Foundational Agreement

Terms of Service

Foundations of mutual respect, mindful participation, and safe practice.

Last updated: July 2026

1. Mindful Agreement

Welcome to existingaswho. By accessing, browsing, or interacting with our website, breathing visualizers, somatic prana maps, or reflective writing, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service.

If you do not accept these basic foundations of participation, we ask that you discontinue your use of our platform.

2. Somatic Practice Disclaimer

The interactive breathing visualizers, resonant sound components, nervous system mappings, and contemplative content on existingaswho are designed solely for educational, historical, and self-reflective exploration.

They are not medical, psychological, or physical therapy practices, nor do they constitute professional healthcare advice. Participation in our breathing paces and meditations is completely self-directed and undertaken at your own discretion.

If you experience any lightheadedness, breathlessness, emotional distress, or physical discomfort during these practices, discontinue them immediately and consult a qualified healthcare professional.

3. Intellectual Property

All text, diagrams, original interactive visualizer code, audio clips, and brand markings on this site are original contemplative assets of the existingaswho project.

All receptivity is reserved. You may not reproduce, copy, distribute, modify, or commercially exploit any part of our site, text, or somatic tools without our prior written permission.

4. Commercial Offerings & Retreats

When booking portals for retreats, workshops, or paid somatic guides are active, fees will be clearly displayed before booking. Payments will be securely processed through Stripe.

All retreat registrations are subject to specific cancellation and refund policies, which will be provided explicitly at the point of registration or checkout.

5. Prohibited Conduct

We invite honest, quiet, and vulnerable self-reflection. Any attempt to disrupt the site's infrastructure, inject malicious code, bypass security rules, scraper our original essays, or harass other users is strictly prohibited.

We reserve the right to terminate access to interactive tools or reject inquiry submissions for anyone violating these behavioral boundaries.

6. Governance & Updates

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with our operating jurisdiction's laws.

We reserve the right to modify these terms as our platform, practices, and paid offerings grow. We will post any updates here, with the updated "Last modified" date shown at the top.
