1. THE SOVEREIGN SOURCE & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
1.1. Proprietary Ownership: All materials, research data, recovery frameworks, and pedagogical structures—including but not limited to The Kintsugi Method™, The Identity Reconstruction Framework™, and The Self-Restoration Framework™—are the exclusive intellectual property of Rebecca C. Mandeville. 1.2. No Authorization: No third party is authorized to teach, re-brand, or commercially exploit these frameworks. Use of the term “Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA)” in a commercial or clinical capacity without explicit written license from the Founder is a violation of proprietary rights. 1.3. Derivative Works: You may not modify, translate, or create derivative works from the content in this Workspace.
2. THE WORKSPACE ENVIRONMENT (ZERO TOLERANCE)
2.1. Not a Support Group: This is a forensic educational workspace. It is not a crisis center, a standard support group, or a medical facility. 2.2. Behavioral Guardrails: We maintain a Zero Tolerance Policy for “Venting,” “Splitting,” “Trauma-Looping,” or harassment. 2.3. Immediate Eviction: The Founder reserves the absolute, sovereign right to terminate any membership and ban any user at any time, without explanation, if their presence is deemed detrimental to the integrity of the Workspace or the welfare of the community. 2.4. Non-Interference: Upon eviction or cancellation, former users are strictly prohibited from contacting current members for the purpose of disparaging the Founder or inciting financial disputes. Such actions will be prosecuted as Tortious Interference.
3. MEMBERSHIP & FINANCIALS
3.1. Recurring Billing: Memberships are billed monthly via Stripe. By joining, you authorize these recurring charges. 3.2. No Refunds: One-time Product purchases (such as online course modules) may be completed via Stripe or PayPal. Due to the digital and proprietary nature of the research provided, all payments are non-refundable. We do not offer pro-rated refunds for partial months. 3.3. Cancellation: You may cancel your membership at any time via your account settings. Access will remain until the end of the current billing cycle.
4. MEDICAL & LEGAL DISCLAIMER
4.1. Educational Purpose Only: Rebecca C. Mandeville is a researcher and educator. She is not acting as your therapist, physician, or crisis counselor. 4.2.

🛡️ Data Privacy & Permanent Deletion Protocol
The “Right to be Forgotten” At The Inviolate Self Project™, we respect your right to privacy and the sovereignty of your data. If you choose to leave the sanctuary and wish for your data to be permanently scrubbed from our ecosystem, please be aware of our multi-platform architecture:
- Self-Service Cancellation: You may cancel your membership at any time via your account settings. This stops future billing and removes your access to the Sanctuary.
- Permanent Data Scrubbing: Due to the integration of our platforms (Payhip, Stripe, and MailerLite), deleting your account in one area does not automatically purge your data from the others.
- The Deletion Request: To ensure your data is completely and permanently removed from our transactional ledgers, communication logs, and subscriber lists, you must send a direct email to support@scapegoatrecovery.com with the subject line: “Permanent Data Deletion Request.” Per Payhip, it takes 30 days for your data to be “forgotten” permanently by their system.
Administrative Limitations:
- Transactional Records: Please note that as the “Merchant of Record,” Payhip is legally required to maintain certain transactional data for tax and compliance purposes. We will, however, ensure your name and contact details are purged from all active marketing and community databases upon request.
- Archived Comments: Any reflections or comments posted within the sanctuary prior to deletion will remain (usually under a ‘Deleted User’ tag) to maintain the structural integrity of the community’s forensic work, unless specifically requested otherwise.
