Terms
Last updated: 6 October 2026
States of Bliss is operated by States Of Bliss, a limited liability company registered in the State of Florida, United States. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean that company, and "you" means you.
By creating an account or using States of Bliss, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.
States of Bliss is a wellness app. You describe how you feel, and it builds you a session: a soundscape, a breathing practice, an affirmation and a short protocol to carry into your day. Each session is built by AI from what you write. Everyone gets three free quick sessions each week. Membership adds quick sessions whenever you need them and four journeys of 10, 20 or 30 minutes. Voice guidance is available in every session, on browsers that can play it.
It is not medical care. Please read the next section properly rather than skipping it. It is the most important part of this page.
States of Bliss does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Nothing in the app is a substitute for care from a doctor, therapist, psychiatrist or any other qualified professional. Nothing it tells you should be treated as a clinical opinion about you.
If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis line in your country. The app is not monitored by humans in real time. Nobody is watching your check-ins as you write them. If you are at risk, reach a person who can help you now.
Breathing practices carry real risks. Most of the practices in States of Bliss are gentle. Two of them, Breath of Fire and Wim Hof style breathing, deliberately speed your breathing up. These can cause light-headedness, tingling and, in some people, fainting.
Before using any breathing practice, and particularly those two, you should speak to a doctor if you are pregnant, or if you have epilepsy, a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, a panic disorder, or any other significant medical condition.
Never practise breathing exercises in or near water, or while driving or operating machinery. Sit or lie down. If a practice stops feeling right, stop.
You use these practices at your own risk, and you are responsible for deciding whether a practice is appropriate for you.
You must be 18 or over to use States of Bliss. By creating an account you confirm that you are.
You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for what happens under your account. Tell us at arian@statesofbliss.com if you believe someone else has access to it.
Give us accurate information when you sign up. If you use an email address you cannot access, we may not be able to help you recover your account.
You can delete your account at any time from inside the app. Deletion is permanent.
What is free. Three quick sessions each week, starting again every Monday at midnight in your own time zone, your garden and your progress over time, and one journey to try, once. If what you write at check-in suggests you may be in crisis, you still get your session and the support we show with it, even when your free sessions are used, and it does not count toward them. To keep the service running well for everyone, there is a fair-use limit, currently 30 sessions a day, counting quick sessions and journeys together.
What comes with membership. Quick sessions whenever you need them, within the fair-use limit, and the four journeys, Deep Reset, Morning Grounding, Afternoon Reset and Wind Down. A membership bought on our website or in the iPhone app works in both.
Prices. Membership is $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, in US dollars. In the iPhone app, the App Store shows the price in your own currency. Members who joined at an earlier price keep it for as long as their membership continues. If you are outside the United States your bank may convert this into your own currency, and the amount you see may differ slightly because of exchange rates and any fees your bank charges.
Free trial, starting and renewing. Your first membership starts with a 7-day free trial. We ask for a payment method when the trial starts, and nothing is charged during it. We remind you in the app 2 days before the trial ends, and on our website Stripe also emails you. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your first payment is taken then. Your membership then renews automatically at the price you chose, monthly or annually, until you cancel. We will email you before each annual renewal of a membership bought on our website.
Cancelling. If you joined on our website, you can cancel at any time on the Membership page, in the app. If you joined in the iPhone app, you cancel in your iPhone's Settings, through the App Store, as Apple manages that membership. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for: you keep access until then, and you are not charged again. You can change your mind at any time before then. If a payment has failed, cancelling ends your membership straight away and you will not be charged anything more.
Refunds. For a membership bought in the iPhone app, Apple handles payments and refunds, at reportaproblem.apple.com. For a membership bought on our website: changed your mind? Email us within 14 days of a payment, or of a yearly renewal, and we will refund it in full. After that, you can cancel any time and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. This does not affect your legal rights. Email arian@statesofbliss.com.
Price changes. If we ever change the price of membership, we will tell you before it affects you, and you will have the chance to cancel before any new price is charged. We will not raise the price of an existing membership without telling you first.
Founding members. Founding members are people who joined while founding membership was open. Your founding price will not go up for as long as that membership lasts. A failed payment does not end it if the payment is put right before your paid period runs out. When your membership ends, the founding price ends with it, and if you join again later you pay the price at that time.
Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your card details.
Use States of Bliss for your own personal wellbeing. Please do not:
If you do any of these, we may suspend or close your account.
What you write stays yours. Your check-ins, your ratings and everything you put into the app belong to you. You give us permission to use them only to run the service for you, as described in our Privacy Policy.
What we build for you is yours to use. The sessions the app creates for you are yours to use personally, for as long as you like. You may not resell them or pass them off as your own product.
The app itself is ours. The States of Bliss name, design, code, breathing library, soundscapes and everything else that makes up the service remain our property.
We will do our best to keep States of Bliss running and working well. We cannot promise it will always be available or always free of faults. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and if we withdraw something significant that you are paying for, we will tell you and refund you fairly.
You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time.
We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if we are required to by law, or if we stop offering the service. Unless you have broken these terms, we will refund any unused portion of a membership you have paid for.
No guarantees about outcomes. We believe in what we have built and we have grounded it in real evidence, but we cannot promise that States of Bliss will make you feel any particular way, or that it will help with any condition. It is offered as it is.
Limits on our liability. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the service. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US$100. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Some places give you rights these terms cannot remove. If you are a consumer in the UK or elsewhere with laws that give you rights beyond these terms, those rights still apply and nothing here takes them away.
Which law applies. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, and any dispute will be dealt with in the state or federal courts located in Florida, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim closer to home. If you live in the UK, you also keep the protections of the law where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
If we change these terms we will update the date at the top. Where a change materially affects you, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you do not agree with a change, you can cancel your membership and delete your account.
