Welcome to Grace, a Catholic spiritual wellness platform created with love by Essie. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our platform and represent our commitment to creating a sacred, respectful space for spiritual growth.

Sacred Use Guidelines
Respectful Participation
Grace is designed as a sacred space for Catholic spiritual wellness. We ask all users to participate with reverence, kindness, and respect for our shared faith and the diverse backgrounds within our Catholic community.
Spiritual Content
All prayers, meditations, and spiritual content are provided for personal spiritual growth. While carefully crafted by Essie according to Catholic teaching, they are meant to supplement, not replace, the Sacraments, Mass attendance, and guidance from qualified priests and spiritual directors.
Community Interactions
When participating in community features, please maintain Christian charity in all interactions. Share your faith journey authentically while respecting others' spiritual experiences and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Community Standards
To maintain our sacred community, the following activities are not permitted:
Sacred Content & Ownership
All spiritual content, prayers, meditations, and platform features are created with love by Essie and are protected by intellectual property laws. While we encourage personal use for spiritual growth, commercial use requires explicit permission.
Traditional Catholic prayers and Scripture remain in the public domain and belong to the Church and all believers. Essie's unique interpretations, guided meditations, and platform innovations are proprietary to Grace.

Legal Compliance & Jurisdiction
Grace operates under the guidance of multilegal frameworks to ensure compliance across various jurisdictions where our Catholic community members reside. These Terms are governed by applicable laws while respecting the universal nature of Catholic faith.
Our multilegal approach ensures that Catholics worldwide can access Grace's spiritual resources while maintaining compliance with their local legal requirements.
