1. Acceptance of Terms
This website (workerscompass.shop, the “Site”) is published by M.D. Hamilton, author and publisher of the Worker’s Compass book series (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By browsing or using this Site, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Site.
2. Not Legal Advice
The Worker’s Compass book series and this Site provide general educational information about the U.S. workers’ compensation process. Nothing on this Site, or in any book, guide, or workbook we publish, constitutes legal, medical, or financial advice, and none of it is a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney, physician, or financial professional in your jurisdiction. Reading this Site or any of our publications does not create an attorney-client relationship of any kind. Workers’ compensation law varies significantly by state — always verify current rules with your state’s workers’ compensation agency or a licensed professional before making decisions about your claim.
3. Intellectual Property
All text, cover art, graphics, logos, and other content on this Site, along with the Worker’s Compass book series itself (The Injured Worker’s Compass, The Injured Worker’s Pocket Guide, and the Claim Organizer Workbook), are the property of M.D. Hamilton and are protected by U.S. and international copyright law, unless otherwise noted. You may view and share pages of this Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, redistribute, republish, or create derivative works from this Site’s content, or from any book in the series, without our prior written permission.
4. Permitted Use
You agree to use this Site only for lawful purposes. You will not:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its underlying systems;
- Use any automated system (bots, scrapers, or similar) to extract content from the Site at scale;
- Interfere with the Site’s normal operation or security features;
- Misrepresent your identity when contacting us through the Site.
5. Purchases & Third-Party Retailers
This Site does not process payments or sell books directly. Print, ebook, and audiobook editions of the Worker’s Compass series are sold through third-party retailers and distributors, including but not limited to Amazon, Apple Books, and other outlets served through IngramSpark’s distribution network. Any purchase you make is a transaction between you and that retailer, governed entirely by the retailer’s own terms of sale, pricing, and return policies — we are not a party to that transaction.
6. Third-Party Links
This Site links to third-party services we do not control, including our YouTube channel (@WorkersCompass) and email links that open your own email application. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of any third-party site or service you access from a link on this Site. Visiting a linked site is subject to that site’s own terms and privacy policy.
7. Privacy & Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any other website, company, business, or third party — a full commitment we make in detail in our Privacy Policy. Any information you choose to share with us, such as by emailing us through this Site, is used only to respond to you or to keep you informed about the Worker’s Compass series, exactly as described there.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
This Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. While we make a genuine effort to keep information on this Site accurate and current, workers’ compensation law changes over time and varies by state, and we cannot guarantee that every detail remains up to date.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, M.D. Hamilton and Workers Compass will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, income, or opportunity, arising from your use of — or inability to use — this Site or any content it links to, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or our publishing operations. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
