ASTRA
Terms of Service.
1. Acceptance
By installing or using the Astra mobile application ("Astra", "the app") you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not install or use Astra.
2. The service
Astra produces personalised daily, weekly, and monthly horoscopes, an affirmation, a moon-phase snapshot, and an optional compatibility reading between two zodiac signs. Readings are generated by a large language model (currently OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini) using your sun sign, chosen tone, and date scope as input. CodeEnsis Ltd. ("we", "our", "us") publishes Astra on the Apple App Store and may publish it on Google Play.
3. Entertainment, not advice
Astra is for entertainment and reflection only. It is not medical, psychological, legal, financial, professional, or relationship advice. Do not use it to make decisions where being wrong has real consequences. The horoscope text and affirmations are statistical predictions of language patterns; they are not statements of fact about you, your future, or any other person.
4. Your content
You retain ownership of any birth details you enter and any readings you save. By using Astra you grant us a non-exclusive licence to store that data on your behalf so the app can show it back to you. We do not use your inputs or saved readings to train AI models.
5. AI output
The horoscope text Astra returns is generated on demand by a third-party language model. Outputs can be inaccurate, contradictory between runs, or occasionally surprising in tone (especially in tones like "Sarcastic", "Roast Me", or "Coach"). You are responsible for choosing a tone that suits you and for stopping use if the output upsets or distresses you.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of Astra, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.
- Use Astra to harass, threaten, or target another person, including by generating "roast" or "sarcastic" readings about a real person without their consent and sharing them publicly.
- Probe, scan, automate, or attempt to disrupt the CodeEnsis Cloud Functions or Firestore services that Astra communicates with.
- Use Astra to generate or distribute content that is illegal, infringing, sexually explicit, or harmful in your jurisdiction.
7. Subscriptions
Astra currently ships fully unlocked. There are no in-app purchases. If we introduce optional paid features in a future release, the purchase and renewal will be processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; cancellation is managed in your store account settings. We do not store payment information.
8. Notifications
If you enable the daily reading reminder, Astra schedules a local notification on your device. You are responsible for ensuring iOS / Android notification permissions, Do Not Disturb settings, and Focus modes allow Astra to deliver them. We do not guarantee delivery of any individual notification.
9. Privacy
Use of Astra is also governed by the Privacy Policy. Please review it.
10. Third-party services
Astra relies on Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions) and OpenAI for generating readings. By using Astra you also agree to those providers' terms in respect of the data Astra transmits on your behalf, as described in the Privacy Policy.
11. Disclaimers
Astra is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that Astra will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any reading, affirmation, or notification will be accurate, available, or delivered on time.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CodeEnsis Ltd. and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including loss of data, missed events, or decisions made on the basis of a reading, arising from your use of or inability to use Astra.
Where law prohibits exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by that law.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as Astra evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated "Effective" date. Continuing to use Astra after a change means you accept the updated terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence grants you the right to bring a claim locally.
