Digital Product License & Disclaimer
Read me before you share me.
Every Truce Room download is made to help you handle conflict with a little more clarity and a lot less chaos. This page explains how our free and paid resources can be used, what's off-limits, and why "free to download" doesn't mean "free to resell." Read on so we can keep giving the good stuff away.
Please read our full disclaimer below prior to any interaction with us.
Digital Product Licensing and Disclaimer
Effective Date: January 2026
Welcome to The Truce Room Mediation Center (“The Truce Room,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing this website, submitting an inquiry, scheduling services, purchasing a service, participating in a consultation, coaching session, mediation-related service, or using any information associated with The Truce Room, you acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimer, limitations, and terms. By downloading, purchasing, or using any Truce Room digital product, you agree to the terms below.
1. Ownership & Copyright
All Truce Room digital products — including guides, workbooks, worksheets, templates, and any accompanying text, design, graphics, and branding — are the original work and intellectual property of The Truce Room Mediation Center (“The Truce Room,” “we,” “our”) and are protected under United States copyright law. Downloading or purchasing a digital product does not transfer ownership of any content to you. You are receiving a limited license to use the resource — not the rights to the work itself.
2. License for Purchased Products
Purchased digital products are licensed to one individual user only. Your purchase grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
Download, save, and print the product for your own personal use;
Use the content to support your own personal growth, relationships, or conflict situations.
One purchase covers one person. If a friend, family member, co-parent, colleague, or organization would benefit from the resource, we're genuinely glad to hear it — please send them to thetruceroom.com to get their own copy.
3. License for Free Resources
Free Truce Room resources are offered as a gift to the community — and they stay free because they're respected. Free resources are licensed for personal, non-commercial use by the individual who downloaded them directly from thetruceroom.com.
You are welcome — encouraged, even — to share free resources by sharing the link to the page where they live, so others can download their own copy directly from us. Please do not forward, upload, post, or distribute the file itself. “Free to download” does not mean “free to redistribute,” and it never means “free to sell.” When free resources are misused, it puts the free model at risk for everyone — and we would much rather keep giving these away.
4. What You May Not Do (Any Product, Free or Paid)
Unless you have our prior written permission, you may not:
Sell it — resell, license, rent, or otherwise commercialize any Truce Room digital product, in whole or in part, in any format;
Redistribute it — share, forward, email, upload, post, or otherwise distribute the file to anyone else, including on websites, social media, shared drives, file-sharing platforms, or group chats;
Replicate it — copy, reproduce, scan, screenshot-compile, or duplicate the product beyond your own personal-use copies;
Rework it — edit, rebrand, translate, excerpt, or create derivative works from the content, or remove or alter any copyright notices, branding, or attribution;
Teach from it — use the content in courses, trainings, workshops, coaching programs, client work, employee programs, or any other professional or organizational setting without an appropriate license; we of course would love to be asset for your audience to model and learn from, but let’s do it right and get the correct usage and licensing in order.
Claim it — claim the content as your own or present it under another name or brand.
5. Team, Organizational & Facilitator Use
Want to use a Truce Room resource with your team, organization, classroom, congregation, or clients? We'd love that — and there's a right way to do it. Multi-user, organizational, and facilitator licensing is available. Contact us at letsmeet@thetruceroom.com and we'll find an arrangement that fits.
6. Not Therapy. Not Legal Advice. Not a Substitute for Professional Help.
Truce Room digital products are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing in any Truce Room digital product is, or should be interpreted as:
Therapy — therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment of any kind;
Legal advice — legal advice, legal representation, or a substitute for consultation with a licensed attorney;
Any other professional advice — medical, psychiatric, financial, tax, or other professional advice or services.
The Truce Room and its founder are trained mediators — not attorneys, therapists, physicians, or financial professionals — and mediators are neutral facilitators, not advocates. Nothing in our digital products advocates for a particular position, party, or outcome.
Downloading, purchasing, or using a digital product does not create a mediator–client, attorney–client, therapist–patient, or any other professional relationship with The Truce Room.
Every conflict, family, and situation is different. Our resources offer general frameworks and reflection tools; they are not tailored to your specific circumstances. For advice specific to your situation, please consult a licensed attorney, mental health professional, or other qualified professional in your area. If you or someone else is in immediate danger or experiencing a crisis, contact 911 or your local emergency services.
7. No Guarantee of Outcomes
Conflict resolution takes willing participants, honest effort, and often professional support. While our resources are built with care and grounded in mediation training and practice, we make no guarantees, promises, or warranties — express or implied — about the results you may experience from using them. Digital products are provided “as is.” Your use of any Truce Room digital product is at your own discretion and risk.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Truce Room Mediation Center, its owner, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, any digital product — including decisions or actions you take (or don't take) based on its content.
9. Refunds
Because digital products are delivered instantly and cannot be returned, all sales are final and non-refundable except where required by law. If something went wrong with your order or download, reach out — we're reasonable people and we'll make it right where we can.
10. Violations & Enforcement
We reserve the right to revoke your license, refuse future sales, and pursue any available legal remedies — including remedies under U.S. copyright law — in the event of unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or sale of our digital products. If you've seen a Truce Room resource being sold or distributed somewhere it shouldn't be, we'd be grateful for a heads-up at letsmeet@thetruceroom.com.
11. Governing Law & Updates
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. We may update this license and disclaimer from time to time; the version included with your download, or the current version posted at thetruceroom.com, applies to your use.
12. Questions & Permissions
Want to request permission, ask about licensing, or clarify anything here? We'd rather have the conversation than the conflict — it's kind of our whole thing. Community is the epicenter of what we stand for. Let’s keep our community in-tact and safe in every way. Thank you again for downloading our resources. We appreciate you and your existence.
20. No Solicitation of Specific Legal Reliance
Contacting The Truce Room by phone, email, text, social media, website form, or booking platform does not obligate us to accept your matter, and you should not delay seeking legal counsel, emergency help, or court relief based on a pending inquiry to us.
21. Jurisdiction and Texas Focus
The Truce Room is based in Texas, and many of our policies are drafted with Texas practice considerations in mind. Texas law recognizes mediation as an alternative dispute resolution process under Chapter 154 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and Texas courts have adopted Ethical Guidelines for Mediators. If your matter involves another state, tribe, federal issue, or foreign jurisdiction, different laws and procedures may apply.
