Aurora Oracle™ Terms of Use, Privacy Policy & Legal Disclaimer

1.1 "Application" means auroraoracle.ai and any related websites, apps, interfaces, content, data, features, and functionality, including the components defined below.

1.2 "Provider" means Aurora Oracle Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and operating the Application as a software and digital-content business, together with its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, parent, successors, assigns, licensors, AI-model suppliers, and data suppliers.

1.3 "AI Content" means any horoscope, reading, interpretation, forecast, tarot or oracle output, astrological chart or commentary, numerology output, compatibility analysis, or other text, audio, image, or video generated in whole or in part by artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, or large-language-model systems, whether or not labeled as such at the point of display.

1.4 "Readings" means any AI Content presented in a psychic-style, astrological, tarot, numerological, or similar stylistic format. "Psychic-style" describes a content format only and does not mean the Application provides psychic services.

1.5 "User" means any individual accessing or using the Application, whether or not they have created an Account.

1.6 "Account Holder" means a User who has completed the affirmative clickwrap assent described in §15 and authenticated to create or access a Aurora Oracle™ Account, including through Google or Microsoft SSO. SSO authentication alone does not create an Account or acceptance of these Terms.

1.7 "Premium Services" means paid features, including premium horoscopes, personalized Readings, subscription tiers, credit packs, and one-time report purchases, as described at the point of purchase. Premium Services are NOT offered at launch and no payment functionality is enabled; see §6A.0.

1.8 "Free Reading" means the single AI mini reading available to a new Account without charge, as described in §12A.1.

1.9 "User Inputs" means any information you submit to generate AI Content, including birth date, birth time, birthplace, questions, and free-text prompts.

1.10 "Identity Provider" means Google LLC or Microsoft Corporation, each acting as an independent OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect identity provider.

1.11 "Sanctioned Person" means any individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled by, a person or entity (a) listed on any sanctions list maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, the United Kingdom (HM Treasury), or Canada (Global Affairs); or (b) located, organized, or resident in any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions.

1.12 "Material Change" has the meaning set forth in §23.2.

2.1 ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. ALL CONTENT ON THE APPLICATION, INCLUDING ALL READINGS, HOROSCOPES, AND PREMIUM SERVICES, IS PROVIDED STRICTLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AMUSEMENT, CURIOSITY, AND SELF-REFLECTION PURPOSES ONLY. Provider makes no claim — and expressly disclaims any claim, representation, or implication — that any Reading involves supernatural ability, psychic power, clairvoyance, mediumship, communication with deceased persons, prediction of future events, occult influence, spiritual healing, or the removal or imposition of curses, hexes, or spells. Any statement within AI Content that appears to predict the future, describe hidden knowledge, or communicate with spirits is a fictional, stylistic artifact of generative AI and has no factual, scientific, or supernatural basis. You should engage with Readings exactly as you would a film, novel, or other work of fiction: an entertainment experience enjoyed with willingly suspended disbelief, carrying no claim to truth and no invitation to act on it. This §2.1 is a material term: Provider offers the Application only on the basis that Readings are entertainment, and Users accept them solely on that basis, including for purposes of statutes regulating fortune-telling for compensation (e.g., N.Y. Penal Law §165.35 and analogous state, provincial, and municipal provisions, which exempt performances solely for entertainment or amusement accompanied by disclosure to that effect; this paragraph constitutes that disclosure).

2.2 AI DISCLOSURE — NO HUMAN PSYCHICS. All Readings and horoscopes are generated by artificial-intelligence systems. Unless a feature is expressly and specifically labeled as involving a live human practitioner, no human psychic, astrologer, medium, or advisor participates in, reviews, or endorses any Reading. You acknowledge that you are interacting with a machine, that AI outputs are probabilistic text generation and may be inaccurate, inconsistent, fabricated ("hallucinated"), or repeated across Users, and that apparent personalization does not imply insight. This disclosure is made in satisfaction of applicable AI-transparency requirements, including EU Regulation 2024/1689 (AI Act) Art. 50, the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17941 (bot disclosure), and analogous laws.

2.3 NO ACCURACY OR EFFICACY CLAIM; SAFETY LIMITS. Provider does not claim and has never claimed that any Content is accurate, effective, predictive, or fit for any particular purpose, and no marketing, price, or feature label should be read as such a claim. The Application is designed, configured, and instructed to avoid generating AI Content that purports to predict death, terminal or serious illness, pregnancy outcomes, disaster, or similar events, or that provides medical, mental-health, legal, tax, or financial advice, and Provider applies safety filtering toward that end; Provider does not, however, guarantee that automated systems will never fail, asks that you report any such output so Provider can block, review, and remediate the category using commercially reasonable measures, and asks that you not rely on any such output. The entertainment-only character of the Application does not exempt Provider from, and Provider does not seek to disclaim, obligations under laws prohibiting deceptive or unfair practices (including FTC Act §5 and analogous consumer-protection and platform rules); this section is intended to describe the product honestly, not to promise outcomes.

You covenant that you will not rely on any Content for any real-world decision, including decisions relating to health, mental health, pregnancy, medication, diagnosis or treatment, relationships, marriage or divorce, parenting or custody, employment, education, travel, immigration, litigation, finances, investments, gambling, lotteries, insurance, real estate, or personal safety. Content is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, mental-health professional, lawyer, financial advisor, or other licensed professional. You agree not to use Content as professional advice or as the basis for real-world decisions. Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any claim for fraud, fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation, deceptive or unfair practices, statutory consumer-protection violations, personal injury, public injunctive relief, or any other right that cannot be waived by contract.

The Application is not a crisis, counseling, suicide-prevention, or emergency service and is not monitored by any human being. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or harm to others, a medical emergency, abuse, or any crisis, immediately stop using the Application and contact local emergency services (911 in North America, 112 in the EU) or a crisis line (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S. and Canada; Samaritans 116 123 in the U.K. and Ireland). The Application is not monitored by clinicians and is not an emergency service; Provider will maintain reasonable automated safeguards designed to route apparent self-harm, imminent-harm, abuse, or medical-emergency inputs to crisis-resource messaging and to avoid generating responsive advice. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death, personal injury, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any duty that cannot be disclaimed by law.

