Effective Date:
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using StarYa ("Starya," "Service," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue use of the Service immediately. These Terms govern all visitors, registered users, and subscribers.

- Today briefing — a personalised daily summary with cycle, lunar and transit context
- Daily, monthly, and yearly personal cycle forecasts
- Horoscope readings, labelled as general, chart-personalised, or transit-based
- Chinese zodiac and elemental harmony readings
- Daily tarot card draws and interpretive guidance

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without express written authorization.
11. AI-Generated Content
Portions of the Service use artificial intelligence to translate your calculated results into readable readings, insights, and guidance. AI-generated content:
- Is produced algorithmically and may occasionally contain inaccuracies
- Does not compute your chart or numbers — those are calculated deterministically and are unaffected if an interpretation fails to generate
- Receives only the context described in our Privacy Policy and Trust page; journal content is shared with AI only if you opt in
- Should be treated as a tool for reflection, not as factual or prescriptive advice
- Does not replace the judgment of qualified professionals in any field
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any reading, insight, or guidance. The Service is intended for entertainment and personal growth — it is not a substitute for professional advice of any kind.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STARYA AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StarYa and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.
15. Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in that policy.
16. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, with each party bearing its own costs unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by email notification. Your continued use of the Service following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
18. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent.
