terms of service.

These terms govern your use of Flow Through the Spiral (“the App”), operated by Diana Cook (“we,” “us”). By creating an account or subscribing, you agree to these terms.

eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the App, and at least 18 to purchase a subscription. By using the App you confirm that you meet these requirements.

your account

You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for any activity that happens under your account. Tell us right away at diana.r.cook@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

subscription, billing, and cancellation

• Membership is $4.99 per month, billed in advance through Stripe in U.S. dollars. Applicable taxes may be added.
• Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel. You authorize us to charge your payment method on each renewal date.
• You can cancel at any time from the membership settings inside the App. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.
• Refunds. Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. If you believe you were charged in error, write to us within thirty (30) days and we will look into it in good faith. New York residents’ statutory refund rights are not waived by these terms.
• We may change pricing with at least thirty (30) days’ notice; price changes take effect at your next renewal.

acceptable use

By using the App, you agree not to:

• harass, threaten, dox, or harm other members;
• post content that is unlawful, hateful, sexual, or that you don’t have the right to share;
• attempt to bypass paywalls, scrape data, or interfere with the App’s operation;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
• use the App for any commercial purpose without our written permission.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. The group chat is moderated to keep it a calm place; we may remove content at our discretion.

your content

You keep ownership of the journal entries, messages, and other content you create. You grant us a limited license to host and display that content so we can operate the App for you. We do not sell your content and we do not use it to train third-party AI models.

our content

Flows, audio, written material, the spiral mark, and the look and feel of the App are owned by Flow Through the Spiral and protected by copyright and trademark law. Your membership gives you a personal, non-transferable license to use them for your own wellness practice. Please don’t republish them.

not medical or mental-health advice

The App offers movement, breath, and reflection prompts for general wellness. It is not medical care, psychotherapy, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for any of those. If you are in crisis or in danger, call 988 (U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. Always check with a licensed professional before starting a new movement practice.

disclaimers

The App is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties (express, implied, or statutory), including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the App is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those places they apply only to the extent permitted.

governing law & disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you and we consent to that jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits your statutory consumer rights.

changes & contact

We may update these terms; if changes are material we will notify you. Questions? Write to diana.r.cook@gmail.com.
