Terms & Conditions

The Space After is operated by Lucie DeLaney (“we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account, purchasing access, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

You confirm that you are of legal age in your country to enter into this agreement, and that the information you provide is accurate.

The Space After is a digital, self-paced reading and reflection product (“the Service”), including written letters, gentle prompts, and a private space to journal. It is not therapy, medical, psychological, or crisis care. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency service or a qualified professional.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Please notify us promptly at hello@deluga.co if you suspect any unauthorized use.

Our order process is conducted by Paddle (our payment provider and Merchant of Record). Paddle handles all payments, billing, taxes, invoicing, and refunds, and provides customer service for purchase-related inquiries through paddle.net.

Payment, billing, taxes, cancellations, and refund mechanics are governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms. Our own refund window is described on our Refund Policy page.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not resell, redistribute, share access to your account, reverse engineer, or attempt to circumvent any technical limits.

All content (text, design, branding) remains our intellectual property. You may not copy or republish it without written permission.

You agree not to:

• use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes;
• upload or transmit malware, spam, or anything harmful;
• attempt to access other users' accounts or data;
• scrape, probe, or interfere with the security or operation of the Service;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights.

Anything you write inside the journal stays yours. You grant us a limited licence to host and process that content solely so we can provide the Service to you. We do not read, sell, or share your private journal entries.

We work hard to keep the Service running, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free performance. Features may change, evolve, or be removed over time.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is prohibited by law.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms, fail to pay, pose a security or fraud risk, or repeatedly violate our policies. You may stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account yourself at any time from Account → Danger zone; deletion is finalized after a 14-day grace period, during which you can sign back in to cancel. If you'd like a copy of your journal data before it's erased, you can email us.

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest version. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the country in which Lucie DeLaney is resident, without regard to conflict of law rules. Disputes will be brought before the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer law in your country provides otherwise.
