Disclaimer

 Last Updated: January 14, 2026

This page clarifies what The Press Voice is, what it isn't, and what you should understand before using information from this site.

I'm Elara Hazel, and I want to be transparent about the limitations of what I provide here. This disclaimer exists to protect both of us by setting realistic expectations.

General Information Only

The Press Voice provides general information about home decor and small-space styling. Everything on this site is for informational and educational purposes.

This site does not provide professional advice. I am not:

• A licensed interior designer
• An architect
• A contractor or builder
• A structural engineer
• A real estate professional
• A legal advisor
• A safety inspector

Nothing on this site replaces consultation with qualified professionals who can assess your specific situation, local building codes, structural requirements, or safety concerns.

No Warranties or Guarantees

I research articles carefully, but I make no warranties about:

• Accuracy: Information may contain errors or become outdated
• Completeness: Articles may not cover every relevant consideration
• Timeliness: Products, prices, and specifications change after publication
• Results: What works in one space may not work in yours
• Suitability: Recommendations may not fit your specific needs or circumstances

I do not guarantee that following advice from this site will produce any particular result.

Product Information

When I discuss furniture, storage solutions, or materials:

Specifications May Change

Manufacturers modify products without notice. Dimensions, weight capacities, materials, colors, and features mentioned in articles may differ from current product versions.

Always verify specifications directly with manufacturers before purchasing.

I Don't Test Everything Personally

I base product analysis on:

• Manufacturer specifications and documentation
• Customer reviews and documented experiences
• Industry standards and design principles
• Dimensional analysis and capacity calculations

I do not personally purchase, unbox, install, or live with every product mentioned. My assessments come from research, not hands-on testing in my own home.

Performance Varies

Products perform differently depending on:

• Your specific use case
• Installation quality
• Environmental conditions
• User expectations
• Individual product variation

What works well for one person may not work for you.

Measurements and Dimensions

Articles include measurements for furniture, rooms, and spaces. These numbers come from manufacturer data and standard residential dimensions.

You must verify all measurements for your specific situation.

I am not responsible if:

• Furniture doesn't fit your space
• Doorways are narrower than standard dimensions
• Ceiling heights differ from typical measurements
• Weight limits are exceeded
• Installation clearances are insufficient

Measure twice. Buy once. Confirm dimensions before ordering.

Installation and DIY Projects

Some articles discuss installation procedures, assembly processes, or DIY modifications.

Attempting any installation or DIY project is at your own risk.

I provide general guidance, not comprehensive instruction manuals. I cannot account for:

• Your specific skill level
• Your tools and equipment
• Your space's unique characteristics
• Local building codes and regulations
• Structural limitations of your walls or floors
• Electrical or plumbing complications

When to Hire Professionals

Hire licensed professionals for:

• Structural modifications
• Electrical work
• Plumbing installation
• Load-bearing wall concerns
• Permanent built-ins
• Anything required by local building codes
• Projects beyond your skill level

Renters: Check Your Lease

If you rent, review your lease agreement before:

• Drilling holes in walls
• Installing permanent fixtures
• Painting
• Making any modifications

Unauthorized modifications can result in lost security deposits or lease violations.

Safety Considerations

I mention general safety principles, but I cannot cover every potential hazard.

You are responsible for safety when implementing any idea from this site.

Consider these safety factors:

• Weight limits: Don't exceed weight capacities of furniture or wall anchors
• Stability: Secure tall furniture to prevent tipping
• Fire safety: Maintain clearances around heat sources
• Electrical safety: Don't overload outlets or run cords under rugs
• Child safety: Anchor furniture and use appropriate child-proofing in homes with children
• Pet safety: Consider pets when selecting furniture and storage solutions

If you're unsure about safety implications, consult professionals or err on the side of caution.

External Links

This site links to external websites for product information, manufacturer specifications, and additional resources.

I don't control external sites and I'm not responsible for:

• Content accuracy on linked sites
• Products or services offered by third parties
• Privacy practices of external websites
• Changes to external content after I link to it
• Transactions you conduct with external retailers

Clicking external links means you leave The Press Voice and enter sites with their own terms, policies, and practices.

Links don't imply endorsement of external sites, their content, or their business practices.

Product Purchases

If you purchase products mentioned on this site:

I am not a party to your transaction. Your purchase occurs between you and the retailer or manufacturer.

I am not responsible for:

• Shipping delays or damage
• Returns, refunds, or exchanges
• Customer service issues

• Warranty claims

Contact retailers and manufacturers directly for purchase-related concerns.

Affiliate Disclosure

Currently, The Press Voice does not use affiliate links. If this changes in the future, I will clearly disclose affiliate relationships.

Product mentions are based on research and relevance to article topics, not compensation from manufacturers or retailers.

This site displays advertisements through Google AdSense.

I don't control which ads appear. Ad selection is determined by Google's algorithms based on your browsing history and other factors.

I'm not responsible for:

• Ad content or accuracy

Personal Situations Vary

Every home, space, and situation is different. Factors that affect whether advice applies to you:

• Space dimensions: Room sizes and layouts vary
• Budget constraints: Price ranges may not fit your budget
• Rental restrictions: Landlord policies differ
• Local regulations: Building codes vary by jurisdiction
• Climate considerations: Weather affects material choices
• Household composition: Different needs for families, singles, roommates, pets
• Accessibility requirements: Physical limitations require different solutions
• Personal preferences: Style and function priorities differ

What works for typical situations may not work for yours. Use your judgment.

No Professional Relationship

Reading this site doesn't create a professional relationship between us. I don't owe you:

• Ongoing support or consultation
• Personalized advice for your space
• Updates when information changes
• Notification of product recalls
• Monitoring of your implementation

You're using a free informational resource, not hiring a professional service.

Third-Party Opinions

I sometimes reference or cite information from manufacturers, industry sources, customer reviews, or other third parties.

I don't endorse or guarantee the accuracy of third-party information. I present it as part of research, but third parties are responsible for their own statements.

Changes and Updates

I update articles when I discover errors or find better information, but I cannot:

• Monitor every product change in real time
• Update every article immediately when markets shift
• Notify readers of changes to previously published content
• Guarantee that information current when you read it

Articles include publication dates. Consider how much time has passed since publication when evaluating information currency.

Errors and Omissions

Despite careful research, errors occur. If you find inaccurate information:

• Don't assume it's correct just because it's published
• Verify information from multiple sources
• Contact me at admin@thepressvoice.com if you find errors

I correct mistakes when identified, but I'm not liable for errors, omissions, or outdated information.

You're an adult making your own decisions. Use judgment. Verify information. Accept responsibility for your choices.

Health and Safety

I'm not a medical professional. Health information is general and educational, not medical advice.

Consult healthcare professionals for:

• Specific health concerns
• Ergonomic needs related to medical conditions
• Allergies or sensitivities

• Any health-related decision

Legal Compliance

You're responsible for complying with:

• Local building codes and regulations
• Zoning restrictions
• Lease agreements (if renting)
• Homeowners association rules
• Fire safety codes
• Accessibility requirements

I provide general information, not legal guidance about what's permitted in your jurisdiction or rental situation.

No Guarantees About Space Transformation

I don't guarantee that implementing ideas from this site will:

• Make your space feel larger

• Impress guests
