These Terms govern your purchase and use of the Platform. They include:

  • consent requirements for completing the purchase electronically.

Non-Clinical Educational Resource Notice: The Platform is an educational and self-reflection resource. It is not psychotherapy, clinical diagnosis, medical treatment, psychiatric care, crisis intervention, pastoral counseling, legal advice, or a substitute for qualified professional care.

By affirmatively checking the required checkout boxes and completing your transaction, you agree to these Terms and electronically consent to the transaction as described below. Merely visiting or browsing public pages of the Platform does not, by itself, constitute acceptance of these Terms.

1. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of these Terms:

  • "Charter" or "Charter of Relational Stewardship" means the individually identified completion record issued after the Platform records completion of the required Charter Journey sequence.
  • "Charter Journey" means the educational and reflective experience offered through the Platform, including foundational questions, shadow probes, guided reflective essays, educational modules, video components, partner-discernment prompts, reassessment exercises, and time-gated reflection periods.
  • "Company," "we," "us," or "our" means Puppy Drum II LLC, operator of I Did The Hard Work, together with its authorized personnel and service providers.
  • "Content" means the Platform's proprietary text, questions, shadow probes, prompts, reference responses, reports, graphics, videos, interfaces, software, designs, branding, Charter materials, and other resources.
  • "Personal Reflection Vault" or "Vault" means the account-based digital space in which a user may enter, review, and store original reflective work while authorized account access remains available.
  • "Privacy Notice" means the separate notice describing how the Company collects, uses, stores, protects, retains, and deletes personal information.
  • "Reference Responses" means educational examples and interpretive material provided for self-comparison and reflection. They are not clinical findings, moral judgments, diagnoses, or required personal beliefs.
  • "User," "you," or "your" means the individual purchasing, accessing, or using the Platform.

2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Minimum Age

You must be at least 21 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to purchase or use the Charter Journey. The Platform is not offered to persons under 21.

2.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for reasonable security of the devices used to access your account. You must promptly notify the Company of suspected unauthorized access. You may not sell, transfer, share, or permit another person to complete the Charter Journey through your account.

2.3 One Person Per Account

Each account and resulting Charter is associated with one individual. Couples, partners, or family members who wish to complete the Charter Journey must use separate accounts.

3. ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS, ACCEPTANCE, AND RECORDS

3.1 Separate Consent to Electronic Transaction

Before completing a purchase, you will be required to separately and affirmatively consent to conduct this purchase electronically and to receive the Terms, Privacy Notice, and transaction records in electronic form. You may save or print these materials for your records.

3.2 Affirmative Checkout Acceptance

The checkout process uses two required boxes that are unchecked by default. One box provides the separate electronic-transaction consent described above. The other confirms your agreement to these Terms, acknowledgment of the Privacy Notice, purchase and refund terms, and the educational and non-clinical nature of the Platform.

3.3 Transaction and Acceptance Records

The Company may retain electronic records reasonably necessary to document the transaction and your acceptance of the applicable Terms, including the version presented, transaction date and time, associated account information, and checkout records.

4. PURCHASE TERMS, PROGRAM TIMELINE, AND DIGITAL DELIVERY

4.1 Purchase Price and 12-Month Access Period

Enrollment is a one-time, non-subscription purchase of $99 USD, plus applicable taxes. Purchase provides a limited personal license to access the Platform and Charter Journey for twelve (12) consecutive months from the purchase timestamp.

4.2 Program Sequence and Time-Gating Rules

  • Program Structure: The curriculum consists of educational modules, guided reflective exercises, assessments, and related learning materials presented through the Charter Journey.
  • Essay Pacing: Where the Platform enforces a one-per-day essay limit or other pacing rule, users must comply with the displayed timing requirement.
  • Quiet Pauses: The Platform may enforce designated reflection pauses, including three-day quiet periods at specified milestones.
  • Minimum Program Duration: The Charter Journey is designed so that required pacing and reflection intervals prevent completion in less than thirty (30) days from enrollment.

