Terms of Service

Last updated: July 15, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Nightstand (“we”, “us”) about your use of the Nightstand website and service. By using Nightstand, you agree to them. We’ve tried to keep them short and in plain language.

1. What Nightstand is — and isn’t

Nightstand is a dream journal. You write down dreams; Nightstand gives you a short written reading of each one, a painting of the scene, and a weekly reflection across your recent dreams.

Nightstand is for entertainment purposes only. Its readings are automatically generated interpretations, not statements of fact. They are not medical, psychological, psychiatric, or therapeutic advice, and they are not a diagnosis of anything. Nightstand is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If you are struggling, please talk to someone qualified to help.

2. Your account

You need an account to keep a journal. Keep your password to yourself; you’re responsible for activity that happens under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and subscribe.

3. Membership and billing

Nightstand membership costs $3.99 per month and renews automatically each month until you cancel. Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our payment provider and merchant of record — we never see or store your card details. You can cancel anytime from “Manage membership” in your journal; you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for. If something went wrong with a charge, contact us at [contact email] and we’ll sort it out.

4. Your dreams stay yours

You own what you write. By using Nightstand you give us permission to store your dreams and to process them for one purpose: producing your readings, paintings, and weekly reflections. That’s the whole license. We do not sell your writing, share it, publish it, or use it to train anything. The paintings generated for your dreams are yours to keep and use; we claim no rights over them.

5. Acceptable use

Don’t use Nightstand to do anything illegal, to harass or harm anyone, or to probe, overload, or interfere with the service. The try-it box on the landing page and dream submissions are rate-limited; don’t attempt to evade those limits or access other people’s journals.

6. About the readings and paintings

Readings and paintings are generated automatically. They can be inaccurate, strange, incomplete, or occasionally fail to generate at all. We make no promises about their accuracy, insight, or usefulness — that’s inherent to what this is, and part of why Nightstand is entertainment.

7. Disclaimers and limits on liability

Nightstand is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

8. Ending things

You can delete your account at any time from your journal; that permanently removes your dreams, readings, and paintings (see the Privacy Policy for details) and cancels your subscription. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these terms. If we ever discontinue Nightstand, we’ll make reasonable efforts to give you 30 days’ notice so you can save what you’ve written.

9. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll note the new date at the top and, for significant changes, let you know by email or in the app. Continuing to use Nightstand after a change means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], without regard to conflict of law principles.
