ESSENTIALLY Erin

Welcome to www.essentiallyerin.com, as operated by Essentially Erin. These are my rules if you want to use my website and the services or products available from my website. If you do not agree to these rules, you cannot use my site. I can change these rules whenever I want and will post the new rules on my site, whether you notice them or not. I have intentionally written them in a way that avoids legalese so that everyone can clearly understand and agree to the rules and understand their rights and responsibilities. 

I hope there won’t be any problems and that you will reach out to me if you are having issues with my site, service, or products.
