Last updated: July 2, 2026
Welcome. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the I Am The American Dreamer website (https://iamtheamericandreamer.com), operated by John Schembari. By visiting the site, listening to the music, reading the writing, or joining the mailing list, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
About This Site
This site shares John Schembari's original songs and writing. It is provided for personal enjoyment and information. John does not do concerts, live performances, or event bookings, and nothing on this site is an offer of professional services or advice.
Music, Writing & Ownership
The original songs, recordings, lyrics, writing, and the site name and branding are the property of John Schembari, who operates this site as I Am The American Dreamer, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. Historical photographs on the site are public-domain U.S. government images shown as representative period imagery; song cover images are decorative, royalty-free stock photography. Neither is claimed as original work here, and the stock images remain subject to their own license terms.
You are welcome to stream the music, read the writing, and share links to this site. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, modify, sample, synchronize, or publicly perform the songs, recordings, or writing without prior written permission. To ask about permissions or licensing, email John@iamtheamericandreamer.com.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the site: no attempting to disrupt or overload it, no probing or breaching its security, no submitting forms with false or misleading information or on someone else's behalf without their consent, and no using the site for anything unlawful.
Mailing List
By subscribing you confirm the email address is yours and consent to receive updates about John's new songs, writing, and related news. You can unsubscribe at any time by emailing John@iamtheamericandreamer.com. How your information is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
Disclaimers
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free. The writing reflects John's personal experiences and views. General military-history notes are provided for context and are believed accurate, but are not guaranteed to be complete or error-free.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, John Schembari will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or its content.
Changes to These Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time; the current version will always be posted on this page with its “last updated” date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
