AfterMass — Catholic Formation, Prayer, and Community
AfterMass is operated by Ana Munley.
Welcome to AfterMass. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Ana Munley, who owns and operates AfterMass ("AfterMass," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the AfterMass website and app and everything we offer through them (together, the "Service"). Please read them carefully. By creating an account, subscribing, buying a Printable, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Notice.
We have tried to write these Terms in plain language. Where a section affects your money or your legal rights — especially the sections on billing, cancellation, refunds, and dispute resolution — we set out the important points clearly so there are no surprises.
AfterMass is a Catholic membership service, led by Ana Munley — a Catholic laywoman moved to serve the Church through her various channels — from her home in St. Cloud, Florida, USA. It exists to help people keep growing in their Catholic faith through formation, prayer, and community. What we offer may include lessons and reflections, prayer and devotional resources, a liturgical calendar, live online gatherings, and other features we introduce from time to time — the specific features, content, and any schedules are up to us and may change, grow, or pause as the apostolate develops. AfterMass is a private apostolate run by Ana Munley; it is not a parish, a diocese, or an official body of the Catholic Church.
There are three levels of access:
When you join, you become part of the AfterMass community — and your membership is what allows Ana and her small team to devote themselves ever more fully to this apostolate.
Printables are separate from all of this. We also sell printable materials — prayer sheets, devotional and formation printables, and similar things. Buying one is not a level of access and has nothing to do with membership: anyone may buy, with or without an account, and what you buy is yours permanently. Section 7(b) sets out exactly what you may do with it.
Who you buy from, and who you pay. Your membership and any Printable you buy are sold to you by Sold through Link, LLC, a Stripe company acting as the seller of record. In some countries the seller may be a different Stripe company; the one selling to you is always named at checkout and on your receipt, and that company is who you are contracting with for the purchase itself. It takes your payment, charges any tax that is due, issues your invoice, and decides refunds under its own policy. What that changes, and what it does not. The seller of record handles the transaction — taking your payment, charging tax, issuing your invoice, and deciding refunds. Everything about what you are actually buying stays with Ana Munley: the quality and accuracy of the content and the printables, what we say about them in our descriptions and advertising, the rights in them, and compliance with the law that applies to them. The licence in Section 7(b) is hers to you and is unaffected. So if your problem is with what you received rather than with how you paid for it, come to us (Section 15) and we will put it right.
The technology behind the Service — the app, its design, and its hosting — is created and provided by our technology provider, ProgTrack, LLC. Payments are taken by the seller of record described above. AfterMass remains Ana Munley’s, and she is responsible to you for the Service.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or become a member. AfterMass is intended for adults, and by registering you confirm that you are 18 or older and able to enter into this agreement.
AfterMass is a Catholic service. Because of that, using it means we process some information about your faith — at a minimum, the fact that you have chosen a Catholic formation and prayer service. When you create your account you are asked to confirm that you understand this and consent to it, so that we can provide the Service to you. You can read more about how we handle this information, and how to withdraw that consent, in our Privacy Notice.
AfterMass is directed to people in the United States. We do not currently market the Service to, or aim it at, people in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other regions. You are welcome to use it from elsewhere, but we provide it on U.S. terms.
Our free email newsletter is the one narrow exception. Anyone may ask for AfterMass Monthly, wherever they live, and we send it to subscribers outside the United States who have asked us to. That is the only thing we offer beyond the United States, and it changes nothing else: the membership, its content, its live sessions and its billing remain directed to people in the United States and are provided on U.S. terms. Subscribing to the newsletter does not make you a member, and it does not bring the rest of the Service within the law of where you live.
Please give accurate information when you register, and keep it up to date. Your account is for you personally; keep your password private and do not let others use your login. You are responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone has used your account without permission, tell us promptly at privacy@aftermass.org.
The price of a membership, the currency, and how often you are charged are shown to you at checkout before you pay, and you confirm them there. If we offer more than one plan you choose between them at that point. The amount you see at checkout is the amount you will be charged — where tax applies it is included in, or shown alongside, that figure according to the rules of your country. We never see or store your full card number. Your own bank or card issuer may add its own charges — a foreign-transaction or cross-border fee, for example. Those are between you and them, and neither we nor the seller can waive or refund them.
Your membership renews automatically until you cancel.