(a) I Ching. The I Ching feature is a guided entertainment ritual: YOU perform the physical coin tosses and enter the number of heads for each of the six lines, and the derivation of your hexagram (line values, changing lines, primary and resulting hexagrams) is performed by deterministic software following the classical three-coin method, with hexagram names, judgments, and line texts drawn from public-domain English translations (Wilhelm and Legge) — a lookup that involves no artificial intelligence and makes no claim of accuracy, prediction, or supernatural insight; any optional AI "glimpse" or personal interpretation of your question and cast is AI Content under §1.3, is fiction-framed entertainment governed by §§2.1-2.3 and §2A, and is not divination, prophecy, or advice, and the random outcome of coin tosses cannot reveal future events. (b) Feng shui tools. The Kua-number calculator, interactive bagua map, and annual flying-stars pages are provided solely as decor, arrangement, and lifestyle inspiration for entertainment and self-reflection; they are NOT architectural, engineering, structural, building-code, safety, health, medical, psychological, legal, tax, financial, or investment advice, Provider makes no claim that following any tip will produce wealth, health, luck, romance, safety, or any other outcome, each such tip carries the in-product notice "Decor inspiration only — not architectural, safety, or professional advice," and you must not rely on these tools for any decision affecting the safety, habitability, structure, or value of any property (see §2A). (c) Tarot & Magic 8-Ball. The one-card daily tarot pull and the Magic 8-Ball are games and amusement surfaces whose card meanings and answers (including pre-generated "mystic mode" answers) are drawn from static libraries and are random or pre-written novelty content for fun only, carrying no predictive, factual, or advisory meaning. (d) Astrology, birth charts, BaZi & Vedic/Jyotish. The natal/birth-chart, BaZi (Chinese Four Pillars / zodiac), and Vedic (Jyotish) features collect and process your birth date, time, and place to compute planetary and calendrical positions; that ephemeris/astronomical computation is real astronomy performed by deterministic software and is accurate as a calculation only. Everything derived from it — chart interpretations, forecasts, compatibility, pillars, dashas, and any AI commentary — is fiction-framed entertainment governed by §§2.1-2.3 and §2A, is not prediction, divination, or professional advice, and must not be relied on; birth data is processed transiently, without storage, under the explicit-consent terms of §14.1. Numerology outputs are likewise novelty entertainment. (e) Cultural acknowledgment. The I Ching (Zhouyi), feng shui, and BaZi originate in Chinese philosophy and living cultural traditions, and Vedic astrology (Jyotish) originates in Indian tradition; Provider presents AI-assisted and deterministic entertainment adaptations of these traditions and does not offer, and must not be understood as offering, authentic traditional practice, professional consulting, or lineage teaching, and claims no endorsement by or affiliation with any tradition, school, or teacher, while aiming to credit these origins respectfully on its "About" and cultural-acknowledgment pages.

THE APPLICATION AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR THAT AI CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, PERSONALIZED, CONSISTENT, OR EFFECTIVE FOR ANY PURPOSE. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion of statutory consumer guarantees; in such jurisdictions the foregoing exclusions apply only to the maximum extent permitted, any non-excludable warranty is limited in duration to the shortest period permitted by law, and nothing in this §3 limits the non-excludable rights preserved in §6B.

Nothing in the Application constitutes medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic, legal, tax, accounting, investment, insurance, veterinary, or other professional advice, and no professional-client, physician-patient, therapist-client, or attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Application. Provider is not a licensed healthcare provider, counselor, or advisor of any kind. AI Content touching on wellness, mood, relationships, or life events is entertainment commentary only within the meaning of §2.1.

Nothing in these Terms or your use of the Application creates any fiduciary, advisory, confidential, or special relationship between you and Provider.

Subject to §6.1 and §6B below, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Provider's aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Application shall not exceed the greater of: (a) fifty U.S. dollars ($50); or (b) the fees you paid to Provider in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including emotional distress, lost profits, lost opportunities, or decisions made or not made in reliance on Content in breach of §2A.

6.1 CARVE-OUTS. Nothing in §6 limits liability for: (a) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (b) willful misconduct or gross negligence; (c) death or personal injury caused by Provider's negligence; or (d) any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, Cal. Civ. Code §1668, Quebec Civil Code arts. 1474–1475, EU/UK consumer law, the Australian Consumer Law, and analogous provisions).

6A.0 FREE-ONLY LAUNCH; BILLING PROVISIONS DORMANT. As of the Effective Date, Provider does not offer any Premium Services, subscriptions, credit packs, one-off reports, or other paid features, and no payment functionality is enabled in the Application; Provider does not collect, request, or store payment card or other payment information, and no charge of any kind is made for use of the Application. Sections 6A.1–6A.11 and 6B are included for transparency only as a pre-disclosed, maximum-protection framework stating the consumer protections that WILL govern paid features if paid features are ever offered; they do not authorize any charge or paid service, do not bind any consumer to purchase anything, and do not constitute pre-given consent to any charge. Before any paid feature is enabled, Provider must publish updated Terms with then-current paid-service terms, give 30 days' Material Change notice to Account Holders and require their affirmative re-acceptance under §23.2, and, for every user, obtain fresh point-of-sale billing, auto-renewal, and withdrawal-waiver disclosure and express consent under §§6A.1–6A.3 and 6B at the first purchase before any charge. Until that time: (a) all references in these Terms to fees, prices, purchases, subscriptions, credits, auto-renewal, refunds, billing descriptors, and withdrawal waivers are prospective only and create no present payment obligation or offer to sell; (b) because no fees have been paid, the liability cap in §6 equals fifty U.S. dollars ($50); (c) Provider will provide notice and obtain affirmative re-acceptance under §23.2 (Material Change) before the first paid feature goes live; and (d) any website, person, or service purporting to charge for access to the Application is unauthorized and unaffiliated with Provider and should be reported through the Contact & Legal Notices form in the Application.

