a small, simple agreement

Terms of Use

Last updated: 21 June 2026

A short, plain-English agreement between you and the small business behind She Has Returned. By visiting this website, subscribing, or reading our free guide, you agree to these terms.

1. Who these terms are between

These Terms of Use are between you (the visitor or subscriber) and Mary-Ann Roche, trading as She Has Returned, an Australian sole trader located at PO Box 600, Labrador, QLD 4215, Australia (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” throughout this page).

2. By using this site, you agree

By visiting shehasreturned.com, subscribing to our weekly letters, or downloading our free guide “The Return”, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or subscribe.

3. What we offer

She Has Returned is a small editorial brand that offers:

• A free downloadable guide titled “The Return”.
• A weekly email letter for women who choose to subscribe.
• Other free or paid content we may publish from time to time.

We may add, change, or quietly retire any of these at any time.

4. Our free guide and our writing are ours

All text, photography, illustration, design, brand marks, and the guide “The Return” (together, the “Content”) are the intellectual property of Mary-Ann Roche and are protected by Australian and international copyright law.

You are warmly welcome to:

• Read the guide and our letters for your own personal use.
• Share short quotes with credit to She Has Returned and a link back to shehasreturned.com.
• Forward an individual letter to someone you love.

You may not:

• Republish, resell, or redistribute the guide or our letters in whole.
• Use any of the Content for commercial purposes (including in courses, products, podcasts, or AI training datasets) without our written permission.
• Remove or alter any copyright, credit, or branding within the Content.
• Use our brand name, logo, or design as your own.

If you would like to use something for a purpose not listed above, please write to us first — we will usually say yes for the right project.

5. This is not professional advice

If you are experiencing distress, grief, anxiety, depression, or any other difficulty that needs proper care, please reach out to a qualified professional. In Australia, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636, or your local GP. In other countries, please contact your nearest mental-health service or emergency number.

We do not take responsibility for any decision you make as a result of reading the guide or any of our letters. They are offered with care, but they are not a clinical service.

6. Acceptable use

When using this website or replying to our emails, please don’t:

• Attempt to break, attack, scrape, overload, or otherwise interfere with the website or our email infrastructure.
• Send us unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or hateful messages.
• Sign up to our list using someone else’s email address.
• Use the website or our email service for any unlawful purpose.

We reserve the right to remove anyone from our subscriber list, or to refuse service, if these terms are broken.

7. Unsubscribing and account closure

You can leave at any time. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and we will stop sending you emails.

We can also stop sending to you at our discretion — for example, if your email address bounces repeatedly, if you mark our emails as spam, or if you breach these Terms.

8. Third-party links and services

Our website and emails may include links to other websites and services that are not run by us (for example, links to articles, books, or partner sites). We do our best to link only to places we trust, but we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, or practices of any third-party site. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk.

9. Availability of the website

We try to keep this website running smoothly, but we do not guarantee that it will be available at all times. The site may occasionally be unavailable for maintenance, due to issues with our hosting provider, or for other reasons outside our control. We are not responsible for any loss caused by the website being temporarily unavailable.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, She Has Returned and Mary-Ann Roche are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of the website, our free guide, or any of our content. Where liability cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law, our liability is limited to the minimum amount permitted by that law.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use occasionally to keep them accurate. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will let our subscribers know by email. Continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You agree that any dispute relating to these terms, the website, or our content will be handled in the courts of Queensland, unless local law in your country requires otherwise.

13. Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain in effect.

14. Contact

If you have any questions about these Terms, would like to use our content for a particular project, or would like to talk to a human, please write to us. We try to reply within a few days.
