These terms govern your use of thearchitectofreality.com and everything sold through it: the eight Protocols, the 21-Day Protocol Guide, the book, and The Architecture of Reality app. By buying or using any of it, you agree to what is written here. If you do not agree, do not buy and do not use the site.
1. Who we are
The Architect of Reality is operated by Mateus Silveira Soares dos Santos, based in Portugal. Contact: solucoesemengenhariams@gmail.com. Payments and delivery are handled by Hotmart on our behalf; Hotmart’s own Terms of Use and Policies apply to the transaction alongside these terms.
2. Who can buy
You must be 18 or older to buy anything here or to create an account in the app. These products are not designed or intended for children, and we do not knowingly sell to anyone under 18.
3. What you get when you buy
You are buying a license to use the material, not ownership of it. That license is personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and for your own use.
You may read the files, print them for yourself, fill them in by hand or on screen, keep your own copies and your own backups, and use what you learn in your own life and your own work, for as long as you like.
You may not resell, sublicense, rent or give away the files; upload them anywhere others can download them; share your app account with other people; reproduce the material in a product, course or program of your own; or remove the authorship from it. If you want to use the material with clients, in a team or in a classroom, write to us and we will sort out a license that fits.
4. Intellectual property
The texts, protocols, method, name, logo, and the design of the site and the app are ours and stay ours. Nothing you buy transfers any of that to you. What you write inside the app is a different matter and is covered in section 6.
5. The app subscription
The Architecture of Reality app is sold as a subscription that renews automatically until you cancel: $9.99 charged monthly, or $79 charged yearly. You can cancel at any time from your Hotmart purchases area, without giving a reason and without speaking to anyone. Cancelling stops the next charge and you keep access until the period you already paid for ends.
Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy: 15 days for the app, 7 days for the PDF products and the book.
The app is delivered as it is, over the internet. We work to keep it available, but we do not promise uninterrupted service, and we may take it down for maintenance or change how features work. If we ever discontinue the app entirely, we will give you reasonable notice and time to export everything you wrote.
6. What you write stays yours
Everything you enter in the app — your protocols, your commitment, your mantras, your journal — belongs to you. We do not claim any ownership of it, we do not read it, we do not sell it and we do not use it to train anything. The export button, which produces .json, .csv and .txt, works at all times, including after you cancel. How we handle that data is set out in our Privacy Policy.
7. This is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice
Read this part properly. The Protocols, the book and the app are self-help and educational material. They are not health care. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical or psychological condition, and they are not a substitute for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, medication or any other professional treatment. Nothing here is legal or financial advice either.
They are not designed for moments of crisis. If you are in distress or having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which answers free, 24 hours a day, anywhere in the United States. In an emergency, call 911.
If you are in treatment, talk to your clinician before adding this work to it. Use your own judgment about what you are ready to write about, and stop if the work is making things worse for you.
8. No promised results
We do not promise any particular outcome. The material describes a method and explains the reasoning behind it; what comes of it depends on you, on your circumstances and on whether you actually do the work. Anything we say about how the method works is a description, not a guarantee, and we make no income, health or performance claims of any kind.
9. Using the site properly
Do not attempt to break into the site or the app, interfere with them, scrape them at scale, or use them to do anything unlawful or to harm someone else. We may suspend access that is being used this way.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
Except for what we promise explicitly in these terms and in the Refund Policy, the site, the products and the app are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or lost opportunity, arising out of your use of the site, the products or the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to a product is limited to the amount you actually paid us for that product in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for fraud, for willful misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, where the seller is established. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection given to you by the mandatory consumer protection laws of the state where you live, and it does not stop you from bringing a claim in the courts available to you there.
There is no arbitration clause here and no class action waiver. If something goes wrong, write to solucoesemengenhariams@gmail.com first — almost everything gets solved that way.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version that applies to a purchase is the version published on this site at the moment you bought. For a running subscription, we will give you notice before any change that materially affects you takes effect, and you can cancel if you do not accept it.
