4. Eligibility and Account

4.1 Age Requirements

ZodAI is intended solely for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use ZodAI. ZodAI is not directed to, and we do not knowingly permit use by or collect personal data from, anyone under 18.

The App enforces this at registration using your date of birth: if your date of birth indicates you are under 18, your account will not be created and no personal data will be stored. By using ZodAI, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age.

4.2 Account Registration

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Trials

5.1 Subscription Plans

ZodAI offers the following premium plans, sold as in-app purchases through the Apple App Store and Google Play:

PlanPriceBillingProduct ID

Lifetime$199.99 USD (one-time)One-time purchase, no renewalcom.ricozodai.zodai.lifetime

Prices are in US Dollars and may vary by country as determined by Apple or Google, shown in your local currency. Applicable taxes may be added. The price and plan displayed to you at the time of purchase govern the transaction.

5.2 Free Trial

New subscribers may be eligible for a 7-day free trial before their first billing period. Conditions:

5.3 Automatic Renewal — Required Disclosure

MONTHLY AND ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNLESS AUTO-RENEWAL IS TURNED OFF AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE THE END OF THE CURRENT PERIOD. YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CHARGED FOR RENEWAL WITHIN 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE CURRENT PERIOD AT THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION RATE. A FREE TRIAL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTS INTO A PAID SUBSCRIPTION UNLESS CANCELLED BEFORE IT ENDS. THE LIFETIME PLAN IS A ONE-TIME PURCHASE AND DOES NOT RENEW.

5.4 Managing and Canceling Subscriptions

You can view, manage, and cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings, or in-app via Profile → Manage Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are provided for unused subscription time, except as required by Apple's or Google's policies or by applicable law.

5.5 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests must be submitted to them: Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com; Google through the Google Play Store. Your statutory refund and consumer rights (including the EU right below) are not affected.

6. EU/EEA Consumer Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital services. However, by starting to use a paid feature (or a free trial that gives immediate access) during that period, you expressly request that we begin providing the service immediately and you acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed. This reflects Article 16(m) of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (as implemented in national law, including the Italian Consumer Code) and equivalent UK rules. This does not limit any other mandatory consumer right you have.

7. Free Tier

ZodAI offers a free tier with the following features and limitations:

We reserve the right to modify free tier features at any time with reasonable notice.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use ZodAI to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these restrictions.

9. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, trademarks, logos, AI prompts, and interfaces of ZodAI are the exclusive property of Rico Schurter or our licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership or license except the limited right to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, or sublicense any part of ZodAI without our prior written permission.

10. User Content and Data About Others

You retain ownership of the personal information you provide (name, birth data, messages). By submitting content to ZodAI, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process that content solely to provide the App's services to you. We do not use your messages or birth data to train AI models.

When you enter another person's birth details to generate a compatibility reading, you represent and warrant that you have the authority or consent to provide that information; and if that person is a minor, that you are their parent or legal guardian. If you or a third party wishes to have such data removed, contact privacy@zodai.io and we will act on the request. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

11. Disclaimers of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. ASTROLOGICAL CONTENT HAS NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR PREDICTING FUTURE EVENTS, PERSONALITY TRAITS, OR LIFE OUTCOMES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you, and you may have additional mandatory consumer rights.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RICO SCHURTER AND ZODAI ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ZODAI IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100.00 USD.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or your mandatory consumer rights. If you are a consumer in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, these limitations apply only to the extent permitted by the mandatory law of your country.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rico Schurter and ZodAI from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your use of the App in an unauthorized manner, your submission of another person's data without the required authority or consent, or your violation of any third party's rights or applicable law. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own wrongdoing, and does not affect your mandatory consumer rights.

14. Dispute Resolution

14.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, contact us at support@zodai.io with a written description of the dispute. We will attempt to resolve it within 30 days.

14.2 Binding Arbitration (US Users)

For users located in the United States: if informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court.

14.3 Class Action Waiver (US Users)

US USERS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT INDIVIDUALLY.

14.4 Arbitration Opt-Out (US Users)

You may opt out of arbitration by emailing support@zodai.io within 30 days of first using ZodAI with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out."

14.5 Non-US Users

Sections 14.2–14.4 do not apply to consumers in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of the mandatory protections of the law of your country of habitual residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. In particular, consumers resident in Italy may bring proceedings before the court of their place of residence or domicile, in accordance with Art. 66-bis of the Italian Consumer Code. EU/EEA consumers may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

14.6 Time Limit

To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be filed within one (1) year of the date the claim arose, except where prohibited by applicable law (including mandatory consumer time limits in your country).

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict of law provisions. For non-consumer and non-arbitrated matters, the exclusive jurisdiction shall be the courts of Bellinzona, Canton Ticino, Switzerland.

If you are a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection law and courts of your country of residence, as described in Section 14.5 (including Art. 66-bis of the Italian Consumer Code for consumers in Italy). The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16. Apple App Store — Additional Terms

17. Google Play — Additional Terms

If you download the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App. Refunds and subscription management for Google Play purchases are handled through Google Play.

18. Termination

18.1 By You

You may delete your account at any time via Profile → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent and immediate. Cancel active subscriptions separately through Apple or Google to avoid continued billing.

18.2 By ZodAI

We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms, fraudulent or illegal behavior, or misuse of the App. No refund will be provided upon termination for cause, except as required by applicable law.

18.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases. Sections covering the entertainment disclaimer, AI disclosure, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution survive termination.

19. Changes to These Terms

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and notify you via email or in-app notification at least 15 days before changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
