Referral Network
We provide this Referral Network as a service for those interested in seeking self-support and those who wish to seek out healing remedies or other self-focused development tasks, resources and products. Note that none of these professionals are employees of Company or its affiliates, nor does Company or its affiliates recommend or endorse their services. Should you choose to engage with third parties you must refer to their Terms of Use and other policies, since they are solely responsible for their acts or omissions. We do offer collaborateed upon self-help tools, but your engagement with these and the outcomes are expressly risky, especially when you have other underlining mental health disorders. We aim to support the self-compassionate route towards working with yourself, and encourage the client/user to fully embody self-compassion/ sole responsibility by way of ceasing their own engagement with the material if they are unwell or unable to manage any inwards reactions, or outwards changes, that have resulted from their engagement with the site or via hyper links to third party sites/ resources or other. We trust the client/user to empower themselves, not offload what they are responsible for, ‘their own health and wellbeing’, which is the determined focus in this clause. Company, the author, publisher, and other third parties, are not liable nor responsible for any loss, damages or injury, allegedly resulting from any engagement with this platform or related publications and research, nor hyperlinks to third party sources.
Links to Other Sites
This Site may contain links to other independent third-party Web sites (“Linked Sites”). These Linked Sites are provided solely as a convenience to Site visitors. Such Linked Sites are not under Company’s control, and Company is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of such Linked Sites, including but not limited to any information or materials contained on such Linked Sites. You will need to make your own independent judgment regarding your interaction with these Linked Sites. In addition, a hyperlink to a non-Company Website does not mean that Company endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content or the use of the linked site. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use or download is free of such items as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other items of a destructive nature. Again, Company, the author, publisher, and other on-site third parties, are not liable nor responsible for any loss, damages or injury, allegedly resulting from any engagement with links to other sites.
Waver of Rights to Correspondence
Any information shared in correspondence with The Company, be that in audio format, visual, text, or other, will become the property of The Company, and can be used for publishing, or other unspecified purposes once the time-lapse period has expired, for example: artistic creation, film media, documentary and other similar creative mediums. It is maintained herein that The Company, the author, publisher, or other third parties, are not liable nor responsible for any loss, damages or injury, allegedly resulting from any engagement with this platform or related publications and research. Specifically, for each correspondence channel, we make things 100% clear below:
Ask A Question – When you submit a question you give The Company permission to publish that question and the related answer to anamaria.org with immediacy, as well as in print or for use with other mediums, including art. You can opt to keep the question from the blog by copying and pasting the following phrase into your submission form: *I would rather my question remain private and not be posted anonymously to the blog. Thank you. However, take note that after 5 years that declaration becomes null and void, and your question can be posted in total anonymity to anamaria.org, as well as it becoming free to print in text, ebook, audio format, and other visual mediums (see paragraph directly above).
Quotes can be used, your stories retold and used especially for teaching purposes, and the aim of it all is to expand your lesson/ line of inquiry into a wider lesson that can have greater impact and serve/ benefit the public. Should you disagree with any future publishing uses, please use another service, as there can be no retrospective changing of one’s mind. Once your question is submitted, your correspondence can either be posted with immediacy to this platform, or used for other purposes after 5 years, and any question submission must be submitted in full awareness of that being the case. If you do not declare immediate non-disclosure preference, your submission is available to The Company to use as they wish, within predictable reason.
Pen-Pal Service – When you correspond with Ana Maria by using the Pen-Pal Service, every single correspondence is stored both online under the email server, as well as offline, all communications being collected for research and publication purposes. Although anonymity is 100% maintained, you do permit, by commencing your engagement with the service, to all information disclosed being used in later publications and/or in various creative mediums, and for all other relevant research purposes. However, please rest safe in the knowing that your anonymous information cannot be published in its entirety until the year 2040, by which time the delicate nature of such an event impacting your sense of safety should be predictably minimised. Know that all locations, names, and even familial/ relational details will be omitted or changed entirely for public safety. You are permitting these publications and research projects by engaging from your first submission here.
Please note, from the date of your submission, should a caption, phrase or general inquiry route produce creative inspiration, that section of your submission may be quoted directly, with changes to place, people, and theme, all to protect your anonymity and preserve safety, especially when your story presents as high-risk in terms of exposure to an external person of threat. We do know that people need to stay safe and we align with that need. The reason for this ‘quoting’ clause and option, is to ensure that your work with The Company can simply be used to aid other people in need, and where this is the case, you automatically permit the ‘helping of you’ to be transformed into a format that may help another in a similar situation/ living a similar thread of story in life.
We are in this together, and you will always be informed of such an instance so as to ensure there are no ‘surprise reactions’ you have to live through. When we do inform you via the given email address, you will have 10 consecutive days to respond; although by engaging you cannot stop the use of anything you have written to The Company, at The Company’s discretion, we may mediate to a comfortable outcome for both parties, should you not want to have your words used in any way. For specificity in regard to volume of ‘data’ available for use by The Company, only 1 email submission, out of context, can be utilised per month. In other words, should you write 10 emails to The Company within 30, and one can be used to illustrate to others how to survive something, or do something in a new way, you will be informed beforehand, invited to welcome the experience, or not, and things will be taken from there. To confirm, we cannot use an entire month’s dialogue to help others, only an example from a single email address. This way, we do hope to minimise risk of exposure and any anxiety on the part of The Client. Further to that, generally speaking, if a person really hates the idea of it all, although our right to do so, we are likely to respect the needs of the client over the needs of The Company and cease with present usage, perhaps pegging it for a later date.
Confessions – Because of the nature of the service and the risk to the individual should their confession go public, even anonymously, there is a 50 year non-disclosure clause, which begins automatically from the time and date of your submission. In other words, submit your confession on 3rd April 2023, it cannot be published in full until 4th April 2073. This protects those confessing from exposing themselves in a way that feels unsafe or uncomfortable. Please note, if Ana Maria Santuario dies, this service is likely to continue, and it must be understood that when one ‘confesses’, they confess to The Company, and not Ana Maria Santuario. They must also comprehend, that no matter what, this confession does still become the property of The Company, and it will be potentially published partially in print, used in video work, audio, research and documentary series before the 50 year marker, yet the confession in its entirety will not be published until those 50 years have been marked and confirmed.

Upon corresponding, you ultimately hand over 100% copyright to Company forever, and they publish in line with the aforementioned waver, as outline above.
