TERMS & CONDITIONS

Last Updated: August 2026

Welcome to GET REAL ABOUT™.

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of GETREALABOUT.com and any related websites, content, resources, courses, downloads, questionnaires, community features, and services operated by GET REAL ABOUT COLLECTIVE LLC ("GET REAL ABOUT™," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using this website, purchasing or accessing our products or services, or submitting information through the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. OUR PURPOSE

GET REAL ABOUT™ was created to encourage honest conversations about real life and to connect people with stories, information, tools, experts, organizations, and resources that may be helpful along the way.

Our content may explore topics including grief, divorce, relationships, marriage, caregiving, aging parents, health and wellness, personal growth, parenting, and other significant life experiences.

While we take these subjects seriously, GET REAL ABOUT™ is an educational and informational platform. Our content is not intended to replace professional advice or individualized care.

2. NOT MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, LEGAL, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE

The information provided through GETREALABOUT.com, our books, courses, articles, interviews, videos, questionnaires, downloads, social media, and other materials is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

Nothing provided by GET REAL ABOUT™ should be considered medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

Always seek the advice of an appropriately qualified professional regarding your individual circumstances.

If you believe you or someone else is experiencing an emergency or is in immediate danger, contact appropriate emergency or crisis services.

3. PERSONAL STORIES AND EXPERIENCES

GET REAL ABOUT™ frequently shares personal stories and experiences from individuals who have lived through the subjects we discuss.

These stories represent the experiences and perspectives of the individuals involved. They should not be interpreted as professional advice, universal outcomes, or recommendations about what another person should do.

What helped one person may not be appropriate for another.

That's part of getting real too.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise stated, the original content appearing on this website, including text, articles, graphics, photographs, illustrations, videos, audio, downloads, worksheets, questionnaires, course materials, educational materials, designs, branding, and other original content, is owned by or licensed to GET REAL ABOUT COLLECTIVE LLC and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

GET REAL ABOUT™, associated logos, branding, program names, and other proprietary brand elements may not be used without authorization.

You may access our content for your own personal, noncommercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, modify, create derivative commercial materials from, or commercially exploit our content without prior written permission, except as otherwise permitted by law.

5. BOOKS, COURSES & DIGITAL MATERIALS

GET REAL ABOUT™ may offer books, courses, journals, workbooks, worksheets, videos, downloads, and other educational materials.

Purchasing or accessing these materials gives you a limited right to use them for your own personal use unless we expressly state otherwise.

Purchasing a course, workbook, or downloadable resource does not give you permission to reproduce it, distribute copies, upload it to another website or platform, resell it, teach from it commercially, or share account access with others.

Organizations interested in using GET REAL ABOUT™ materials with groups, employees, clients, patients, classrooms, workshops, support groups, or other programs should contact us regarding organizational or licensing options.

6. STORY SUBMISSIONS, QUESTIONNAIRES & INTERVIEWS

We love hearing from real people.

From time to time, GET REAL ABOUT™ may invite individuals to submit stories, answer questionnaires, participate in interviews, or share experiences for consideration in books, articles, courses, social media, websites, educational materials, or other GET REAL ABOUT™ projects.

Submitting material does not guarantee that it will be published, featured, or otherwise used.

By submitting material, you represent that the information you provide is truthful to the best of your knowledge, that you have the right to submit it, and that your submission does not knowingly violate another person's intellectual property or other legal rights.

Please do not submit confidential information belonging to another person or material you do not have permission to share.

Additional permissions, releases, or agreements may be required before a submission or interview is used in a published project.

Where separate Story Submission Terms, contributor releases, interview releases, or other agreements are provided, those terms will also apply and will control if they conflict with this general section.

7. PRIVACY

Your use of this website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information.

Please review our Privacy Policy before providing personal information through the website.

8. THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES & LINKS

GET REAL ABOUT™ may provide links to therapists, attorneys, healthcare providers, nonprofits, support organizations, government agencies, crisis resources, books, websites, businesses, and other third-party resources that we believe may be useful to our community.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, inclusion of a resource does not mean that GET REAL ABOUT COLLECTIVE LLC endorses, sponsors, controls, or is affiliated with that organization or provider.

We do not control third-party websites, services, policies, availability, accuracy, or practices and are not responsible for their content or services.

We encourage you to research resources independently and determine whether they are appropriate for your individual needs.

9. TESTIMONIALS & RESULTS

Testimonials, personal stories, interviews, and examples appearing on our website represent individual experiences.

They are not guarantees that another person will experience the same results.

Life would certainly be easier if one person's roadmap worked perfectly for everyone.

Unfortunately, that's rarely how real life works.

10. PURCHASES, PRICING & REFUNDS

Prices, availability, promotions, course offerings, and product descriptions may change from time to time.

Additional purchase, cancellation, refund, subscription, or shipping terms may be presented at the time of purchase. Those terms become part of your agreement with us when you complete the applicable transaction.

Products sold or fulfilled by third-party retailers, publishers, booksellers, or platforms are also subject to the terms and policies of those providers.

11. ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to use this website to violate applicable law, infringe another person's rights, interfere with the operation or security of the website, attempt unauthorized access to restricted systems or accounts, distribute malicious software, impersonate another person, or use our content or services for unauthorized commercial purposes.

If community commenting or other interactive features are offered, we may remove content or restrict participation when reasonably necessary to protect our community or services.

12. NO GUARANTEES

We work hard to provide thoughtful, useful, and accurate information, but we cannot guarantee that every piece of information will always be complete, current, error-free, or appropriate for every person's circumstances.

Use of GET REAL ABOUT™ content and resources is at your own discretion and risk.

13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this website and its content and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless GET REAL ABOUT COLLECTIVE LLC and its representatives from claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or material you submit that infringes another person's rights.

16. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms periodically as GET REAL ABOUT™ grows, new features are introduced, or legal requirements change.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the website after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.

17. GOVERNING LAW

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

Any dispute relating to these Terms or use of the website will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any additional dispute-resolution terms agreed to between you and GET REAL ABOUT COLLECTIVE LLC.

18. SEVERABILITY
