Terms of Use
Last updated October 31, 2026
Using this site
Humane Ideas is free to browse, with no account required. By using this site and its materials, you agree to these terms.
Sharing our guides
Our guides, including What Lasts, are copyrighted by Humane Ideas and shared under a Creative Commons license. That means you’re free to copy, print, and share them with your family, team, class, or small group, as long as you:
- Give credit, for example: “From What Lasts by Humane Ideas, humaneideas.com.”
- Keep it non-commercial. Don’t sell it or use it to make money.
- Share it as is. Don’t edit, adapt, or rework it.
For anything beyond that, such as translating a guide or using one in a paid program, please ask first through our contact form. If a future guide comes with a cost, its terms will be noted on the guide itself.
Our name and logo
The name Humane Ideas, our logo, and the design of this website aren’t part of the Creative Commons license. You’re welcome to mention Humane Ideas and link to this site, but please don’t use our name or logo in a way that suggests we created, approved, or endorse your version, product, or event.
Using the site respectfully
Please don’t misuse the contact form, for example by sending spam or abusive messages, and don’t try to disrupt or interfere with the site.
For reflection, not professional advice
Our guides and this site are offered in good faith to help you think through big questions about money, work, leadership, and legacy. They aren’t financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice, and they’re no substitute for qualified professionals who know your situation. We work hard to keep everything accurate, and if you spot a mistake, please let us know.
Your information
How we handle what you share through our contact form is explained on our Privacy page.
How we use AI
AI helps us research, fact-check, edit, and design. A person writes the first draft of every guide, decides what makes the final cut, and stands behind everything we publish. This site has no AI features, and nothing you do here involves AI.
Links to other sites
Links to other websites are provided for your convenience. We’re not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.
No guarantees
This site and its materials are provided “as is.” We can’t promise the site will always be available or error-free, and to the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for any loss or damage that comes from using it.
Changes to these terms
If we ever change these terms, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
Questions
If you have any questions about these terms, we’d be glad to hear from you through our contact form.
