Terms of use

Using MICHI

MICHI is an exploratory lifestyle and planning platform intended to help people imagine possibilities for life beyond full-time work. By using MICHI, you agree to use the site lawfully and responsibly.

Illustrative planning, not professional advice

MICHI's lifestyle costs, financial scenarios, projections and other planning outputs are estimates for general information and exploration only. They are based on assumptions that may not reflect your circumstances or future conditions. MICHI does not provide personalised financial, investment, retirement, tax, legal, medical or other professional advice.

You remain responsible for your own decisions and should seek appropriately qualified professional advice where needed.

Accuracy and availability

We aim to make MICHI useful and thoughtful, but we do not guarantee that all content, calculations, listings, prices, dates or third-party information are complete, current or error-free. Features and content may change or be withdrawn.

Third-party listings and links

MICHI may link to independent organisations, events, courses, places and other services. Unless clearly stated otherwise, inclusion does not mean MICHI is affiliated with or endorses a provider. Check important details, eligibility, availability, pricing and terms directly with the provider before acting.

User accounts and saved information

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Saved roads and other account features are provided for convenience and should not be treated as permanent records or professional financial plans.

Submissions

If you submit a story, event, listing, photograph or other material, you confirm that you have the right to provide it. Submission does not guarantee publication. MICHI may review, edit, decline, archive or remove submissions.

Provider accounts and free listings

Basic listing submissions are free and remain subject to MICHI's review. A provider account does not guarantee publication, placement, traffic or continued availability. Providers are responsible for keeping information accurate and for notifying MICHI when an offering changes or ends.

Optional paid promotion

MICHI may offer optional featured placements and sponsored articles. Paid options do not purchase an editorial recommendation and will be labelled. The scope, price, duration and any included services are shown before checkout. No listing is converted automatically into a paid service. Unless specifically agreed otherwise, fees pay for the stated placement or content service and do not guarantee impressions, clicks, leads, sales or search ranking.

Sponsored article ideas are reviewed before payment. MICHI may decline a proposed topic that is unsuitable for its readers. Refunds, cancellations and material changes will be handled according to the terms displayed at the time of purchase and any written agreement for the work.

Advertising and partnerships

MICHI may carry advertising, sponsored placements or partner content. Commercial relationships are identified where appropriate and do not give advertisers control over MICHI's independent editorial conclusions.
