Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the operator of the InnerSojourn application (the “Operator,” “we,” or “us”). By creating an account, ticking the consent boxes at signup, or using the InnerSojourn application, website, or services (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service may be offered under more than one brand. Where you access it under a partner or organization brand (the name shown above), that brand identifies the provider you signed up through; the Operator remains the entity that runs the Service, provides it to you under these Terms, and acts as the data controller described in the Privacy Policy.

2. What InnerSojourn is

InnerSojourn is a software application that helps users plan, document, and reflect on psychedelic and entheogenic experiences. It is intended as a planning and harm-reduction reference for adult users acting lawfully in their jurisdictions.

InnerSojourn is not:

• a medical device, diagnostic tool, or telehealth service;
• operated by licensed clinicians;
• a replacement for medical, psychiatric, or therapeutic care;
• a source of medical, legal, or pharmacological advice;
• an endorsement or recommendation of any substance, dose, combination, or activity.

3. Not medical advice

All content within the Service — substance information, dose timing, interaction warnings, washout suggestions, screening questions, AI-generated summaries, and any other reference material — is educational only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not intended as a substitute for the judgment of a qualified clinician.

Before making any decision involving medications, supplements, substances, combinations, or your physical or mental health, you agree to consult a qualified prescriber. You acknowledge that information shown in the Service may be incomplete, out of date, or incorrect, and that you are responsible for independently verifying anything you rely upon.

4. Your responsibilities

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service — and any activity informed by it — is legal in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for the safety of yourself and any participants you support. You will not use the Service to facilitate or encourage activity that is unlawful in the jurisdiction where it takes place.

You will not:

• impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity;
• use the Service to harass, harm, or distribute unsolicited content to others;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to access non-public portions of the Service;
• scrape, copy, or redistribute the Service’s content for commercial use without written permission;
• upload content that violates the rights of third parties, including copyrighted material you do not have permission to share;
• use the Service to provide medical or clinical care to participants without holding the appropriate professional licensure for the activity in your jurisdiction.

5. Age requirement

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.

6. Accounts

You are responsible for safeguarding access to your account, including any passphrase used to encrypt your records. We cannot recover encrypted content if you lose your passphrase and your recovery key. You agree to notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized access.

You may delete your account at any time from Settings. Deletion cascades to your profile, your encrypted records, your envelopes, and your subscription. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

7. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you create in the Service (intentions, reflections, notes, transcripts, audio, etc.). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, transmit, encrypt, and serve that content for the purpose of operating the Service for you. We do not claim any right to use your content for any other purpose.

Because the Service uses end-to-end encryption for content records, we generally cannot read your stored content. The limited cleartext fields we do hold are described in the Privacy Policy.

8. AI features

Certain features (such as audio transcription, session summaries, or arc analysis) involve sending content to third-party AI providers such as OpenAI. These features are only invoked when you explicitly trigger them. You agree not to submit content through AI features that you would not want a third-party processor to receive.

AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or fabricated. You will not rely on AI output as factual without independent verification, and you will not use AI output as the basis for any clinical or health-related decision.

9. Subscriptions and billing

Paid tiers (currently “Personal” and “Pro”) are billed monthly through Stripe. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from Settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and does not entitle you to a refund of the current period.

We may change subscription pricing on prospective billing periods with at least thirty (30) days’ notice. If you do not agree to a price change, your remedy is to cancel before the change takes effect.

Refund requests are reviewed case by case. We are not obligated to issue refunds outside of statutory consumer protection requirements applicable to your jurisdiction.

10. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers including Supabase (database + auth), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (billing), OpenAI (AI features), Spotify (music integration), and Calendly (calendar integration). Your use of those features is also governed by the respective providers’ terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, security, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that substance, interaction, or dosing information is accurate, complete, or up to date, and we expressly disclaim any warranty regarding the safety or efficacy of any activity informed by the Service.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither we nor our affiliates, contributors, or licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or substitute services, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusions or limitations of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, contributors, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or (d) any decisions or actions you take based on information shown in the Service.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or that continued provision of the Service to you presents a legal or safety risk. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16) will survive.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State in which the Operator is principally located, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, together with applicable U.S. federal law. Except as resolved informally below, the state and federal courts located in that state have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us and work in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days after written notice. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

16. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right under these Terms is not a waiver of that right.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When the version number above increments, you will be prompted to acknowledge the updated Terms on your next sign-in. Continued use of the Service after a version change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
