Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of For Goodness Sake, including thecornerofgood.com and its content, accounts, memberships, downloads, games, creative tools, publishing tools, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). In these Terms, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of For Goodness Sake, and “you” refers to each visitor or user.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, downloading content, or purchasing a membership, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you use the Services for a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.

2. Eligibility and younger users

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. You must be at least 13 to create an account, submit content, connect a third-party account, or use interactive features. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms and supervise your use. A parent or guardian who permits a minor to use the Services is responsible for that minor’s activity.

3. Accounts and security

You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account, except to the extent caused by our failure to use reasonable care. Accounts are personal and may not be sold, transferred, shared for abuse of plan limits, or used to impersonate another person.

We may require email verification, reset credentials, restrict access, or suspend an account when reasonably necessary to protect users, the Services, or third parties. You may request account deletion by contacting us, subject to records we must retain for billing, tax, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or other legal purposes.

4. Memberships, billing, and cancellation

Membership features, usage allowances, and account access may change over time. If a paid feature is made available through a checkout page, the applicable price, billing period, taxes, fees, and renewal terms will be shown before purchase. By completing checkout, you authorize Stripe and us to charge the payment method you provide according to those disclosed terms until cancellation.

If you have an active paid arrangement, you can manage or cancel it through the Stripe billing portal linked from your account or by contacting us. Cancellation ordinarily takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and access continues until then. Except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase, charges are non-refundable and we do not provide prorated refunds or credits for partially used periods, unused allowances, or account inactivity.

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge, ask you to update your payment method, or limit the paid feature connected to that charge. Usage allowances reset according to the cycle shown in your account, do not carry over, have no cash value, and may be subject to technical or safety limits. Your payment relationship with Stripe is also governed by Stripe’s applicable terms.

5. Public content and information

Good news stories, Good Foundations pages, educational materials, recommendations, and other public content are provided for general informational, inspirational, and entertainment purposes. They are not professional medical, mental health, legal, financial, educational, or other regulated advice. You remain responsible for decisions you make based on the content.

News summaries and links may rely on third-party reporting. We try to present uplifting material accurately, but we do not guarantee that every statement, source, link, date, or external page is complete, current, or error-free. Views expressed by third parties are their own.

6. Downloads, printables, and books

Unless a download includes a different license, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and print free coloring pages for personal, household, or noncommercial educational use. You may not sell, sublicense, redistribute, republish, upload as a competing collection, remove notices from, or claim ownership of our downloads or artwork.

Books and other products linked through Amazon or another retailer are sold and fulfilled by that retailer or seller, not through the Services. Their pricing, availability, shipping, returns, product terms, and privacy practices apply. Some external product links may be affiliate links, in which case we may receive a commission without increasing your purchase price.

7. Adventure Log game

Adventure Log is a motivational and entertainment feature, not a medical, therapeutic, financial, or wagering service. Quests, streaks, rankings, levels, coins, gems, armor, pets, vehicles, bonuses, and other virtual items have no real-world monetary value, are not transferable, cannot be redeemed for cash or property, and do not create ownership rights. We may rebalance, add, remove, reset, or discontinue game features and virtual items when reasonably needed to operate or improve the game.

Public game participation may display the alias, character status, adventure entries, friendship connections, character equipment, and game totals you choose to share. Do not publish information that is sensitive, abusive, unlawful, infringing, or impersonates another person.

8. Creative tools and artificial intelligence

Some Services use artificial intelligence providers, including OpenAI, to generate text, images, plans, or other material (“Outputs”) from prompts, uploads, instructions, and source material you provide (“Inputs”). AI systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, offensive, or similar results for different users. Outputs are not guaranteed to be unique, factual, suitable, lawful, or free from third-party claims.

You must review Outputs before using or publishing them and are solely responsible for your Inputs, selection and editing of Outputs, required disclosures, permissions, fact-checking, and final use. Do not rely on an Output as professional advice or submit confidential, regulated, or sensitive personal information that you are not authorized to process.

