You agree to the terms of service below, and the Terms of Use for Substack, the technology provider.
K Co. LLC / Kari Kounkel / The 13th Room
Terms of Service
Effective: July 1, 2025
Welcome to Kari Kounkel’s digital living room. Sometimes it’s a blog. Sometimes it’s a boutique. Often it’s a sanctuary for recovering weirdos and gospel-adjacent shenanigans. Whatever brings you here, these are the terms you agree to when you engage with my work, my store, or my spiritually sideways metaphors.
1. Content Is Mine (Unless I Say Otherwise)
All content on this site and connected platforms (Substack, Ecwid, Amazon, YouTube, etc.) belongs to Kari Kounkel, CARES Consulting, Inc. and K Co. LLC, unless otherwise credited. That includes writing, graphics, product descriptions, posts, audio, video, and downloadable materials.
You may share with proper attribution (and joy), but no copying, reselling, scraping, or turning it into weird AI content without permission. I will find you. I will bless you. Then I will block you.
2. Merch, Printables, and Product Stuff
I sell things. Some are digital (zines, downloads, insert cards). Some are physical (marbles, books, blessings in a box).
When you purchase:
Digital items are for personal use only, unless a license is clearly given.
Refunds are not available for digital items. If there’s a glitch, email me and I’ll fix it like a sanctified tech support fairy.
Physical items may be returned within 14 days if unopened and in resellable condition. Buyer pays return shipping. But honestly, just email me. I’m reasonable.
3. Affiliate Disclosures (aka I Might Earn a Tiny Bit)
I use affiliate links, especially Amazon. If you click through and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. It doesn’t cost you more, and it helps fund things like glitter paper, tiaras, and trauma-informed wisdom.
I never promote anything I don’t actually use, love, or giggle about in real life.
4. Community Conduct & Comment Policy
Whether you're in the comments, my inbox, or sending me a marble-gram, here are the vibes:
Be respectful.
No hate speech, harassment, trolling, or weird AI evangelism.
I reserve the right to remove comments, block users, or release emotional pugs upon you if needed.
This is a spiritually sensitive zone. Humor is holy. Boundaries are biblical.
5. No Professional Advice (Even If It Sounds Like It)
I am not your therapist, accountant, attorney, or spiritual director (unless God says otherwise). Everything I share is for educational, inspirational, and metaphorical purposes only.
Please make your own decisions with the help of actual professionals, and maybe Jesus.
6. Subscriptions, Emails, and Member Content
If you subscribe to any part of my Substack or store:
You agree to receive emails from me. I will try to make them delightful.
Some content may be available only to founding members, paid subscribers, or unicorns (metaphorically speaking).
You can unsubscribe anytime. No hard feelings, but you might miss something brilliant.
7. Coupon Codes, Limited Offers, and Flash Blessings
If you use a coupon or discount:
Only one code per order unless otherwise noted.
Most discounts have a time limit or usage cap.
I reserve the right to cancel overly suspicious activity (like ordering 487 mustard zines at 3am).
8. Updates to These Terms
I may update these Terms at any time. If I do, I’ll try to let you know (probably with a meme or a Substack post). Continued use of the site or store means you accept the updated terms.
9. Contact & Questions
Need to reach me? Email: hello@karikounkel.com
Or whisper into a chicken. (Results not guaranteed.)
Thanks for being here. Be weird. Be wise. Be wonderful.
Now go be brilliant.
