THE SOUL TRANSFER AGREEMENT
OFFICIAL SOUL TRANSFER AGREEMENT
PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT
This Soul Transfer Agreement (The Pact) is made between:
- The Soul Exchange Authority (SEA), an infernal administrative body operating under the jurisdiction of Hells department of Eternal Administration, specialising in the acquisition, processing and creative misuse of souls;
and
- You, the undersigned mortal human (The Applicant).
Together referred to as “The Parties”
ARTICLE I: PURPOSE OF THIS UNHOLY DOCUMENT
1.1. The purpose of this Agreement is to formally transfer your immortal soul from your possession to the Soul Exchange Authority, in exchange for such benefits, illusions of power, ego boosts, or questionable life upgrades as may be negotiated or vaguely implied.
1.2. By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have decided, of your own free will and/or poor impulse control, to sell your soul to SEA.
ARTICLE II: DESCRIPTION OF SOUL
2.1. For the avoidance of doubt, “Soul” shall mean, without limitation:
- Your essence, consciousness, vibe, aura and whatever it is that sings internally at 3 a.m.
- All emotional baggage, unresolved childhood issues and embarrassing memories from school.
- Any and all potential for redemption, spiritual growth or finding yourself on a retreat in Bali.
2.2. The Soul is accepted by SEA on an “as is, no returns, no cooling off period” basis.
2.3. The Soul may arrive slightly fractured, extremely anxious, or covered in glitter. SEA accepts all states and conditions, including but not limited to:
- Emotionally unavailable
- Obsessed with true crime
- It’s complicated
ARTICLE III: CONSIDERATION
(What you get out of this ordeal)
3.1. In exchange for the Soul, SEA may, at its sole infernal discretion, provide one or more of the following perks, benefits, or delusions:
- Temporary success, fame or good parking spaces.
- Charisma, magnetism, stage presence and the ability to always pick the nicest takeaway.
- Unfair good luck in minor situations (e.g. The last slice of pizza is always yours).
- Whispers of forbidden knowledge, usually at inconvenient times.
- A certificate of your registration and various other bits & bobs (dependant on your package).
3.2. The exact terms of your deal may be:
- Specifically negotiated (see signed Addendum, sticky note, or blood signed napkin)
- Vaguely implied, misremembered and later blamed on the wording of the contract.
3.3. SEA makes no guarantee that you will be satisfied, fulfilled, or emotionally stable as a result of this transaction. That’s on you.
ARTICLE IV: OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER
4.1. You agree to:
- Hand over your Soul in full, including all attachments and expansions.
- Pay our transaction fee.
- Stop pretending it’s on loan or just a trial period.
- Refrain from selling, leasing or gifting your soul to any third party, deity, demon or influencer once this Agreement is signed.
4.2. You agree not to:
- Attempt chargebacks with celestial authorities.
- Claim you didn’t read it properly. You did. You just skimmed and hoped for the best.
- Blame a Mercury retrograde for your poor contractual decisions.
ARTICLE V: OBLIGATIONS OF THE SOUL EXCHANGE AUTHORITY
5.1. SEA shall:
- Duly register your Soul in the Infernal register of acquired assets.
- Assign your case to a licensed Demonic Field Agent, Intern or Karen from the Abyss.

6.2. The Agreement may not be cancelled, revoked, or renegotiated, except in cases of administrative error caused by a demon spilling coffee on the transaction files or the Universe experiencing a full cosmic factory reset.
6.3. Prayers, crystals, vision boards and strongly worded emails to management do not constitute valid methods of termination.

- Your life story will be read aloud in front of a live studio audience.
8.2. SEA does not control your day to day mortal decisions. It merely waits, patiently, smirking!
ARTICLE IX: MISCELLANEOUS
9.1. Severability: If any clause of this Agreement is found unenforceable by any cosmic authority, the remaining clauses shall continue in full dramatic effect.
9.2. Amendments: Any changes to this Agreement must be approved in triplicate, stamped by Hells HR, lost for six centuries, then rediscovered in a dusty archive and ritualistically re signed.
