Terms of Use
Effective date: To be updated upon publication
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of DeathDoula.org (the "Site"), operated by Blueprint Vision Ventures, Inc. ("BVV," "we," "us," or "our"), a privately operated, for-profit business.
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Purpose of DeathDoula.org
DeathDoula.org is an educational and professional directory platform being developed to help people, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community organizations learn about end-of-life and death doula support and discover independent professionals and related services.
The public professional directory is planned to open in April 2027.
Before the public directory opens, professionals, businesses, and education providers may be offered opportunities to purchase prelaunch listings, establish private profiles, and submit information for administrative review.
Some features described on the Site may remain under development or unavailable. BVV may modify planned features, availability, and launch schedules.
DeathDoula.org is a commercial initiative of Blueprint Vision Ventures, Inc. It is not a nonprofit organization or charitable service.
2. General Information and Educational Content
Information provided through DeathDoula.org is for general educational and informational purposes.
The Site does not provide medical, nursing, hospice, mental-health, legal, financial, funeral, spiritual, or emergency advice or care.
Information on the Site is not a substitute for advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
If you are experiencing an emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency service.
3. Independent Professionals and Organizations
DeathDoula.org may feature independent end-of-life doulas, death doulas, funeral and memorial service providers, educators, businesses, organizations, and other professionals.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, these participants operate independently of BVV.
BVV does not employ, supervise, direct, or control independent professionals merely because they participate in or appear on the Site.
Each professional or organization is responsible for its own services, qualifications, training, credentials, licensing or registration requirements, insurance, fees, availability, communications, agreements, and compliance with applicable laws.
A listing on DeathDoula.org does not constitute certification, licensure, independent credential verification, endorsement, recommendation, or a guarantee by BVV.
Professional qualifications and compliance information may be self-reported. Unless explicitly identified otherwise, BVV does not independently verify submitted credentials or supporting documents.
This applies to all listing categories. DeathDoula.org does not independently verify:
- The identity or legal existence of listed businesses or organizations.
- Business registrations, licenses, or insurance.
- Professional credentials, qualifications, training, or certifications.
- The legitimacy, operations, or business practices of service providers.
- The accuracy of representations made by education providers.
Listing information is supplied by purchasers or their authorized representatives and may include self-reported claims. BVV does not routinely collect or store supporting credential, licensing, insurance, or business registration documents.
Visitors are encouraged to ask professionals directly about their qualifications, experience, services, and suitability, and to independently evaluate professionals, businesses, and education providers before engaging their services.
4. Prelaunch Listings and Paid Registration
DeathDoula.org may offer paid prelaunch registration for the following categories:
- Professional Listing
- Professional Connect
- Funeral, Memorial & Other End-of-Life Services
- End-of-Life Doula and Death Education
Prices, included features, subscription or renewal terms, registration standards, and applicable purchase conditions will be presented through the relevant listing pages, checkout process, and Listing Terms.
A purchase provides only the rights and benefits expressly described in the applicable offer and agreement.
Purchasing a listing does not guarantee publication before the announced public launch, a particular search position, visibility, referrals, inquiries, clients, revenue, business opportunities, or professional relationships.
A paid listing is not a professional credential, certification, or endorsement.
5. Purchaser Accounts and Private Profiles
Purchasers may be provided with secure, email-based access to complete and manage their private listing profiles.
Purchasers are responsible for maintaining access to their registered email address and protecting authentication links and account sessions.
Account access is intended for the authorized purchaser. Users may not access another purchaser's information or attempt to bypass account security.
BVV may use verified payment records and authenticated account information to associate purchases with their authorized purchasers.
Purchasers must provide accurate information and keep their listing information reasonably current.
Private listing profiles may remain unpublished while they are being completed, reviewed, corrected, or prepared for the public directory launch.
6. Registration Standards and Professional Representations
Professional Listing and Professional Connect are intended for individuals who have completed end-of-life doula or death doula training.
Participating doulas must confirm completed death or end-of-life doula training, describe their current professional practice status, services and availability, and confirm that they are responsible for complying with laws applicable to their services. Business registration and liability insurance information may be provided voluntarily and is not required for approval. Trained doulas who are not currently accepting clients may maintain a listing that displays that status.
These statements are self-reported professional information and do not constitute independent verification by BVV.
Funeral, memorial, end-of-life service, and education providers must provide accurate information and publication consent but are not subject to the doula training requirements, which apply only to Professional Listing and Professional Connect. These businesses remain responsible for their applicable legal, licensing, and registration obligations.
Funeral, memorial, end-of-life service, and education listings are subject to the registration standards and content requirements applicable to their respective categories.
Participants must not misrepresent qualifications, credentials, licenses, affiliations, services, or professional authority.
BVV may decline or remove listing information that does not comply with applicable requirements.
Additional category-specific requirements are governed by the Listing Terms.
7. Listing Review and Publication
Purchasers may be required to complete and submit their profiles for BVV administrative review.
BVV may request corrections, clarification, or additional information before approving a listing for future publication.
BVV administrative review concerns listing completeness, appropriateness, and compliance with published participation requirements.
Administrative approval is not independent verification, certification, endorsement, or a guarantee that a professional, business, or education provider is legitimate.
Listing review does not certify, license, credential, endorse, or determine the professional competence of listed individuals or businesses.
Administrative approval does not automatically publish a listing and does not mean that public directory access has opened.
BVV retains control over whether and when submitted profiles become publicly available, subject to applicable agreements and law.
BVV may reject, suspend, correct, or remove listings that violate these Terms, the Listing Terms, applicable law, or published participation requirements.
Concerns about inaccurate or misleading directory information may be submitted to info@blueprintvisionventures.com. BVV may review reported concerns and take action under its directory policies.
Any applicable refund or cancellation rights will be governed by the purchase terms and applicable law.
8. Payments, Renewals, and Refunds
Payments for listings or other paid services may be processed through independent payment service providers.
Applicable prices, payment obligations, renewal conditions, cancellation procedures, and refund policies will be disclosed in the relevant purchase agreement and checkout process.
Purchasers are responsible for reviewing those conditions before completing payment.
Unless expressly stated in the applicable offer, purchasing a DeathDoula.org listing does not include enrollment in The Confident Death Doula™ professional development program or other BVV services.
Any separately advertised bundled benefits are governed by their specific offer terms.
Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights or remedies available under applicable law.
9. Interest Registration and Communications
Visitors may voluntarily register to receive updates about DeathDoula.org, its development, public launch, events, resources, and participation opportunities.
Submitting an interest form does not establish a clinical, care, employment, referral, partnership, membership, or paid service relationship.
Interest registration does not guarantee access to future features, acceptance for a listing, or participation in a program.
Visitors may unsubscribe from promotional communications using the available unsubscribe mechanism or by contacting BVV.
Purchasers may also receive transactional communications related to their purchases, account access, profile submissions, administrative reviews, and other service-related activities.
