Disclaimer

The fine print.

What our articles, classes, guides, and products are, what they are not, and how we make money. This disclaimer covers dailydinoguy.com, our event pages on go.dailydinoguy.com, our newsletter, social channels, live classes, and products.

The short version

Daily Dino Guy is education. Everything we publish, teach, or sell (articles, videos, social posts, the Monthly Dino Digest, live classes and masterclasses, guides, courses, and books) is general information from Evan Jevnikar, a paleontologist with a master's degree, and from published research.

It is not professional advice, it is not a promise of any result, and it does not replace the people who know your specific situation. Please read the details below. By using this site or our content, classes, or products, you agree to this disclaimer along with our Terms of Service and Privacy & Cookie Policy.

Educational information, not professional advice

Daily Dino Guy LLC is not a licensed career counselor, academic or admissions advisor, financial advisor, attorney, or law firm, and nothing we share creates a counselor, advisor, or attorney-client relationship with you.

  • Career and education: guidance about degrees, courses, research experience, graduate applications, and careers is drawn from Evan's own experience and from published sources. Programs, requirements, and hiring practices differ by school, department, employer, and year. Check anything important with your own academic advisor and the programs you are considering.
  • Money: anything we say about tuition, funding, stipends, loans, or salaries is general context, not financial advice. Talk to a financial aid office or a qualified financial professional before making financial decisions.
  • Law: anything we say about fossil collecting laws, permits, or regulations is a plain-language overview, not legal advice. Laws change and vary by location.

You are responsible for your own decisions and for how you use what you learn here.

No guarantee of results

Attending a class, reading a guide, or completing a course does not guarantee admission to any academic program, acceptance into any lab, research group, or field placement, a scholarship or funding, employment in paleontology or any related field, or any particular salary or career outcome. Results depend on many factors, including ones outside anyone's control.

Any examples we share, including Evan's own path and other people's stories, are illustrations, not typical or expected results. Your experience will be different.

Statistics, sources, and changing science

We cite real, published research and do our best to represent it accurately, including what is known, what is debated, and what is still unknown. Even so:

  • Numbers describe the field in aggregate. Figures such as how many paleontology positions are advertised each year, how many doctorates are awarded, or what college costs come from third-party sources and the time period they studied. They are not a prediction about any individual.
  • Science changes. New fossils and new studies regularly revise what we thought we knew. Something accurate when we published it can be outdated later.
  • We are not responsible for third-party data. We are not the authors of the studies, surveys, and databases we cite, and we cannot guarantee their accuracy.

If you spot an error, please tell us at hello (at) dailydinoguy.com. We correct mistakes when we find them.

Live classes and events

  • General guidance only. Answers during a live session or Q&A are general and based on limited information. They are not individualized advice about your situation.
  • Schedules can change. We may reschedule, shorten, or cancel a live event. Unless an event page says otherwise, live events are not recorded and no replay is provided.
  • Students and families. Our career classes are designed for adults and for students attending with a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, please take part with a parent or guardian.
  • Offers during events. We may tell you about a paid guide, course, or other product during a free event. Buying is always optional, and the terms and refund policy are shown at the point of purchase.

Fossils, fieldwork, and the law

Fossils are protected by law in many places. In the United States, collecting vertebrate fossils on federal land generally requires a permit, and collecting on private land requires the landowner's permission. State, tribal, and international rules vary. Nothing we share is permission or encouragement to collect fossils anywhere you are not legally allowed to.

Fieldwork and outdoor activities carry real risks, including heat, terrain, weather, wildlife, and remote locations. Take appropriate safety precautions and follow the instructions of the land manager, institution, or field crew you are working with. Daily Dino Guy LLC is not responsible for injury, loss, or legal consequences resulting from fieldwork or collecting activities.

Affiliate links and sponsorships

  • Amazon Associates: As an Amazon Associate, Daily Dino Guy earns from qualifying purchases. Some links to Amazon on this site and in our content are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Our own products: when we recommend our own book, guides, courses, merchandise, or memberships, we earn money from those sales.
  • Brand partnerships: sponsored content is clearly labeled. Our partnerships are flat-fee, and sponsors do not control what we say about the science.

We only recommend things we believe are genuinely useful.

Institutions, organizations, and external links

Daily Dino Guy LLC is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any university, museum, government agency, professional society, publication, or dig operator we mention, unless we say so explicitly. References to them are for informational purposes only. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; we do not control their content and are not responsible for it.

Opinions are Evan's own and do not represent any current or past employer, institution, or collaborator.
