Find Angel

Terms of Use

EMERGENCY DISCLAIMER: FIND ANGEL IS NOT A CRISIS SERVICE, HOTLINE, OR SUICIDE-PREVENTION SERVICE. OUR WEBSITE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING OUR AI LISTENING COMPANION ("ANGEL"), ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR EMERGENCIES AND CANNOT PROVIDE CRISIS INTERVENTION. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS OR ANY EMERGENCY, IN THE US, CALL OR TEXT 988 (SUICIDE & CRISIS LIFELINE) OR DIAL 911; IN THE UK, CALL SAMARITANS ON 116 123 OR DIAL 999; ELSEWHERE, DIAL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NUMBER; OR GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM (A&E IN THE UK). OUR SERVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.

In plain words (this summary is for convenience and is not part of the Terms): we share practical, real-world experience — free, general information, not professional advice and not a crisis service. Angel is AI, not a person, and not therapy. In a crisis, call or text 988 in the US, or call Samaritans on 116 123 in the UK. If anyone is in danger now, call 911 in the US or 999 in the UK. We don't have accounts and we designed the site not to collect your personal information. Use what you find here with your own judgment, and talk to a professional about your specific situation.

What changed (this note is not part of the Terms). October 2026: we now give UK as well as US crisis numbers; describe our tips, answers and guides as general information; say who the site is written for (people in the US and the UK); make plain that nothing in these Terms excludes liability that the law that applies to you does not allow us to exclude, and that consumer rights that cannot be signed away still apply (section 16); changed section 6 from "do not use" to "do not rely on" our services in an emergency; listed two more of our domains (section 1); added that AI companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors (section 17); narrowed the feedback license to the ideas and corrections you send; replaced the copyright-notice section with a plain contact; reworded the accessibility section; and corrected several descriptions so they match the site today. August 2026: we removed wording describing our review process.

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the websites and services of Find Angel Inc. ("FindAngel," "we," "us"), a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITES OR SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE OUR WEBSITES OR SERVICES. Angel's welcome screen links to these Terms before your first message; continuing to chat after that notice constitutes your acceptance of these Terms.

These Terms apply to all websites owned or operated by Find Angel Inc., including findangel.org, findangel.com, findangel.net, findangel.us, findangel.ai, findangel.co, findangel.info, findangel.io, findangels.org, findangels.net, findangels.us, findangle.org, fineangel.org, guard.life, and related versions on other domains.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Who we are — and what we are not

Find Angel Inc. is a volunteer-run nonprofit. What we do is simple: we collect and share practical, real-world experience — what many ordinary people tried for everyday problems like money stress, home life, habits, and feeling stuck — as articles and a searchable library. We also publish emergency guides: general information about what to do first, which deadlines may have started, and who to call after something has gone wrong. They are not an emergency service: if anyone is in danger, call 911 (US) or 999 (UK) first. We also maintain an information-and-referral directory that points to real-world help, we offer Angel, an AI listening companion, and we provide simple self-guided exercises. Some of our volunteers also serve on crisis lines; that experience shapes how we write and how much we care — it does not make this website a crisis service.

What we are not:

When someone needs a human, professional help, or crisis support, our role is to point the way — never to provide it: to crisis lines such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US) and Samaritans (UK), to emergency services, and to the organizations in our directory.

3. Nature of the information we provide

ALL CONTENT ON OUR WEBSITES IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. OUR SERVICES ARE NOT, AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE, A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HEALTH CARE, MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, PSYCHIATRIC CARE, THERAPY, MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT OF ANY KIND — NOR FOR LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITES OR SERVICES DOES NOT CREATE A THERAPIST–PATIENT, DOCTOR–PATIENT, ATTORNEY–CLIENT, OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL OR CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP.

Never disregard professional advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read or heard through our services. Do not use our content to diagnose or treat any condition. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 in the US, 999 in the UK, or your local emergency number immediately.

Our tips, answers and guides are generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Many draw on publicly shared, real-world experiences: what other people say they tried and found helpful. Some also draw on official sources, such as government and health-service websites. All of it is general information, not professional advice, including the cautions on our pages. It may contain errors, may be incomplete or out of date, and may not fit your circumstances.

4. Angel — our AI listening companion

Angel is an automated artificial-intelligence program made for everyday weights — a hard day, money stress, feeling stuck or alone. Angel is not a human, and we design Angel to tell you so. Angel is not a crisis service. Angel is a listening companion; it is not a counselor or therapist, does not provide therapy, counseling, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not overseen by a licensed clinician during your conversation.

