I am not a licensed medical professional or a financial or legal expert. The information provided is for general purposes only and should not be considered professional advice. Always consult with a qualified specialist for specific medical, financial, or legal concerns.

This website may use affiliate links. That means that I receive a commission if you visit a link and buy something through my recommendation.

You do not have freedom of speech on this site, as it is private property, paid for by me, Julie R. Neidlinger.

If you'd like to swear, speak crudely, spam other people, insult anyone, argue without any intention of stopping, promote strange ideas and theories, be a racist, be an anti-Semite, and in general abuse the platform and fail to restrain yourself, and exercise what used to be typical self-control, you will be asked to leave. Or, I'll just remove you from the platform.

Additionally, topics of discussion relating to kink, sex, furries, the occult, various sexual perversions, and anything else of that nature will be heavily moderated, if left on this website at all, in the comments of blog posts or groups. This website is PG and I will keep it that way to the best of my ability. My definition of PG is much more conservative than Hollywood's, and what the world considers normal I do not, so keep that in mind.

Topics that are encouraged are those that encourage others to create, write, participate, and empower their Christian faith and those around them while doing so.

For the full, complete, and current privacy policy, read here.

In general, your personal information, whether obtained via email sign up, direct emails, or online purchases, will never be sold or given to anyone. The extent of their use will be to fulfill orders, answer questions, keep your account and website use experience functioning, and update those who want such updates.

Emails containing useful testimonials or other such comments may be used on various online properties, but only with permission and always protecting the anonymity of the source.

For those purchasing artwork from Julie R. Neidlinger (DBA Lone Prairie Art Works), the purchaser gives to the artist permission to use the purchaser's name, along with a reproduction of the item purchased from the artist (including by not limited to a painting, portrait, writing, idea, or anything available on or listed on this web site) for (including but not limited to) exhibition, display, advertising, online resume and gallery, trade and editorial uses, without violation of the purchaser's rights of privacy or any other personal or proprietary rights the purchaser may possess in connection with reproduction and sale of the work, the preliminary design or any incidental works made in the creation of the work.

Payment

Payment to Julie R. Neidlinger (DBA Lone Prairie Art Works), depending on the platform a purchase is made, may be done through:

• PayPal

• Square

• Wave (Invoiced Clients)

• Venmo

• Stripe (Substack, et al.)

If you wish to pay with check or money order, items are shipped only after the payment is received.

Shipping and Handling

Physical items are only shipped to addresses in the United States. If you are from another country and wish to purchase something, please contact me directly.

• I use USPS to ship most items, and delivery times will vary accordingly. Choose Priority Mail shipping if you want to be sure that speed of delivery is used.
  

• For large art, I might use FedEx, depending on the situation. If the address you provide (e.g., P.O. Box) does not work, I will contact you to let you know.
  

• Next-day shipping isn't available.

Orders are shipped within a day or two of receiving the order. Each order is hand-packaged and mailed. If there are shipping delays or concerns, I will contact you to let you know. Delays might include weather or being on vacation because I am human and not an Amazon warehouse. I've tried to keep the shipping costs low and actually lose money on basic shipping costs in order to do so.

Pickup Option

All bakery orders are for pickup only. Please see the bakery FAQ.

However, if you live in Bismarck/Mandan/Lincoln, North Dakota, or you have already contacted me and made arrangements to connect with you directly to give you your items, there is a pickup option you can choose for some other items. This allows you to avoid shipping charges. You will be required to provide a phone number for pickup orders, simply to make sure we can connect.

However, do NOT use this option unless we've already made an arrangement. If an order comes through for pickup and I have not communicated with you, I will contact you and determine if it's possible to make it happen (which I'll do my best) or if it was a mistake and I need to refund your order, minus charge/banking fees.

Return and Refund Policy

Items sold on this website are often one-of-a-kind or handmade items. Slight imperfections or variations of designs are part of this and are not to be considered flaws. Some products will note that multiples of handmade items will vary and this is to b expected. Replacing or substituting is usually not possible.

If you have ordered a physical item and would like to return it:

• You have one week to request a return from when the item arrived.

• Any refunds take place after the item has been returned, minus the credit fees, and shipping and handling costs.

• Please contact me directly and let me know why you want to return it. I will work with you on a case-by-case situation to make sure we have a good end result.

• For handmade items, I'll try to replace it with a similar item of the same value if possible (though many items are unique and one-of-a-kind) if you'd like, once the original item has been returned. If that is not possible, I will issue a refund once the original item has been returned safely and in the condition it was received.

• If the item arrives damaged, please take a photo of the packaging and the item upon arrival if possible so I can work with the shipping company.

• Sale items, and digital items that have been downloaded, are not-returnable or available for refund.

Unless otherwise specifically noted, all downloads are for individual use only, and are not to be shared, published, or otherwise disseminated in any format, whether print, electronic, audio, or video. Commercial and classroom use is prohibited unless you have received written permission. Use of downloads in any manner outside of intended use is considered theft of intellectual property and will be prosecuted.

Purchasing a consultation is a non-refundable fee. It is intended as a private consultation.

• Abuse of the consultation service. If you purchase a consultation service frivolously or to harass, Julie R. Neidlinger retains the right to end the consultation without refunding the fee.

• Personal questions are off the table. This is a professional consultation only, related to the content and items you find on this website.

• English is the language to use. I only speak English. My Spanish is very touristy. I can attempt to use an online translator if necessary but it might prove very frustrating.
  

• All information is intended for personal and private use. Publication in any format or media onto any platform outside of the private consultation is forbidden. This includes screenshots, audio recordings, or printed materials. It includes sharing it online on social media, video platforms, blogs, or websites. Where applicable, materials are © Julie R. Neidlinger, all rights reserved. You may discuss your consultation experience, but may not share actual content or excerpts publicly.

• Non-disclosure and privacy. I do not talk about my other clients; at most I might talk about situations in general terms to help understand a concept (writing questions, for example). I am not a priest or lawyer; do not tell me things you are not allowed to reveal because of your work, client agreements, or NDAs.

By purchasing this service, you agree to these terms.

While the bakery page provides the general information on pickup dates, the specifics, such as location, are not made public. I bake and operate out of my home, so you will pick up your order in South Bismarck. I will provide you with the address and pickup time options after your order is placed. You will know the general pickup date before ordering, however, as it will be listed on the bakery page.
