Terms & Conditions
Updated March 2026
A legal disclaimer
Welcome to Sorted State. By using this website, purchasing a product or program, or signing up for any communications, you agree to the following terms. I’ve written these to be as straightforward as possible, because the goal is clarity, not fine print.
Terms & Conditions - the basics
1. About Sorted State
Sorted State is a home and small business organization service owned and operated by Kate Vanness-Kandoth, based in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. I work with clients in person in the greater Philadelphia area and virtually with clients anywhere.
Website: www.sorted-state.com
Contact: info@sorted-state.com
2. Insurance & In-Person Services
Sorted State is fully insured for professional organizing services in the state of Pennsylvania. This coverage applies to in-person client engagements conducted within Pennsylvania.
Terms and conditions specific to in-person services, including liability, cancellation, and refund policies, are governed by a separate client agreement managed through our client portal. If you are an in-person client, please refer to that agreement for the terms that apply to your engagement.
3. Digital Products & Online Programs
Online Courses & Live Cohort Programs
If you are unsatisfied with an online course or live cohort program, you may request a full refund within 14 calendar days of the program start date. After that window, no refunds will be issued. To request a refund, email info@sorted-state.com with your name and order details.
Digital Products (E-Books, Templates, Kits)
All digital product sales are final. Because digital files are delivered immediately upon purchase and cannot be “un-downloaded,” refunds are not available for e-books, templates, DIY kits, or other downloadable products. Please review product descriptions carefully before purchasing.
4. Not Professional Advice
The content on this website, in the newsletter, and in any Sorted State programs is intended for general informational and educational purposes only. It reflects my personal experience applying organization, productivity, and systems-thinking frameworks in real-world home and small business contexts.
Nothing on this site constitutes professional legal, financial, medical, therapeutic, or psychological advice. I am a professional organizer, not a licensed therapist, attorney, or financial advisor. Please consult qualified professionals for decisions in those areas.
Results vary. I share what has worked for me and my clients, but I cannot guarantee specific outcomes for your situation.
5. Privacy & Data Collection
Sorted State takes your privacy seriously. Here’s exactly how I handle your information:
GDPR Compliance
Sorted State follows General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) privacy guidelines for all personal information collected through this website. You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your data at any time. To exercise these rights, contact info@sorted-state.com.
Your Data Is Never Sold
I will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. Full stop. Your name, email address, and any other information you share with me exists solely for the purpose of providing you with services and communications you have opted into.
What Is Collected
Information collected may include your name, email address, responses to intake forms, and basic usage data from the website (such as pages visited). This information is used to provide services, improve the website, and send communications you have requested.
6. Email Communications
Legitimate Sender Domains
All official Sorted State emails come from one of two sources only:
-
The Sorted State newsletter, sent via Substack (substack.com)
-
Direct company email from the @sorted-state.com domain (for example, info@sorted-state.com)
If you receive an email that claims to be from Sorted State but originates from any other domain, treat it as fraudulent.
Do not click any links or provide any information, and feel free to report it to your email administrator (gmail, yahoo or other)
Unsubscribing
Unsubscribing is easy and comprehensive. If you unsubscribe from any Sorted State communication, I will remove you from all Sorted State mailing lists. You will not need to opt out of each channel separately. You can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of any email, or by emailing info@sorted-state.com directly.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on this website, including text, graphics, program materials, worksheets, and the Sorted State brand, is the intellectual property of Sorted State / Kate Vanness-Kandoth. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use any content for commercial purposes without written permission.
Content purchased as part of a program or digital product is licensed for your personal use only and may not be shared, resold, or redistributed.
8. Website Disclaimer
This website is provided “as is.” While I do my best to keep information accurate and up to date, I make no warranties—express or implied—about the completeness, reliability, or availability of the website or its contents. I am not liable for any losses or damages arising from your use of this site.
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. Sorted State is not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.
9. Changes to These Terms
I may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of this website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