Angel has limitations. Among other things, Angel:

Conversations with Angel are not legally privileged or confidential in the sense that conversations with a licensed professional can be. We have designed Angel so that we do not store or read your conversations, or use them for anything except producing Angel's reply (see our Privacy Policy); even so, you should avoid sharing information that identifies you or others.

We maintain a safety protocol under which Angel is designed to respond to expressions of suicidal thoughts or self-harm by urging the person to reach real human help now, including emergency services (911 in the US, 999 in the UK), the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the US and Samaritans (116 123) in the UK. A plain-language description of this protocol is published at /about/angel.

You agree to use Angel in good faith, not to rely on it for decisions affecting your health, safety, finances, or legal matters, and not to attempt to manipulate it into producing harmful content. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER FIND ANGEL INC. NOR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, OR AGENTS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OUTCOMES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

5. Self-guided exercises

Pages like our breathing and grounding exercises are simple, self-guided calming tools of the kind found in general-wellness apps. They are provided for educational and self-reflection purposes only; they are not treatment, therapy, or diagnostic instruments, and they are not monitored by anyone. If an exercise feels wrong for you — for example because of a breathing or heart condition — stop, go at your own pace, and follow the guidance of your own health professionals.

6. Emergencies — what our services cannot do

Our services cannot provide immediate intervention or crisis support. An emergency includes, without limitation: thoughts of harming yourself or others; severe emotional distress; feeling out of control or disconnected from reality; severe panic; acute reactions to trauma; severe symptoms of depression, psychosis, mania, substance withdrawal, or an eating disorder; or any life-threatening situation.

If any of these apply, do not rely on our services for help. Instead: in the US, call or text 988 or call 911; in the UK, call Samaritans on 116 123 or call 999; elsewhere, call your local emergency number. You can also go to the nearest emergency room (A&E in the UK), contact your mental-health provider or their emergency line, or reach out to a trusted person near you.

By using our services, you agree to seek appropriate professional or emergency care when needed and not to rely on our services for crisis intervention.

7. Risks of relying on general information

Relying solely on general informational resources like ours carries risks, including: delayed access to professional care; misapplication of general information to your specific situation; a false sense of improvement while underlying issues remain unaddressed; and missed opportunities for early professional intervention. We strongly encourage anyone experiencing mental-health symptoms — even mild ones — to consult a qualified professional. Our services are a complement to, never a replacement for, professional care.

8. Assumption of risk

You assume all risk arising from your use of our websites and services, including any decisions you make or actions you take (or do not take) based on information obtained through them. Find Angel Inc. and its volunteers, employees, and agents are not responsible for such decisions or their outcomes, including decisions to seek or not seek professional care or to modify or discontinue treatment.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use our services for any unlawful purpose; attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems; interfere with, disable, or overburden our websites or the systems serving them; scrape or harvest content or data at scale or in violation of these Terms; misrepresent an affiliation with FindAngel or impersonate our services; use our services to generate or spread content that encourages self-harm, harms others, or promotes dangerous practices; or resell or commercially exploit our services.

10. Feedback and submissions

We do not host user accounts or public posting. If you send us feedback, suggestions, or corrections (for example by emailing us), you grant Find Angel Inc. a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use the ideas and corrections they contain to operate and improve our services, without obligation or compensation, and you represent that you have the right to share what you send. Your message itself is handled as our Privacy Policy describes.

11. Intellectual property

The content, design, software, and other materials on our websites are owned by Find Angel Inc., used under license (including public-sector information under the Open Government Licence), or quoted as the law allows, and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws to the fullest extent permitted.

We want this help to travel. You may view, share, link to, and print our pages for personal, non-commercial use — that's what the share and print buttons are for. Any other reproduction, distribution, or creation of derivative works of material we own requires our prior written permission. You may not present our content within a frame or in a way that misrepresents its source. The FindAngel name and logo may not be used — including in ways that suggest affiliation or endorsement, or to imitate our websites or services — without our written permission.

12. Third-party resources, links, and embedded content

Our resource directory is an information-and-referral aid: it lists real-world organizations, what they say they do, and the date we last checked the entry. The organizations listed are independent of Find Angel Inc.; we do not operate, control, or endorse them, and we cannot accept responsibility for any services they provide or fail to provide. Hours, phone numbers, eligibility, and services change without notice — verify before you rely on or travel to any listed resource.

