2. Personal Growth and Wellness Disclaimer

Climbing Mountains provides content for informational, educational, motivational, and personal-growth purposes.

Climbing Mountains is not a medical, mental-health, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, or other professional service.

Content within the Services should not be considered a diagnosis, treatment plan, professional recommendation, or substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

You agree to provide accurate information when creating or maintaining an account and to take reasonable steps to protect your login credentials and device.

Accounts may be authenticated using services such as:

You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless prohibited by applicable law.

4. Your Journal and Personal Content

Climbing Mountains allows you to create journal entries, reflections, goals, and other personal content.

You retain ownership of the original content you create.

You grant Climbing Mountains only the rights reasonably necessary to store, process, display, synchronize, back up, or otherwise handle that content to provide features you request.

We do not claim ownership of your personal journal entries simply because you use Climbing Mountains.

You are responsible for the information you choose to enter into the Services.

5. Journal Photos and Local Storage

The app may allow you to attach photographs to journal entries.

Journal photos are currently stored locally on your device and are not included in Climbing Mountains Cloud Backup.

As a result, journal photos may not be restored when you:

• Move to another device

• Restore your Climbing Mountains cloud data

• Delete or reinstall the app

• Erase local app data

• Lose access to the device where the photo is stored

You are responsible for maintaining separate copies of photographs you do not want to lose.

6. Cloud Backup

Climbing Mountains may provide an optional Cloud Backup feature for eligible app information.

Cloud Backup is provided as a convenience and is not a guarantee against every form of data loss.

Certain information may be excluded from Cloud Backup, including locally stored journal photographs.

Although reasonable measures may be used to maintain the reliability of the service, users should maintain independent copies of information they consider particularly important.

7. Website and Blog Content

The Climbing Mountains website and blog may contain articles, stories, reflections, educational materials, photographs, graphics, videos, and other content.

This content is provided for informational, inspirational, educational, and personal-growth purposes.

Unless otherwise stated, Climbing Mountains owns or has permission to use the original content published through its website, app, and related Services.

You may share links to publicly available Climbing Mountains content for ordinary personal and noncommercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, republish, sell, commercially distribute, scrape, or substantially copy Climbing Mountains content without permission except where permitted by applicable law.

8. Intellectual Property

The Climbing Mountains name, branding, logos, graphics, application design, original written materials, lessons, challenges, artwork, merchandise designs, and other original materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Use of the Services does not transfer ownership of Climbing Mountains intellectual property to you.

You may not use Climbing Mountains intellectual property to falsely suggest sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation.

10. Online Store and Merchandise

Climbing Mountains may offer physical merchandise through an online storefront powered by Shopify or other commerce providers.

Products may include apparel, accessories, drinkware, and other physical merchandise.

Product descriptions, images, pricing, sizes, colors, inventory, and availability may change.

Actual product appearance may vary slightly from digital photographs or mockups because of factors such as screen displays, manufacturing, materials, and printing.

Purchases made through the Climbing Mountains store are processed using the applicable ecommerce and payment services.

Additional shipping, return, refund, or fulfillment terms may apply to purchases and will be presented through the store or applicable policies.

11. Orders and Payments

When placing an order, you agree to provide accurate billing, shipping, and contact information.

Submitting an order does not require Climbing Mountains to accept an order when legitimate circumstances prevent fulfillment.

An order may be declined, canceled, or refunded when reasonably necessary because of circumstances such as:

• Product unavailability

• Pricing or listing errors

• Payment failure

• Suspected fraud

• Invalid shipping information

• Fulfillment problems

• Legal or regulatory requirements

Payments may be processed by Shopify or other third-party payment providers.

Climbing Mountains does not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers within the personal-growth features of the mobile app.

Notifications are intended as a convenience and should not be relied upon for emergencies, medical needs, or other time-critical purposes.

You may disable notifications through available app or device settings.

16. Account Deletion

If you create a Climbing Mountains account, you may request deletion of your account and eligible associated information.

Where available, account deletion may be initiated directly from within the app.

You may also contact:

support@climbingmountains.com

Deleting a Climbing Mountains account does not automatically delete separate accounts or records maintained independently by third parties such as Apple, Google, Wix, Shopify, payment processors, fulfillment providers, or shipping carriers.

Certain information may also be retained when reasonably necessary or legally required, including transaction, accounting, fraud-prevention, security, tax, and compliance records.

Please review the Account & Data Deletion Policy and Privacy Policy for additional information.

17. Privacy

Your privacy is important to Climbing Mountains.

Our Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you use the Services.

By using Climbing Mountains, you acknowledge that information will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy and as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

18. No Guarantee of Personal Results

Every person’s circumstances and personal-growth journey are different.

Climbing Mountains does not guarantee that using the app, completing challenges, reading lessons, maintaining a journal, reaching milestones, or using other features will produce a particular personal, professional, emotional, financial, health, or other outcome.

Journey percentages, milestones, badges, streaks, and similar features are motivational tools within the Climbing Mountains experience and are not professional assessments of a person’s wellbeing or development.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that every feature will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer-protection laws.

20. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Climbing Mountains and those involved in operating the Services will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages resulting from the use of or inability to use the Services.

This includes, where legally permitted, losses resulting from service interruptions, loss of locally stored information, reliance on informational or motivational content, or third-party services.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.

21. Suspension or Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services when reasonably necessary because of:

• Material violations of these Terms

• Fraudulent activity

• Abuse of the Services

• Security threats

We may update these Terms as Climbing Mountains evolves, features change, or legal requirements change.

When material changes are made, we may update the effective date and provide additional notice where appropriate or legally required.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

23. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights or legal protections that apply based on your location.