As between you and us, and to the extent permitted by law, you retain your rights in Inputs and own any rights you may acquire in Outputs. We do not promise that copyright or other intellectual property rights will arise in an AI-generated Output. Your use of AI features may also be subject to the applicable provider’s terms and policies.

9. Your content and permissions

You retain ownership of content you submit, upload, save, or direct us to process. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, adapt, transmit, display, and otherwise process that content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Services; comply with your publishing instructions; enforce these Terms; and meet legal obligations. This license lasts while the content is stored or needed for those purposes.

You represent that you have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions needed for your Inputs, uploads, connected accounts, and requested uses. You must not upload or generate content that infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights.

10. Connected services and publishing

If you connect Pinterest or another third-party account, you authorize us to access permitted account information and perform the actions you request, such as loading boards, creating a board, preparing public image URLs, posting, or scheduling content. You are responsible for reviewing the destination, content, timing, and applicable platform rules before publishing.

Third-party APIs can delay, reject, duplicate, modify, or fail to publish content. We do not control those services and cannot guarantee availability or successful delivery. You may unlink a connected account through available settings, but content already published on a third-party service remains governed by that service.

11. Acceptable use

You may not use the Services to:

• violate any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right;
• create, upload, request, or distribute unlawful, exploitative, deceptive, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or abusive material;
• exploit or endanger minors, or create sexual content involving minors or non-consenting persons;
• impersonate others, misrepresent affiliation, defraud, spam, manipulate engagement, or publish misleading claims;
• introduce malware, probe security, bypass access controls or usage limits, scrape at disruptive scale, or interfere with operation;
• reverse engineer or extract source code except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• use automated means to create accounts, exhaust resources, or obtain content in a manner not expressly supported by us; or
• resell, sublicense, or provide the Services to others without our written permission.

We may use automated and human review to prevent abuse, enforce safety limits, respond to complaints, and protect the Services.

12. Our intellectual property

The Services, site design, software, branding, logos, original articles, artwork, downloads, databases, and other materials we provide are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.

If you voluntarily provide suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation, provided we do not publicly identify you without permission.

13. Copyright concerns

If you believe material available through the Services infringes your copyright, email us with your contact information, identification of the copyrighted work, the location of the material, a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove material or restrict repeat infringers when appropriate.

14. Third-party services and links

The Services may depend on or link to third parties such as Vercel, Supabase, OpenAI, Stripe, Resend, Pinterest, Amazon, news publishers, and other websites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, security, availability, policies, or practices. A link or integration does not imply endorsement.

15. Service changes and availability

We may modify, update, limit, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services, including features, plans, quotas, integrations, virtual items, and content. We will provide notice when reasonably practicable for material changes affecting an active paid arrangement. The Services may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, outages, provider failures, security events, or circumstances beyond our control.

16. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, fail to pay amounts due, abuse the Services, or threaten the security or rights of others. Where appropriate, we may provide notice and an opportunity to correct the issue. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, licenses already granted, intellectual property provisions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute terms.

17. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

18. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED, AND THEY DO NOT LIMIT RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO YOU UNDER MANDATORY CONSUMER LAW.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, service providers, licensors, and representatives from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your Inputs, uploads, publications, misuse of the Services, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct or negligence.

20. Governing law and disputes

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us and describe the dispute so both sides can try in good faith to resolve it informally. These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the U.S. state where the operator of For Goodness Sake is principally located, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts serving that location, and each party consents to their jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable consumer rights or your ability to contact a government regulator.

21. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Services or law changes. We will post the revised Terms and update the effective date. For material changes, we may also provide notice through the Services or by email. Changes apply prospectively from their stated effective date. Continuing to use the Services after that date means you accept the revised Terms.

22. General terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Services unless a separate written agreement applies. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, sale, or transfer of the Services. Section headings are for convenience only.