More generally, our websites link to third-party websites and services and may embed videos hosted on third-party platforms. We do not guarantee third parties' accuracy, availability, safety, or suitability. Your use of third-party websites and services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITES AND SERVICES, INCLUDING ANGEL, IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. OUR WEBSITES, SERVICES, AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT OUR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER THE LAW THAT APPLIES TO YOU — INCLUDING, WHERE THAT LAW SO PROVIDES, LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, OR FOR FRAUD. SUBJECT TO THAT, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FIND ANGEL INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "FIND ANGEL ENTITIES") WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH, LOSS, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND — INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, OR INCREASED COSTS — RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, RELIANCE ON, OR INABILITY TO USE OUR WEBSITES, SERVICES, OR CONTENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE FIND ANGEL ENTITIES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANGEL AND OUR INFORMATIONAL SERVICES, INCLUDING: DECISIONS MADE BASED ON INTERACTIONS WITH ANGEL OR OUR CONTENT; EMOTIONAL DISTRESS OR WORSENING OF ANY CONDITION; INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OR INAPPROPRIATE INFORMATION OR RESPONSES; MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR MISCOMMUNICATION; SERVICE UNAVAILABILITY OR DELAY; FAILURE TO IDENTIFY OR REPORT POTENTIAL HARM; RELAPSE OR RECURRENCE OF ANY CONDITION; ANY FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE (OUR SERVICES DO NOT DIAGNOSE); OUTCOMES OF FOLLOWING GENERAL INFORMATION; ACTIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES WE LINK TO; AND FINANCIAL LOSSES FROM DECISIONS BASED ON OUR CONTENT.

WHERE THE LAW THAT APPLIES TO YOU DOES NOT ALLOW ONE OF THESE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS, THAT EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THAT LAW PERMITS. SUBJECT TO THE SAME LAW, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH OUR SERVICES IS TO STOP USING THEM. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND FIND ANGEL INC., AND THAT WE COULD NOT PROVIDE FREE SERVICES WITHOUT THEM.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Find Angel Entities from and against all claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your breach of these Terms or applicable law; your violation of any rights of another; your decisions, actions, or inactions based on information obtained through our services; and your misuse of our services, including use of Angel for emergencies or as a substitute for professional care. This obligation survives termination of these Terms. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

16. Disputes and governing law

Talk to us first. Many concerns can be resolved informally — write to admin@findangel.org, and you agree to give us sixty (60) days to try to resolve any dispute informally before filing a claim.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under or relating to these Terms or our services will be litigated exclusively in the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it arises or be forever barred; this period is paused (tolled) during the sixty-day informal-resolution window above. Nothing in this section limits either party's right to seek equitable relief to protect intellectual-property rights. Nothing in this section takes away any right you have under consumer-protection law that applies to you and cannot be excluded by agreement — including, if you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, any right that law gives you to bring a claim in your local courts; where that law does not allow the one-year period above, that period does not apply to you. Our services are written for people in the United States and the United Kingdom, and anyone may read them. Rules differ by country and by place: wherever you are, check the rules that apply where you live, and you are responsible for complying with your local laws.

17. Children and age

Our websites provide general informational content for a general audience. We operate no accounts and no profiles, and we do not ask anyone — including children — for personal information; the little we can receive (such as a message you choose to email us) is described in our Privacy Policy. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Find Angel Inc. is generally not subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act; our services are nevertheless not directed to children under 13.

Angel and our chat features are intended for ages 13 and up. By chatting with Angel, you confirm that you are 13 or older. AI companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors; a parent or trusted adult can help a young person decide. If you are under 13, please don't use the chat — and please know that help is there for you too: in the US, call or text 988; in the UK, call Childline on 0800 1111. A trusted adult can help you reach them, and our support page lists more.

18. Termination; general terms

We may block or terminate access to our services at any time, for any reason, including to protect our services or their users. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 8 and 13–16) survive termination.

We will not be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war or civil unrest, labor disruptions, utility or telecommunications failures, epidemics, changes in law, or cyberattacks.

If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Find Angel Inc. regarding our services. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with our operations. Headings are for convenience only. In case of conflict regarding data practices, the Privacy Policy prevails.

19. Copyright concerns

We do not host material uploaded by visitors. If you believe something on our websites infringes your copyright, write to admin@findangel.org with the page address, the work you say it copies, and a way to reach you.

20. Accessibility

We work to meet the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standard, and holding that bar matters to us — the people we most want to reach are often the people the web serves worst. If you encounter a barrier, please tell us at info@findangel.org so we can try to fix it or get you the content another way.
