Policies, terms, and legal stuff

Here, you’ll find the fine print and legal stuff around the Vanilla JS Pocket Guides, Vanilla JS Academy, and other products sold by Go Make Things, LLC.

I try to keep things as clear and readable as possible.

For simplicity, Go Make Things, LLC will be referred to as “Go Make Things”, “I”, or “Me” going forward. The Vanilla JS Pocket Guides, Vanilla JS Academy, and all other products sold by Go Make Things will be referred to as “Products”.
