Terms of Service
Effective June 2026 · Selah Now LLC · selahnow.love
1. What Selah Now Is
Selah Now is an AI reasoning tool operated by Selah Now LLC, a California limited liability company. It draws on twelve wisdom traditions across six continents to help you think through hard questions. It is not a chatbot designed to simulate a human relationship. It is not a therapist, counselor, psychologist, or licensed mental health professional. It is not a medical provider, legal advisor, or spiritual director. Every decision that emerges from a conversation belongs to you — Selah Now clarifies terrain; it does not decide for you.
2. Who May Use Selah Now
Selah Now is designed for adults 18 years of age and older. By providing your email address and checking the age confirmation box, you represent that you are 18 or older. If you are under 18, you may not use this service. Use of Selah Now is permitted only for personal, non-commercial purposes unless you have entered into a separate commercial licensing agreement with Selah Now LLC.
3. AI Disclosure
You are interacting with an artificial intelligence system, not a human. Selah Now's responses are generated by a large language model (Claude, provided by Anthropic, Inc.) operating under a proprietary four-layer reasoning architecture developed by Selah Now LLC. Responses are automated outputs — they are not reviewed by a human before delivery. Selah Now LLC is not responsible for any action you take based on a response generated by this system.
4. Limitation of Liability
Selah Now is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Selah Now LLC expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Selah Now LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising out of or relating to your use of Selah Now — including any action you take or fail to take based on a response generated by the service.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraudulent misrepresentation.
5. Not a Crisis Service
Selah Now is not a crisis service. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact a trained human immediately. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988. Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741. Selah Now's crisis routing is immutable and cannot be disabled by any operator or configuration.
6. Your Content
The questions you ask are yours. Selah Now LLC does not claim ownership of your questions. Your questions are processed in real time and are not stored in a database linked to your identity. Your conversation transcript is emailed to you and is not retained by Selah Now LLC after delivery.

What Happens, and What We Never Publish
A crisis reaches the floor before any answer reaches you. What you get instead is one sentence and a number that can help you tonight.
It sends one to three resources matched to what you are actually carrying — never a wall of every hotline at once. Fourteen situations, each with a line staffed by people trained for that specific thing.
We publish where it sends you. We do not publish what it listens for. A protocol whose triggers are published can be steered around, and the people most motivated to steer around it are the people it exists to catch.
It runs on every conversation, for every person, every time
No licensee, operator, contract or configuration can switch it off
It routes to people, never to more of this system
It is published, versioned, and prior versions stay published
This crisis routing protocol is immutable. It cannot be disabled, overridden, or altered by any licensing operator, business arrangement, or configuration. It is built into the architecture as a non-negotiable safeguard — not a feature that can be toggled off. Any organization licensing Selah Now receives this protocol intact and unchanged as a condition of that license.
This Protocol Does Not Replace Professional Help
Selah Now is a reasoning and clarifying resource for reflection and discernment. It is not a therapist, counselor, or clinical service. For ongoing mental health support, please connect with a licensed professional in your area.
Selah Now draws on twelve wisdom traditions across six continents — every tradition cited by name, never averaged, never genericized. A four-layer reasoning architecture. One private conversation, just for you.
Ask in any language. Selah Now responds in kind. Not a therapist, not a spiritual teacher, not a chatbot — a witness and a clarifier.
Your free conversation renews every day. Transcript emailed on completion. Never shared.

Your full transcript has been sent to your email. Five exchanges, then it ends. Not because you ran out. Because an answer you carry out of the room is worth more than a conversation that never lets you leave.
Four laws now govern conversational AI in the United States and Europe. Selah Now was built to satisfy all four before any of them required it.
California SB 243
In effect 1 January 2026
Requires disclosure that the system is not human, a protocol preventing suicide and self-harm content, and publication of that protocol on the operator's website. Ours is published in full.
New York GBL Article 47
In effect 5 November 2025
Governs systems that retain prior sessions to personalize engagement. Selah Now retains nothing. No memory, no profile, no mechanism designed to bring you back.
Utah HB 452
In effect 7 May 2025
Bars advertising inside a mental health chatbot, bars ad targeting from what you type, bars selling identifiable input. Selah Now carries no advertising of any kind.
EU AI Act, Article 50
Applies from 2 August 2026
Requires people be told they are interacting with an AI, and that generated content be machine-readable as such. Every email Selah Now sends carries both a plain-English disclosure and a machine-readable marker.
Every one of these is verifiable. None of it is a promise about the future.See the work →