When you start, your payment method is charged the amount shown at checkout, straight away and then at the start of each billing period, at the then-current price — and it keeps renewing on that schedule until you cancel. Your billing period is the one you chose at checkout and it is stated on your receipt.
You can cancel yourself, anytime, in your account settings — cancelling is as easy as signing up. If you cancel, your membership stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not charge you again after that, and we do not give partial or pro-rated refunds for the current period (see Section 6).
We will email you a receipt when you are charged, a reminder ahead of any renewal on a billing period longer than one month, and advance notice before any price change.
Because a membership renews automatically, we ask you to agree specifically to these automatic-renewal and cancellation terms at checkout — separately from simply accepting these Terms — before your payment method is charged. Starting a membership means you are giving permission to charge you on the recurring schedule above until you cancel. That permission is given to the seller of record named at checkout (see Section 1), which is the company that charges you — and it is why your card or bank statement shows something like “link.com * AfterMass.org” — the seller’s name together with ours, so you can recognise the charge. Cancelling still works exactly as described in Section 5: you do it in your account settings, and you never have to contact them.
Each time you are charged, we send a receipt by email that restates your plan, the amount, and how to cancel. If your billing period is longer than one month, we will also send you a reminder before each renewal, in good time for you to cancel first if you wish, with a link to do so.
You may receive two emails for one payment, and this is normal. The seller of record issues your tax invoice — that is the document to keep for tax or expense purposes — and we send the AfterMass receipt described above. They are not two charges.
We will not raise the price you pay without telling you first. If we ever change membership pricing, we will give you advance notice by email — stating your current price, the new price, and when it takes effect — with enough time for you to cancel before the new price applies. If you do not want to continue at the new price, you can cancel as described in Section 5.
If a renewal payment does not go through, we may retry it and let you know so you can update your payment method. If you have more than one payment method saved with the seller of record, it may try another one of yours before giving up — you can see, change or remove your saved payment methods with them at any time. If payment still cannot be collected, your paid access may pause or end, but you will not owe us anything beyond amounts already properly due, and you can start a new membership at any time.
You can pay for memberships that other people use. You buy one or more, we give you a redemption code for each, and whoever holds a code redeems it by creating their own AfterMass account. What you are buying is the funding of a membership, not access to or control over anybody’s account. The person who redeems a code is our member on the same terms as everyone else, and you are not a party to their membership.
You are billed for every membership you buy, whether or not its code is ever used. A code that nobody redeems is still a membership you are paying for, in the same way an unfilled seat on a family plan is still a seat. You can end any of them at any time, and you can set an end date for any of them whenever you like.
What you will and will not be told. If you asked us to place the codes for you, you will never learn who received one — not their name, their email, their country, when they redeemed, or anything they do here. If you kept the codes to hand out yourself, you will additionally be able to see whether each code has been used, so that you can chase one that went astray. That is the whole of it: we will not tell you who used it, or what they have done since. We will not make an exception to this, including at your request.
Ending, and what happens to your money. If you end a membership part-way through a billing period, we credit you for the unused days against your next invoice. If the person using it starts paying for their own membership, the one you were funding ends and you stop being charged for it, because it is no longer needed. If your payment stops for any reason, anyone using a membership you funded keeps access for a short wind-down period and is invited to continue it themselves; we do not tell them why it is ending.
If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, the 14-day right to cancel described in Section 6 applies to this purchase too, and the seller of record handles it in the same way.
You can cancel your membership yourself, at any time, directly in your account settings — it takes just a click or two, and it is at least as easy as signing up was. You do not have to call us, email us, wait for business hours, chat with anyone, or sit through offers meant to change your mind. We will confirm your cancellation on screen and by email.
When you cancel, your membership simply stops renewing. You keep your member access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not charge you again.
Refunds are decided by the seller of record (see Section 1), because that is who you bought from. Its refund policy governs, and nothing in this section overrides it or limits it. Like ours, that policy does not give a refund simply because you changed your mind, or for a subscription period you did not use — but it does give way to anything the law requires, including the cooling-off right described below. What follows is how AfterMass approaches refunds, and what we will ask the seller to do.
As a rule we do not refund membership fees for time already covered: when you cancel, you keep access through the end of the paid period you are in, and we do not ordinarily pro-rate the current month or year. If you believe a charge is wrong, tell us and we will take it up with the seller on your behalf — you do not have to chase them yourself.
