Terms of Service

This page is maintained by Yvette Dubel to describe the terms of using the Success Buffet Pyramid™ app.

By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the App.

1. The App

The Success Buffet Pyramid™ App provides an interactive coaching experience, reflection prompts, planning tools, and related content for personal and professional development.

The App’s AI coaching experience is trained and configured using the Success Buffet Pyramid™ Playbook and related frameworks developed through Yvette Dubel’s two decades of research and development in personal innovation, systems thinking, leadership, reflection, planning, and sustainable growth.

Features, content, availability, pricing, and functionality may change from time to time. We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue the App or any feature with or without notice.

We do not guarantee that the App will always be available or that any particular feature or content will remain available. You are responsible for determining whether the App is appropriate for your needs and for maintaining copies of information you submit or create through the App that you wish to preserve.

2. Eligibility and account responsibility

You are responsible for providing accurate information and maintaining the confidentiality of your sign-in credentials.

You are responsible for all activity occurring through your account, whether or not you personally authorized that activity. You agree to notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

You may not share, sell, transfer, or provide access to your account to another person unless we expressly authorize it in writing.

3. Personal and professional development only

The App is intended for personal and professional development, reflection, planning, and educational purposes. Its coaching experience is based on the Success Buffet Pyramid™ Playbook and related frameworks developed through Yvette Dubel’s two decades of research and development.

The App is not intended to provide individualized professional advice or guarantee any particular result. It is not a substitute for:

  • Medical care or medical advice
  • Mental-health counseling or psychotherapy
  • Crisis intervention
  • Legal advice
  • Financial, investment, tax, or accounting advice
  • Human-resources or employment advice
  • Business, career, or other professional advice

You are responsible for deciding whether to consult a qualified professional before acting on anything presented through the App.

If you are experiencing an emergency, mental-health crisis, or immediate safety concern, do not rely on the App. Contact emergency services or an appropriately qualified professional.

4. AI coaching content

The App provides an AI-supported coaching experience trained and configured using the Success Buffet Pyramid™ Playbook and related frameworks developed through Yvette Dubel’s two decades of research and development.

The AI coach may provide prompts, questions, summaries, reflections, suggestions, planning guidance, or other coaching-related content based on those materials and frameworks. It may also use information you provide through workbook activities and coaching conversations to generate responses relevant to your stated goals and reflections.

AI-generated content may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, inappropriate, or unsuitable for your circumstances. It may not reflect the full context of your situation and should not be treated as a statement of fact, professional recommendation, or guaranteed result.

The App’s use of the Success Buffet Pyramid™ Playbook and related frameworks does not mean that the AI coach has independent professional judgment or that its responses have been reviewed by a licensed medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other professional.

You are solely responsible for:

  • Reviewing and evaluating AI-generated content
  • Deciding whether to rely on or act on that content
  • Obtaining professional advice when appropriate
  • Checking important information independently
  • The consequences of decisions you make based on your use of the App

Your use of AI coaching content does not create a therapeutic, fiduciary, medical, legal, financial, employment, or other professional relationship between you and the Owner.

5. User responsibility and assumption of risk

You understand and agree that your use of the App is voluntary and at your own risk.

You accept responsibility for evaluating whether the App, its content, and any AI-generated guidance are appropriate for your circumstances.

You are solely responsible for your decisions, actions, goals, plans, interpretations, and outcomes resulting from your use of the App.

You acknowledge that reflection, planning, and personal-development work may bring up difficult thoughts, emotions, memories, or questions. You accept responsibility for choosing whether, when, and how to engage with the App and for seeking appropriate support when needed.

6. No guarantees

We do not guarantee that the App or its content will:

  • Produce a particular personal, professional, financial, emotional, or business result
  • Help you achieve a specific goal
  • Be uninterrupted, secure, accurate, complete, or error-free
  • Meet your expectations or particular needs
  • Preserve every feature or piece of content
  • Be available at all times or in all locations
  • Be compatible with every device, browser, operating system, or third-party service

Testimonials and descriptions of potential benefits reflect individual experiences. They are illustrative only and are not promises or guarantees of results.
