Chantry Terms and Conditions

Effective date: October 25, 2026

1. About these terms

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your use of the Chantry website at chantry.work, the Chantry mobile app, and any related services, including our beta program and text messages (together, "Chantry"). Chantry is offered by The Teach Collective LLC, a California limited liability company ("we," "us" or "our").

By using Chantry, signing up for updates, joining the beta or creating an account, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Chantry.

2. Who can use Chantry

You must be at least 16 years old to use Chantry. By using it, you confirm that you are 16 or older and able to agree to these Terms.

3. Chantry is not therapy or medical care

Chantry offers reflection, encouragement and practical tools for life at work. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or legal, financial or career advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed professional. Nothing in Chantry creates a counselor, clinician or coaching relationship between you and us.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the United States) or call 911. Chantry is not designed to respond to emergencies.

4. AI features

Some features, such as Talk it through, use artificial intelligence to respond to what you write. AI responses are generated automatically, can be incomplete or wrong, and do not come from a person. Use your own judgment before acting on them. We may limit how much you can use AI features. Please don't enter information you don't want processed, such as passwords, financial account numbers or other people's private details.

5. Faith content

Chantry offers different tone settings, including faith-based content drawn from the Christian tradition. You choose your setting and can change it at any time. Faith content reflects our perspective and is offered for reflection, not as religious authority.

6. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity under your account. Please give us accurate information and let us know at support@chantry.work if you think your account has been used without your permission.

7. Subscriptions, trials and founding offers

Chantry is a paid subscription, available monthly or yearly at the prices shown in the app at the time of purchase. New subscribers may receive a free trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription begins and you are charged automatically.

Subscriptions bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play are billed and managed by Apple or Google under their terms. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. To cancel, use your App Store or Google Play subscription settings; cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. Refunds for store purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

From time to time we may offer founding pricing, extended trials or discount codes. Each offer has its own terms, which we'll tell you when you sign up. Codes have no cash value and can't be transferred unless we say otherwise.

We may change our prices. If a change affects your subscription, we'll give you notice before it takes effect, and you can cancel before then.

8. Beta program

If you join the Chantry beta as a Trail Worker, you'll be using a pre-release version of the app. It may have bugs, missing features or interruptions, and content or progress may be lost or reset. We may change or end the beta at any time.

Any reward for beta participation, such as a free first year of Chantry, is described in your invitation and depends on completing the steps it lists, such as the exit survey.

9. Text messages

If you agree to receive text messages from Chantry, we'll send you customer care messages about the beta, your account and the app. These include schedule reminders, install and update instructions, issue notices, survey reminders and replies to your support questions. We don't send marketing messages by text.

Message frequency varies, typically 1–3 messages per week during the beta. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages; you'll receive one confirmation and no further texts. Reply HELP for help, or email support@chantry.work. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We do not sell or share your mobile number or text-messaging consent with third parties for their marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.

10. Your content and feedback

What you write in Chantry, such as reflections, journal entries and messages, belongs to you. You give us permission to store and process it only as needed to run Chantry and provide its features to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, including through the beta, you agree we may use them to improve Chantry without paying you or owing you anything.

11. Our content

Chantry, including its app, website, writing, cards, characters, images, audio, design, name and logo, is owned by The Teach Collective LLC or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and trademark law. We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use Chantry for your own non-commercial use while you follow these Terms. Please don't copy, republish, sell or build on our content without written permission. Where Chantry draws on books or other works by outside authors, we cite them, and those works remain the property of their owners.

12. Acceptable use

Please use Chantry respectfully. Don't misuse it, including by trying to access accounts or systems that aren't yours, interfering with how Chantry works, copying it in bulk or with automated tools, reverse engineering the app, using it to harass or harm anyone, or using it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or end access for anyone who does.

13. Third-party services

Chantry relies on services from other companies, such as app stores, payment processors, hosting, email, text messaging and AI providers. Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms. We aren't responsible for third-party services or websites we link to.

14. Disclaimers

Chantry is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that Chantry will be uninterrupted, error-free or suited to a particular purpose, or that any content or AI response is accurate or complete.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, The Teach Collective LLC and its members will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of Chantry. Our total liability for any claim relating to Chantry is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for Chantry in the 12 months before the claim, or $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

16. Ending your use

You can stop using Chantry at any time; to end a subscription, cancel it in your App Store or Google Play settings. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms or if we stop offering Chantry. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as ownership, disclaimers and limits of liability, survive after your use ends.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the effective date above, and for significant changes we'll let you know in the app or by email. If you keep using Chantry after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by California law. If you have a concern, please contact us first; most issues can be resolved quickly that way. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.
