Terms of service

This is a draft for legal review, not final legal text. Welcome to Griefdream. These terms cover your use of the Griefdream website and reading service. By using Griefdream, you agree to them.

Who operates this

Griefdream is operated by [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME], based in Illinois. You can reach us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

What Griefdream is

Griefdream reads a dream you write down and reflects back what is actually in your own words, then offers a short reading. It is not therapy, not medical or mental health advice, and not a crisis service. It does not diagnose anything, and dream interpretation is not a science. A reading is one way of looking at a dream, not a fact about you or your life.

If you are thinking about harming yourself, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any hour, at no cost.

How the reading works

• The first part is free: Griefdream reflects back what is in your dream and asks you a few questions about it.
• The full reading, one follow-up message, and a keepsake PDF of your reading cost a one-time $8, charged once through Stripe. There is no subscription and no account.
• Every submission is screened automatically before it is read. If a submission shows a risk of self-harm, describes a loss by suicide, or threatens another person, it is not read, and you see a short message instead of a reading. See our privacy policy for how that screening works and what, if anything, is kept from it.
• If you had already paid and a later message is screened out this way, you are refunded automatically, without needing to ask.

Payment and refunds

The one-time $8 charge covers the full reading, one follow-up message, and a keepsake PDF. If a safety screen stops a paid session as described above, you are refunded automatically and in full. For any other refund request, [REFUND POLICY WINDOW AND TERMS].

Automated access

Griefdream is built for a person writing down one dream at a time. Automated, scripted, or bot access to the service is not allowed, and we may block traffic we believe is automated, without notice. A purchase made through automated or fraudulent means is not eligible for a refund, except where the law requires one.

Your words

What you write stays yours. You give us permission to process it only to screen it, write your reading, and make your keepsake, as our privacy policy describes. We do not publish it, sell it, or use it for anything else.

No guarantees

[LAWYER NOTE: ADD A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SUITED TO A PAID, NON-CLINICAL READING SERVICE.]

Age

Griefdream is intended for people [MINIMUM AGE] years old or older. [LAWYER NOTE: CONFIRM WHETHER COPPA OR A SIMILAR LAW APPLIES AT THIS MINIMUM AGE, AND WHETHER ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE IS NEEDED HERE.] If you believe a minor has used Griefdream, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

No accounts

Griefdream does not use accounts or passwords. Each reading is tied to a temporary session instead. See our privacy policy for how long a session lasts and what happens to it afterward.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service changes. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last updated.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [GOVERNING LAW STATE], without regard to its conflict of law principles.
