articles and resources on your related web site or in your electronic or print communications. We do, however, require three things in return.
- We ask that all articles or resources be reprinted in their entirety
including the “resource box” (author and site information)
and links back to our site as provided with each article or resource. - Do not simply link to our article or resource within a frame of your
page, etc. You must republish the work on your site, on your servers. - If you have a moment, please email us and let us know when and where
- our work is appearing. If at all possible, we’d appreciate getting a heads
up in advance, but we’re always interested in what others in our field are
covering and what they have to say about our topics.
Content submissions:
We welcome and encourage visitors to add to the content of our sites by submitting pictures, YouTube video links or written content. Your stories from the road and the trenches help us all, but please understand that all content submitted becomes the property of Liz Micik to edit and use at our sole discretion. We cannot guarantee the return of hard copies of original photos, etc. although we will make every effort to if asked.
We provide a link on the website that allows you to upload your own story to us for publication. Submission of a story does not automatically mean that it will be published, nor will it appear instantly even if it is accepted as is, so please don’t click the submit button more than once.
We review all stories to make sure they are in keeping with the site and are acceptable to audience members of all ages. We will edit out excessive links and will not publish stories with bad language, inappropriate behaviors, hate messages, etc. Please don’t waste any of our time trying to comment spam our audience as it just isn’t going to happen.
Liz Micik disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy of the content of this website. Visitors assume all the risk of viewing, reading, using, or relying upon this information. The website makes no such warranty as to the accuracy of any stories written by or submitted to us, published or not. Nor do we warranty the accuracy of the information in any of the books, reports or other products we may recommend to our readers.
If you are a publisher and believe someone has submitted your copyrighted material to our site without your permission, please contact us at info@lizmicik.com, so we can provide correct attribution or remove it. If you are thinking of submitting someone else’s copyrighted work, don’t do it without their prior approval. If you’re not sure if the picture, etc. you want to use is copyrighted, don’t do it and hope it will go unnoticed. It won’t.
If you know of a situation that you think would make a great case study and help others make a clear and responsible decision about whether or not to bring their businesses online, but you aren’t able to write up the story yourself, please contact us directly. That way we can work together to tell the story in the best possible way.
Site privacy policies at at glance We take the privacy of our email list members and site visitors very seriously. Unless directed by law enforcement agents, we have no intention of ever sharing the personal information of any of our members and visitors.
On the other hand, we know that our members and visitors are an open and sharing group, and that we all have a great deal to learn from one another. If you have something to share, we’d love to hear from you,
but would assume that you are also giving us permission in that case to publish your name, and or other identifying information.
The following information covers that big gray area in between and seeks to explain what information we do gather on our site and what we do with it once we have it.
We welcome your comments and questions and ask that you direct them to:
Liz Micik
10356 Monarch Rd.
Roscoe, IL 61073
Or via email to: info@lizmicik.com
Personal identifiers: When you submit a story to us, we assume you are also giving us permission
to include your name, location, and tie that identifying information to any media you also submit. If you request a more private submission, we will use initials or other partial identification only. However, Liz Micik
cannot be held liable for any actions that result from outside parties identifying members from the above sources.
IP Addresses: IP addresses identify individual computers; not people. We collect IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our website, and to track visitor usage of the site. We do not continue to collect IP address information after a visitor has left our site. Nor do we distribute cookies (which are used to track returning visitors to a site).
Information Collection: Liz Micik is the sole owner of all information collected in regards to Liz Micik email list members or site visitors. We collect information at shows, casual meetings, from emails and forms delivered to this website’s email account, downloaded or emailed forms housed on this site, from
our newsletter and other means that may or may not be used to directly affect the content or operation of this website.
Information Sharing: It is not the policy of LizMicik.com to rent or sell personal information to any third parties at this time.
Legal Exceptions: We will disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.
Children and Privacy:
Liz Micik does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe LizMicik.com has any
information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us immediately.
Links:
This site contains links to and from other sites. LizMicik.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites, nor are we responsible for any content on any linked sites or for any goods or services available from them.
LizMicik.com works hard to ensure that the information contained on our web pages is accurate, relevant and of the high quality that our visitors have come to expect. While we reviewed the content and quality of each site that we link to before establishing those links, we cannot be held responsible for any changes in content or quality that may have occurred since we first established that link. We appreciate your comments regarding any linked material you feel may be inappropriate.
Advertisements and Affiliate Relationships:
LizMicik.com does accept and display advertisements from third party vendors. In most cases, Liz Micik is affiliated with the company whose ads appear on our site. Sales affiliate revenues do provide one of our income sources. Whether or not such a relationship does exist, each ad or program placed on our site is considered separately. In other words, our endorsement of Company A’s design templates, for example, does not automatically extend to all products or services sold by Company A.
We take our reputation very seriously, and do not endorse or
recommend programs, products or services we do not believe would be of great benefit to our clients and visitors. Unfortunately, the speed of change on the Internet prevents us from maintaining a day-to-day operating relationship with many of those companies (especially their web content). For that reason, we cannot be held responsible for any changes in those companies, their products, pricing or services.
Changing subscription or database information and options: LizMicik.com encourages all readers to sign up for our RSS feed to be kept up to date with changes on the site.
Changes to this policy:
Liz Micik reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
