Question 1

Important Disclaimer: This website offers no professional financial, legal, or medical advice.

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Important Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links.

Accepted Answer

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

I try to note that in direct association with such links, but please be aware that this may be the case.

Please see the "General Questions" section of the FAQ for more information.

Question 3

Terms of Use

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Payment, Shipping, Refund, and Return Policies

Accepted Answer

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

• PayPal (https://www.paypal.biz/JulieRNeidlinger)
 • Square
 • Wave (Invoiced Clients)
 • Venmo (@Julie-Neidlinger or @LonePrairie)
 • Stripe (Substack, et al.)

If you wish to pay by check or money order, items are shipped only after 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. 
 • 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. I've tried to keep the shipping costs low and actually lose money on basic shipping costs in order to do so.

Pickup Option: Bakery or Free Pickup
Free pickup is NOT free delivery. If you choose the free option, you must pick up your order at my home, unless we've prearranged something else.

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

However, do NOT use the free pickup 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 to determine whether it's possible to make it happen or if it was a mistake and I need to refund your order, minus any charges or 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 be 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 from the date the item arrived to request a return.
 • Any refunds are issued after the item has been returned, minus credit card fees and shipping and handling costs.
 • Please contact me (https://www.loneprairie.net/about.html)directly and let me know why you want to return it. I will work with you on a case-by-case basis to ensure we achieve a good outcome.
 • For handmade items, I'll try to replace them with a similar item of the same value, if possible (though many items are unique and one-of-a-kind), 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 downloaded are not returnable or eligible for refund.

Question 6

When and where do I pick up my order?

Accepted Answer

While the bakery page (https://www.loneprairie.net/bakery)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, North Dakota.

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.

Question 7

Download Policy

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Consultations, fees, and use of resulting materials.

Accepted Answer

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.
