These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you and Gregforge Labs LLC, a California limited liability company ("Gregforge", "we", "our", or "us"), governing your use of the Jyotish Vani mobile application (the "App") and any related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. The Service
Jyotish Vani is an educational and entertainment application that generates Vedic astrology interpretations, charts, and responses based on the birth information you provide. The Service uses automated calculations and large language models (provided by Anthropic, PBC) to produce responses. Content is generated by software, not by licensed professionals of any kind.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. By using the App you represent that you meet this requirement. The Service is not directed to children under 13; we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
3. Accounts
- You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity that occurs on your account.
- You agree to provide accurate information (including birth date, time, and place) and to update it if it changes.
- You may close your account at any time using the in-app account deletion option or by following the instructions at Account & Data Deletion.
4. License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Gregforge grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, strictly for your personal, non-commercial use.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to, and not to enable any third party to:
- copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the App;
- use the App to build a competing product or to train a machine-learning model;
- use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service;
- attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, usage tiers, or other protective measures;
- upload or submit content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes third-party rights;
- use the Service to harm yourself or others, or to make decisions described in Section 6 (No Professional Advice);
- resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit any part of the Service.
We may suspend or terminate your access for violations without notice.
6. No Professional Advice
The Service does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, investment, tax, or any other form of professional advice. Content generated by the App is for general entertainment and educational purposes only and must not be relied upon when making decisions with real-world consequences. Always consult a qualified professional. See the full Disclaimer.
7. User Content
You retain ownership of any text you type into the App (questions, chat messages, birth profile data) ("User Content"). You grant Gregforge a worldwide, royalty-free license to process User Content solely to operate and improve the Service, including transmitting it to our backend and to Anthropic's API so a response can be generated. We do not use your User Content to train machine-learning models, and our service providers are contractually restricted from doing so on our behalf. Before using Vani chat, you should understand that your message, recent chat context, and relevant astrological context are shared with our backend and third-party AI provider to generate replies.
8. Intellectual Property
The App, the Jyotish Vani name and logo, the underlying software, the interpretation text templates, and all related trademarks are owned by Gregforge Labs LLC or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you.
9. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers including Google Firebase Authentication, Google Cloud Platform, Anthropic (for the underlying language model), and Google Maps Platform APIs. Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and privacy policies of those providers as they pertain to the data flowing through them.
10. Subscriptions and Purchases
Any paid features, in-app purchases, or subscriptions offered within the App are sold through Google Play Billing (or, later, Apple's In-App Purchase). Pricing, billing, renewals, refunds, and cancellation are governed by the store-specific rules and our Refund & Subscription Terms, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. Subscription management and cancellation instructions are available in the App and at Refund & Subscription Terms.
11. Changes to the Service
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including by adding or removing features. We may also update these Terms; material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, communicated through the App. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for any reason, including violation of these Terms, with or without notice. Upon termination, the licenses granted to you cease immediately; sections that by their nature should survive (Sections 6–8, 13–17) will survive.
13. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, or uninterrupted availability. Astrological calculations and interpretations are an ancient symbolic system; we make no claim that they are scientifically validated or predictively accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gregforge and its officers, members, employees, agents, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $50.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gregforge and its personnel from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your User Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.
16. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Waiver
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Binding individual arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court. The arbitration will take place in Santa Clara County, California, or remotely by mutual agreement. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class-action waiver. You and Gregforge agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action. An arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@gregforgelabs.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account email.
17. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, Refund & Subscription Terms, and EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and Gregforge regarding the Service.
- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- Notices. Legal notices to Gregforge should be sent to: Gregforge Labs LLC, 675 Tasman Drive, Apt 2314, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, USA, with a copy by email to support@gregforgelabs.com.
