Terms

Clear terms for the public website.

Books, information and community material need straightforward terms. They do not need hidden spiritual conditions or claims that a purchase changes a person's standing.

Using the website

Browsing does not create an obligation.

This website presents the Continuance philosophy, its books, practices, public resources and opportunities to participate. Reading it does not require agreement or membership.

Independent judgement

Material on this site contains philosophical, literary and practical ideas. It does not replace medical, legal, financial, psychological or other regulated professional advice. Readers remain responsible for their decisions and for seeking qualified help when appropriate.

Books and digital products

Where a publication or other item is offered for purchase, the relevant page or checkout should show the current price, format and material delivery information before a customer commits to purchase. Any additional product-specific terms displayed at checkout form part of that transaction. The free introductory PDF remains separate from paid publications.

No purchased spiritual status

Buying a book, making a donation or paying for any future membership or event does not confer spiritual rank, privileged access to truth or authority over another person.

Payments and third-party services

Online purchases may be processed using third-party checkout and payment services, including SureCart and the payment providers configured through it. Those services may have their own terms and privacy information at the point of use.

Intellectual property

Original books, site copy, designs, images and downloadable material remain protected by applicable intellectual property law unless a specific item is expressly released under different terms. A purchase normally grants use of the copy purchased, not a right to reproduce or redistribute the underlying work.

Community participation

Any online or in-person community rules sit alongside these website terms and should remain consistent with the Continuance's safeguarding, consent and governance principles.

Changes

These terms may change as the organisation, publications and website develop. Material changes should be dated and communicated clearly rather than silently rewritten.

Buying something is not buying belonging.

Purchasing a book or membership does not grant authority over anybody’s views, conscience or choices.
