Terms & Conditions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
MikeyBlackwell.com
Effective date: August 3, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of MikeyBlackwell.com, including its pages, content, links, and online merchandise store (collectively, the "Site"). The Site is operated personally by Mike Blackwell ("Mike Blackwell," "I," "me," or "my").
Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Site, or by placing an order through the Site, you agree to these Terms and to the policies referenced in them. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or place an order.
Questions about these Terms may be sent to Mike Blackwell at mikeyblackwell@gmail.com. For order questions, include the order number, but do not send passwords, full payment-card numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
1. Eligibility and use by minors
You must be able to enter into a legally binding agreement to make a purchase through the Site. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian, and any purchase must be completed or authorized by that adult.
The Site is intended primarily for a general adult audience in the United States and is not directed to children under 13.
2. Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Site, merchandise, service providers, business practices, or applicable law. The revised Terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Changes apply prospectively from the date they are posted unless a different date is stated.
Your continued use of the Site after revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Terms in effect when an order is placed will ordinarily govern that order, except where a change is required by law or is more favorable to the customer.
3. Site content and informational purpose
The Site provides information about Mike Blackwell, music, recordings, performances, creative projects, merchandise, and related activities. Content is provided for general informational, promotional, entertainment, and commercial purposes.
I try to keep Site information accurate and current, but performance dates, appearances, releases, availability, pricing, links, credits, and other details may change. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Site content is not a binding promise that any future event, release, product, or project will occur or remain available.
4. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the Site and its original content are owned by or licensed to Mike Blackwell and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, publicity-right, and other intellectual-property laws. Protected content may include:
songs, compositions, lyrics, arrangements, recordings, and performances;
videos, photographs, artwork, posters, graphics, logos, and merchandise designs;
written biographies, stories, articles, descriptions, and other text;
the Site's selection, arrangement, appearance, and design; and
names, logos, titles, marks, and source identifiers, whether registered or unregistered.
Third-party content, names, trademarks, recordings, video, artwork, and embedded media remain the property of their respective owners.
5. Limited permission to use the Site
Subject to these Terms, you may access and view the Site and may share ordinary links to public Site pages for personal, noncommercial purposes. You may also use standard sharing functions provided by the Site or by an embedded platform.
No other rights are granted. Without prior written permission from the applicable rights holder, you may not:
reproduce, download, distribute, sell, license, publish, modify, adapt, or create derivative works from Site content;
use music, recordings, lyrics, photographs, artwork, or video in a film, advertisement, podcast, game, political message, commercial project, artificial-intelligence training dataset, or other production;
publicly perform, broadcast, transmit, or synchronize Site content except through a properly licensed service or as otherwise allowed by law;
remove copyright, trademark, attribution, watermark, or rights-management notices;
frame or mirror substantial portions of the Site;
falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or approval; or
use Site content in a way that violates law or another person's rights.
Rights provided by applicable law, including legitimate fair use, are not restricted by these Terms.
6. Music and embedded media
Music and video available through embedded YouTube, Spotify, or other third-party players are provided for listening or viewing through those authorized players. Your use of an embedded player is also governed by the provider's terms, licenses, and privacy practices.
Access to an embedded song or video does not transfer ownership or grant a license to copy, download, synchronize, sample, remix, redistribute, commercially exploit, or publicly perform that content. Playback availability may change or end without notice because of licensing, platform, geographic, account, or technical restrictions.
7. Third-party websites and services
The Site may link to or display services operated by Shopify, Printify, YouTube, Spotify, social-media networks, music services, ticketing providers, venues, and other third parties. Those services are not controlled by me, even when their content appears within the Site.
Your interactions with a third-party service are governed by that provider's own terms and policies. I do not warrant and am not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, accessibility, pricing, transactions, data practices, or conduct. A link or embed does not necessarily constitute endorsement of every statement, product, or practice of the third party.
8. Prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
use the Site for an unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, threatening, or deceptive purpose;
interfere with Site operation, security, servers, networks, checkout, or another visitor's use;
introduce malware, harmful code, automated attacks, or excessive requests;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, transaction, or nonpublic area;
scrape, harvest, crawl, index, or extract Site content or data through automated means except through ordinary search-engine indexing or with written permission;
impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, authority, affiliation, or payment information;
violate intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
manipulate prices, discounts, reviews, tracking, orders, or Site functionality; or
assist another person in doing any of the above.
I may restrict or block access, cancel affected transactions, preserve evidence, or report suspected unlawful activity when reasonably necessary to protect the Site, customers, service providers, or other persons.
9. Merchandise store and service providers
The merchandise store is operated through Shopify. Products are made to order and fulfilled by Printify and participating print providers. Payment processors, carriers, and other providers may also participate in a transaction.
Although these providers perform important parts of the transaction, your purchase from the MikeyBlackwell.com store is subject to these Terms and the store policies displayed at checkout. You may also be required to accept or comply with provider terms that apply directly to their services.
10. Product information and availability
I try to describe and display merchandise accurately. However:
colors may appear differently because of screens, lighting, materials, inks, and production methods;
placement, scale, texture, and minor details may vary within reasonable production tolerances;
product dimensions and sizing may vary within manufacturer tolerances;
mockups are illustrative and may not exactly represent the finished item; and
products, sizes, colors, print providers, and materials may change or become unavailable.
I may correct descriptions, images, prices, promotions, availability, or other errors. If a material correction affects an unfulfilled order, I may contact you, offer a reasonable substitute where appropriate, or cancel and refund the affected item.
11. Prices, taxes, and payment
Prices are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Shipping charges, sales tax, and other applicable charges are shown during checkout when required. Prices and promotions may change without notice, but a change will not ordinarily alter a completed order except to correct an obvious error or as required by law.