If we end your membership for a reason that is not your fault — for example, if we permanently stop offering the Service — we will refund the unused portion of any period you have already paid for. This does not apply if we end your access because you broke these Terms.
Printables are a little different, because you keep them. A Printable is delivered to you straight away as a file that is yours permanently, so we do not ordinarily refund one that has been downloaded. Again, the seller of record decides refunds under its own policy. If something has gone wrong — you were charged twice, you received the wrong item, or the file will not open or print properly — please tell us at privacy@aftermass.org and we will put it right.
If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a 14-day right to cancel — a cooling-off period running from the day you receive access to, or delivery of, what you bought. It applies to a membership and to digital content such as our printables. Nothing in these Terms takes it away or shortens it.
To use it, contact the seller of record’s customer support, ask for a refund, and say that “cooling off period” is the reason. Tell us too if you would like our help — you are welcome to start with us and we will take it up with them.
Where the cooling-off right can end early. For digital content supplied immediately rather than on a physical medium, the law lets that right end before the fourteen days are up — but only if, at the point of purchase, you expressly asked for immediate access and acknowledged that asking for it costs you the right to cancel. Unless you were asked for both of those things and gave them, your fourteen days stand in full. None of this affects your separate rights if what you received is faulty, or is not what was described.
If you would rather have credit than your money back. Where you are entitled to a refund, we will sometimes offer you AfterMass credit instead, worth 20% more than the refund. It is an offer and never a condition: you can say no and take the refund, and saying no costs you nothing and changes nothing else. If you accept, the credit does not expire.
None of this affects any right you have under law that cannot be waived.
The lessons, reflections, videos, audio, prayers, calendar, printables, and other materials we offer, along with the AfterMass name and logo, belong to Ana Munley or are used with permission.
Two different things can happen with that material, and they work differently: content you reach through your account is covered by 7(a), and any Printable you buy is covered by 7(b). Where the two could seem to overlap, 7(b) governs what you bought.
For the lessons, reflections, videos, audio, prayers, calendar, and other materials we make available to you inside AfterMass, we give you a personal, limited, non-transferable permission to access and use them for your own faith formation, for as long as you have access to them. Please do not copy, republish, redistribute, sell, or publicly share this content outside the Service, and do not remove any notices from it.
We sell printable materials (“Printables”) directly through AfterMass. A Printable is bought, not borrowed, and the arrangement is deliberately simple.
What you buy is yours to keep. Your purchase is permanent. It does not expire, it does not depend on having an account, and it is not affected if you never become a member, if you cancel a membership, or if your account is closed. The download link on your receipt goes on working.
One copy is for one person. The thing we sell is a copy for a single person — the person who will actually use it. That is why the price per copy falls as you buy more, and it is the key to everything below.
So you may:
What we ask you not to do:
Those four points are not only requests. They mark the edge of the permission we are giving you, and a use beyond them is not covered by it.
The permission stays with whoever bought it — you, or the school, parish, or organisation you bought for — and cannot be sold or handed on to someone else. The printed copies you make under it are a different matter: those are for the people they are for, to keep. Apart from the points above, what you bought is yours to use, permanently, and it does not depend on these Terms or your relationship with us continuing.
Where our materials include Scripture or traditional prayers, we use texts that are in the public domain or that we are licensed to use. AfterMass is a private apostolate and is not an official liturgical publication of the Catholic Church; see Section 9.
Please use AfterMass in good faith and lawfully. You agree not to:
We may suspend or end access where we reasonably believe the Service is being misused or abused, or where there is a security risk (see Section 12).
Community features (coming later). AfterMass may add community features in the future — for example a prayer wall, group chat, or discussion space. If and when we do, anything you post there will be subject to additional community rules that we will publish at that time, covering acceptable conduct, how we handle and remove content, and how to report a concern. We will not turn on such features without those rules in place. Until then, AfterMass has no public posting space.
AfterMass offers spiritual and educational content in the Catholic tradition. It is not professional advice and is not a substitute for professional care.
Nothing in AfterMass — including lessons, reflections, prayers, or the Live sessions — is medical, psychological, mental-health, legal, or financial advice, and it should not be relied on in place of a qualified professional. If you are dealing with a health, mental-health, legal, or financial matter, please speak with an appropriate professional.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please reach out for help right now. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 for any emergency. If you are outside the United States, please contact your local emergency number or a crisis service in your area.