6A.0.1 COMING-SOON FEATURES; INTEREST REGISTRATION (NOT AN OFFER TO SELL). The Application displays certain premium surfaces (including personal I Ching interpretation, AI feng-shui room analysis by photo, multi-card tarot spreads, personalized horoscopes, and an Oracle chat) in a greyed-out, non-functional "Coming soon" state. These surfaces are demand research only and do NOT constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer, a pre-order, a reservation, or any commitment. No prices are shown, no orders are taken, no payment method is requested, and no payment information is collected or stored; there are no countdown timers, no "limited spots," and no scarcity or urgency language. Each surface presents a single interest button (e.g., "Notify me" / "I'd use this") that, when clicked, records an anonymous interest event and, only if you choose, an optional email address so Provider may notify you if the feature ever launches. Registering interest creates no obligation on either party: it is not a promise to build, launch, price, or provide any feature; Provider may modify, delay, or never launch any coming-soon feature, and you owe nothing and may withdraw your interest or optional email at any time. You may not rely on any coming-soon label as a representation that a feature will become available or available at any particular price or time. If and when any such feature launches as a paid feature, it will do so only under §6A.0 (Material Change notice) and the disclosures in §§6A.1–6A.11; optional emails collected here are handled under §14.

6A.1 Paid Features & Fee Disclosure. Provider offers Premium Services at prices, features, and billing intervals disclosed clearly and conspicuously at the point of purchase, immediately adjacent to the payment button and before you pay. The price, billing frequency, renewal term, cancellation method, taxes/fees, and any trial or introductory-price conversion terms displayed immediately adjacent to the purchase button are incorporated into these Terms for that purchase, and Provider will not charge any amount or renewal frequency unless the same amount and frequency were clearly and conspicuously disclosed immediately before you clicked the final purchase button and were included in the order-confirmation email. No current paid-service prices exist because paid features are not offered at launch. Prices will be disclosed only if paid features are later launched, in updated Terms and immediately adjacent to the purchase button before payment. If point-of-sale pricing differs, Provider will update these Terms before presenting them to consumers and will not charge any price or renewal frequency unless it is clearly disclosed immediately before purchase and included in the order-confirmation email. All fees are stated in the applicable currency and are not buried, obscured, or presented through dark patterns.

6A.2 Express Consent to Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until cancelled. Before you are charged, Provider will disclose, clearly and conspicuously, the auto-renewal terms, the recurring price, the billing frequency, and the cancellation mechanism, and will obtain your separate affirmative (opt-in) consent to those terms, in accordance with the U.S. Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (15 U.S.C. §§8401–8405), Section 5 of the FTC Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17600 et seq. (California ARL), and analogous laws.

6A.3 Easy Cancellation. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period, through your Account settings using an online mechanism at least as simple as, and through the same medium as, sign-up. Provider will not require phone calls, retention agents, or extra steps to cancel, and will confirm cancellation electronically.

6A.4 Renewal Reminders & Free Trials. For annual subscriptions, and for any free trial or introductory price that converts to a paid plan, Provider will send an advance reminder before the renewal or first post-trial charge disclosing the date and amount of the upcoming charge and how to cancel. Provider will disclose the conversion date and post-trial price before you enroll.

6A.5 Price Changes. Provider may change Premium pricing prospectively only, with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice to Account Holders by email. The notice will state the new price and effective date and how to cancel. Where required by law, Provider will obtain the Account Holder's affirmative consent to the increase before charging the increased amount; if affirmative consent is not obtained, Provider will either continue the prior price through the then-current term or cancel the subscription at the end of the paid period without penalty. Continued use alone will not authorize a higher recurring charge where affirmative consent is required, and you may cancel before any change takes effect without penalty.

6A.6 Refunds & Goodwill. Except where a refund or cancellation right is required by law, purchases are final; however, Provider does not apply a blanket "no refunds" rule and may grant goodwill refunds or credits at its discretion. Mandatory statutory refund, cancellation, and withdrawal rights are unaffected and are addressed in §6B. This §6A.6 does not limit your rights regarding unused credits (§6A.9) or your consumer guarantees (§6B).

6A.7 Taxes; Payment Processing; Billing Descriptor. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated. Payments are processed by third-party processors; Provider does not store full card numbers. Your statement will show a billing descriptor identifying Aurora Oracle (e.g., "Aurora Oracle* auroraoracle.ai"), the name under which Aurora Oracle Ltd. operates, so charges are recognizable and disputes are minimized.

6A.8 Charge Disputes. Nothing in these Terms limits your right to dispute a charge with your card issuer, payment provider, bank, regulator, or court. Provider may suspend only the disputed paid feature to prevent duplicate consumption while a dispute is pending, will not treat a good-faith charge dispute as a breach, and may contest disputes only with truthful records (including the acceptance and usage logs described in §15).

6A.9 Virtual Credits. Purchased credits are prepaid digital value redeemable for specified in-app AI Content while your Account remains open. Purchased credits do not expire while the Account is active. Upon Account closure by you, or upon Provider-initiated termination not caused by fraud, chargeback abuse, or material breach, Provider will keep unused purchased credits available through reactivation, Provider-offered transfer or equivalent redemption options, or refund at the original purchase price paid, for at least five (5) years from purchase, or longer where required by law. Provider may offer an immediate refund at closure, but failure to request a refund within 90 days will not cause purchased credits or their redemption value to be forfeited. Provider will not revoke or claw back purchased unused credits except for fraud, mistaken issuance, or legal requirement. Any longer redemption or refund period, and any non-waivable statutory gift-card or prepaid-access right, is preserved where applicable law so requires. Promotional or complimentary credits (not purchased for cash) have no cash value and are non-refundable.

6A.10 Post-Enrollment Acknowledgment & Reminder Windows. Immediately after enrollment, Provider will send a retainable acknowledgment email stating the subscription price, billing frequency, auto-renewal terms, cancellation policy, how to cancel online, customer-support contact, any trial or introductory-price end date, and withdrawal/refund rights where applicable. For annual plans, Provider will send renewal reminders no earlier than forty-five (45) days and no later than fifteen (15) days before renewal, or within any stricter window required by the consumer's law. Provider will retain proof of the disclosure, consent, acknowledgment, reminder, and cancellation path used for each purchase.

6A.11 App-Store Purchases. Provider intends to sell Premium Services directly (web billing via its third-party payment processor). If any purchase is instead made through a third-party app store (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play), that store's billing, auto-renewal, cancellation, and refund rules control for that purchase to the extent they conflict with §§6A.3, 6A.6, 6A.9, or 10A, and you must manage or cancel such purchases through that store.

6B.1 Non-Excludable Rights Carve-Out. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy you have under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be excluded by contract, including consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (Competition and Consumer Act 2010, Sch. 2), rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, and rights under EU consumer directives and your local implementing laws. Where such laws apply, the disclaimers and limitations in §§3, 6, and 6A apply only to the extent permitted, and your statutory remedies prevail over any conflicting term.

