These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of themaintenancehabit.com (the “Site”), an independent educational website operated by Iris Holloway. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Purpose of the Site
The Maintenance Habit provides general educational content about ongoing digital maintenance for ordinary households. Topics include account security and recovery, family photo organization and backup, subscription inventories and reviews, file naming and folder structures, and basic digital continuity practices. All content is intended to help readers develop realistic routines rather than to deliver personalized advice or professional services.
Informational Nature of Content
Content published on the Site is for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, medical advice, cybersecurity consulting, or estate-planning guidance. Guides describe common household practices and maintenance cadences; they do not create a professional-client relationship between you and Iris Holloway or the Site.
Digital services, devices, and regulations change. Information that is accurate at the time of publication may later become outdated. You are responsible for verifying any recommendation against current official sources and for testing backup or recovery procedures before relying on them. The Site does not guarantee that any routine will prevent data loss, account compromise, unexpected charges, or other problems.
Independence and No Endorsements
The Site is fully independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partnered with any password manager, cloud-storage provider, photo platform, operating system, device manufacturer, or subscription service. References to specific tools or services appear only as illustrative examples of options commonly used by households and do not constitute recommendations, warranties, or affiliations.
User Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for your own accounts, devices, data, and decisions. You agree not to send passwords, recovery codes, account numbers, or other sensitive credentials to the Site. You further agree to follow the security and privacy practices of any third-party service you use. The Site encourages readers to maintain their own tested backups and to consult qualified professionals for legal, tax, medical, or estate matters.
