Terms of Service

Effective date: July 18, 2026

1. Agreement to These Terms

Welcome to Am I The Problem? ("the site," "we," "our"), operated by The Ephoria Store. By accessing amitheproblem.net, taking the quiz, or reading our articles, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the site.

2. What This Site Is (and Isn't)

Am I The Problem? is a free website provided for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only. The quiz and articles are inspired by published relationship research, including Dr. John Gottman's work on conflict patterns, but they are an educational adaptation of that research, not a validated psychological instrument.

Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, mental health advice, relationship therapy, couples counseling, or any other form of professional advice. Your quiz results are a self-reflection tool: a structured prompt for thinking about your own behavior in conflict. They are not a diagnosis, an assessment of your mental health, or a verdict on your relationship. If you have concerns about your relationship or wellbeing, consult a licensed therapist, counselor, or physician. Never disregard professional advice because of something you read here.

3. Eligibility

The site is intended for users aged 16 and older. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt the site's operation, scrape or republish its content at scale, misrepresent quiz results as clinical findings, use the site to harass or harm another person, or interfere with the advertising or analytics services that support the site.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on this site, including the quiz questions, scoring logic, result descriptions, articles, graphics, and design, is owned by The Ephoria Store or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may share links to the site and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute substantial portions of the site's content without our prior written permission. References to Dr. John Gottman and other researchers are for attribution of published research; this site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Gottman Institute.

6. Quiz Results

Quiz answers are processed entirely in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. Results are generated by a simple scoring system with an intentional element of variation, and they depend entirely on the honesty and interpretation of your own answers. They should be read as a conversation starter with yourself, not as a measurement of you or anyone else.

7. Advertising and Third-Party Links

The site is supported by advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense. Advertisers and ad networks are third parties; we do not endorse the products or services advertised, and your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and them. The site also contains links to external websites (including our related quiz sites and research references). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of external sites. See our Privacy Policy for details on advertising cookies and how to opt out of personalized ads.

8. Disclaimers

The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. While we work to keep content accurate and grounded in published research, we make no guarantee that any content is complete, current, or applicable to your situation.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Ephoria Store and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from your use of the site, including decisions you make about your relationships based on quiz results or articles. Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the site is to stop using it.

10. Changes to the Site or These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; the current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