6B.2 EU/UK Right of Withdrawal. Consumers in the EU and UK ordinarily have a 14-day right to withdraw from distance purchases (Directive 2011/83/EU; UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).

6B.3 Immediate-Performance Waiver Mechanics. For digital content and Readings delivered immediately (including reports and any credit redemption), Provider will, before purchase, request that you (a) give express prior consent to Provider beginning performance during the withdrawal period, and (b) acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal once performance has begun, consistent with Directive 2011/83/EU art. 16(m) and CJEU Case C-641/19. Provider will confirm your consent and acknowledgment on a durable medium (your order-confirmation email). If you do not give this consent, delivery is deferred until the withdrawal period expires or you request earlier delivery.

6B.4 No Void Blanket Exclusions. Provider does not rely on any "all sales final / no refunds" term to the extent it would be void or unenforceable in your jurisdiction (including the EU, UK, and Australia).

You assume ordinary risks arising from your voluntary entertainment use of the Application and from decisions you make contrary to the no-reliance covenant in §2A. Nothing in this §7 limits, waives, or shifts responsibility for Provider's fraud, deceptive or unfair practices, negligent safety design or operation, failure to maintain the safeguards described in §2B, death, personal injury, emotional-distress claims that cannot be waived by law, statutory consumer-protection claims, public injunctive relief, or any non-excludable right preserved in §§2A, 2B, 6.1, or 6B.

8.1 USER INDEMNITY. For consumer Users, indemnity applies only to third-party claims (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) finally determined by a court, or admitted in settlement, to have been caused by the User's knowing unlawful conduct, willful infringement, fraud, or material breach of §12 (Prohibited Uses) or §12A (Fair Use). Provider will control the defense only with the User's reasonable participation, and no settlement may impose any non-monetary obligation on the User without the User's consent. This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from Provider's AI outputs, product design, billing practices, privacy practices, or the User's exercise of consumer or review rights. Non-consumer/business Users additionally indemnify Provider for any breach of these Terms, violation of third-party rights, or violation of export-control, sanctions, or anti-bribery laws. To the extent any provision of this §8.1 is found unenforceable as applied to a consumer (including under Cal. Civ. Code §§1668, 1670.5), it shall be reformed to the maximum extent enforceable and the remainder shall remain in effect.

8.2 PROVIDER IP INDEMNITY. Provider agrees to indemnify and defend you against any third-party claim that the Application, as provided by Provider, infringes a U.S. or Canadian patent, copyright, or trademark, subject to the limitation amount in §6.

Readings are generated using third-party AI models and infrastructure. Provider does not control and is not responsible for the training data, behavior, availability, or outputs of third-party models. Astrological and ephemeris data, if any, is sourced from third parties and provided without verification. The act of formatting, styling, or personalizing AI outputs does not constitute verification, adoption, endorsement, or independent representation of accuracy, and nothing in this §9 waives or limits any claim for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, deceptive or unfair practices, statutory consumer-protection violations, or any other right that cannot be waived by contract (see §6B). Provider engages AI-model suppliers only under written data-processing agreements that prohibit the use of User Inputs to train, fine-tune, or improve their models (see Annex B and §14.2).

While Content is provided as-is and without warranty, Provider is committed to good-faith safety filtering and quality and welcomes reports of harmful or offensive AI outputs through the Contact page. Reported outputs will be triaged in the ordinary course. Except for the specific safeguard commitments in §2B and any obligations imposed by applicable law, this content-quality commitment is aspirational, creates no warranty or service-level commitment, and does not make Provider a professional adviser, crisis service, or guarantor of AI outputs.

Provider has no obligation to update, correct, supplement, or maintain any Content or feature.

Provider may terminate or suspend your access (including any Account) at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, except that Provider will provide a thirty (30) day data-export window where reasonably practicable and will refund the prorated unused portion of prepaid Premium fees where termination is not for your breach. You may terminate your Account at any time per Annex C and §14C.

Provider may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the Application, in whole or in part, at any time. If Provider permanently discontinues a paid feature that you have prepaid and the loss is material to that purchase, Provider will refund the prorated unused portion of the prepaid period for that feature (or provide an equivalent credit at your election). This §10B does not limit your rights under §6B or §10A.

11.1 Provider IP. All Application content, software, trademarks, and trade dress are owned by Provider or its licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Application for personal, non-commercial use. Open-source components are governed by their applicable licenses, which control over these Terms with respect to such components.

11.2 Your Readings. Subject to and effective upon your payment (for paid Readings) or generation (for free Readings), Provider assigns to you all right, title, and interest it may have in the specific Readings generated for you, so that you own that output, provided that: (a) you grant Provider a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license back to host, store, process, reproduce, and display those Readings solely as necessary to operate, secure, support, and provide the Application to you (including your Reading history); (b) you covenant not to resell, sublicense, bulk-redistribute, or commercially exploit the Readings, and not to represent AI Content as human-authored psychic work or as genuine supernatural knowledge; and (c) the Readings are provided on an as-is basis with no warranty of any kind (see §3). This assignment does not transfer any rights in the Application, Provider's software, models, prompts, or trademarks, which remain owned by Provider or its licensors under §11.1.

11.3 User Inputs. You grant Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process User Inputs solely to generate Readings, operate and secure the Application, and, only after irreversible anonymization to GDPR standards or with a separate valid opt-in consent where required, to perform internal service analytics and improvement, subject to §14.1 and Annex D. Provider does not use, and does not permit its AI-model suppliers to use, User Inputs to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. You represent you have the right to submit any information you provide about third parties, and you will not submit third-party personal data without authority.

11.4 Feedback License. If you submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, or reports of harmful outputs, you grant Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback solely to operate, secure, support, evaluate, and improve the Application and remediate reported issues. This license does not override the Privacy Policy, deletion rights, consent withdrawals, no-AI-training commitments, or restrictions on sensitive personal information. Provider may use feedback containing personal or sensitive data only as permitted by §14 and applicable law, and may use such feedback for broader product improvement only after irreversible anonymization or with a valid separate lawful basis.

