Faith-Based and Informational Content

Choose Joy Always provides Catholic faith-centered encouragement, personal reflections, prayers, educational resources, and general information.

Website content is not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, legal, financial, pastoral, or crisis services. Jane E. Whitley does not act as a doctor, therapist, attorney, financial adviser, or emergency-response provider through this website.

Spiritual content and prayer do not guarantee a particular personal, spiritual, health, financial, or relationship outcome. You remain responsible for your own decisions and for seeking qualified assistance when appropriate.

If you are experiencing an emergency or crisis, contact local emergency services or an appropriate qualified professional. Website forms and prayer requests are not continuously monitored.

Products, Courses, Services, and Memberships

Descriptions, prices, features, schedules, availability, and access periods for products, courses, services, and memberships will be displayed on the applicable sales or checkout page.

We make reasonable efforts to describe each offer accurately. However, we may correct errors, update content, change availability, or discontinue an offer when reasonably necessary.

Purchasing one product, course, service, or membership does not provide access to other paid materials unless expressly stated.

Results vary by person. Purchasing or participating does not guarantee any particular outcome.

Orders and Payments

By submitting an order, you agree to:

• Provide accurate billing and account information

• Pay the displayed price and applicable taxes

• Authorize the selected payment method to be charged

• Follow any additional terms shown with the offer

Payments are processed through Squarespace and connected third-party payment providers. Their terms and privacy practices may also apply.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order when reasonably necessary because of suspected fraud, unauthorized payment, pricing errors, technical problems, product unavailability, or violations of these Terms. If a completed payment is canceled by us, the amount collected for the canceled item will be refunded as appropriate.

Courses and Services

Course and service details—including format, included materials, access period, scheduling requirements, and participation expectations—will be described with the applicable offer.

You are responsible for reviewing those details before purchasing.

You may not record, reproduce, distribute, teach, resell, or provide another person access to paid course or service materials unless written permission has been provided.

We may make reasonable changes to schedules, instructors, platforms, or delivery methods when necessary. If a material change prevents us from providing the purchased service, we will communicate available options to affected purchasers.

Memberships and Recurring Billing

If a membership or subscription renews automatically, the sales or checkout page will disclose:

• The amount charged

• The billing frequency

• Whether the membership renews automatically

• How to cancel

• When cancellation becomes effective

• Any trial or promotional terms

By enrolling, you authorize the disclosed recurring charges until the membership is canceled.

Cancellation prevents future renewals but does not automatically refund amounts already charged. Unless the applicable offer states otherwise, access may continue through the end of the paid billing period.

Instructions for managing or canceling a membership will be provided through the member account, purchase confirmation, or by contacting choosejoyalways07@gmail.com.

Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund eligibility may vary depending on the particular digital product, course, service, or membership.

The specific cancellation or refund terms displayed on the relevant sales page, checkout page, order confirmation, or service agreement will apply to that purchase. Please review those terms before completing an order.

If an offer does not clearly state its cancellation or refund terms, contact choosejoyalways07@gmail.com before purchasing.

Nothing in these Terms limits any nonwaivable rights provided by applicable consumer-protection law.

Affiliate Links and Advertising

The website may contain affiliate links or advertising. Choose Joy Always may receive compensation when you click certain links, make a purchase, or interact with sponsored content.

Affiliate or sponsored relationships will be disclosed where applicable. Compensation does not change the price you pay unless specifically stated.

We do not control third-party products, services, availability, pricing, claims, customer service, or policies. You are responsible for reviewing a third party’s terms and policies before completing a purchase.

Third-Party Links and Services

Choose Joy Always may link to or integrate with websites, platforms, payment processors, social-media services, and other resources operated by third parties.

These links are provided for convenience or informational purposes. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, products, services, or privacy practices.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s terms and policies.

Testimonials and Results

Testimonials, reviews, stories, and examples reflect individual experiences. They do not guarantee that another person will receive the same result.

You remain responsible for evaluating whether a product, course, service, membership, recommendation, or practice is appropriate for your circumstances.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that:

• The website will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free

• Every error will be corrected

• The website will be free from harmful components

• All content will remain current or complete

• A product, course, service, membership, prayer, or resource will produce a specific result

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jane E. Whitley and Choose Joy Always will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages resulting from your use of—or inability to use—the website, its content, third-party links, products, courses, services, or memberships.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, total liability arising from a paid purchase will not exceed the amount you paid to Choose Joy Always for the product or service giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Jane E. Whitley and Choose Joy Always from claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from:

• Your unlawful or improper use of the website

• Your violation of these Terms

• Your violation of another person’s rights

• Content you submit publicly through the website

This section does not apply where prohibited by law.

Suspension and Termination

We may restrict or terminate access to the website, an account, course, service, membership, or paid content if we reasonably believe that a user has:

• Violated these Terms

• Shared protected or paid materials without authorization

• Engaged in fraudulent or abusive conduct

• Threatened the safety or security of the website or another person

• Failed to make an authorized payment

Provisions concerning intellectual property, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability, and dispute resolution will survive termination where applicable.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any legal action concerning these Terms or the website will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Wyoming, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms displayed with a particular product, course, service, or membership, constitute the agreement between you and Choose Joy Always concerning your use of the website and applicable purchases.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when the website, its offerings, business practices, or legal obligations change.

The revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the website after an update indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.

Changes to recurring memberships or existing paid services will be communicated when required by law or when they materially affect the purchaser’s agreement.
