Terms of Service

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Welcome to Everlight Stories. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What this site is

Everlight Stories publishes personal stories and experiences submitted by readers, along with related content. The site is provided for personal, non-commercial reading and sharing.

2. Story submissions

• By submitting a story, you confirm that it is your own account, told truthfully as you experienced and remember it, and that you have the right to share it.
• You keep ownership of your story. If you consent to publication, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display it on this site under the identity option you chose, with light editing for length, spelling, and clarity. We email you the version we'd publish before it goes live; you may withdraw permission at any time — including by replying to that email — and we will remove the story promptly.
• If you choose "keep it private for now," we hold your story unpublished until you tell us otherwise.
• Do not submit content that is defamatory, harassing, hateful, unlawful, or that identifies other private individuals in a harmful way. We may decline or remove any submission at our discretion.
• You must be at least 13 years old to submit a story.

3. Content on this site

Stories published here are personal accounts of subjective experiences. We do not verify, endorse, or make any claims about their objective accuracy. See our Disclaimer for more.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site — including attempting to disrupt it, submitting spam or automated content, scraping content in bulk, or using stories published here for commercial purposes without the author's and our permission.

5. Intellectual property

The site's design, name, and original text are © Everlight Stories. Individual stories remain the property of their authors and are published under license as described above.

6. No warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Everlight Stories and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of your use of the site or reliance on its content.

8. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. The date above reflects the latest revision.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the site's operator resides, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