AfterMass is a private apostolate. It is not an official liturgical publication of the Catholic Church, and it is not a substitute for the Church's approved liturgical books or for the guidance of your own pastor, parish, or diocese. We aim for accuracy and fidelity, but we do not present AfterMass as an authoritative or official source of Church teaching.
In this Section and in Section 11, “AfterMass Parties” means Ana Munley and AfterMass together with their technology, service, and management providers — including ProgTrack, LLC (which builds, hosts, and operates AfterMass for Ana as her service provider) and Danburite House (which provides management support to Ana Munley and her apostolate) — their other contractors, and each of their respective owners, officers, members, employees, and agents.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NONE OF THE AFTERMASS PARTIES WARRANTS THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY PARTICULAR CONTENT OR LIVE SESSION WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE. This does not affect any rights you have under law that cannot be excluded.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NONE OF THE AFTERMASS PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. THE AFTERMASS PARTIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
The AfterMass Parties other than Ana Munley and AfterMass — including ProgTrack, LLC and Danburite House — are intended third-party beneficiaries of the disclaimers in Section 10 and the limitations in this Section 11, and each may rely on and enforce them directly as if it were a party to these Terms.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
You may stop using AfterMass or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you materially break these Terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse, or if we need to in order to comply with the law. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will let you know. If we end your access for a reason that is not your fault, the refund rule in Section 6 applies. When your account ends, your access stops, and we handle your information as described in our Privacy Notice.
This does not touch anything you have bought. Printables you have already purchased remain yours, the permission in Section 7(b) continues, and your receipt link keeps working — whether you close your account, we end your access, or you never had an account at all.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. This choice of law does not take away the protection of any mandatory consumer-rights law of the country or state where you live that applies to you and cannot be waived.
If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, this Section 13(b) does not apply to you. You are not required to arbitrate, the class-action waiver does not apply to you, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live. If we ever needed to bring a claim against you, we would bring it only in the courts of the country where you live. You keep every protection of that country’s consumer law.
Please read the rest of this section carefully — it affects how disputes between you and us are resolved if you are not covered by the paragraph above.
If a dispute arises between you and us relating to AfterMass or these Terms, we both agree to try first to resolve it informally by contacting each other. If we cannot resolve it within 60 days, then, except for the matters carved out below, you and we agree that the dispute will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration may take place in Florida or, at your choice, in your home county, or by phone or video where the rules allow.
Individual basis only. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims.
Carve-outs. Either of us may still bring a qualifying matter in small-claims court, and either of us may ask a court for an injunction or similar relief to protect intellectual-property rights. Nothing here stops you from reporting a concern to any government agency.
Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-action-waiver section by emailing us at privacy@aftermass.org within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms, and it will not affect your use of AfterMass.
If this arbitration section, or the class-action waiver within it, is found unenforceable, the rest of these Terms still apply, and any dispute not sent to arbitration will be handled by the courts under the Florida law described above. This section does not take away any right you have under law that cannot be waived.
We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, to reflect new features or changes in the law. If we make a material change, we will give you reasonable notice, such as by email or a notice in the Service, before it takes effect, and where appropriate we will ask you to accept the updated Terms. If you keep using AfterMass after an update takes effect, that means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you can cancel your membership (Section 5) and stop using the Service.
If you have any questions about these Terms or about AfterMass, please contact us at privacy@aftermass.org. That is the right address even for a question about a payment, a refund or an invoice — those are the seller of record’s to decide (Section 1), but you should not have to work out who to ask. Write to us and we will take it up with them.
If you would rather go direct, the split is simple. Anything about the order — a payment, a refund, an invoice — belongs to the seller of record, and its customer support is linked from your receipt and your confirmation email. Anything about the thing you bought — how to use it, a file that will not open, a question about the content — is ours, and the seller does not handle it. Either way, you are always welcome to start with us.
For regulatory matters in the European Union and the United Kingdom — a question from a supervisory authority, a consumer-protection body, or anyone writing to us about the application of EU or UK regulation — please use legal@aftermass.org. For everything else, including your own privacy rights, privacy@aftermass.org remains the right address.