11.5 DMCA Notice-and-Takedown. Provider respects intellectual-property rights and has registered a designated agent under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). Notices of claimed infringement, and counter-notices, must be submitted through the Contact & Legal Notices form in the Application (select "Copyright / DMCA"). A valid notice must include the elements required by §512(c)(3). Provider will remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

11.6 Beta Features. Features labeled beta, preview, trial, experimental, or "labs" are provided as-is and as-available, may change, malfunction, or be withdrawn at any time without notice, carry no service-level or quality commitment, and are excluded from any commitment in §9A; any charge for a beta feature applies only on express conversion to a paid feature with the disclosures in §6A.

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party acting on your behalf to: (a) scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically download Content (whether by manual means, automated agents, headless browsers, or otherwise); (b) circumvent the click-gate, paywall, rate limits, fair-use caps, age gate, safety filters, or any technical protection measure, including via prompt injection or jailbreaking; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, prompts, or model weights; (d) resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit Content in bulk; (e) use the Application or any Content to develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model (except under a separate written license from Provider); (f) use Content to create a substitute or competing product or service; (g) impersonate any person or SSO identity, or create multiple or fraudulent Accounts to evade limits (see §12A); (h) submit unlawful, infringing, defamatory, deceptive, or harassing content, or use the Application to harass, stalk, defraud, or manipulate any person, including presenting Readings to third parties as genuine supernatural knowledge or using them to solicit money; (i) use the Application to make or communicate eligibility, employment, credit, insurance, housing, or similar decisions about any person; (j) use the Application if you are a Sanctioned Person or in violation of export-control, sanctions, or anti-bribery laws; or (k) use the Application for any other unlawful purpose.

12A.1 Usage Limits (Free Product). The Application is free, and access to AI Content is subject to fair-use limits that reflect the Application's LLM costs and are disclosed in-product: (a) the deterministic and static features (I Ching casting and hexagram texts, Kua calculator, bagua and flying-stars pages, daily/weekly/monthly horoscopes, tarot pull, classic Magic 8-Ball, numerology) are available without an Account, and the birth-chart/BaZi/Vedic calculators are available without an Account once you provide birth data under the §14.1 consent gate; (b) live AI Content is limited to one (1) short AI "glimpse" per Account (the "Free Reading"), gated to signed-in Users and subject to a per-response token cap (currently 250 tokens); and (c) Provider applies reasonable per-Account, per-IP, and per-device rate limits and signup captcha to all AI endpoints and to compute-bearing surfaces, including the free birth-chart/natal, BaZi, and Vedic/Jyotish ephemeris calculators. Provider may adjust these limits prospectively with notice.

12A.2 Prohibited Abuse. You shall not exceed or attempt to circumvent these limits, including by botting or automation, creating multiple or duplicate Accounts, sharing or reselling Account access, prompt-injection or jailbreaking, or reselling or bulk-redistributing AI outputs.

12A.3 Enforcement. Provider may throttle, suspend, or terminate Accounts, invalidate or claw back abusively obtained Content or credits, and pursue any remedy at law or equity (including under §17.7) for violations of this §12A, in a manner proportionate to the conduct and consistent with your non-excludable consumer rights.

12A.4 Spend-Cap Graceful Degradation. Provider operates the AI features under a hard monthly LLM spend cap. When the cap is reached, or during maintenance or supplier outages, AI features may be temporarily paused and display a message such as "The Oracle is resting — try tomorrow," while deterministic and static features continue to work. This graceful degradation is an intended cost-control and availability feature, is consistent with the "as is / as available" basis of §3, and does not constitute a service failure, breach, or defect, and gives rise to no refund (no fees are charged) or other claim. Without limiting §12(a), you also shall not scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download, or systematically copy the hexagram library, card and 8-Ball meanings, feng-shui content, horoscope archive, or any other Content library, whether by automated agents, headless browsers, or otherwise.

The Application is intended for adults 18 and over, and every page carries an "18+" notice in the footer alongside the entertainment disclaimer. The deterministic and static tools (I Ching casting and hexagram texts, Kua calculator, bagua and flying-stars pages, daily tarot pull, and Magic 8-Ball) may be used anonymously without an Account; accordingly, the following representations and warranties are made by, and attach to, each User at the point of Account creation through the clickwrap assent in §15, and are also deemed made by any User who requests live AI Content: (a) you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have full legal capacity to contract; (b) you are not a Sanctioned Person; (c) all registration information you provide is accurate; and (d) you understand and accept the entertainment-only character of the Application per §2. The Application is not directed to minors, and Provider does not permit Users under 18 to create Accounts or request live AI Content. Provider will use an age-gate at Account creation and will block or terminate any Account or AI Content request when the age-gate response indicates the User is under 18; upon discovery, Provider will delete the minor's personal information except as legally required (see Annex G). Because no payment functionality exists at launch, references to payment information and Premium Services in this §13 are prospective and apply only if and when paid features are enabled under §6A.0.

This launch is designed to collect almost no personal data, and anonymous use is fully supported: the deterministic and static tools work without an Account and without server-side storage of your inputs. In particular, the Kua-number calculator uses only birth YEAR and gender, processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to or stored by Provider. The birth-chart/natal, BaZi, and Vedic/Jyotish features DO collect your birth date, time, and place at launch to compute an ephemeris; this special-category birth data is processed only on your explicit, granular consent under §14.1 and is NEVER STORED — it is held transiently in memory solely to compute your chart, is discarded immediately after your reading is generated, and is not written to any server-side database, log, backup, or analytics system (§14.1). Provider does NOT accept photo uploads (that feature is dormant, see §14.1), does NOT collect precise/GPS geolocation, and does NOT collect or store any payment information (none exists). Accounts are OPTIONAL (email or Google SSO) and are needed to save reading history and streaks and to use the one free AI glimpse; anonymous use of tools that do not require birth data is supported. For Users who choose to interact, Provider may process: (a) birth date, time, and place you enter for a birth chart/BaZi/Vedic reading, and any optional free-text question you submit to receive the one AI glimpse, each under the explicit-consent terms of §14.1; (b) Account data (email and, for SSO, name and Identity Provider identifier) where you create an Account; (c) reading/streak history for signed-in Users (reading text only — never your birth date, time, or place), which you may hard-delete one-click; (d) an optional email address for the newsletter or a coming-soon interest registration (§6A.0.1); (e) device and log data and approximate (IP-derived) region for security, rate-limiting, and legal-compliance; and (f) privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics that do not use cross-site tracking, advertising pixels, or ad cookies. Provider practices data minimization and collects only what is necessary for the purposes described. A standalone Privacy Policy, available at https://auroraoracle.ai/privacy and presented at or before collection (notice-at-collection), identifies for each processing purpose the categories of personal data, sources, lawful basis, purposes, retention period, recipient/subprocessor categories, international-transfer mechanism, user rights and request/verification/appeal methods, GPC/opt-out handling, and regulator/supervisory-authority contacts, and must match this minimal collection. Where the Privacy Policy and these Annexes conflict, the more protective of the User controls.

