Terms
Last updated 8 September 2026
These terms apply to your use of theslowcup.com (the "website"), published by Embrace Changes Company, trading as The Slow Cup. ("The Slow Cup", "we", "us"). By using the website you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
The Slow Cup is an independent editorial publication about slowing down, reflection, simple rituals, breathing and tea. It is currently free to read. There is no shop, membership or paid subscription. If we introduce any of these in future, separate terms will apply and will be presented to you at that time.
Everything on The Slow Cup — essays, practices, breathing exercises, reflective questions and newsletters — is offered for general information, reflection and enjoyment only. It is not medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, legal, financial or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for it.
If you have, or think you may have, a physical or mental health condition, please consult a qualified professional before following any practice described here. Stop any breathing or movement practice that causes discomfort. If you are in crisis or at risk, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line immediately. You use the content at your own discretion and risk.
Unless stated otherwise, all original content on the website — including writing, photography, illustrations, the design, the name "The Slow Cup" and associated branding — is owned by or licensed to The Slow Cup and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You may read, print and share links to our content for personal, non-commercial use. You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link back. You may not reproduce, republish, scrape, sell, adapt or redistribute substantial parts of the content, or use it to train automated systems, without our prior written permission.
You agree not to:
Subscribing to The Slow Cup Letter is free and optional. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email. Our handling of your email address is described in the Privacy Policy.
The website may link to other websites and services (for example, social media). We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement.
We aim to keep the website available and accurate, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or up to date. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website at any time without notice. We may also update these terms; the date at the top shows when they were last revised, and continued use after a change means you accept it.
The website and its content are provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties and are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the website or its content, including indirect or consequential loss.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
These terms are governed by the laws of The Netherlands, and the courts of that jurisdiction have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the UK or the EU, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of the country where you live, and may bring proceedings there.
