Certain products may be used by minors in supervised settings (such as clinical or educational environments) under the responsibility of a supervising adult.

Some of our products require you to create an account or be invited by an existing user. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information during registration

4. Intellectual Property
All content, trademarks, and intellectual property on our websites and products are owned by Turnstone Tech LLC or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
5. User Content
You retain ownership of content you create using our services (such as recipes, action plans, or other materials). By submitting content, you grant us a limited license to use, store, and display that content as necessary to provide the service to you.
Public Content
Some products allow you to make content publicly visible to other users (for example, setting a recipe to "Public"). By choosing to make content public, you grant Turnstone Tech a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and make that content available to other users of the service. Content you keep private remains visible only to you and is not shared with other users.
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to submit any content and that your content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.
6. Local Data Storage
Some of our products store data locally on your device rather than on our servers. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining backups of locally stored data
- The security of your device and browser
- Understanding that clearing browser data may result in loss of locally stored information
We are not responsible for data loss resulting from device failure, browser data clearing, or other local storage issues.
7. Payments and Subscriptions
Certain products or features may require payment. By purchasing a subscription or making a payment:
- You agree to pay all applicable fees
- You authorize us to charge your payment method through our payment processor (Stripe)
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled before the renewal date
- Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis at our discretion
We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect current subscription periods.
8. Medical and Health Disclaimer
Our products are not medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
Products related to health or well-being (such as wellness planning tools) are provided as informational and organizational aids only. They are not substitutes for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of qualified health providers with any questions regarding medical conditions.
Our products do not integrate with electronic health record (EHR) systems and are not intended to store or transmit protected health information (PHI) as defined by HIPAA.
Crisis and Emergency Services
Our products are not crisis intervention services. Features such as emergency contact reminders are organizational tools only—they do not actively monitor users, contact emergency services, or alert third parties on your behalf. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please contact emergency services (911) or a crisis hotline such as the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline immediately. Our products are not a substitute for professional crisis intervention.