4.3 Immediate Digital Delivery and Refund Policy

Access to digital materials and Platform functions begins immediately after successful payment. Purchases are generally final and nonrefundable, except where a refund or other remedy is required by applicable law or where the Company determines that a duplicate charge, billing error, unauthorized transaction, complete failure to provide purchased access, or material service-delivery error occurred.

4.4 No Guarantee of Completion or Charter Issuance

Payment purchases access to the Charter Journey. It does not purchase or guarantee a Charter. A Charter is issued only after the Platform records completion of the required program sequence.

5. ACCOUNT EXPIRATION, SUSPENSION, AND DATA RETENTION

5.1 Account Expiration

At the end of the 12-month access period, active access to modules, new reflection submissions, and other paid Platform functions expires unless the Company expressly offers and the user purchases or receives an extension or renewal.

5.2 Data Retention Following Expiration

After account access expires, account and Vault data may remain stored for up to ninety (90) days in accordance with the Privacy Notice before being deleted, de-identified, or archived as permitted or required by law. This retention period does not create or promise a separate post-expiration Vault access or export feature.

5.3 Suspension or Termination for Cause

The Company may suspend or terminate account access without refund for a material violation of these Terms, including account sharing, fraudulent use, automated or third-party completion of required reflective work, unlawful conduct, abuse of Platform systems, or harassment directed through the Platform.

5.4 Effect on Previously Issued Charters

Expiration or termination of account access does not, by itself, erase the historical record that a Charter was issued after the Platform recorded completion of the required sequence. The Company does not guarantee permanent public availability of any online Charter lookup, verification, or display feature.

6. LIMITED PERSONAL LICENSE AND PROHIBITED USES

6.1 License Grant

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to access and use the Content for your own private educational and reflective purposes during the authorized access period.

6.2 Prohibited Conduct

  • resell, redistribute, publicly display, scrape, or commercially exploit Platform Content;
  • share account credentials or permit another person to use your account;
  • use automated scripts, artificial-intelligence generators, or third parties to complete required reflective essays or other completion requirements on your behalf;
  • systematically copy proprietary prompts, questions, reference responses, or paid materials into public AI systems, external databases, or competing products;
  • circumvent Platform security, access controls, timing restrictions, or verification mechanisms;
  • forge, alter, or materially misrepresent a Charter; or
  • present the Charter as a clinical, psychological, academic, governmental, employment, or professional certification.

7. EDUCATIONAL NATURE AND NON-CLINICAL DISCLOSURES

7.1 Non-Clinical Resource

The Platform provides self-directed educational and reflective exercises concerning relationships, communication, personal responsibility, empathy, boundaries, faith, and relational stewardship. It does not provide psychological, psychiatric, medical, legal, pastoral, or crisis-care services.

7.2 No Professional Relationship

Use of the Platform does not create a therapist-patient, counselor-client, physician-patient, clergy-penitent, attorney-client, or fiduciary relationship.

7.3 Automated Educational Features

Certain Platform functions may use automated scoring, comparison, organization, or instructional logic. Automated outputs and Reference Responses are educational tools, not clinical assessments, diagnoses, or individualized professional advice.

8. EMOTIONAL REFLECTION RISKS AND PERSONAL SAFETY

8.1 Potential Emotional Discomfort

Reflecting on relational history, personal patterns, conflict, boundaries, faith, regret, and difficult experiences may cause sadness, anxiety, grief, frustration, or other emotional discomfort. Participation is voluntary and self-directed. You are responsible for deciding whether to begin, pause, discontinue, or seek qualified support.

8.2 Not for Crisis or Emergency Use

The Platform is not monitored in real time and is not designed to detect or respond to emergencies, threats of self-harm, domestic violence, stalking, or imminent danger. If you or another person may be in immediate danger, contact appropriate emergency services.

8.3 Relationship and Personal Decisions

Do not rely solely on the Platform, a Reference Response, a Charter, or another user's participation when making dating, marriage, separation, financial, personal-safety, or other high-stakes decisions. The Platform does not guarantee relationship success, partner transformation, conflict prevention, or any particular personal outcome.

