Terms of Service
Effective: April 2026 · Signal Garden LLC · signalgarden.studio
These are the rules for using Signal Garden OS Alpha™. They are written in plain language because you deserve to know what you are agreeing to. If something is unclear, email us at [email protected].
Short version: Signal Garden is a web-based creative productivity software service. You pay $20/month for OS Alpha access. The free public studio remains free. We do not diagnose you, sell your data, or override your judgment. You own your journal entries. Cancel anytime.
1. Who we are
Signal Garden OS Alpha™ is operated by Signal Garden LLC, a limited liability company. The Human Steward is Chelsea Gayle Foresman. Contact: [email protected].
2. What Signal Garden is
Signal Garden OS Alpha™ is a web-based creative productivity software service for reflection, decision tracking, symbolic play, and governed meaning-making. It is not therapy, medical advice, financial advice, or a diagnostic tool. It does not predict your future, assign your identity, or claim to know who you are. The system helps you see what is happening. You interpret. You act.
3. Who can use it
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or subscribe. By using Signal Garden, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these terms. The service is currently available in English only.
4. Free access vs. paid access
The public studio — Cathedral Library, Card of the Day, Shrines (view mode), DJ Gremlin HQ, Arcade, and Duck Bucks™ — is free and requires no account. It will remain free.
OS Alpha access — Nexus Cockpit, Underarchive™, Manus Helping Hands™, and governed AI-assisted tools — requires a paid subscription at $20/month (Founding Patron tier). Subscription renews automatically each month until canceled.
5. AI credits
Your subscription includes 100 monthly AI credits. Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over. Additional credits are available as one-time top-up packs. Credits have no cash value and cannot be refunded.
6. Payment and cancellation
Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Signal Garden LLC to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access until then.
See our Refund Policy for details on refund eligibility.
7. Your content
Your Underarchive™ journal entries and personal data are yours. We do not sell your content, use it to train AI models, or share it with third parties without your explicit consent. You grant Signal Garden LLC a limited license to store and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Signal Garden to harass, harm, or deceive others; to attempt to reverse-engineer or extract proprietary system architecture; to circumvent access controls or billing; or to use the service in any way that violates applicable law. Violations may result in account suspension or termination without refund.
9. Intellectual property
Signal Garden's system architecture, governance framework, lore layer, AI agent personas, and all original content are proprietary to Signal Garden LLC. See the Licensing page for details on what may and may not be derived or licensed.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Signal Garden OS Alpha™ is provided "as is." We make no warranties about uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Signal Garden LLC's liability to you for any claim arising from use of the service is limited to the amount you paid in the 30 days preceding the claim.
Signal Garden is not a medical, psychological, financial, or legal service. Nothing on this platform constitutes professional advice of any kind.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we will post the updated version here with a new effective date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will notify subscribers of material changes by email.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state of residence of Signal Garden LLC's registered agent. Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration or small claims court, at your election.
