Terms of Use

Effective 11 August 2026 · End User Licence Agreement for the SkyWiser iOS application

1. Accepting these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Vipin Kumar ("SkyWiser", "we", "us"), the developer of the SkyWiser iOS application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. What SkyWiser is not

SkyWiser is a contemplative tool for self-reflection — not medical, financial, legal, or psychological advice. Astrology here is a lens, not a verdict.

Nothing in a reading is a prediction, a diagnosis, a prognosis, or a recommendation to take or avoid any action.

Readings are generated text based on astrological calculation and are offered for reflection and entertainment. They are not a substitute for professional judgement, and you should not rely on them when making decisions about your health, your finances, your legal position, your relationships, your employment, or your safety.

If you are struggling with your mental health, please talk to a qualified professional or a crisis service in your country. SkyWiser is not a crisis service and cannot help in an emergency.

Readings are written with the assistance of a large language model. Generated text can be inaccurate, inconsistent, or simply wrong, even when it is expressed with confidence. Treat it accordingly.

3. Your licence

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Usage Rules set out in them. This licence is for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

  • copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except where that restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
  • rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App;
  • remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

4. Your account

Accounts are created with Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for maintaining control of the Apple Account you use, and for activity that takes place through your SkyWiser account. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

You may delete your SkyWiser account at any time. What deletion removes, and what remains under your own control in iCloud, is described in the privacy policy. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription — only Apple can do that, as described below.

5. Subscriptions and billing

SkyWiser offers an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks readings personalised to your natal chart, Vimshottari dasha context, and full journal history. Without a subscription, the App provides a daily generic sky reading based on current transits.

Plans and pricing

  • Monthly — US$4.99 per month, including a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
  • Annual — US$34.99 per year.

Prices are shown in US dollars and vary by App Store storefront and local taxes. The price, the subscription length, and any introductory or free-trial offer available to you are displayed in the App immediately before you confirm the purchase, and those displayed terms govern your purchase.

How billing works

  • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
  • Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the then-current price for your plan.
  • You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings after purchase. On your device: Settings, your name, then Subscriptions.
  • Any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that publication, where a free trial is offered.
  • Cancelling stops future renewals. It does not retroactively refund the period you are currently in, and you keep access until that period ends.

Refunds

Purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue, reverse, or guarantee a refund for an App Store purchase. Nothing here limits any statutory right of withdrawal, cancellation, or refund you have under the consumer law of your country.

Price changes

We may change subscription prices. Where a change affects an existing subscription, Apple will notify you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before the next renewal is charged. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the renewal date.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the App for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of any applicable law or regulation;
  • present readings to other people as professional advice, or resell, syndicate, or publish readings as a commercial service;
  • interfere with or disrupt the App or our servers, including by probing, scanning, circumventing rate limits, or attempting to gain unauthorised access;
  • use automated means to access the App, or scrape, harvest, or bulk extract readings or other content;
  • attempt to circumvent subscription entitlement checks, or use the App with a modified or jailbroken operating system to obtain paid features without paying;
  • submit content that is unlawful, or that infringes someone else's rights, through any free-text field in the App.

7. Your content

Your journal entries are yours. You retain all rights in them, and we claim no ownership or licence over them.

Journal entries are encrypted on your device and stored in your own iCloud private database. We do not receive them and cannot read them. Because we hold no copy and no key, we cannot recover your entries if you lose access to your Apple Account, and you are responsible for maintaining your own access and backups. We are not liable for the loss of journal content.

Where you send us content directly — a support email, feedback, or a bug report — you grant us permission to use it to operate and improve the App. If you send us a suggestion, you agree we may implement it without obligation or compensation to you.

8. Our intellectual property

The App, including its software, calculation engine, interface, typography, visual design, name, and logo, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. No rights are granted to you except the licence in section 3.

Astrological methods and traditions, including Krishnamurti Paddhati, are not claimed as our intellectual property. Our implementation of them is.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may keep and use the readings generated for you for your own personal, non-commercial reflection.

9. Third-party services

The App depends on services we do not control: Apple, for authentication, payment, iCloud storage, and place lookup; and Anthropic, whose Claude API generates the text of your readings from derived chart data. Details of what is sent to each are in the privacy policy. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

10. Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any part of it, including individual features, at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability, and readings depend on a network connection and on third-party services being available.

If we discontinue a paid feature or the App altogether, we will make a reasonable effort to notify subscribers in advance. Where you have paid for a period of service you can no longer receive, your remedy is a refund of the unused portion, requested through Apple.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that readings are accurate, complete, reliable, or suitable for any purpose, or that astrological calculations are free from error. We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements or that defects will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you. Where consumer law gives you guarantees that cannot be excluded, this section does not limit them.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 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 journal content, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App, however caused and on any theory of liability.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limits may not apply to you in full.

You accept that decisions you take after reading a reading are yours alone.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time, delete your account in the App, and remove the App from your device. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, or if we are required to do so by law.

Sections 2, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, survive termination.

14. Apple-specific terms

These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. The following applies as required by Apple:

  • Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
  • Warranty. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility.
  • Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
  • Intellectual property claims. If a third party claims that the App infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
  • Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
  • Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of them.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where that law gives you the right to do so.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the App changes or as the law requires. The current version always lives at skywiser.app/terms with its effective date at the top. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will give reasonable notice in the App or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
