Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Resonant Era LLC, a limited liability company ("Spread Weaver", "we", "us" or "our"). They govern your use of the Spread Weaver website and app, including the journal, the card compendium, spreads and enhanced readings (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who can use Spread Weaver

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. The Service is not for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly allow minors to hold an account. If we learn that a minor has signed up, we will delete the account and its data.

By using the Service, you confirm that you are 18 or older, that you can enter into a binding agreement, and that you are not barred from using the Service under any law that applies to you.

3. Your account

You sign in with your email address and a one-time code that we email you. There are no passwords. Entering a new email address creates a new account.

• Keep control of your email account. Anyone who can read your sign-in codes can sign in as you.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly at support@spreadweaver.com if you think someone else has accessed it.
• Give us a real email address that you control, and keep it current.
• One person, one account. Do not create extra accounts to get around plan limits or to get free allowances more than once.
• On a shared computer, choose "This is a shared computer" when you sign in, and sign out when you are done.

4. What Spread Weaver is, and what it is not

Spread Weaver is a place to lay out tarot spreads, write reflections, and, if you choose, ask an AI to write a reading of your cards and notes.

Reflection and entertainment only. Tarot and enhanced readings are tools for reflection, creativity and entertainment. They do not predict the future, and we make no promise that a reading is accurate, complete or right for you.

Not professional advice. Nothing in the Service is medical, legal, financial, tax, psychological or other professional advice. A reading is not a diagnosis, treatment, therapy or counseling, and it is not a substitute for a licensed professional. Please talk to a qualified professional about those matters, and do not delay or ignore professional advice because of something you read here.

If you are in crisis. If you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, or you are in an emergency, contact your local emergency number right away. In the United States you can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Your choices are your own. You are responsible for your own decisions and for how you use any reading. We are not responsible for decisions you make or actions you take, or do not take, based on the Service.

5. Your content

"Your Content" means what you put into the Service: questions, reflections, impressions, labels, collection names, custom spread text, photos, and the readings generated for you.

You own it. As between you and us, you keep all rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

What we may do with it. You give us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, encrypt, process, transmit and display Your Content, only as needed to operate, secure, support and provide the Service to you. That includes sending it to the AI and research providers described in the Privacy Policy when you ask for an enhanced reading. The license ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, subject to the limited backup and legal exceptions described in the Privacy Policy.

No AI training. We do not use Your Content to train AI models, and we send it only to AI hosts set to zero data retention, which means they should not store it or train on it. See the Privacy Policy for details and limits.

Your responsibility. You are responsible for Your Content. Only upload photos and write about people in ways you have the right to, and do not upload anything that infringes someone else's rights or breaks the law. You promise that you have the rights needed to give us the license above.

Keep your own copies. The Service is a journal, not a vault. You can export your journal and photos at any time from Settings, under Privacy and data, and a JSON copy of your data from the Delete account page. We try to keep the Service reliable, but we cannot promise that nothing will ever be lost. Keep your own copies of anything important.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything. We will not publish your name or Your Content in doing so. Please don't include journal entries in feedback.

6. Enhanced readings

Enhanced readings are written by AI language models. When you ask for one, the Service sends the relevant parts of your reading to AI providers, as explained in the Privacy Policy. Enhanced features are optional. The first time you use one, you agree once for all of them, and you can turn them off at any time in Settings, under Privacy and data, or in Privacy choices, on any plan. Manual journaling never requires AI.

• AI can be wrong. AI can make mistakes, invent details, misunderstand your situation, or say things that are unhelpful or upsetting. Treat a reading as one perspective to think about, not as a fact or a recommendation.
• Not unique. Because of how AI works, readings may be similar or identical to readings that other people receive.
• Web searches. Some enhanced features may run general web searches. Our software refuses a search that contains your words. The privacy safeguards, and their limits, are explained in the Privacy Policy. Sources can be inaccurate, and we do not control or endorse them.
• Your readings. As between you and us, the readings generated for you are part of Your Content, and we give you whatever rights we have in them. Laws about who owns AI-generated text are unsettled, so we cannot promise that any particular right exists.
• Limits. We may refuse, limit or pause enhanced readings at any time, for example to stop abuse, to stay within spending limits, or because a provider is unavailable. Plan allowances apply as described in Section 8.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• break any law, or use the Service to harm, harass, threaten, defraud or impersonate anyone;
• upload or generate content that is illegal, that sexually exploits or endangers children, or that infringes someone else's rights;
• try to access another person's account or data, or to get around the Service's security, rate limits, usage limits or paywalls;
• probe, scan or test the Service for weaknesses without our written permission (to report a vulnerability, write to support@spreadweaver.com);
• overload or disrupt the Service, or use bots, scrapers or automated means to use it in ways we have not allowed;
• copy, resell or build a competing product from the Service's content or art, or use the Service or its outputs to develop or train competing AI models;
• try to extract our prompts, or use prompts or inputs designed to make the AI produce harmful or abusive material; or
• help anyone else do any of these things.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or end access as described in Section 9.

