Legal
Terms of Service
These Terms govern your use of Mourning Guide. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.
Effective date: July 1, 2026
The service
Mourning Guide provides private planning tools, a vault for practical information, legacy-contact workflows, letters, final-wishes tools, memorial portal tools, and grief-oriented task guidance for US families.
Mourning Guide is not a law firm, funeral home, financial adviser, tax adviser, health-care provider, emergency service, probate service, or clinical mental-health provider. Content in the service is general information and organizational support, not legal, financial, medical, tax, or professional advice.
Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding agreement.
- You are responsible for accurate account information and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure.
- You may not use another person's account without permission.
- You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
Your content
You keep ownership of the information, letters, wishes, documents, photos, obituary text, and other content you submit. You give Mourning Guide permission to host, store, process, display, transmit, and share that content as needed to provide the service and carry out the choices you make in the product.
You are responsible for the content you add, publish, send, or ask us to deliver. Do not upload content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, infringing, invasive of another person's privacy, or that you do not have the right to use.
Legacy contacts, letters, and activation
Mourning Guide lets planning users name legacy contacts and create instructions for release after death or activation. You are responsible for choosing trusted contacts, keeping contact information current, and ensuring the information you enter reflects your wishes.
We may require authentication, waiting periods, audit logs, or other verification steps before releasing information. We cannot guarantee that every contact, email, or delivery will succeed, especially if contact information is outdated or third-party email systems reject messages.
Subscriptions, trials, and payments
Planning accounts may include a free trial and then convert to a paid subscription if you choose to upgrade. Prices, billing intervals, and plan details are shown at checkout. Payments are processed by Stripe.
Unless otherwise stated at checkout, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel future renewals through account billing tools or by contacting support. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated by us.
The grief-support path is free. We may update plan features or pricing prospectively, but we will not charge you without your authorization.
Acceptable use
- Do not break the law, violate another person's rights, or misuse personal information.
- Do not attempt to access accounts, data, systems, or APIs without authorization.
- Do not interfere with security, availability, billing, or normal operation of the service.
- Do not upload malware, spam, deceptive content, or content intended to harass or exploit others.
- Do not reverse engineer the service except where law permits.
Disclaimers
The service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every instruction, email, memorial page, upload, or third-party integration will always work. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Mourning Guide will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or substitute services. Our total liability for claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Mourning Guide in the 12 months before the claim or $100.
Termination
You may stop using the service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create risk for users or the service, fail to pay amounts owed, or if continued operation would expose us or others to legal or security risk.
Governing law
Mourning Guide is operated by a business being registered in New Hampshire. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in New Hampshire will have jurisdiction for disputes that are not otherwise resolved.
