3. Not Medical or Mental Health Advice
MTM shares conversations and practices about focus, resilience and performance for education and inspiration.

4. Intellectual Property
- All content created by MTM, including podcast episodes, videos, blog posts, guided practices, artwork, logos and site design, is the intellectual property of Focus Now Training, doing business as Men Talking Mindfulness, or of the people who license it to us.
- You are welcome to listen, watch, read and share links to our content for personal, non-commercial use.
- Reproducing, reselling, redistributing, sublicensing or modifying our content for any commercial purpose, or using our name or logo, is prohibited without prior written consent.
5. Guests
Guests share their own experiences and opinions. Their views do not necessarily reflect those of MTM, our hosts or our sponsors, and featuring a guest is not an endorsement.
6. Submissions, Testimonials and Reviews
When you send us a message, a guest pitch or other material, you confirm that it is accurate and yours to share, and you give us permission to use it to respond and to consider your request. Please do not send confidential information. Sending a guest pitch does not guarantee an invitation.
By sending a testimonial or review, you grant MTM a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your name and statements on the Site, on the show and in our marketing and social media, unless you tell us otherwise in writing.
7. Support Payments
Support tiers are voluntary contributions processed by PayPal under PayPal's terms. Perks such as shout-outs and show-notes listings are delivered as described on the Support page, and timing depends on our recording schedule. Support contributions are voluntary and are not refundable, except where the law requires it. If something went wrong with a payment or a perk, contact us and we will make it right.
8. Sponsorships, Speaking and Partnerships
Sponsorships, speaking engagements and partnerships are governed by separate written agreements, which set out pricing, payment, cancellation and refund terms. Sending an inquiry through the Site does not create a commitment on either side.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of technical issues.
10. Limitation of Liability
MTM, its hosts, team and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Site, your reliance on any content, or the actions of third parties. Our total liability for direct damages is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim.
11. Privacy
Your privacy matters to us. We collect and use data as described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. We do not sell your personal information.

These Terms and any disputes arising from your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal proceedings shall be brought in the appropriate courts of New York.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update or modify these Terms at any time. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