8. Plans, billing and free allowances

During the beta we do not take payments, and the paid-plan terms below apply only when payments open.

Free plan. You can use the journal, spreads and card compendium for free, with some limits. The free plan also includes a small number of trial enhanced readings, which are used once and do not renew, and some other limited allowances. The current allowances are shown in Settings: under Account, choose Manage plan. We may change free allowances in the future, and we will not take away readings you have already completed.

Paid plans. We offer paid plans with larger allowances. Plan names, features and allowances are shown on the Plans page. Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly, as you choose at checkout.

Automatic renewal. Please read this part carefully.

• When you subscribe, you agree to pay the price shown at checkout, and you authorize us (through our payment providers) to charge your payment method for that price on a recurring basis.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period (every month for monthly plans, every year for yearly plans), for the same period and at the then-current price, until you cancel.
• You will see the price, the billing period and the renewal terms before you pay, and you can review your subscription at any time under Manage billing.
• How to cancel: sign in, open Settings, choose Manage plan under Account, then choose Manage billing under Manage subscription, and cancel there. You can cancel at any time, and no phone call or message to us is needed. If you cannot cancel online for any reason, email support@spreadweaver.com and we will cancel it for you.
• Cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. After you cancel, you keep your paid plan until the end of the period you already paid for, and then your account moves to the free plan. We do not charge cancellation fees.
• Deleting your account also cancels a web subscription so it will not renew. It does not refund the current period.

Payment. Payments on the web are handled by a subscription management service and a payment processor we work with. We never see or store your full card number. By subscribing you also agree to the terms of those providers. If a payment fails, we or our providers may retry it, and we may pause or end your paid plan until the payment succeeds.

Taxes. Prices are in US dollars and may not include sales or other taxes. If we must collect a tax, checkout shows it before you pay.

Price changes. We may change prices. For a subscription you already have, we will tell you at least 30 days before the new price takes effect on your next renewal, so you can cancel first. If you keep your subscription after the change takes effect, you agree to the new price.

Refunds. Payments are generally non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund. We will refund your most recent charge if you ask within 14 days of your first payment for a plan, or within 7 days of a renewal, unless you have abused the Service. If you were charged in error, contact us and we will fix it. Nothing here limits your rights under the law that applies to you. Email support@spreadweaver.com to ask for a refund.

If you downgrade or cancel. You keep your journal and your data. Some features and allowances will return to the free plan's limits, and you may not be able to create new items beyond those limits.

Apps and app stores. If we offer subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play in the future, those purchases will also be governed by the store's terms, and you will manage and cancel them through the store.

9. Ending your account

You can leave at any time. You can export your data and delete your account from You. Deletion removes your account and its data as described in the Privacy Policy, and it cannot be undone.

We can suspend or end access. We may suspend or end your access, or delete content, if you break these Terms or the law, if your use puts the Service or other people at risk, if you do not pay, or if we must do so for legal reasons. Where it is reasonable and lawful, we will tell you why. If we end your paid plan without cause, we will refund the unused part of the period you paid for.

We may change or end the Service. We may change, pause or discontinue the Service or parts of it. If we discontinue the whole Service, we will give you reasonable notice and a chance to export your data.

What survives. Sections that by their nature should continue after the Service ends (including 5, 10, 13 to 16 and 18) will continue.

10. Our intellectual property

The Service, including the software, design, text, the card compendium and its writing, the deck art and illustrations, the Spread Weaver name and logo, and the way these are put together, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own journaling and reflection, as these Terms allow. You may not copy, scrape, sell, sublicense or create derivative works from the Service or its content, except for your own personal use and as the law allows. We keep all rights not expressly granted.

Tarot card names and traditional meanings are part of a shared cultural tradition.

Other people's names and marks. Product, deck, author, publisher and company names that appear in the Service, including the names of tarot decks and traditions, may be trademarks of their owners. We use them only to say which deck or tradition you can read with, and to describe how the Service treats it. That use is to identify those decks and traditions, and nothing more. Spread Weaver is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the owners of those names, and their appearance here does not mean that those owners approve of the Service or of any reading. We do not use their logos, and apart from photos you upload yourself we do not show card art from their decks.

Notices for particular names. We do not use a registration symbol (®), because we have not confirmed a registration for each name everywhere the Service is used.

• OSHO is claimed as a trademark by Osho International Foundation. The "Osho Zen Tarot" is named here only to identify that deck.
• RIDER-WAITE, RIDER, WAITE and related deck names, including "Radiant Rider–Waite Tarot", are claimed as trademarks by U.S. Games Systems, Inc. "Rider–Waite–Smith" is used here to name the 1909 deck and the tradition that grew from it. The 1909 artwork we show is in the public domain in the United States.
• THE WILD UNKNOWN is claimed as a trademark by The Wild Unknown, Inc.

