Effective date: July 13, 2026 · Brewster Wickersham Publications
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Brewster Wickersham Publications ("we," "us") governing your use of the Soothe Quest mobile application (the "App"). By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the rules of the app store from which you downloaded it.
The App includes virtual items (lives, power-ups, wish tickets, cosmetic skins). Virtual items are earned through play or included with Soothe Plus — they are never sold separately. They are licensed to you, not sold; they have no real-world monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are non-transferable. We may adjust game balance or availability of virtual items to keep the game fair and sustainable. Virtual items live on your device and are lost if the App is deleted, unless you keep a backup using the in-app export feature; they are not refundable except as required by law or store policy.
Soothe Quest is a wellness and entertainment product. Although it was created by a physician and includes encouraging passages from The Resilient Path, the App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and using it does not create a doctor–patient relationship with Dr. Wickersham. Always seek the advice of your own physician or qualified health provider with any questions about a medical condition, and never disregard professional advice because of something in the App.
The App, its artwork, music, code, and text — including excerpts from The Resilient Path: Modern Strategies for Living with Chronic Pain © 2025 Pendleton B. Wickersham, MD — are protected by copyright and other laws and are used in the App with the author's permission. You may share content only through the sharing features provided in the App, for personal, non-commercial purposes.
You agree not to copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or exploit the App; interfere with its operation; or use it in violation of law or these Terms. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Your download is also governed by the terms of the applicable app store. For Apple users, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the extent not covered by these Terms, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them.
We may update the App and these Terms. Material changes will be posted at this page with a new effective date; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions? Contact penn@wickershamdevgrp.com.