You represent that the payment information submitted is accurate and that you are authorized to use the selected payment method. Payment processing is handled by Shopify and/or its payment providers. I do not receive or store full payment-card numbers through the Site.
If an obvious pricing or product error occurs, I may cancel the affected order and issue a refund rather than fulfill it at the erroneous price, subject to applicable law.
12. Order submission, acceptance, and cancellation
An order confirmation acknowledges that the order was received; it does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted for production. An order may be refused or canceled for reasons including:
product or material unavailability;
suspected fraud, unauthorized payment, or inaccurate information;
an obvious pricing, description, or technical error;
shipping restrictions or an invalid address;
violation of these Terms or another applicable policy; or
circumstances preventing lawful or practical fulfillment.
If a paid order is canceled by me, the amount charged for the canceled portion will be refunded through the original payment method, subject to payment-provider processing times.
Because merchandise is made to order, changes or customer-requested cancellations may not be possible after an order enters production. Contact mikeyblackwell@gmail.com immediately if you notice an order or address error, but a change or cancellation is not guaranteed.
13. Shipping and delivery
Production, shipping, tracking, address responsibilities, delivery estimates, carrier delays, lost packages, and damaged shipments are governed by the Shipping Policy posted on the Site and by information presented during checkout.
Delivery dates are estimates unless expressly identified as guaranteed. Risk of loss and legal title transfer as provided by applicable law; nothing in these Terms overrides rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.
14. Returns, refunds, and product problems
Returns, replacements, refunds, and exchanges are governed by any Refund or Return Policy displayed on the Site or during checkout. Because merchandise is produced to order, return or exchange rights may be limited except where an item is damaged, defective, misprinted, incorrect, or where applicable law requires otherwise.
Damaged, defective, misprinted, or incorrect items should be reported to mikeyblackwell@gmail.com within 30 days of delivery, with the order number, a description of the issue, and clear photographs requested by the Shipping Policy. Do not return merchandise to an address on the package unless return instructions are provided.
Nothing in these Terms limits any refund, cancellation, warranty, or consumer right that cannot be waived under applicable law.
15. Privacy and accessibility
Information handling is described in the Privacy Policy posted on the Site. Accessibility goals, known limitations, and the process for requesting assistance are described in the Accessibility Statement posted on the Site. Those documents are incorporated into these Terms to the extent applicable.
16. Electronic communications
When you use the Site, place an order, or email me, you consent to receive transaction-related communications electronically, including order confirmations, receipts, shipping notices, policy notices, and responses to requests. You are responsible for providing and maintaining an accurate email address.
Electronic communications satisfy legal requirements that communications be in writing to the extent permitted by law. This section does not enroll you in promotional marketing.
17. Copyright and rights concerns
If you believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal right, email mikeyblackwell@gmail.com with:
your name and contact information;
identification of the protected work or right;
the exact Site page and content at issue;
an explanation of the claimed infringement;
a statement that the information supplied is accurate; and
documentation showing your ownership or authority when reasonably requested.
I may remove, restrict, investigate, or restore content as appropriate. Submitting a false or misleading complaint may create legal liability.
18. Site availability and termination
I may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Site, store, content, or feature at any time. I do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, provider outages, security incidents, technical problems, rights restrictions, or other events may temporarily or permanently affect availability.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property rights, disclaimers, liability limitations, dispute terms, and payment obligations—will continue to apply.
19. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available." I disclaim warranties not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Product warranties and remedies, if any, are limited to those expressly stated in the applicable store policy or required by law. I do not warrant that Site content is complete, current, secure, or suitable for every purpose, or that third-party services will remain available.
Some jurisdictions do not allow particular warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions apply only to the maximum extent permitted, and these Terms do not remove rights that cannot legally be excluded.
20. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mike Blackwell will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity; or losses resulting from third-party platforms, carrier conduct, unauthorized access, service interruption, or reliance on Site information.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded, including liability arising from intentional misconduct where applicable. Your remedies relating to a merchandise order remain subject to applicable consumer law and the store policies governing that order.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Site, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights. This obligation does not require you to indemnify me for my own negligence, unlawful conduct, or breach of these Terms.
22. Informal dispute resolution
Before filing a lawsuit arising from the Site, these Terms, or a merchandise transaction, the complaining party must first send written notice describing the dispute and requested resolution. Notices to Mike Blackwell must be sent to mikeyblackwell@gmail.com with the subject line "Legal Dispute Notice."
The notice should include the sender's name and contact information, any relevant order number, the facts underlying the dispute, the legal or contractual basis of the claim if known, and the requested resolution. The parties will then have 30 days after receipt of the notice to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.
This informal process does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief, filing when necessary to preserve a claim before a legal deadline expires, or using a small-claims procedure when eligible. The parties may agree in writing to extend the 30-day period.
23. Governing law and courts
These Terms and disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law applies or another jurisdiction's non-waivable consumer law must apply.
After completing the informal process in Section 22, any lawsuit must be filed in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Arkansas, unless applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to file elsewhere. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts to the extent permitted by law.
These Terms do not require binding arbitration and do not contain a class-action waiver.
24. General provisions
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Accessibility Statement, Shipping Policy, any Refund or Return Policy, and terms displayed during checkout, constitute the agreement concerning use of the Site and store.
Order of control. Specific checkout or product terms control over conflicting general language in these Terms for the applicable transaction. Mandatory law controls over any conflicting provision.
Severability. If a provision is found unlawful or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without written consent. I may assign rights and obligations in connection with a transfer of the Site or related business assets, subject to applicable law.
Headings. Section headings are provided for convenience and do not limit the meaning of the Terms.