11. Third-party services and links

The Service relies on other companies, such as our hosting, database, AI, search, email, analytics and payment providers, and may link to other websites. We do not control third parties and are not responsible for their services, content or practices. Your use of third-party services (for example the payment checkout) may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

12. Copyright complaints

We respect other people's rights. If you believe content in the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to us at support@spreadweaver.com. Your notice should include:

• your name and contact details, and your physical or electronic signature;
• a description of the work you say was infringed;
• a description of where the material is in the Service, with enough detail for us to find it;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Because journals are private and encrypted, we may not be able to locate or review material without help from the person making the notice or the account holder. If we remove material in response to a notice, we will tell the account holder, who may send us a counter-notice. We may end accounts of repeat infringers.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL READINGS AND OTHER CONTENT, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE AND OUR LICENSORS AND PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT YOUR DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST OR ACCESSED BY SOMEONE ELSE, OR THAT ANY READING, INCLUDING AI-GENERATED CONTENT, IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE OR SUITABLE FOR YOU. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some places do not allow certain warranties to be disclaimed, so some of the above may not apply to you. You may have other rights that vary by place.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS:

• WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE; AND
• OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $50.

These limits apply whatever the legal theory (contract, tort including negligence, or anything else). They also apply to our affiliates, owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, licensors and providers.

What these limits do not do. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where the law forbids limiting it. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights that you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived, including the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. Some places do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. If a claim is brought because of you

To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend and indemnify us and our members, managers, employees and providers against claims, losses and reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) brought by a third party and arising from Your Content, your violation of these Terms or the law, or your misuse of the Service. We will tell you promptly about any such claim, and we may take over the defense at our own expense. This section does not apply where the law does not allow it.

16. Resolving disputes

Please talk to us first. Most concerns can be solved quickly. Email support@spreadweaver.com with a short description of the problem and what you would like us to do. If we cannot resolve it within 30 days, either of us may start a formal dispute under this Section. This informal step is required before filing a claim, except for the exceptions listed below.

Binding individual arbitration. Except for the exceptions below, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute"), including the existence, scope or enforceability of this Section, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, not in court, and not by a judge or jury.

• Who and how. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will administer the arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the claim is filed (available at adr.org). The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. The arbitrator must apply the law and these Terms, and may award the same individual relief a court could.
• Where. The arbitration can be done by phone, video or written submissions. If an in-person hearing is held, it will be in the county where you live (or another place we agree).
• Costs. AAA's consumer fee schedule applies. We will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees beyond what you would have paid to file a case in court.
• Individual claims only; no class actions. You and we may bring claims against each other only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative action. The arbitrator may not combine claims of more than one person and may not preside over any class or representative proceeding. If this class waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim will be heard in court (see "Courts" below) and not in arbitration, and the rest of this Section stays in force.

Exceptions. Either of us may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court in Pennsylvania, or in the small-claims court where you live, if the claim qualifies and stays in that court; (b) ask a court for an order to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service; and (c) bring any claim that the law does not allow to be arbitrated.

You can opt out of arbitration. You may opt out of this arbitration section (including the class-action waiver) within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. To opt out, email support@spreadweaver.com from the email address on your account with the subject "Arbitration opt-out", and include your name. If you opt out, Disputes will be resolved in court as described below, and the rest of these Terms still applies.

Governing law. These Terms, and any Dispute, are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live.

Courts. For Disputes that are not arbitrated (for example if you opt out, or an exception applies), you and we agree that the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania have exclusive jurisdiction and are the proper venue, and each of us consents to personal jurisdiction there. TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, EACH OF US WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN COURT.

Changes to this Section. If we change this Section in the future, the change will not apply to a Dispute that began before the change.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when the Service or the law changes. We will post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. If a change is material, we will tell you in advance (for example by email or a notice in the app) at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless the law or a security need requires a faster change. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the new Terms. If you do not agree, you can stop using the Service and delete your account before the change takes effect.

18. Privacy

How we collect and use information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms in the sense that you acknowledge it by using the Service. If the Privacy Policy and these Terms conflict about how we handle personal information, the Privacy Policy controls.

19. The legal small print

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are our complete agreement about the Service and replace any earlier agreement about it.
• If part is unenforceable. If a part of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be limited as little as needed, and the rest stays in effect.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a right right away, we have not given it up.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours, for example in a merger, sale or reorganization, if the new owner takes on our commitments to you.
• Notices. We may give you notice by email to the address on your account or by a notice in the Service. You may give us notice at support@spreadweaver.com.
• Electronic communications. You agree to receive notices and records from us electronically.
• Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of internet, hosting or AI providers, natural disasters, or government action.
• Export and sanctions. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under US export or sanctions laws.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not give rights to anyone other than you and us, except for the people covered by Sections 13 to 15.
