🧐 The Fine Print
(because even bears need rules)
Last updated: August 29, 2025
Look, we’d rather be at happy hour too. But lawyers and common sense say we need a little corner of the cave for disclaimers. Don’t worry, it’s short, it’s painless, and it doesn’t bite (unless you read it out loud after three bourbons).
1. Who We Are
We’re Three Bears of the Desert — Joey, Jerry, and Chris — a trio of desert-dwelling, gym-going, brunch-loving bears living our best lives in the Coachella Valley. This blog is our shared sandbox for stories, opinions, photos, cartoons, and occasional sass.
2. Privacy Policy
We’re bears, not spies. We care more about brunch, gym gossip, and desert sunsets than your browsing history.
🔒 We don’t sell, rent, or trade your info — ever.
📧 If you join our mailing list, your email only gets used for updates from us (no spam, unless you count Joey’s puns).
🍹 Cookies? Only the digital kind. They help the site run better — the edible ones are saved for happy hour.
🐾 For the long, boring version, check out our full Privacy Policy page.
3. Copyright
Unless otherwise noted, all text, photos, illustrations, and bear cartoons are © Three Bears of the Desert.
🐾 Share away on social media — just give us credit and a link back.
🚫 Don’t copy our posts in full or swipe our art for commercial use without permission.
👍 Basically: enjoy, share, credit… don’t steal. It’s not cool, and we’re bigger than you. Well, really Rocco is — because he’s a real imaginary behr.
4. Terms of Use
By hanging out here at Three Bears of the Desert, you agree to play nice:
🐻 No stealing our content or pretending you’re one of the bears. (Trust us, it’s harder than it looks.)
🌵 No spamming the comments — this is a den, not Craigslist.
🥃 Opinions are ours alone, fueled by bourbon and too much desert sun. Don’t take them as professional advice.
🧙♂️ We don’t guarantee magical bear wisdom will solve your life problems — though it might make you laugh at them.
Bottom line: read, enjoy, interact respectfully. If you cross the line, the imaginary bear council reserves the right to show you the door.
5. Affiliate Links & Sponsorships
Sometimes we may recommend products, places, or services. If you click a link and buy something, we might earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
🐾 We only recommend stuff we actually like, use, or think you’ll find useful.
💰 Those little commissions help keep the blog humming (and the bourbon stocked).
🙃 We’ll always be clear when a post is sponsored. Transparency matters.
👍 Translation: if we gush about something, it’s because we really like it… or because Rocco threatened to flex his “imaginary behr” muscles until we caved.
6. Accessibility Compliance Statement
We want everyone to enjoy our stories, sass, and sunsets — no exceptions. We do our best to follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards so this site works smoothly for all visitors. If something isn’t accessible or gives you trouble, just let us know at [email protected]. We’ll do our best to fix it (and maybe send you a virtual cocktail for the hassle).
7. Contact
Got questions about the Fine Print, our stories, or whether Joey actually blogs in pants? (Spoiler: sometimes.) We’d love to hear from you.
📧 Email us at [email protected].
🐾 Or just shout “Hey bears!” if you see us at brunch — that works too.
