These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of thesomascript.com, including its public pages, the browser-based Breath tool, free excerpts or downloads, and any other Company-controlled page that links to these Terms (collectively, the "Site"). The Site is owned and operated by The Soma Script LLC ("The Soma Script," "we," "us," or "our").
Outside checkout, payment, retailer, and delivery services operate under their own terms. Those services are addressed below.
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. When you purchase a product, any product-specific terms displayed at checkout and the terms of the outside provider handling the transaction or delivery also apply.
Questions about these Terms may be sent to theodor@thesomascript.com.
1. The Site and Its Content
The Site provides information about Max Theodor, Edge to Path, related publishing work, excerpts, educational materials, the Breath tool, and links to outside purchase and delivery services.
The Site and its content are offered for education, reflection, commentary, and general information. The Site may change as books, formats, providers, or publishing activities change.
2. Educational Boundaries and No Professional Relationship
The Site may discuss trauma, somatic therapy, consciousness, mental health, relationships, stress, safety, and body-based practices. This content is not medical advice, psychotherapy, diagnosis, treatment, legal advice, crisis care, or emergency service. It is not a substitute for care from a qualified physician, therapist, trauma-informed clinician, lawyer, or other licensed professional.
Using the Site, using the Breath tool, purchasing or reading a product, or emailing The Soma Script does not create a therapist-client, doctor-patient, attorney-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.
Do not use the Site to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or manage a medical or mental-health condition. Decisions involving health, treatment, medication, safety, or law should be made with appropriately qualified professionals.
3. Safety and Urgent Support
Some Site content and book excerpts describe violence, trauma, dissociation, suicidal despair, relational harm, and body-based practices. Read and participate at a scale you can carry. The Reader Safety page provides additional guidance on stopping, orienting, returning, and finding appropriate support.
Reader Safety: thesomascript.com/safety
The Site and the Company email inbox are not emergency communication channels and are not continuously monitored. Sending a message does not create a duty to provide urgent assistance.
If you are in immediate danger, may harm yourself or someone else, or need urgent medical or mental-health support, contact local emergency services. In the United States and U.S. territories, call or text 988 or use 988 chat for crisis support.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988lifeline.org
Nothing on the Site asks anyone to remain in danger. When a relationship, environment, or situation is unsafe, distance, outside support, legal protection, medical care, or emergency help may be the necessary action.
4. Breath Tool and Body-Based Practices
The Breath page offers optional breathing, pacing, sound, and awareness exercises for general educational and reflective use. The Breath tool is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, treatment program, or substitute for individualized care.
Participation is voluntary. Results vary, and no particular physical, emotional, therapeutic, or consciousness-related result is promised. Stop an exercise if it produces dizziness, pain, unusual shortness of breath, panic, blankness, dissociation, numbness, loss of orientation, or difficulty returning to the present.
Use the Breath tool only in a stable, physically safe setting. Do not use it while driving, operating machinery, in water, or anywhere a change in breathing, attention, or balance could create a risk of injury.
Some practices may be unsuitable for people with cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, or other medical conditions; for people who are pregnant; or for people experiencing active panic, dissociation, trauma symptoms, or an unsafe environment. Seek qualified guidance before using any practice that may be medically or psychologically risky for you.
The tool may function differently across browsers, devices, accessibility settings, or operating systems. You remain responsible for choosing whether, when, and how to use it.
5. Eligibility and Children
The Site is intended for a general adult audience. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Site only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. The Site is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not use the Site.
A purchaser must have legal capacity to enter into a purchase or must act with the authorization of a parent or legal guardian.
6. Intellectual Property
The Site and its contents, including text, excerpts, design, graphics, logos, images, audio, video, interactive elements, downloads, page layouts, and other materials (collectively, "Site Content"), are owned by or licensed to The Soma Script and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
You may view the Site for personal, non-commercial use, share ordinary links to public pages, and quote brief excerpts for reviews, scholarship, commentary, teaching, or other uses permitted by law, with appropriate attribution. All other uses require prior written permission.
