About these terms

This website, tamigarcia.com, is run by Tami Dee García through [legal business name]. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Using the content

The writing, podcast episodes, videos, photographs, guides, templates, logos, and other material on this site belong to me or the people who gave me permission to use them. You may view, download, and print them for your own personal, non-commercial use.

Without my written permission, please don’t:

• copy, republish, or sell my content or templates,
• use my content to train or build AI products,
• use my name, photographs, or logos in a way that suggests I endorse you.

Teachers, librarians, and community groups are welcome to share links to this site. If you’d like to use the material in a class, program, or publication, email speaker@tamigarcia.com. I’m usually happy to help.

“Heritage Fragments Framework,” [“My Heritage Fragment Exploration Card,” “My Heritage Reconnection Mini-Map,”] and the Cultural Roots Reconnection Club name and logo are my trademarks.

Press materials

The bios and headshots on the Press & Media page may be used to feature, interview, or promote events with Tami Dee García. Please credit photos as [photographer credit, if required], and don’t edit them beyond cropping.

Not professional advice

The content on this site is for education and reflection. It is not legal, medical, mental health, immigration, or professional genealogical advice. Exploring family history can bring up painful experiences. If it does, please reach out to a qualified counselor or professional.

What you share with me

When you send me a message, answer the Reconnection Question, or share your story, please only share what you’re comfortable sharing. I will only quote Reconnection Question answers anonymously, and only if you check the box that allows it. I won’t publish your story or feature you on the podcast without talking with you and getting your agreement first.

Purchases

The digital book is sold through an online store, and that store’s terms (shown at checkout) apply to the purchase. Questions about an order? Emailspeaker@tamigarcia.com. [Refund policy for the digital book, e.g. “Because it’s a digital download, sales are final, but if something goes wrong with your file I’ll make it right.”]

Speaking engagements and programs are covered by a separate agreement.

Links to other websites

I link to helpful resources like FamilySearch and the National Archives. I don’t control those sites and am not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.

No guarantees

I work to keep this site accurate and working, but it’s provided “as is.” I can’t promise it will always be available, error-free, or up to date. To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for any loss that comes from using the site or relying on its content.

Changes

I may update these terms. If I do, I’ll change the date at the top of this page.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [state or country where the business is registered].
