2. Description of Service

The Calm File is a family preparedness and document organization platform. It provides tools, templates, and educational resources to help individuals and families organize emergency contacts, medical information, financial accounts, legal document locations, and legacy wishes. The Calm File is not a law firm, financial advisor, insurance provider, medical provider, or estate planning attorney. Nothing on this platform constitutes legal, financial, medical, tax, insurance, or estate planning advice.

3. Account Registration

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

The Calm File offers free and paid plans, including monthly subscriptions, annual subscriptions, and one-time lifetime access purchases. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled before the renewal date. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

5. Digital Products

The Calm File offers downloadable digital products, including fillable and printable PDF files. Because digital products are delivered and accessible immediately upon purchase, all sales of digital products are final unless otherwise required by applicable law. Please review product descriptions carefully before purchasing.

6. Refunds

Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund Policy. Subscription refunds may be available in limited circumstances as described in that policy. Digital product purchases are generally non-refundable once accessed.

You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose, to transmit harmful content, to impersonate any person, or to interfere with the platform's operation.

8. No Professional Advice

The Calm File provides organizational tools and educational resources only. Nothing on this platform should be construed as legal, financial, medical, tax, insurance, or estate planning advice. Always consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

9. No Guarantee of Document Validity

The Calm File does not guarantee that any document, template, or information organized through the platform is legally valid, complete, accepted by any institution, or suitable for any particular state or jurisdiction. Laws vary by location and change over time. You are responsible for verifying the legal requirements applicable to your situation.
