Terms of Service

Last updated February 17, 2026

This site is being rebuilt from the ground up, so a couple of sections below (payment methods, subscriptions) describe how the Services work in general rather than what this particular site supports today. Online payment isn't connected here yet; see /give for how giving currently works.

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are The Stormy Butterfly Foundation ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), a company registered in California, United States at 1875 S Bascom Ave, Suite 2400, Campbell, CA 95008.

We operate the website https://www.trustlinemobile.com (the "Site"), the mobile application TrustLine (the "App"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").

You can contact us by phone at (+1) 415-640-1084, email at info@stormybutterfly.org, or by mail to 1875 S Bascom Ave, Suite 2400, Campbell, CA 95008, United States.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and The Stormy Butterfly Foundation, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Legal Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and you must discontinue use immediately.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Legal Terms by your continued use of the Services after the date such revised Legal Terms are posted.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

We recommend that you print a copy of these Legal Terms for your records.

1. Our Services

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

2. Intellectual Property Rights

Our intellectual property

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in the Services (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks").

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws (and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws) and treaties in the United States and around the world.

The Content and Marks are provided in or through the Services "AS IS" for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Your use of our Services

Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, including the "Prohibited Activities" section below, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Services, and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have properly gained access, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

Except as set out in this section or elsewhere in our Legal Terms, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.

If you wish to make any use of the Services, Content, or Marks other than as set out in this section or elsewhere in our Legal Terms, please address your request to: info@stormybutterfly.org. If we ever grant you the permission to post, reproduce, or publicly display any part of our Services or Content, you must identify us as the owners or licensors of the Services, Content, or Marks and ensure that any copyright or proprietary notice appears or is visible on posting, reproducing, or displaying our Content.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Services, Content, and Marks.

Any breach of these Intellectual Property Rights will constitute a material breach of our Legal Terms and your right to use our Services will terminate immediately.

We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.

You consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as you cancel the applicable order. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription plan you choose when you subscribed to the Services.

11. Guidelines for Reviews

We may provide you areas on the Services to leave reviews or ratings.

By posting a review, you grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, assignable, and sublicensable right and license to reproduce, modify, translate, transmit, display, perform, and/or distribute all content relating to the review.

14. Privacy Policy

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms. Please be advised the Services are hosted in the United States. If you access the Services from any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in the United States, then through your continued use of the Services, you are transferring your data to the United States, and you expressly consent to have your data transferred to and processed in the United States.

15. SMS Messaging Terms

Program name

The TrustLine Conservator-Controlled Conversational Messaging Program.

Program description

TrustLine is a conservator-controlled communication service operated by The Stormy Butterfly Foundation. TrustLine allows protected persons to exchange conversational SMS messages with conservator-approved contacts.

A protected person may be assigned a TrustLine phone number for voice and SMS communication. SMS messages sent through TrustLine are user-generated, conversational messages. TrustLine does not allow protected persons to send SMS messages to arbitrary recipients. Outbound SMS is only enabled when both of the following are true: (1) the recipient has been approved by the protected person's conservator; and (2) the recipient has opted in to receive SMS messages through TrustLine.

Messages may include conversational updates, coordination messages, check-ins, scheduling messages, appointment-related messages, pickup or arrival messages, and other free-form user-generated communications from conservator-approved contacts. Messages may come from phone numbers assigned by TrustLine to conservator-approved contacts.

Opt-in

Recipients may opt in to receive TrustLine SMS messages by either texting START plus a unique opt-in code to a TrustLine opt-in number, or completing a TrustLine web consent page, verifying their mobile number, and affirmatively agreeing to receive SMS messages. By opting in, you agree to receive conversational SMS messages through TrustLine from conservator-approved contacts. Consent to receive SMS messages is optional and may be revoked at any time.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies based on use of the Services and the number of conservator-approved conversations. Because TrustLine messages are user-generated conversational messages, the number of messages you receive may vary.

Message and data rates

Message and data rates may apply. TrustLine does not charge recipients for SMS messages, but your wireless carrier may charge fees for sending or receiving text messages depending on your mobile service plan.

Opt-out instructions

You may opt out of TrustLine SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any TrustLine SMS message. After you send STOP, TrustLine may send one confirmation message stating that you have been opted out. After that, TrustLine will block future outbound SMS messages to your number for the applicable TrustLine messaging program unless you opt back in.

Help instructions

For help, reply HELP to any TrustLine SMS message. You may also contact TrustLine support by email at info@stormybutterfly.org or by phone at (+1) 415-640-1084.

Carrier disclaimer

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Relationship to these Legal Terms

These SMS Messaging Terms are part of these Legal Terms. By opting in to receive TrustLine SMS messages, you agree to these SMS Messaging Terms and the rest of these Legal Terms.

16. Term and Termination

These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to and use of the Services to any person for any reason or for no reason, including for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in these Legal Terms or of any applicable law or regulation. We may terminate your use or participation in the Services or delete your account and any content or information that you posted at any time, without warning, in our sole discretion.

If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. We reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.

17. Modifications and Interruptions

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice, and have no obligation to update any information on our Services. We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times and will not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime or discontinuance of the Services.

18. Governing Law

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

19. Dispute Resolution

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), and where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Arbitration will take place in Santa Clara, California, unless otherwise required by applicable AAA rules or law. Any arbitration is limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually; no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding, brought on a class-action basis, or in a representative capacity. Disputes seeking to enforce or protect intellectual property rights, disputes related to theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use, and claims for injunctive relief are excluded from binding arbitration. No Dispute may be brought more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose.

20. Corrections

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

21. Disclaimer

The Services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the Services, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of the Services' content and assume no liability for errors, personal injury or property damage, unauthorized access to our servers, interruption of transmission, bugs or viruses, or any content posted, transmitted, or made available via the Services.

22. Limitations of Liability

In no event will we or our directors, employees, or agents be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our liability to you for any cause whatsoever will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to us during the twelve (12) month period prior to any cause of action arising. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusion of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

23. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of your use of the Services, breach of these Legal Terms, breach of your representations and warranties, your violation of the rights of a third party, or any overt harmful act toward another user of the Services.

24. User Data

We will maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. Although we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken using the Services. We have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of any such data.

25. Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. You agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions initiated or completed by us or via the Services.

26. California Users and Residents

27. Miscellaneous

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services.