Except as permitted by applicable law, you may not copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, adapt, translate, sell, license, scrape, archive, mirror, upload, transmit, or otherwise exploit Site Content without written permission.
You may not use Site Content or purchased digital products to create training datasets or to train, fine-tune, test, evaluate, or improve artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, generative-content, or automated-content systems without prior written permission from The Soma Script.
Edge to Path, The Soma Script, Max Theodor, and related names, titles, phrases, logos, or branding may be trademarks, service marks, trade names, or protected brand identifiers. You may not use them in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship without written permission.
7. Permitted and Prohibited Use
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the Site, its security, its providers, or the rights of others.
You may not:
- use the Site for unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive, or otherwise objectionable activity;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, servers, systems, networks, files, or provider accounts;
- introduce malware, viruses, harmful code, or tools designed to impair, probe, or disrupt the Site;
- use bots, crawlers, scraping tools, automated extraction, or bulk-download systems without written permission;
- circumvent access controls, download restrictions, watermarking, license limits, or other protective measures;
- misrepresent your identity, impersonate another person, or submit false or misleading information;
- submit private or identifying information about another person without authority or consent;
- republish, resell, sublicense, or create substitute or derivative commercial products from Site Content or purchased products without permission; or
- interfere with normal Site operation, security, hosting, email transmission, payment processing, or digital delivery.
8. Communications and User Submissions
If you send an email, question, suggestion, review, testimonial, attachment, or other communication to The Soma Script (collectively, "Communications"), you are responsible for what you send and for having the right to send it.
Ordinary email is not a secure clinical, medical, legal, or emergency channel. Please leave out medical records, therapy records, crisis details, private trauma histories, confidential client information, financial credentials, and sensitive identifying information about other people.
You retain ownership of your Communications. You grant The Soma Script a limited, non-exclusive permission to receive, copy, store, and process them only as reasonably necessary to respond, fulfill a request, maintain appropriate business records, comply with law, or protect legal rights.
Private emails, personal stories, and identifiable Communications will not be quoted, published, used as testimonials, or used in marketing without separate, explicit permission. Public reviews or social-media posts remain subject to the settings and terms of the platform where they appear.
General feedback about Site operation may be considered without compensation or confidentiality obligations. We will not publicly identify or quote you in connection with that feedback without permission.
You represent that your Communication does not violate these Terms, applicable law, confidentiality obligations, or another person's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
9. Purchases and Outside Checkout Providers
The Site may link to outside checkout, payment, retailer, and fulfillment providers for books, ebooks, audiobooks, companion materials, or other products identified at the point of purchase (collectively, "Products"). The Site does not process payment-card information directly.
When a purchase uses Lemon Squeezy, Lemon Squeezy acts as the merchant of record and authorized reseller for the transaction. The payment transaction is governed by Lemon Squeezy's Buyer Terms, Privacy Policy, and the information shown at checkout. The Soma Script remains the supplier and licensor of the Product.
Lemon Squeezy Buyer Terms: lemonsqueezy.com/buyer-terms
Other retailers or checkout providers may act as the seller or merchant of record for transactions handled through their services. Their terms, privacy policies, refund rules, tax treatment, and customer-service procedures apply to those transactions.
By completing a purchase, you agree to pay the price and applicable taxes shown at checkout and to provide accurate billing, contact, and delivery information. An outside provider or The Soma Script may decline or cancel an order because of payment failure, suspected fraud, pricing error, legal restriction, product unavailability, or another legitimate reason. If payment has been captured for a canceled order, the responsible provider will process the appropriate refund.
10. Digital Product License
After a completed purchase, and subject to these Terms and any product-specific terms, The Soma Script grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the purchased digital Product for your own non-commercial reading, listening, or reference. A purchase transfers a license to use the Product; it does not transfer ownership of the copyright or other intellectual-property rights.
