Notes for you (the site owner):
- Both sites currently appear to be fresh WordPress installs with placeholder content. These Terms are written for a life-stories / personal-narrative focused site and closely mirror the structure used for shortstoryhabit.com for consistency.
- Replace the placeholders (governing law jurisdiction and contact email) with your real details.
- This is not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney review both sets of Terms, especially if you plan user story submissions, community features, photo/video uploads, newsletters, or paid elements.
- Publish on a dedicated page (e.g., /terms or /terms-and-conditions) and link from the footer and any forms.
