PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Lighten Up ("the App"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.
Lighten Up is a spiritual guidance application developed by Light and Love Nodes LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") that provides an AI-powered conversational guide. The guide draws from selected spiritual texts to offer companionship, reflection, and prayer. The AI runs entirely on your device. The App is designed for personal spiritual reflection and companionship purposes only.
By using the App, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 13 years of age; (b) if you are between 13 and 18 years of age, your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf; (c) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement; and (d) your use of the App does not violate any applicable law or regulation.
NOT MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE: The App is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The App does not provide mental health counseling, therapy, psychiatric treatment, psychological assessment, or any form of clinical care. Nothing in the App should be construed as medical or mental health advice. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, contact emergency services (911) immediately. Always seek the advice of qualified health professionals with any questions regarding a medical or mental health condition. Never disregard professional medical or mental health advice or delay seeking it because of something generated by the App.
NOT A CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICE: While the App includes a feature that detects certain keywords and displays contact information for crisis resources such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Crisis Text Line, the App itself is not a crisis line, hotline, emergency service, or crisis intervention tool. This feature operates through keyword matching only and may fail to detect crisis situations, may produce false positives, and should never be relied upon as a substitute for contacting emergency services or trained crisis professionals. The Company does not monitor user conversations and cannot intervene in any crisis situation.
NOT A RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY: The guide is an artificial intelligence application. It is not a pastor, priest, minister, rabbi, imam, counselor, chaplain, theologian, spiritual director, or religious authority of any kind. It does not possess spiritual insight, divine guidance, personal faith, consciousness, or personal experiences. Its responses are generated by a language model based on statistical patterns. The guide's responses should not be treated as authoritative spiritual counsel, religious instruction, or divine revelation. We strongly encourage users to seek guidance from qualified spiritual leaders, religious communities, and faith traditions for matters of spiritual importance.
NOT LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVICE: Nothing in the App constitutes legal, financial, tax, or professional advice of any kind. Do not rely on any response generated by the App for legal, financial, or professional decisions.
AI LIMITATIONS AND INACCURACIES: The AI guide is a language model that generates responses based on statistical patterns. It may produce responses that are inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, nonsensical, inappropriate, offensive, or factually wrong. The AI does not understand context the way a human does, cannot verify the accuracy of its own outputs, and may generate content that appears authoritative but is entirely incorrect. You acknowledge that AI-generated content should not be relied upon for any important decisions and that you use the App's outputs at your own risk.
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. You understand that the App generates AI-powered content that may be inaccurate, inappropriate, or harmful. You assume full responsibility for any actions you take or decisions you make based on content generated by the App. You agree that the Company shall have no liability for any harm, injury, loss, or damage of any kind arising from your use of or reliance on the App or its content, including but not limited to emotional distress, psychological harm, spiritual harm, physical harm, financial loss, or any other consequential damages.
Access to the App requires an active subscription after a free trial period. Subscriptions are billed through Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's terms and conditions for in-app purchases and subscriptions.
Free Trial: If a free trial is offered, it will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends. You are responsible for canceling before the trial period ends if you do not wish to be charged.
Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel your subscription through your Apple ID Account Settings. The Company does not directly process payments or manage subscription billing.
Refunds: All refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. The Company does not process refunds directly and has no obligation to provide refunds.
Price Changes: We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change.
You agree not to: (a) attempt to extract, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or copy the AI model, its weights, parameters, or underlying technology; (b) use the App for any unlawful, harmful, abusive, threatening, harassing, or fraudulent purpose; (c) attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security features of the App; (d) redistribute, sublicense, sell, resell, or commercially exploit the App or its content; (e) use the App to generate content for commercial purposes; (f) use automated systems or tools to interact with the App; (g) attempt to access data or functionality not intended for your use; or (h) use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the App.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LIGHT AND LOVE NODES LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability whatsoever for any harm, injury, emotional distress, psychological harm, spiritual harm, or other damage arising from: (a) AI-generated content, including content that is inaccurate, misleading, inappropriate, or offensive; (b) the failure of the crisis detection feature to detect or appropriately respond to a crisis situation; (c) any actions taken or decisions made based on content generated by the App; (d) unauthorized access to your device or data stored on your device; (e) loss or corruption of data stored on your device; or (f) any interactions with third-party services, including Apple's App Store.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PAID TO THE COMPANY FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00 USD).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the Company's liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Light and Love Nodes LLC, its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs) arising from or relating to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; (d) your violation of any rights of a third party; (e) any claim that your use of the App caused damage to a third party; or (f) any content or data you provide through the App. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the App.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Agreement to Arbitrate: You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the App, or your relationship with the Company (collectively, "Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
Arbitration Rules: Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in Summit County, Ohio, or at another mutually agreed location, or may be conducted via telephone or video conference at the discretion of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this arbitration provision.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY ONLY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, MULTI-PARTY, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
Opt-Out Right: You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to info@lightenupguide.com within 30 days of first downloading or using the App. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision. If you opt out, all other provisions of these Terms will continue to apply.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For any claims not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Summit County, Ohio.
We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, assumption of risk, indemnification, limitation of liability, and the arbitration and class action waiver provisions.
We reserve the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the App or any part of it at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App. We do not guarantee that the App will always be available or that it will function without interruption.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms within the App and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with any modification, you must immediately stop using the App and delete it from your device.
These Terms are between you and Light and Love Nodes LLC, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. In the event of the App's failure to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you.
The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, government actions, power failures, internet failures, hardware or software failures, or any other cause beyond the Company's reasonable control.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Content Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Light and Love Nodes LLC regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings, whether written or oral, regarding the App.
The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Company.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction and without your consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
