Terms of Service
1. Agreement to These Terms
1.1 These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern access to and use of the website located at LifeSeasonLetters.com, the written-companionship subscription products, gift subscriptions, and related online services (collectively, the “Services”) offered by Life Season Letters, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
1.2 By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, or purchasing a subscription, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
1.3 These Terms incorporate by reference the Company’s Privacy Policy, its Refunds and Cancellations Policy, and its Disclaimer, each of which is available on the website.
2. Eligibility
2.1 You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Services, create an account, or purchase a subscription. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
2.2 The Services are offered in the United States. The Company makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions.
3. Description of the Services
3.1 The Company publishes original written works, referred to as letters, organized by subject categories referred to as Life Seasons. A subscription entitles the subscriber to receive the letters published for the Life Season or Life Seasons to which she subscribes, during the period of her subscription.
3.2 Letters are delivered electronically. The Company transmits an email notification containing a link through which the letter may be accessed and read. Letters are ordinarily delivered on a weekly basis, on Sunday, at approximately 11:00 a.m. in the time zone in which the subscriber registered.
3.3 The Company may also make available free materials, gift subscriptions, and other products or communications. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Services, including the schedule, format, or method of delivery, at any time.
3.4 The letters are works of personal reflection and written companionship. They do not constitute professional advice of any kind, as further set forth in Section 11 and in the Company’s Disclaimer.
4. Accounts
4.1 Certain features of the Services require an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating an account and to keep that information current.
4.2 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. You agree to notify the Company promptly at support@LifeSeasonLetters.com of any unauthorized use of your account.
4.3 Accounts are personal to the subscriber and may not be shared, transferred, or assigned without the Company’s written consent.
5. Subscriptions, Fees, and Automatic Renewal
5.1 Plans and Fees. Subscriptions are offered on monthly, six-month, and annual terms for each Life Season. Current prices are displayed on the website at the time of purchase and are payable in United States dollars. The Company may offer reduced pricing for additional Life Seasons or promotional pricing from time to time.
5.2 Automatic Renewal. SUBSCRIPTIONS RENEW AUTOMATICALLY. Unless cancelled before the end of the then-current term, each subscription renews automatically for a successive term of the same length, and the payment method on file will be charged the then-current price for that term. You authorize the Company and its payment processor to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
5.3 Notice and Cancellation. You may cancel a subscription at any time through your account or by contacting the Company at support@LifeSeasonLetters.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current term, and you will continue to receive letters through the end of that term. Cancellation does not, by itself, entitle you to a refund except as provided in the Refunds and Cancellations Policy.
5.4 Price Changes. The Company may change its prices. Any change to the price of a renewing subscription will be communicated to the subscriber in advance of the renewal to which it applies, and the subscriber may cancel before that renewal if she does not wish to accept the new price.
5.5 Payment Authorization. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide. If a payment is declined or cannot be processed, the Company may suspend or terminate the subscription and may discontinue delivery of letters.
5.6 Pause. The Company may, in its discretion, offer subscribers the ability to pause a subscription. The terms of any pause will be as communicated by the Company at the time.
5.7 Refunds. Refunds are governed by the Company’s Refunds and Cancellations Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.
5.8 Taxes. Prices are exclusive of any applicable sales or use taxes, which will be added where required by law.
6. Gift Subscriptions
6.1 A gift subscription may be purchased for another individual. When purchasing a gift, the purchaser provides the recipient’s name and email address, and by completing the purchase and agreeing to these Terms, the purchaser authorizes the Company to use that information solely to deliver and administer the gift, including sending the recipient an invitation to redeem it. The purchaser represents that she has a good-faith basis to provide the recipient’s information for this purpose. The Company uses the recipient’s information only to deliver and administer the gift and in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
6.2 A gift is purchased as a prepaid value for a chosen Life Season and term; the purchaser is charged once, at the time of purchase, and is never charged for any renewal. The recipient receives an invitation to redeem the gift and, upon redeeming it, creates a subscription on her own account, to which the gift value is applied so that no payment is due at redemption. When the gift term ends, that subscription renews like any other subscription only if the recipient has provided her own payment details; the Company notifies her in advance, and if she does not provide payment details the subscription simply does not renew. If a gift is not redeemed, no subscription is created and no letters are delivered.
6.3 Refunds for gift subscriptions are governed by the Refunds and Cancellations Policy and, where applicable, are issued to the purchaser.
7. Intellectual Property and License
7.1 Ownership. The letters, the website, and all text, images, designs, graphics, compilations, and other content comprising the Services are the property of the Company or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. “Life Season Letters” and the Company’s logos and marks are the property of the Company.
7.2 Limited License. Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and read the letters and other content made available to you, for your own personal, non-commercial use during the term of your subscription.
7.3 Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law, you may not:

11. No Professional Advice
11.1 The letters and all other content made available through the Services are provided for general informational and personal-reflection purposes. They do not constitute medical, mental-health, psychological, legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional.
11.2 No provider-patient, attorney-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship is created by your use of the Services. You should not disregard or delay seeking professional advice on account of anything you read through the Services.
11.3 The Services are not a crisis, emergency, or counseling service. If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, you should contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource immediately.

13.3 Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages. In such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, your Submissions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of any person.
15. Suspension and Termination

Your use of those platforms may also be subject to the platforms’ own terms of service and privacy policies, and you are encouraged to review them. The Company is not responsible for the practices of these third parties, and their terms and policies govern their own services. A current list of the Company’s principal service providers is available on request.
Because portions of the experience, including checkout and gift redemption, are provided through these third-party platforms, some parts of the user journey may differ in appearance from the Company’s main website.