Where the delivery provider permits, you may download the Product to your personal devices and keep a reasonable personal backup. You may not:
- share, forward, publish, upload, post, or distribute the Product or its download link;
- resell, rent, lend, sublicense, gift by file transfer, or make the Product available through a shared library, torrent, cloud folder, or public repository;
- remove copyright notices, watermarking, identifying information, or technical access controls;
- convert or reproduce the Product for commercial use, public distribution, institutional distribution, or a derivative product;
- use the Product for artificial-intelligence or machine-learning training, evaluation, or dataset creation without written permission; or
- permit another person to use your purchase credentials or delivery link in a way that exceeds ordinary personal use.
Book clubs, classrooms, libraries, organizations, clinics, and other institutions should request permission or obtain an appropriate license unless their use is already permitted by law. Statutory rights, including fair use or another applicable exception, remain unaffected.
Free excerpts and downloadable materials are also limited to personal, non-commercial use unless a different license is stated with the material.
11. Digital Delivery, Access, and Preorders
Digital delivery may be provided by BookFunnel or another provider identified at purchase. BookFunnel may send a unique private delivery link and provide technical assistance for downloading or transferring an ebook or audiobook.
BookFunnel Reader Help: bookfunnel.com/help
You are responsible for entering an accurate email address, checking spam or filtered folders, and using a reasonably compatible device or application. Product pages or delivery providers may identify supported formats, device requirements, download periods, or access conditions.
If a delivery message does not arrive or a file cannot be accessed, contact the delivery provider or email The Soma Script with the order number and purchase email. We will make reasonable efforts to help route the issue to the appropriate provider, but provider outages, account restrictions, device incompatibility, and third-party delays may remain outside our control.
A preorder will be delivered on or near the release date displayed at purchase, subject to provider processing and any later notice. Release dates may change. If a preorder is canceled or materially delayed, refunds and other remedies will be handled under the checkout provider's terms and applicable law.
A digital Product may include watermarking, unique delivery links, download limits, or access controls where disclosed by the delivery provider or product page.
12. No-Refund Policy, Prices, Taxes, and Chargebacks
Prices, currencies, taxes, discounts, availability, and promotions are shown at checkout and may change before an order is completed. When Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record, it handles payment processing, applicable sales taxes or VAT, refunds, and chargebacks for that transaction.
Except where a refund is required by law, all sales of digital books, audiobooks, downloads, and other digital products are final once access or delivery has been provided.
The Soma Script does not provide refunds after access or delivery because a customer finished reading or listening to the product, changed their mind, disagreed with the content, expected a different kind of book, failed to use the product, or requested a refund without a delivery, access, billing, or technical issue.
The Soma Script may approve a refund only for a duplicate charge, failed delivery, or a material technical problem that prevents access to the purchased product and cannot be resolved after reasonable troubleshooting, or where required by law. Lemon Squeezy or another merchant of record may separately process or approve refunds under its own terms and legal obligations.
Product-specific terms displayed at checkout also apply. Purchases processed through Lemon Squeezy or another checkout provider may also be subject to that provider's checkout and refund procedures. Delivery through BookFunnel or another fulfillment provider is subject to that provider's delivery and technical-help procedures.
To request assistance with a duplicate charge, failed delivery, or unresolved technical access issue, contact us promptly at the email below and include the order number, purchase email, and a brief description of the issue. The checkout provider or merchant of record may process any approved refund and determine when it appears on the original payment method.
Nothing in this section limits refund, cancellation, withdrawal, warranty, or other consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
13. Newsletters and Email Updates
The Site does not currently operate a newsletter signup. If a mailing list or launch-update signup is added later, the signup page will explain what messages will be sent and how to unsubscribe. Marketing email will include an unsubscribe method where required by law.
A purchase or direct inquiry may still generate transactional, delivery, administrative, security, or legal messages connected to that transaction or request.
14. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may link to outside websites, checkout providers, retailers, payment services, delivery services, crisis resources, or informational resources. Current providers may include Lemon Squeezy and BookFunnel, with other providers identified at the point of use.
Once you leave the Site, the outside service's terms and privacy practices apply. The Soma Script does not control and is not responsible for an outside service's content, security, availability, accessibility, accuracy, pricing, policies, or handling of personal information. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement.
