Guardrails is a peer accountability and encouragement tool. It is not a substitute for a pastor, licensed counselor, therapist, psychiatrist, or any other medical or mental-health professional. The AI Companion feature uses artificial intelligence to offer encouragement and scripture — it is not a licensed provider and cannot diagnose, treat, or counsel.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, experiencing suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or any emergency — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. You may also contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 (available 24/7) or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.

By using Guardrails you acknowledge that the app, its content, its AI features, and the messages or encouragement you receive from other members do not constitute professional advice, therapy, or medical care. You agree that Guardrails, its founders, team members, group leaders, and volunteers are not responsible for any decisions you make or actions you take based on content within the app.

You understand and agree that your use of Guardrails is entirely at your own risk. Guardrails is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and hold harmless Guardrails, its owners, officers, employees, volunteers, group leaders, and affiliates from any and all claims, damages, losses, or liabilities — including but not limited to physical injury, emotional distress, self-harm, or death — arising from or related to your use of the app, reliance on its content (including AI-generated content), or interactions with other members.

In no event shall Guardrails be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind.