14.1 SENSITIVE & SPECIAL-CATEGORY DATA; EXPLICIT CONSENT (ACTIVE AT LAUNCH). At launch, Provider collects special-category birth data — birth date, birth time, and birthplace — for the birth-chart/natal, BaZi, and Vedic/Jyotish features, and Users may also submit optional free-text questions; such birth data and free text may constitute or reveal special-category or sensitive personal information under GDPR/UK GDPR Art. 9, the CCPA/CPRA ("sensitive personal information"), Quebec Law 25, and analogous laws, including data revealing religious or philosophical beliefs, health, or sex life. Where such laws apply, Provider processes this data solely on the basis of your explicit, separate, unambiguous, opt-in consent, captured by an unchecked control AT THE POINT OF BIRTH-DATA ENTRY (not buried in signup or these Terms) and immediately before the reading is generated, solely to compute and generate the requested reading, and — as a core design commitment — WITHOUT STORAGE: your birth date, time, and place are held transiently in memory only for the moment of computation, are discarded immediately after your reading is generated, and are never written to any server-side database, log, backup, or analytics system. For signed-in Users who opt in, reading history stores only the generated reading text — never your birth data. To obtain a further reading later, you simply re-enter your birth details; your own browser may optionally retain them locally on your device, under your sole control, and locally retained data is never transmitted to Provider for storage. Provider practices data minimization: birth data is never stored, is not required to browse or to use tools that do not need it, and you may withdraw consent at any time and one-click delete your readings and Account (effective prospectively); because birth data is not stored, there is no server-side birth data to delete. Before generating a birth-data reading, Provider will obtain separate unchecked consents for: (1) transient, non-stored processing of your birth date, time, and place to compute and generate the requested chart/reading; (2) processing any optional free-text prompt that may reveal sensitive data; and (3) storing your generated reading history (reading text only; never birth data). FREE-TEXT / AI-PROMPT CONSENT (ALL SURFACES): separately, before any optional free-text prompt or AI input on ANY surface that may include sensitive/special-category data — including the I Ching question, the free AI "glimpse," and any Oracle chat, whether or not tied to birth-data entry — Provider will either (a) block such fields and instruct Users not to enter sensitive data, or (b) present an unchecked, granular consent immediately adjacent to that specific prompt field and before submission, covering processing of that free text solely to generate the requested output, with any optional saved history consented to separately; this point-of-entry consent control fires before any AI prompt that accepts free text, not only birth-data readings. Provider does not sell or "share" sensitive or personal information, does not use it for advertising, profiling for advertising, or automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects, and honors CCPA/CPRA rights to limit the use of sensitive personal information, and will not use special-category data for product improvement unless it has been irreversibly anonymized to GDPR standards or another valid lawful basis applies. PHOTO-UPLOAD CONSENT — NON-OPERATIVE PREVIEW LANGUAGE: Provider does NOT accept photo uploads at launch; the consent mechanics for any future photographic feng-shui analysis (processing an uploaded image, which may include biometric or premises data) are non-operative preview language only and confer no authority to process any image. No photo processing may occur unless and until updated notice, Material Change re-acceptance where required under §23.2, and separate, unchecked, granular point-of-upload consent are live; today's assent does not pre-authorize any photo processing, and a future photo feature will capture fresh granular consent at that time. Enabling any photo feature is a Material Change under §23.2 and an independent re-verification gate in the pre-launch checklist.

14.1A UNIFIED BIRTH-DATA CONSENT (v7.4). One identical consent notice and unchecked consent control is presented at every point in the Application where birth information (birth date and, where requested, birth time, birthplace, birth year, or gender) is entered, immediately before the reading is generated. Checking that single control constitutes the explicit consent required by §14.1 for the one-time processing of the birth information entered on that screen, together with any text entered in the same flow, solely to compute and generate the requested reading. Birth information is not retained after the reading is generated, is never sold or shared with advertisers, and is never used to train AI models, per §14.1 and §14.2. Each consent is logged with a timestamp and version as a business record (Annex A). This §14.1A governs the presentation and grouping of the §14.1 consents; the no-storage, no-training, and no-sale commitments of §14.1 apply unchanged, and where this §14.1A and §14.1 differ on the number or grouping of consent controls, this §14.1A controls.

14.2 NO AI TRAINING; DPA. Provider does not use User Inputs, Readings, or personal data to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model, and requires each AI-model supplier and sub-processor, by written data-processing agreement, to be similarly prohibited and to act only on Provider's documented instructions (Annex B).

14.3 DATA RIGHTS & PORTABILITY. You may exercise rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability (including export of your saved Reading history in a machine-readable format; birth data is not stored and therefore cannot be exported), restriction, objection, and withdrawal of consent as set out in Annex C.

14.4 DPIA ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Provider acknowledges that processing of special-category data at scale may require a Data Protection Impact Assessment under GDPR Art. 35 and maintains one where required; the transient, no-storage processing design of §14.1 is a primary mitigation recorded in that assessment.

Provider processes only approximate (IP-derived) region for security, rate-limiting, localization, and legal-compliance purposes. Provider does NOT collect precise or GPS geolocation at launch, and no feature requests it.

Where applicable law of your residence (including GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, CCPA/CPRA, Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, and analogous statutes) grants rights or imposes requirements beyond these Terms, those laws control to the extent of the conflict. Where personal data is transferred internationally, Provider relies on lawful transfer mechanisms, including the EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, together with supplementary measures where required. Region-specific disclosures (legal bases, transfer mechanisms, and supervisory-authority contacts) are set out in Annexes B–C.