15. Testimonials, Reviews, and Results
Any testimonial, reader response, review, or example used by The Soma Script will be based on an actual communication and used with permission. It may be shortened or lightly edited for length, grammar, or privacy without changing its meaning. A material relationship or incentive will be disclosed where required by law.
Individual experiences vary. No book, excerpt, Breath practice, essay, educational resource, or other Product guarantees healing, symptom relief, trauma recovery, personal transformation, clinical improvement, spiritual development, business results, or any other outcome.
16. Copyright Complaints
If you believe material on the Site infringes your copyright, email The Soma Script with enough information to identify the copyrighted work, locate the challenged material, explain the basis of the claim, and allow us to respond. This section does not waive any rights or defenses available under law.
17. Privacy
Use of the Site is also governed by the Privacy Policy: thesomascript.com/privacy.
Outside checkout and delivery providers process information under their own privacy policies. Review those policies before submitting payment, delivery, or account information.

BookFunnel Privacy Policy: bookfunnel.com/privacy
18. Site Availability, Corrections, and Changes
We may update, correct, remove, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site or Site Content. We may correct typographical errors, inaccurate descriptions, broken links, pricing errors, or other mistakes at any time.
We do not guarantee that every page, tool, file, format, or provider link will remain available or function without interruption. Maintenance, browser changes, hosting issues, security events, provider outages, or other circumstances may affect access.
19. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site, Site Content, Breath tool, free materials, and Products are provided "as is" and "as available." The Soma Script disclaims express and implied warranties, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
We do not promise that the Site or a provider service will be secure, uninterrupted, current, free of errors, free of harmful components, compatible with every device, or available at all times. Educational and research-related information may become outdated as evidence, standards, services, and laws change.
Some jurisdictions provide warranties or consumer rights that cannot be disclaimed. Those rights remain in effect.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Soma Script and its owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, representatives, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages; lost profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity; emotional distress; or other losses arising from or related to the Site, Site Content, Breath tool, Products, outside providers, or inability to access them.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of The Soma Script for any claim arising from or related to the Site, a Product, or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount paid for the specific Product or service giving rise to the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot be limited, death or personal injury where applicable law prohibits limitation, or any other liability or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of this section may not apply to you.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Soma Script and its owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, representatives, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your unlawful use of the Site, your material breach of these Terms, your violation of another person's rights, or content you submit without the necessary rights or consent.
This section does not require you to indemnify a party for that party's own fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot legally be shifted to you.
22. Suspension and Termination
We may restrict or terminate access to the Site or a Site feature when we reasonably believe a user has violated these Terms, threatened security, infringed rights, engaged in fraud, shared purchased files or access links without authorization, or interfered with Site or provider operation.
A provider may separately suspend payment, account, download, or delivery access under its own terms. Suspension does not remove payment obligations, intellectual-property restrictions, or provisions that by their nature should continue after termination.
23. Governing Law, Venue, and Consumer Rights
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
To the extent permitted by law, a dispute arising from these Terms or the Site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of protections, remedies, or access to courts that cannot be waived under the law where you live. Mandatory consumer law controls where it applies.
24. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Site, Products, providers, business practices, or law. The revised version will appear on the Site with a new "Last updated" date.
Unless a change is required by law, security, or provider operation, a completed purchase is generally governed by the product and license terms in effect when the purchase was made. Continued use of the Site after revised Terms take effect means you accept the revised Terms for later Site use.
25. Severability, Entire Agreement, and No Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be interpreted as closely as possible to its lawful purpose.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Reader Safety page, and any product-specific Company terms displayed at purchase form the agreement between you and The Soma Script concerning the Site and Products. Outside-provider terms form separate agreements between you and those providers.
If terms conflict, product-specific Company terms control the Product, outside-provider terms control the outside provider's service or transaction, and these Terms control the Site and the license granted by The Soma Script.
A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other right. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without written permission. The Soma Script may assign these Terms as part of a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.
