Terms

These are the terms between you and The Judah Project, who runs The Judah Project. Buying or using it means you accept them. They are written to be read, and we would rather you actually read them than agree to something you did not.

What you are buying

One payment of $29.99 for 365 daily messages, delivered by email, text message, or both. It is not a subscription. Nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel later.

Churches and funeral homes buying places for the families they serve are charged per family added, at the price shown on their own dashboard when they add one. Monthly supporters give a recurring amount they choose and can stop at any time.

Who can use it

You need to be 18 to buy this. Anyone can receive it, but if you are under 18 we would rather a parent or guardian set it up with you than have you do it alone.

This is encouragement, not treatment

The Judah Project is written pastoral encouragement. It is not therapy, counseling, medical advice, or crisis care, and it is not a substitute for any of them. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and staffed all day and night. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Nothing here creates a clinical, professional, or counseling relationship between us, and nothing you send us is a protected clinical record. Decisions about your care belong with you and the people actually treating you.

Text messages

Texts only go to a number whose owner personally consented on this site. Frequency is one message per day for 365 days. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to end them, or HELP for help. Consent to texts is never a condition of buying anything.

Gifts

Buying this for someone does not enroll them. They receive an invitation and decide for themselves whether it starts, when it starts, and how it arrives. If they never accept it, nothing is ever sent to them.

Your private link

Your pages are reached by a private link instead of a password, so keep it the way you would keep your email — anyone holding it can read your days. Tell us if it gets out and we will issue a new one. You are responsible for what happens through a link you handed to someone else on purpose.

Refunds

If this is not what you hoped it would be, tell us and we will refund you. There is no deadline on that and we will not ask you to justify it. Grief is not the moment to argue with someone about a return policy.

Your content

The daily writing is ours and is for your own personal use. Please do not republish the year or resell it. Forwarding a single day to someone who needs it is not something we will ever come after you for.

What you tell us — the name of the person you lost, and what they were to you — stays yours. We use it only to write to you the way you asked to be written to, and we handle it as described in our privacy policy.

What not to do with it

Do not scrape it, break into it, try other people’s links, resell access, or use it to send anyone messages they did not personally ask for. Adding a person to this against their will is the one thing that would make us close an account outright.

Delivery

We try hard to deliver every message on time, but email and text delivery depend on carriers and inbox providers we do not control. Every day you have reached is always readable on your private pages, whether or not the message itself arrived.

Ending it

You can stop at any time from your settings page, and we will refund you if you want that too. We may close an account that is being used to harm someone, or if we ever have to shut the whole thing down — in which case we would refund anyone whose year had not finished.

The legal part

What follows is the language that has to be here for this to be an agreement. It does not change anything promised above, and it does not take away rights your state gives you that cannot be waived.

No warranties

This is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not promise the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every message will arrive, or that the writing will help — only that we meant it and will refund you if it does not.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, The Judah Project is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising out of your use of this. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed what you actually paid us in the twelve months before it arose. Some states do not allow these limits, and where that is so, they do not apply to you.

Indemnity

If your misuse of this — enrolling someone without their consent, republishing the year, breaking into the site — causes a claim against us, you agree to cover our costs in defending it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts sitting there. Before filing anything, write to us — almost nothing that reaches a court here could not have been settled by an email.

Changes, and the rest

We may update these terms, and will change the date at the top when we do; a change that actually affects what you bought will be emailed to you first. If a court strikes one provision, the rest still stands. Not enforcing something once does not waive it. These terms, with the privacy policy, are the whole agreement between us.
