Hiya, welcome to viona.space! I’m Olivia Smith, the Yorkshire lass tapping away at this blog, and this is the “Terms and Conditions” page—fancy name for the rules of the road here. I’m not selling a thing—just nattering about home décor, design tricks, cleaning hacks, laundry woes, and how to throw a cracking celebration on a shoestring. Since I might pop some Google AdSense ads up to keep the lights on (or at least the tea flowing), I’ve whipped this up to keep things straight with you and the powers that be. It’s a bit of a read, but I’ll keep it friendly—imagine me chatting over a brew, not a lawyer droning on. Let’s dive in.
1. What This Site Is All About
By popping onto viona.space (that’s https://viona.space/ if you’re jotting it down), you’re stepping into my little world of home stuff. It’s a blog—pure and simple—where I scribble about how I’ve tarted up my Manchester semi, wrestled with stubborn stains, or turned a rainy afternoon into a party planning session. There’s no shop, no services, no “buy my stuff” malarkey—just me, my daft ideas, and a cat called Luna who keeps things chaotic. Using the site means you’re okay with these terms—nothing scary, just a heads-up on how it works. If it’s not your cuppa, no bother—just toddle off, no harm done.
2. Who I Am and What I’m Doing
I’m Olivia, born and bred in Yorkshire, now faffing about in Manchester with my partner Tom and Luna the tabby tyrant. This blog’s my hobby—think of it as me spilling my notebook online. I’ll chat about painting walls, scrubbing floors, folding sheets, or stringing up fairy lights ‘til the cows come home. It’s not a business—no products for sale, no paid advice, just my ramblings. I might let Google AdSense sprinkle some ads around (cos who doesn’t need a few quid?), but that’s the extent of it. Those ads are their thing, not mine—I don’t pick ‘em or vouch for ‘em.
3. How You Can Use This Blog
You’re free to poke around, read my posts, and nab ideas for your own place—go wild! Want to try my trick for getting pen off a sofa or my bonkers plan for a DIY party banner? Be my guest. Just don’t nick my words wholesale and slap ‘em somewhere else as your own—that’s not cricket. Share a tip with your mates (“Olivia from Viona.Space says baking soda sorts everything!”), but don’t copy-paste my whole blog or flog it off. Oh, and don’t use the site for anything dodgy—hacking, spamming, or whatever else the internet baddies get up to. Keep it nice, yeah?
4. What I’m Not Promising
I love sharing what I’ve learned—like how I turned a grotty flat into a cozy nest or saved a jumper from the laundry bin—but I’m no expert. I’m just a gal who’s tripped over paint cans and lived to tell the tale. Everything here’s my opinion, based on my own faffing about—not universal truth. If you try a tip and it flops (say, your curtains shrink or your shelf falls down), I’m not on the hook. No warranties here—implied or otherwise. Homes are quirky, and what works in my wonky semi might not in your swanky loft. If you’re tackling something big (rewiring, knocking walls down), grab a pro—I’m not your gal for that.
5. Ads and Links Stuff
If you spot ads on viona.space, that’s Google AdSense doing its thing. I don’t control what pops up—could be mops, could be mattresses—so if they’re rubbish, don’t blame me. I might get a few pennies if you click, but I’m not here pushing anything. Same goes for links—if I point you to https://viona.space/ or some random site I’ve stumbled on (like a recipe or a craft idea), it’s just for fun. I’m not paid to link ‘em (unless AdSense says otherwise), and I can’t promise they’re perfect. Click at your own risk—internet’s a wild west out there.
6. Who Owns What
All the words, stories, and daft moments here—like the time I glued my fingers together mid-DIY or Luna trashed my freshly ironed sheets—are mine. Legally, that’s my intellectual property, copyright and all. I’ve scribbled it from my Manchester kitchen, usually with a cold tea and a pile of laundry glaring at me. You can’t nick it, tweak it, or sell it as yours—fair’s fair. Read it, enjoy it, tell your nan about it, but don’t swipe it. If you’ve got pics or comments you send me (say, via jerimpeter491@gmail.com), I’ll assume I can share ‘em on the blog unless you say otherwise—just with a “ta” to you, of course.
7. My Limits (Liability, That Is)
I’m chuffed if you love viona.space, but if something goes pear-shaped—like the site crashes, an ad’s wonky, or your cat knocks over a vase cos you were distracted reading—I’m not liable. No damages, no lawsuits, no “Olivia owes me a tenner” vibes. Same if you try a hack and it backfires (glitter in the washing machine? Been there). I’m doing my best, but tech’s temperamental, and I’m not a superhero. Use the blog knowing it’s “as is”—warts, typos, and all.
8. Changes to These Terms
I can tweak these terms whenever I need to—like if Google AdSense gets picky or I spill tea on the laptop and rethink life. I’ll slap a “Last Updated” date at the bottom so you know what’s fresh. Check back if you’re curious, but I won’t be emailing you every time I fiddle with a comma. Keep using the site after a change, and it’s like you’ve nodded “yep, still in.”
9. Where the Rules Come From
This blog’s run from my little corner of Manchester, UK, so if anything legal pops up (hope it doesn’t!), it’s under UK law. Not that I’m expecting a courtroom showdown over a blog about folding towels—just saying. Let’s keep it chill—no need for barristers over a bit of décor chat.
10. If Things Go Wrong
If viona.space goes down (server hiccups, me forgetting to pay the hosting bill), I’ll sort it when I can. No promises on it being perfect 24/7—tech’s a gremlin sometimes. I can also bin any content I don’t fancy—like if someone’s being a troll in the comments (if I ever add ‘em). It’s my blog, my rules, but I’ll keep it fair.
11. Getting in Touch
Questions about this? Or just wanna natter about why ironing’s secretly fun? Email me at jerimpeter491@gmail.com. I’m not a robot—I’m a real person, usually juggling a mop and a biscuit—so replies might take a day or two. If I’m slow, blame Luna—she’s a menace. I’d love to hear from you, though—makes this feel like a proper chat.
12. Final Bit
That’s the lot! Viona.space is me having a laugh, sharing what I’ve picked up from years of faffing with homes, and hoping it sparks something for you. No big promises, no hidden catches—just a blog from a lass who’s burned too many pies and still loves her space. Stick around, try a tip, and let’s make your home ace together.
Cheers for reading this far—you’re a trooper!
Ta-ra,
Olivia Smith
