These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of herselve.com (the "Site") and the content, products, assessments, programs, events, communications, and other services provided by Herselve ("we," "us," or "our").

These Terms apply to the Site and Herselve offerings, including The H. Show, the Herselve Newsletter, Present Me, digital products, programs, educational experiences, events, and other free or paid offerings made available by Herselve.

By accessing or using the Site, purchasing or using a Herselve product or service, registering for an offering, or otherwise interacting with services governed by these Terms, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the applicable Site, product, or service.

1. About Herselve

Herselve is an independent media and education company focused on modern womanhood. Herselve publishes editorial content and provides assessments, digital products, programs, events, educational experiences, and other offerings concerning subjects that may include midlife, personal development, relationships, work, money, style, aging, culture, and other aspects of women's lives.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Herselve's content and offerings are provided for informational, editorial, educational, and self-reflection purposes.

2. Eligibility

The Site and Herselve's general editorial content may be accessible to a broad audience. Present Me and Herselve's paid personal-development products, programs, and similar offerings are intended for adults age 18 or older.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to purchase or participate in those offerings. By making such a purchase or registering for such an offering, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Present Me

Present Me is Herselve's proprietary self-reflection assessment. It uses responses provided by the participant together with the Present Me framework, including its five orientations and Eight Energies, to provide a structured view of the position from which the participant is currently engaging with her life.

Present Me Is Not a Personality Test. A Present Me orientation describes a current position. It is not intended to define a person's permanent identity, personality, character, or future. Results may differ as circumstances, priorities, experiences, perspectives, and responses change.

Results Are Interpretive. Present Me results are generated using the responses submitted by the participant and Herselve's methodology. The results provide a framework for reflection. They are not objective determinations about a person and do not constitute guarantees, predictions, diagnoses, or professional conclusions. You remain responsible for deciding what meaning or relevance you assign to your results and for any decisions or actions you take based on them.

4. Educational and Informational Purposes Only

Herselve, Present Me, The H. Show, the Herselve Newsletter, programs, events, and other Herselve content and offerings are provided for informational, editorial, educational, and self-reflection purposes. They are not medical care, mental-health care, psychotherapy, psychological testing, diagnosis, treatment, counseling, or healthcare services.

Present Me is not a clinical or diagnostic assessment and is not intended to identify, diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental-health condition.

Herselve content is not a substitute for legal, financial, tax, investment, medical, mental-health, or other licensed professional advice. You should seek appropriately qualified professional assistance when your individual circumstances require it.

5. No Guaranteed Outcomes

Herselve does not guarantee any particular personal, professional, financial, relational, health, business, or other outcome from using or participating in a Herselve product, assessment, program, event, service, or piece of content. Individual experiences vary, and no example or testimonial constitutes a promise or guarantee that you will experience the same result.

6. Purchases and Payments

Prices and material purchase terms are displayed on the applicable sales or checkout page. By completing a purchase, you agree to pay the amount and any applicable taxes or charges disclosed to you before purchase.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors, including Stripe. Herselve does not directly store complete payment-card information. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted for a purchase.

7. Digital Products and Delivery

Present Me is a digital product. After completion of the assessment, results may be displayed electronically and may also be delivered or made accessible by email or another digital method. You are responsible for providing accurate contact information and maintaining access to the email address used for your purchase.

If you purchase a product but cannot access it because of a technical issue, contact hello@herselve.com.

8. Refunds and Cancellations

Unless otherwise stated on the applicable sales or checkout page, digital products that provide immediate access to proprietary materials, assessments, personalized results, recordings, downloads, or similar digital content are generally non-refundable once access has been provided.

If you are incorrectly charged or experience a verified technical issue that Herselve cannot reasonably resolve, contact hello@herselve.com. Nothing in these Terms eliminates any refund or consumer right that cannot lawfully be waived.
