Intellectual property

All right, title, and interest in and to the Content on the Site—text, frameworks, worksheets, audio, video, graphics, and trademarks—is owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright and trademark law. Except for the limited license below, no rights are granted to you. We reserve all rights not expressly granted. You may not use our trademarks, trade dress, or logos without our express written permission. You may not scrape, harvest, or systematically download Content, or use bots or similar tools to access or copy Content. You acknowledge that unauthorized use of Content may cause irreparable harm, for which we may seek injunctive relief without bond.

License for digital products

When you purchase or download a digital product (e-book, workbook, audio track, course), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, share, resell, sublicense, publicly post, distribute, use to train AI systems, or create derivative works from any Content or product without our prior written permission. License is revocable and conditioned upon your compliance with these Terms and any product-specific items. You may store copies solely for personal use across your personal devices; sharing beyond your household is prohibited. Educational or organizational use requires a separate license.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site, including by interfering with its operation, attempting unauthorized access, scraping, introducing malicious code, or using the Site for any unlawful purpose. You may not bypass or circumvent any access controls, watermarking, or digital rights management. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law.

Health & informational disclaimer

The Site Disclaimer is incorporated into these Terms. The Content is informational only, is not professional advice, and results vary. The Site Disclaimer governs in the event of conflict regarding health or informational content.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. We do not control third-party platforms, networks, or service providers and are not responsible for their acts or omissions. You bear all risk for internet and device compatibility.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, CONTENT, OR PRODUCTS. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY DOLLARS ($50), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Serene Joy, LLC, its members, officers, and agents from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Site or products including any claims alleging that User Content you submit infringes or violates rights of others or arises from your violation of law. We may, at our option, assume the defense of any subject matter subject to indemnification.

Purchases & pricing

Prices are stated in U.S. dollars and may change at any time before purchase. You agree to provide accurate purchase information. By submitting an order, you authorize the charge to your selected payment method for the full amount, including applicable taxes. Payment is processed by third-party processors subject to their own terms; we may cancel orders affected by pricing errors or suspected fraud. Applicable taxes are your responsibility where not collected at checkout. You are responsible for all bank fees and chargebacks; if a chargeback occurs, your license is revoked, and we may disable access. Delivery of digital products is complete when download access or a link is made available to you. We may refuse, limit, or cancel orders at our discretion, including for account sharing or excessive refunds/chargebacks.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or revoke a product license, without refund, if you materially breach these Terms, including unauthorized copying or distribution of paid products at any time, for any reason, where permitted by law. Upon termination, all rights granted to you cease, and you must delete all copies of Products in your possession, except if retention is required by law. Sections concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of the Site or products will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules or JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court should the amount in controversy be under the limit. The arbitration will be conducted by videoconference, telephone, or written submissions, unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is required by the applicable rules. The arbitration and its outcome will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. Any judicial proceeding permitted under this section—including to compel arbitration or to confirm, enforce, or vacate an award—will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, California to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.

Changes; contact

We may update these Terms; continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. Contact: contact@theserenejoy.com. Material changes will be indicated by updating the ‘Effective date’ and where required by law by additional notice.

Refund Policy (Digital Products)

Digital products are delivered instantly, and all sales are final once the product has been delivered or downloaded, except where a refund is required by applicable law. If you experience a technical problem—such as a corrupted file, failed download, or duplicate charge—contact us at contact@theserenejoy.com, and we will replace the product or issue a refund. Purchases made through third-party retailers (e.g., Amazon) are governed by that third-party retailer’s return policy. EU/UK consumers: by purchasing and immediately downloading digital content, you consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that the statutory 14-day withdrawal right is lost once the download begins.
