Terms of Use

1. The agreement

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and AuraSage, the independent developer of the AuraSage mobile application and this website (together, the "Service"). By installing, opening or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference and explains how information is handled.

2. Wellness content, not medical care

AuraSage provides short affirmations, reflective prompts and optional audio practice for general wellbeing. It is not a medical device, and nothing in the Service is medical, psychological, psychiatric, diagnostic or therapeutic advice.

The Service does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it must not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified health professional. Never disregard professional advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read in AuraSage.

AuraSage cannot detect or respond to an emergency. If you are in crisis, thinking about harming yourself, or facing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency number or a local crisis line immediately.

3. Eligibility

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live.
• If you are under the age of majority in your country, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf.
• You must not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law or under Google Play's terms.

4. Your licence to use AuraSage

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

• Do not copy, resell, sublicense, rent or distribute the app or its affirmation library.
• Do not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it.
• Do not scrape, bulk-export or republish the affirmation library or the quote collections on this website as your own content or dataset.
• Do not attempt to circumvent entitlement checks, interfere with the Service, or access it through automated means that place unreasonable load on it.
• Do not use the Service to harass anyone, to break the law, or in any way that would violate Google Play's Developer Programme Policies.

5. Content you create

Affirmations you write, collections you build, reflections you record and voice recordings you make are yours. You keep every right you already had in them, and we claim no ownership over them.

Because AuraSage is local-first, this content is stored on your device rather than on our servers. That means you control it, and it also means we cannot recover it for you if your device is lost, reset or damaged. Export anything you would be upset to lose.

If you use an optional writing assistant to rephrase something you wrote, the suggestion is offered as an alternative for you to accept or reject. Nothing is ever rewritten automatically, and generated text is not presented as therapeutic advice.

6. Our content and feedback

The AuraSage name, logo, interface design, curated affirmation library, editorial collections and the content of this website are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law.

If you send us a suggestion, feature idea or bug report, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it to improve the Service, without obligation to compensate you or to credit you publicly. We will not publish your name alongside feedback without asking you first.

7. Google Play and other third-party services

The app is distributed through Google Play, and any future in-app purchase is processed by Google Play Billing. Your relationship with Google is governed by Google's own terms and privacy policy, not by these Terms.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, pricing decisions or records of third-party services, and we cannot resolve a dispute that belongs to a platform provider.

8. Purchases, subscriptions and refunds

The core practice - your daily deck, favourites, custom affirmations, basic themes, basic widgets, reminders and Quick Reset - is free. If we offer an optional premium subscription, the following applies:

• Price, billing period, currency, applicable taxes and any free trial are shown before you confirm, and are charged to your Google Play payment method.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price until you cancel. Cancel at any time in the Subscriptions section of the Google Play Store, at least 24 hours before the next renewal date.
• Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period unless required by law.
• Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. You must cancel through Google Play.
• Refunds are handled by Google Play under Google's refund policy. We cannot issue a refund for a Google Play purchase directly, though we will help you understand your options.
• Restoring a purchase re-checks entitlement with Google Play. Restore Purchases is always available and is never placed behind a paywall.
• If we change subscription pricing, existing subscribers are notified through Google Play before the change takes effect and may cancel before renewal.

9. Availability and changes to the Service

We may add, change, suspend or discontinue features, and we may release updates that change how the app behaves. Software contains defects; updates can fail, and local data can be lost as a result of a bug, an operating-system change, or a device problem.

We may restrict or terminate access where it is necessary for security, to comply with law, or to stop a violation of these Terms. Where the restriction is not urgent, we will give reasonable notice.

Because the app is local-first, it is designed to keep working offline. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of any online component, including this website.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that affirmations will produce any particular emotional, psychological or life outcome, that notifications or widgets will be delivered at an exact moment, or that the Service will be error-free.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted by law, and your mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.

13. Your rights and resolving a dispute

You keep every right the consumer-protection law of your own country gives you. Nothing in these Terms removes, limits or replaces those rights, and wherever anything here conflicts with a protection that is mandatory where you live, that protection applies instead.

Depending on your location, you may also be able to bring a claim in your local courts, use a local alternative dispute resolution scheme, or complain to your national consumer-protection or data-protection authority.

Before any of that, please raise it with us through the developer contact details published on the AuraSage listing on Google Play. Most disputes turn out to be either a bug we can fix or a billing question that belongs to Google Play - and because Google issues and decides refunds for Play purchases under its own policies, billing claims should be raised with Google first.

14. General

• If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
• Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you.
• These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page, and we will notify you in the app of any material change before it takes effect.

Continuing to use the Service after a revision takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and uninstall the app.

16. How to reach us

We do not publish a public email address. For questions about these Terms, billing problems, or anything else about the Service, use the developer contact details published on the AuraSage listing on Google Play. Our support page explains what to include so we can help you quickly.
