📜 Terms of Use — The Short, Friendly Kind
Effective date: July 2026.
Every website needs a terms page, even a cozy one like ours. Here's ours — written plainly, kept short, and intended to be read with a cup of something warm. By using theemir.com, you're agreeing to the following:
🕯 About Our Content
- It's here to inspire you, personally. The quotes, stories, practices, and affirmations on this site and in the weekly email are offered for your personal inspiration and enjoyment. They're encouragement, not professional advice of any kind.
- Quotes belong to their authors. The quotes in our Quote Library remain the property of their original authors and sources. We collect and share them with attribution, gratefully.
- Our original writing is ours. The stories, reflections, practices, and other original text we write are © The Mir. You're warmly welcome to share them — all we ask is credit and a link back to theemir.com. Please don't republish them as your own or sell them.
🛍 About the Candle Shoppe
- Prices are in US dollars and may change from time to time. The price shown when we confirm your order is the price you pay.
- An order request isn't a binding order. When you send an order request, nothing is final until we write back and confirm by email — that's when we arrange payment and shipping together. Until then, either of us can simply say "actually, never mind" with no hard feelings.
- Shipping, wrapping, and returns work the way our FAQ describes: flat $5 US shipping (free over $40), free handwrapping, and if something arrives broken or you're unhappy, we'll make it right.
"Fine print should be neither fine nor hidden. It should just be print."
— The Mir's one rule of legal writing
⚙️ The Necessary Bits
- The site is provided as-is. We tend this website with great care, but we can't promise it will always be available, error-free, or precisely what you need on a given day. We do our honest best, and that's what we can offer.
- These terms may be updated. If they change, we'll update this page and the effective date at the top. No sneaky midnight revisions.
- Your privacy is covered separately — and cheerfully — in our Privacy Policy.
❓ Questions About Any of This?
Write to us at hello@theemir.com or visit the Contact page. A real human will answer within 1–2 days, in plain English, probably by candlelight.
One free, uplifting email every Sunday evening. That's the whole deal.
No spam, no selling your address, unsubscribe any time with one click.
That's the whole terms page. Told you it was friendly. 🕯
