Affiliate Marketing

How to sign up to promote or resell Shay la Vie Merchandise?

Please email us at [email protected] and we'll send you the details about our affiliate marketing program.

Eligibility

Everyone is eligible for affiliate marketing. How much you make is based solely on your sales, not the number of followers you have! Just email [email protected] to sign up!

Legalese

Waiver of Liability

We’re not licensed boat captains or certified marine technicians—we’re just passionate boaters sharing our personal experiences, lessons learned, and adventures on the water. Everything we share is for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Any repairs, modifications, or boating decisions you make are totally your responsibility. Please always consult with a qualified professional before attempting anything that could affect your safety or your vessel.

In short: we're here to inspire, not instruct. So grab a drink, enjoy the ride, and don’t sue us.

Disputes

We’re here to bring you good vibes, fun content, and quality merch. That’s it. If something’s off or you’ve got an issue, don’t stress—just shoot us an email at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to make it right.

By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you're agreeing to handle things the grown-up way if something goes sideways. If a dispute pops up and we can't work it out informally, you're agreeing to settle things through binding arbitration or small claims court only. You agree to not file for jury trials and/or class action lawsuits.

Before going the legal route, though, we both agree to try non-binding mediation first. We’ll choose a mediator together and split the cost unless we agree otherwise.

Oh—and just to be clear: filing a chargeback just because you don’t like the policy after agreeing to it isn’t cool. That’s fraud, and we take that seriously. We'll deal with that through all available legal channels—civil and criminal.

Let’s just keep it fair and fun, yeah?

Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, any claim you make against Shay La Vie will be limited to direct and actual damages only. That means no special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages—no matter what the legal theory is.

We’re not responsible for losses that go beyond what you actually paid for the product or service in question. In short: we’ll always aim to make things right, but we’re only on the hook for what’s fair and real.

Indemnity

If you use our YouTube channel (youtube.com/@shaylavie), join our memberships on shaylavie.com, or buy our merchandise, you agree to cover any costs, damages, or legal issues that come up because of:

-Things you do on our channel, like posting comments or sharing content.

-How you use our membership content, like exclusive videos or live Q&As.

-Problems with merchandise you buy, like making false claims about it.

-Breaking these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or any laws.

-Sharing content through our services that’s illegal or harms someone else’s rights.

If there’s a legal issue, Shay La Vie can take charge of handling it, and you’ll help us out as needed.

Copy Right Disputes

All content shared by Shay La Vie—including our name, logos, designs, photos, videos, product names, and written material—is either owned by us or used with proper permission. We put a lot of heart into what we create, and we take intellectual property rights seriously—ours and yours.

If you believe that something we’ve shared or created may infringe on your intellectual property, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Send us a message at [email protected] and we’ll look into it promptly. If there’s been a mistake, we’ll do the right thing and make it right.

We believe in creativity, respect, and giving credit where it’s due.

Membership Perks

We love spoiling our Shay La Vie members and do our best to deliver awesome perks, exclusive content, and special offers. That said, all perks are provided on a best effort basis—they’re subject to change, availability, and the occasional hiccup. We can’t guarantee any specific perk, timeline, or value, and access to certain benefits may vary.

But know this: we’re always working to bring you the good stuff and keep it worth your while. Thanks for being part of the crew!

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the County of Montague, State of Texas (because even boat babes need a legal anchor).

If there’s ever a serious dispute, that’s where it’ll be handled—unless we both agree otherwise.

If you have a question that's not here, please email me at [email protected] I'm always happy to answer!

Join the adventure!
