Terms of Service — Ebb and Ember
Last updated: June 1, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of ebbandember.com and the sauna, cold-plunge, and related wellness
services provided by Elevated Tides Experiences, LLC, doing business as Ebb and Ember Sauna Co. ("Ebb and Ember,"
"we," "us," or "our"). By booking a session, purchasing a membership or gift card, or using our website, you agree to
these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
1. Our services
Ebb and Ember operates floating sauna and cold-plunge sessions, memberships, and related experiences on the Columbia
River in Portland, Oregon. Session types, availability, hours, and pricing may change at any time without notice.
2. Booking and payment
Sessions, memberships, and gift cards are purchased through our online booking platform. Payment is due in full at the
time of booking unless otherwise stated. All prices are in U.S. dollars. We process payments through a secure
third-party payment processor and do not store full payment card numbers ourselves.
3. Cancellations, rescheduling, and refunds
All sales are final. We do not offer cash refunds. If you cannot attend a booked session, you may cancel through the
link in your confirmation email and receive a gift card credit for the full amount, which can be applied to a future
booking or transferred to another person. You may also reschedule by selecting "move booking" to choose another
available time.
Sessions are held rain or shine and are not cancelled due to weather, so no refund or credit is issued for weather. We
reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a session for safety reasons, such as unsafe river or operating conditions;
in that case you will be offered a reschedule or a gift card credit.
4. Gift cards
Gift cards and gift card credits may be applied toward sessions and other offerings as described at the time of
redemption. Gift cards are not redeemable for cash except where required by law.
5. Memberships
Memberships grant the benefits described at the time of purchase, including any included guest passes, at the pricing
and billing terms shown during signup. Guest passes may only be used when the member is present with the guest.
Membership benefits, pricing, and terms may change with notice. Details on billing cycle, renewal, and cancellation
are provided at the time of purchase and in your account.
6. Health, safety, and assumption of risk
Sauna and cold-plunge activities on open water involve inherent and significant risks, including exposure to heat and
cold, cold shock, slips and falls on wet or moving surfaces, river currents, and other hazards. You are responsible
for knowing your own health limits. If you have any heart, blood pressure, respiratory, or other medical condition, or
if you are pregnant, consult a physician before participating. You participate voluntarily and at your own risk.
All participants must sign our Waiver and Release of Liability before participating. You agree to follow all posted
rules and the instructions of our staff at all times. Jumping or diving is prohibited unless expressly permitted by
staff.
7. Conduct
You agree to treat staff and other guests with respect, to follow all facility rules, and not to participate while
impaired by alcohol or drugs. We may refuse service to, or remove, anyone who creates a safety risk or disrupts the
experience, without refund or credit.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ebb and Ember and its owners, members, employees, and contractors are not
liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services or website. Our
total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the session or membership giving rise to the
claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. The terms of our Waiver
and Release of Liability control over any conflicting language in these Terms with respect to participation in our
activities.