9. CHARTER OF RELATIONAL STEWARDSHIP: SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

9.1 Scope of the Charter

The Charter documents that the Platform recorded completion of the required Charter Journey sequence associated with the applicable account and Charter identifier, including the applicable educational modules, reflective exercises, assessments, and other completion requirements.

9.2 What the Charter Does Not Establish

The Charter does not verify, prove, endorse, or guarantee:

  • personal character, honesty, moral integrity, empathy, or Christian sanctification;
  • psychological health, emotional intelligence, emotional stability, or freedom from harmful behaviors;
  • criminal history, personal safety, relationship compatibility, or future conduct; or
  • academic, employment, professional, governmental, or clinical qualification.

9.3 No Background or Behavioral Verification

The Company does not perform criminal background checks, clinical evaluations, employment verification, or real-world observation of users. A Charter should not replace ordinary judgment, due diligence, or appropriate professional advice.

10. USER CONTENT OWNERSHIP AND LIMITED OPERATIONAL LICENSE

10.1 User Ownership

As between you and the Company, you retain ownership of original reflective text that you compose and submit through your account.

10.2 Limited Operational License

You grant the Company a limited, nonexclusive license to host, store, transmit, process, format, secure, back up, and display your submitted content only as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform, maintain your account, provide technical support, prevent abuse, and comply with applicable law. The Company will not publicly publish or sell your private reflective essays or use identifiable reflective essays to train unrelated external public AI models without separate affirmative consent.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company and its licensors retain all rights in the Platform and Content, including the Charter Journey, question sequences, shadow probes, prompts, Reference Responses, modules, videos, software, designs, branding, Charter materials, and verification mechanisms. No ownership rights are transferred to you except the limited personal license expressly granted in these Terms.

12. OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY READING AND THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES

The Platform may identify optional books, videos, or other third-party resources. Unless expressly stated otherwise, those resources are purchased separately and are not included in the $99 enrollment fee. The Company may use affiliate links and may receive a commission from qualifying external purchases. Third-party resources are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PLATFORM AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PERSONAL OUTCOME.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

14.1 Excluded Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, EMOTIONAL CONSEQUENCES, RELATIONSHIP DISSOLUTION, OR DECISIONS MADE IN RELIANCE ON PLATFORM CONTENT.

14.2 Liability Cap

Except for liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, the Company's total aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Platform, these Terms, or the purchased service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to the Company for the applicable service during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim or (b) $100 USD.

14.3 Mandatory Individual Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

I agree to resolve all disputes through individual binding arbitration under AAA rules and waive rights to a jury trial or class action participation. I understand I may opt out within 30 days via email or physical mail.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before filing a lawsuit concerning these Terms or the Platform, the parties agree, where reasonably practicable and not prohibited by law, to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. A user may provide written notice by email to [email protected] or by mail to Puppy Drum II LLC, PO Box 26, Quinby, VA 23423. The notice should identify the user, describe the dispute, and state the requested resolution. The parties should allow up to thirty (30) days for informal resolution before filing suit, unless immediate relief is reasonably necessary or applicable law provides otherwise.

15.2 Court Proceedings and Nonwaivable Rights

If a dispute is not resolved informally, either party may pursue any claim or defense available in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Section 16. Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any consumer right, remedy, jurisdiction, or procedure that cannot lawfully be waived by contract.

16. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent federal law or another nonwaivable law applies. Subject to applicable consumer-protection laws and jurisdictional requirements, judicial proceedings arising from these Terms or the Platform shall be brought in the state courts located in Accomack County, Virginia, or, where federal jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Norfolk Division. This section does not prevent an eligible small-claims action from being brought in a court that has lawful jurisdiction or restrict rights that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.

17. REVISIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

17.1 Prospective Changes

The Company may revise these Terms prospectively. Updated Terms will display a revised Effective Date. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform or another reasonable method. Changes do not retroactively alter rights or disputes that arose before the revised Terms became effective. Where applicable law requires renewed consent to a material change, the Company will request that consent.

17.2 Support and Legal Communications

Users may contact the Company through the contact methods made available on the Platform, by email, or by mail at the address listed above. The Company will make reasonable efforts to respond to verified inquiries in a commercially reasonable time.
