Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Nostra, a general partnership registered in Ontario, Canada (“Nostra”, “we”, “us”). They apply to the Nostra app for iPhone and Apple Watch, the services behind it and this website (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and confirm that you have read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who Can Use Nostra

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, or older if your country requires a higher age to use online services like ours without a parent’s consent. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law.

3. Your Account

• Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep your sign-in details secure. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
• Your account is for you alone. Do not share it, sell it or use someone else’s.
• Choose a username that does not impersonate anyone, mislead others or infringe anyone’s rights. We may reclaim or change a username that breaks these Terms.
• Tell us promptly at info@nostrasky.com if you think your account has been used without your permission.

4. What Nostra Is Not

Nostra offers astrology for self-reflection, curiosity and enjoyment. Astrological readings, interpretations and AI-generated text are not facts or predictions you can rely on, and they are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, legal, financial or other advice.

Do not make decisions about your health, safety, relationships, money or legal matters on the strength of anything in the Service. If you are in crisis or need help, contact a qualified professional or your local emergency services.

We work hard to compute planetary positions, angles and houses accurately, but calculations depend on the birth data you enter and on the methods we use, and we do not promise they are free of error.

5. AI Features

Parts of the Service, including the Oracle and the written part of your daily reading, are generated by artificial intelligence provided by a third party. By using them you understand that:

• AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent or inappropriate, and may sound more certain than it is. Use your own judgment.
• You are responsible for what you submit, including messages, photos, documents and the people you mention. Do not submit anything you do not have the right to share, or other people’s personal information without their permission.
• You may not use AI features to create content that is illegal, harmful, harassing, sexually explicit, deceptive, or that infringes anyone’s rights, or to try to extract our prompts or get around our limits.
• We may apply daily limits to AI features and change them from time to time, and AI features may be unavailable when our provider is.
• As between you and us, you may use the text the Oracle gives you for your own personal purposes.

6. Nostra Plus

• What it is. Nostra Plus is an optional subscription that unlocks additional features described in the App. Features included in Nostra Plus may change over time.
• Billing. Nostra Plus is sold through Apple’s App Store and billed to your Apple ID. The price, the billing period and any free trial are shown in the App before you subscribe.
• Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple ID’s subscription settings. If you cancel, you keep Nostra Plus until the end of the period you have paid for.
• Free trials. If an offer includes a free trial, the subscription begins and you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it does.
• Refunds. Apple handles all payments and refunds under its own policies. To ask for a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. Deleting the App or your Nostra account does not cancel a subscription.
• Price changes. If the price of your subscription changes, Apple will tell you beforehand and, where required, ask for your consent.

7. Your Content

“Your Content” means what you put into the Service: your birth data, journal entries, community posts, readings you share, messages to the Oracle and attachments, and messages you send us. You keep ownership of Your Content.

You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to run the Service for you and the people you choose to share with: for example, to show a community post to other members, to send a shared reading to a friend, or to have our service providers compute and write your readings. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for copies we must keep by law and backups that are overwritten in time.

You confirm that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content and that it does not break these Terms or the law. We do not have to monitor content, but we may review, hide or remove any content we believe breaks these Terms or the law.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without any obligation to you.

8. Community Rules

The communities and friends features work only if people treat each other well. When you use the Service, you must not:

• Harass, bully, threaten, or encourage harm to anyone, or post hateful content targeting people for who they are.
• Post sexually explicit material, anything that sexualizes minors, graphic violence, or content that promotes self-harm.
• Share other people’s private information, including their birth data, without their permission.
• Impersonate anyone, mislead people about who you are, or spam.
• Post anything illegal, or that infringes someone else’s intellectual property or privacy.
• Scrape, copy or harvest data from the Service, access it by automated means we have not allowed, or use it to build a competing product.
• Probe, disrupt or overload our systems, get around security, limits or payment, or reverse engineer the App except where the law allows it.

To report content or behaviour that breaks these rules, email info@nostrasky.com with the username and what happened. We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

9. Our Content and Licence

The Service, including its software, design, glyphs, illustrations, text, readings and other content we provide, belongs to Nostra and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. Subject to these Terms, we give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by Apple’s Usage Rules, and to use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of the Service except as these Terms allow. The App includes open-source components, which are licensed under their own terms.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on and links to services run by others, including Apple (the App Store, Sign in with Apple), Google (Sign in with Google) and our AI provider. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, and we are not responsible for them.

11. Changes to Nostra and to These Terms

We are constantly improving Nostra, so we may add, change or remove features. If we stop offering a paid feature you subscribe to without replacing it, you can cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings.

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new “last updated” date and, if a change is significant, tell you in the App or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, the new Terms apply to you; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.

12. Ending These Terms

You can stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account (see Support). Remember to cancel any subscription in your Apple ID settings separately.

We may suspend or close your account, with notice where reasonable, if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other users or the Service. Sections 4, 5, 7 (the last two paragraphs), 9 and 13 to 18 survive the end of these Terms.

13. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We make no warranties or conditions of any kind, express or implied, including about merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Nostra and its partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill or opportunities, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if we were told such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for Nostra Plus in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and CAD $100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or takes away rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract.

15. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Nostra and its partners against claims, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees) brought by third parties that arise from Your Content or from your breach of these Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a dispute arises, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be heard by the courts of Ontario, and you and we submit to their jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section takes away the protection of the mandatory laws of the place where you live, or your right to bring a claim in the courts there where that law gives you that right.

17. Apple App Store Terms

If you downloaded the App from Apple’s App Store, these additional terms apply:

• These Terms are between you and Nostra only, not Apple. Nostra, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Your licence to use the App is limited to Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where available.
• Nostra is solely responsible for maintenance and support of the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App, if any, to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are Nostra’s responsibility, to the extent these Terms do not exclude them.
• Nostra, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, Nostra, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

18. General

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of our business. These Terms are written in English; any translation is for convenience. The parties have requested that these Terms be drawn up in English. Les parties ont exigé que les présentes soient rédigées en anglais.