Accounts are optional; the deterministic and static tools may be used anonymously, and Provider does not require sign-in to browse or to use them. Upon optional SSO sign-in via an Identity Provider, Provider receives your name, email, and Identity Provider identifier; Provider does not receive your password. For Account Holders, Provider logs only the functional data necessary to operate the Application and enforce fair-use limits under §12A (security, rate-limiting, feature-usage counts, the one-glimpse counter, and streak/history you choose to save). Product analytics are privacy-friendly and aggregate only: no cross-site tracking, no advertising pixels, and no third-party ad cookies; AI prompts are recorded only as anonymized counters, not as content, except for the signed-in User's own saved reading history. You may delete your Account and all associated data at any time via a one-click "Delete my data & account" control in settings (hard delete), subject only to retention required by law (Annex E).

To the extent session-replay, chat-logging, or similar tools are used, they are disclosed here and activated only with prior consent where required, including under the California Invasion of Privacy Act. Reading transcripts are stored to provide your history and may be deleted by you at any time.

Readings are, by their nature, automated generation of entertainment content. This processing does not produce legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of GDPR Art. 22 or Quebec Law 25 s. 12.1; you may nonetheless object or request human review by contacting the privacy officer through the Contact & Legal Notices form in the Application. Provider will update this section, with prior notice and opt-out where required by law, if processing producing such effects is ever introduced.

In the event of a security breach affecting your personal information, Provider will notify affected Users and applicable regulators in accordance with applicable law, including GDPR Art. 33 (72-hour regulator notification), Cal. Civ. Code §1798.82, NY SHIELD Act §899-aa, PIPEDA s. 10.1, and Quebec Law 25 s. 3.5.

Because Provider is a British Columbia company, all optional marketing or promotional emails (including the newsletter/daily-wisdom digest under §14 and any "notify me if this feature launches" interest email under §6A.0.1) are Commercial Electronic Messages and are sent only with your express, opt-in consent under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and analogous laws. (a) Express consent is captured by a separate, unchecked box or equivalent affirmative action; it is never bundled with, or a condition of, acceptance of these Terms or creation of an Account. (b) At the point of consent Provider identifies the sender (Aurora Oracle Ltd.), provides, within the message itself, the sender identification, mailing address, and working contact mechanism that CASL requires, and states the specific mailing purpose and scope. (c) Consent is scope-limited: registering interest in a coming-soon feature authorizes ONLY a one-time notification about that specific feature's launch, and does NOT sign you up for the newsletter or any other marketing unless you separately opt in to it; the newsletter and each feature-launch notice are separate, independently checked consents. (d) Where used, the newsletter uses double opt-in (a confirmation email verifying the request before any digest is sent). (e) Every CEM identifies Aurora Oracle Ltd. as sender, includes current contact information, and provides a working one-click unsubscribe honored promptly; you may withdraw consent at any time. (f) Transactional and service notices (e.g., Terms/Privacy changes, security, account, and billing communications) are not marketing, are governed by §15, and are kept separate from these commercial messages.

You agree that: (a) no Account is created and no Premium purchase is completed unless you affirmatively check an unchecked box or click a button immediately adjacent to conspicuous links stating "I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge the Privacy Notice"; SSO authentication alone does not constitute acceptance unless the same screen includes that statement and affirmative action, and such affirmative action constitutes a valid electronic signature under the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001), UETA, and equivalent Canadian and EU legislation; (a-1) before obtaining your consent to electronic notices, Provider will present a separate E-SIGN disclosure stating hardware/software requirements, how to withdraw consent, whether withdrawal affects access, how to update your email, and how to request paper copies, and will obtain a separate affirmative consent; Provider will not rely on this §15 alone where E-SIGN or local law requires separate consent; (b) subject to (a-1), you consent to electronic delivery of these Terms, the Privacy Annexes, billing, renewal-reminder, and price-change notices, modification notices, and all other notices otherwise required in writing, including confirmations on a durable medium under §6B.3; and (c) the Application's acceptance log (timestamp, Terms version, hashed IP, user agent, and, for Account Holders, Account ID, SSO provider, and purchase, auto-renewal, and withdrawal-waiver consents) is admissible as a business record evidencing your acceptance and purchase authorizations.

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or the Application (including non-contractual claims), are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles and expressly excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, except that mandatory consumer-protection laws of your state, province, or country of residence apply where they cannot be displaced by contract. Provider is a British Columbia, Canada company; the Application is operated from, and these Terms are entered into in, Vancouver, British Columbia.

17.1 Agreement to Arbitrate — Exclusive Forum. You and Provider agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Application, any Content, or any purchase (including non-contractual, statutory, and tort claims, and disputes about the scope or enforceability of this §17) shall be resolved exclusively through the staged process in this §17 — good-faith negotiation, then mandatory mediation, then final and binding individual arbitration — and not in any court. Neither party may commence or maintain any court action against the other except as expressly permitted by §17.7 (interim measures and enforcement) or §17.9 (non-waivable statutory claims).

17.2 Step One — Informal Negotiation. Before commencing mediation or arbitration, the complaining party must send a written notice of dispute (through the Contact & Legal Notices form in the Application or, for notices from Provider to you, to your account email) describing the claim and the relief sought. The parties shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days from receipt.

17.3 Step Two — Mandatory Mediation. If the dispute is not resolved by negotiation, either party may commence, and both parties must participate in, mediation administered by the Vancouver International Arbitration Centre ("VanIAC") under its mediation rules, seated in Vancouver, British Columbia, with the mediator's fees paid by Provider for consumer disputes. At your election, mediation shall be conducted by videoconference. Mediation is a condition precedent to arbitration unless both parties agree in writing to waive it or the mediation is not completed within sixty (60) days of commencement through no fault of the initiating party.

17.4 Step Three — Binding Individual Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved by mediation shall be finally resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by VanIAC under its applicable arbitration rules (or, if VanIAC is unavailable, the ADR Institute of Canada under its Arbitration Rules), before a single arbitrator, seated in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the English language, under the Arbitration Act (British Columbia) or the International Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia) as applicable. At your election, all hearings shall be conducted by videoconference or, where the rules permit, decided on documents only, so you never need to travel to Canada. The arbitrator's award is final and binding and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, including under the New York Convention. The arbitrator, and not any court, has exclusive authority to resolve all disputes, including the interpretation, applicability, and enforceability of this §17, save only where applicable law reserves that question to a court.

