Terms of Service

Last updated: April 21, 2026 · Effective: April 21, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Starseed ("Starseed," "we," "our," or "us") and govern your access to and use of starseed.co and any digital products, content, and services we provide (collectively, the "Services"). Please read these Terms carefully. They include an agreement to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration and a waiver of class actions and jury trial (Section 12). By accessing or using the Services, or by purchasing any of our products, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Who we are

Starseed is a single-author imprint selling digital parenting books directly to consumers. Contact: readings@starseed.co.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and able to form a binding contract under applicable law to use the Services or to make a purchase. By using the Services you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

3. What you're buying

A digital ebook (PDF) delivered to your email shortly after payment is processed. Each purchase grants you a single, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license for personal, non-commercial use. The book is not for resale, redistribution, sublicensing, or any commercial use.

The download link is personalized to your email address and the file is watermarked with your order identifier. If a copy of the file appears on a piracy or file-sharing site we may use the watermark to identify the original purchaser and revoke that purchaser's access without refund.

4. Educational use only — not medical advice

The Services and any content we provide (including the books, the website, and emails from us) are for general educational and informational purposes only and are not medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice. Starseed is not a healthcare provider. Use of the Services does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional relationship between you and Starseed.

Always consult your pediatrician, lactation consultant, or other qualified healthcare provider before changing your baby's sleep, feeding, or safety routine, before starting any sleep training method, and with any concern about your child's health, development, or safety. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on the Services.

Always follow current safe-sleep guidance from a recognized authority such as the American Academy of Pediatrics. If you believe your child is experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately.

Every baby is different. The methods discussed are commonly practiced approaches to infant sleep — they do not guarantee any specific outcome and individual results may vary. Testimonials reflect the personal experience of the individual quoted and are not representative of the experience you should expect.

5. Payment, taxes, and refunds

Checkout is processed by our third-party payment processor, which acts as the merchant of record for the transaction. Applicable taxes are calculated and collected by the payment processor and remitted to the relevant tax authorities.

Refunds are governed by our 14-Night Money-Back Guarantee. Short version: apply one method for fourteen (14) consecutive nights, complete Worksheet 1, and email readings@starseed.co between Night 14 and Night 15. Eligible refunds are processed within forty-eight (48) hours.

Chargebacks initiated without first contacting us may, at our discretion, result in revocation of your download access and a permanent block from future purchases. Repeated abusive refund or chargeback patterns may also be reported to the relevant payment networks and risk databases.

6. Delivery and download window

Your download link is valid for seven (7) days from purchase. After that, request a fresh link from starseed.co/resend — we keep your order on file. We may, in our discretion, extend or revoke a download link in connection with fraud prevention, refund processing, or violation of these Terms.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Violations may result in immediate revocation of your access without refund and may also result in legal action.

8. Intellectual property

The Services and all content made available through them — including text, graphics, layouts, logos, designs, images, source code, and the books themselves — are the property of Starseed or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license described in Section 3, no rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

"Starseed" and the Starseed logo are trademarks of Starseed. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

9. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT FOLLOWING ANY METHOD OR ADVICE DESCRIBED IN THE BOOKS WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT FOR YOUR CHILD.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MOMREADY OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent any such limitation is not enforceable in your jurisdiction, the limitation will apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Starseed, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use or misuse of the Services, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, or (d) any content you submit or transmit through the Services.

12. Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class action waiver

Please read this Section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting readings@starseed.co with a written description of the dispute, your contact information, and the relief you are seeking. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days.

Binding arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days, you and Starseed agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in the State of California or, at your election, in the U.S. county where you reside, and may be conducted by telephone or video conference. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. YOU AND MOMREADY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Jury trial waiver. YOU AND MOMREADY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY.

Opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver by sending written notice to readings@starseed.co within thirty (30) days of first agreeing to these Terms. The notice must include your full name, the email address you used at purchase, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Severability. If any provision of this Section 12 is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remainder will continue in effect, except that if the class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entirety of this Section 12 will be null and void with respect to that dispute, and the dispute will be resolved in court.

13. Time limitation on claims

Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or such cause of action or claim is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by applicable law.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to Section 12, the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration will be the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you and Starseed each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use any digital products previously purchased will continue subject to these Terms; however, we may revoke access to active download links and to any future purchases.

16. Changes to the Services and to these Terms

We may modify the Services at any time, including adding, changing, or removing features. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the date of the most recent update. We will provide additional notice of material changes (such as by posting a prominent notice on the Services or, where required, by email). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of them. For existing orders, the version of the Terms in effect at the time of purchase governs the transaction itself.

17. Force majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, governmental action, labor disputes, internet or power outages, denial-of-service attacks, or failures of third-party providers.

18. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is null and void.

19. Entire agreement; severability

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Starseed regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

20. No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later.

21. Notices

We may provide notices to you by posting on the Services, by email to the address associated with your purchase, or by any other reasonable means. Notices to us must be sent to readings@starseed.co.
