Terms of Service

1. Acceptance & Eligibility

By creating an account or using Lumina Pulse (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Account Registration & Security

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@luminapulseapp.com of any unauthorized access.

3. Subscriptions, Billing & Taxes

Lumina Pulse offers paid subscription plans billed in advance on an annual basis. By starting a paid plan you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method for the plan fee plus applicable taxes and a 3.5% compliance handling fee where shown at checkout. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless you cancel before renewal.

All fees are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated and are non-refundable except as expressly stated in Section 5 or as required by law.

4. Free Trial

New users may be offered a 7-day free trial that does not require a payment method up front. During the trial you receive access to the trial tier described at sign-up. At the end of the trial, access to premium features ends unless you start a paid subscription. We may modify or discontinue the trial at any time.

5. Cancellation & Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Billing screen. Cancellation stops future renewals; you retain access to paid features through the end of your current billing period. Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable. If you believe you were charged in error, contact support@luminapulseapp.com within 30 days.

6. Plan Changes

Upgrades take effect immediately and are pro-rated against your current term. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period unless we indicate otherwise at checkout.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract source code, data, or models from the Service.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or impose unreasonable load on the Service or its infrastructure.
• Post or transmit content that is abusive, defamatory, infringing, obscene, or violates the rights of others.
• Resell, sublicense, or share access to the Service without our written consent.
• Use automated means (bots, scripts) without our express permission.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of journal entries, community posts, and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant Lumina Pulse a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify, and display your User Content solely to operate and improve the Service. You are responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to submit it.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, text, graphics, logos, and content we provide (excluding User Content), is owned by Lumina Pulse or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.

10. Guidance Disclaimer

Lumina Pulse provides astrological and metaphysical content for reflective, educational, and entertainment purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Always seek the advice of a qualified professional regarding important decisions.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with or link to third-party services (e.g., payment processors, authentication providers). We are not responsible for those services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

12. Warranty Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LUMINA PULSE AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lumina Pulse and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

15. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably believe your conduct creates risk for the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8–10 and 12–18) will survive.

16. Modifications

We may modify these Terms or the Service from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by in-app notice or email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 18, the exclusive venue for any judicial action is the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

18. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will take place in Texas, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver: You and Lumina Pulse agree that Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@luminapulseapp.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any plan-specific terms presented at checkout, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lumina Pulse regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