17.5 Class-Action Waiver. You and Provider waive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, whether in arbitration or otherwise, except as provided in §17.9. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim. This waiver is severable from the remainder of §17 only to the extent necessary to preserve enforceability of the waiver itself; if it is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in the forum required by law, and the remainder of §17 shall remain in full force.

17.6 Jury-Trial Waiver. To the extent any dispute is heard in any court notwithstanding this §17, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury.

17.7 Arbitration Costs; Interim Measures; Enforcement. For consumer claims seeking CAD $15,000 or less, Provider will pay all VanIAC filing, administration, mediator, and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous or brought for an improper purpose; each party bears its own legal costs unless the arbitrator or applicable law provides otherwise. Either party may apply to the arbitrator — or, solely where the arbitral tribunal is not yet constituted or cannot act in time, to the Supreme Court of British Columbia — for interim or conservatory measures to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm (including, for Provider, breach of §12 or §12A, unauthorized scraping, or misuse of credentials); such application is not a waiver of this §17. Courts of competent jurisdiction may also be used solely to compel mediation or arbitration under this §17, to stay proceedings brought in breach of it, and to recognize and enforce mediated settlements and arbitral awards.

17.8 Mass-Arbitration Protocol. If twenty-five (25) or more substantially similar demands are filed against Provider within a 60-day window by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties shall first conduct bellwether arbitration of up to ten (10) representative cases, to be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of selection of the first bellwether case, with all applicable limitation periods tolled for all claimants from filing through thirty (30) days after the bellwether outcomes are communicated. If the bellwether phase is not completed within 180 days for reasons attributable to Provider, remaining claimants may proceed immediately to individual arbitration under §17.4.

17.9 Non-Waivable Statutory Claims — Limited Exception. Solely to the extent that applicable law prohibits mandatory arbitration of a particular claim and that prohibition cannot be displaced by contract — including, for British Columbia consumers, claims under section 172 of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act; for Ontario and Quebec consumers, claims preserved by their consumer-protection legislation; and, for U.S. consumers, claims for public injunctive relief or representative claims that applicable law makes non-arbitrable — that specific claim may proceed in the forum applicable law requires, and all other claims remain subject to this §17. This exception is to be construed as narrowly as applicable law permits.

17.10 Foreign-Forum Protection; No Attornment. The Application is operated from British Columbia, Canada, and is directed to no jurisdiction in particular; mere access to or use of the Application from the United States or any other jurisdiction does not constitute Provider doing business in, purposefully availing itself of, or consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) you agree not to commence any proceeding against Provider in any court of the United States or any other jurisdiction outside the process set out in this §17, and any such proceeding is brought in breach of this agreement; (b) Provider does not attorn, and shall not be deemed to have attorned, to the jurisdiction of any court by reason of your access or use, by content delivery, or by defending any proceeding brought in breach of this §17; (c) any permitted court application (§17.7, §17.9 enforcement matters) not reserved by law to another forum shall be brought exclusively in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, and both parties attorn to its exclusive jurisdiction for that limited purpose; and (d) Provider may recover its reasonable legal costs of staying, transferring, or dismissing any proceeding brought in breach of this §17, to the extent permitted by law. This clause does not limit any regulator's own authority or any right applicable law makes non-waivable.

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond reasonable control, including failure or degradation of third-party AI models or infrastructure.

You are free to post honest, non-confidential reviews and commentary about the Application. These Terms contain no non-disparagement, gag, or review-penalty provision, and any such provision, if ever asserted, is void and unenforceable under the U.S. Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. §45b) and analogous laws. Provider will not threaten, penalize, or bring any claim against you for a truthful review; this section does not authorize unlawful content (e.g., defamation, disclosure of another person's private data, or infringement).

Provider is committed to making the Application, purchase flow, cancellation flow, legal notices, and privacy-rights mechanisms accessible and targets WCAG 2.2 AA. Users who encounter accessibility barriers may use the Contact & Legal Notices form in the Application (select "Accessibility"), and Provider will provide an equally effective alternative method to access content, cancel subscriptions, exercise privacy rights, and obtain legal notices without additional fees or delay.

19.1 If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be so modified, severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of a provision in one jurisdiction does not affect its validity in any other jurisdiction.

19.2 Savings. No single provision of these Terms is intended to be, or shall be construed to be, so broad as to render the entire agreement unconscionable or void; each limitation, waiver, and disclaimer applies only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and is subject to the non-excludable rights preserved in §6B. The class-action waiver in §17.5 is severable as set forth in §17.5, and §17.9 governs non-waivable claims.

No waiver is effective unless in writing.

Provider may assign these Terms without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or corporate reorganization. You may not assign without Provider's written consent.

Sections 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6A.6–6A.11, 6B, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10B, 11, 12, 12A, 13, 14, 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E, 14F, 14G, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18A, 18B, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and Annex I survive termination.

23.1 These Terms, including the Annexes and any supplemental purchase terms, are the entire agreement between you and Provider regarding the Application. Where supplemental purchase terms conflict with these Terms, the supplemental terms control as to the subject matter addressed, except that these Terms and mandatory law control as to consumer rights.

23.2 Provider may modify these Terms. A "Material Change" is any change that expands data collection, increases fees, reduces refund or cancellation rights, narrows consumer protections, or materially reduces Provider's obligations or your rights. Provider will notify Account Holders by email at least thirty (30) days before a Material Change takes effect and require re-acceptance; continued use after non-material changes constitutes acceptance. Provider may not apply Material Changes retroactively or through mere silence.

These Terms are drafted in English; translations are provided for convenience and the English text controls to the extent permitted by law (in Quebec, the parties confirm their express wish that these Terms be drafted in English / les parties confirment leur volonté expresse que la présente convention soit rédigée en anglais).

All notices, requests, and communications to Provider — including legal and dispute notices under §17.2, privacy and data-rights requests under §14 and Annex C, accessibility requests under §18B, copyright/DMCA notices under §11.5, and general support — must be submitted through the Contact & Legal Notices form in the Application, which is linked in the footer of every page and offers a category for each request type. Provider will respond to your Account email or to the email address you provide in the form. Provider does not publish email addresses or a mailing address in these Terms; where applicable law requires a mailing address or other contact detail (for example, in commercial electronic messages), Provider provides it through the legally required channel.
