Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Zodiqo, a mobile astrology app and related website (together, the "Service") operated by PAWCODE SRL, a company incorporated in Romania, with registered office at Strada Verzișori, Nr. 6, Bl. D, Ap. B118, Sector 4, București, Tax ID (CUI) 54362611, registered with the Trade Register under J2026020594004 ("we", "us", "Zodiqo").

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

2. Description of the Service

Zodiqo is a consumer mobile application, primarily for iOS, that computes natal charts, real-time planetary transits and synastry comparisons using high‑precision astronomical data, and that offers AI‑assisted interpretations based on those computations. The Service is provided "as is" and we may add, change or remove features from time to time.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using Zodiqo, you confirm that you meet this requirement. Where local law sets a higher minimum age for the type of processing we perform, that higher age applies. If we learn that a user is under 16, we will suspend or close the account and delete associated personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

4. Accounts

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your sign‑in credentials secure and for everything that happens under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You may delete your account at any time from within the App or by emailing support@zodiqo.com.

5. Purchases and subscriptions

If the Service offers paid features or subscriptions, they are sold through Apple's App Store (or, in the future, Google Play) and are governed by the relevant store operator's terms. Prices, billing cycles and renewal behaviour are shown in the App before you confirm the purchase. Refunds are handled by the store operator according to its policies.

Immediate delivery and waiver of withdrawal right (EU consumers). Zodiqo is digital content within the meaning of Directive 2011/83/EU and OUG 34/2014 in Romania. By purchasing or subscribing to a paid feature, you expressly request immediate delivery of that digital content and you acknowledge that you thereby lose your 14‑day right of withdrawal under Directive 2011/83/EU (Article 16(m)) and OUG 34/2014 (art. 16 lit. m).

6. User content

You may enter data such as your own birth information, the birth information of people you know, notes and preferences ("User Content"). You keep all rights in your User Content. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty‑free licence to host, store, transmit and process this content for the sole purpose of providing the Service to you (for example, computing a chart or generating an interpretation).

When you enter another person's birth data, you are responsible for having a legitimate reason to do so and, where required by law, for having their consent.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for anything unlawful, harmful, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or deceptive.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except where this is permitted by mandatory law.
• Circumvent, disable or interfere with security features of the Service.
• Use automated means (scrapers, bots) to access the Service, overload it, or extract content in bulk.
• Resell, sublicense or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.
• Use the Service to make decisions that require professional advice (see the notice above).

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, visual identity and written content, is owned by PAWCODE SRL and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, no rights are transferred.

Where we rely on third‑party libraries, datasets or software components to provide parts of the Service, those components remain the property of their respective owners and are used under their applicable licences. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in such third‑party components beyond what those licences allow.

9. Disclaimers — entertainment use only

Astrology is not science. All astrological interpretations, guidance and predictions provided by the Service are for entertainment and personal reflection purposes only. Do not rely on Zodiqo for medical, psychological, financial, legal or safety decisions. Always consult a qualified professional for those matters.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error‑free, or that interpretations will meet your expectations.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PAWCODE SRL shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or EUR 50 if you paid nothing.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or statutory consumer rights that apply to you.

Time limit to bring claims. Any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, except where applicable law requires a longer limitation period that cannot be shortened by agreement.

Consumer rights preserved. The limitations and exclusions in this Section apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and do not limit any rights you have as a consumer under Romanian law, EU consumer-protection law (including Directive 93/13/EEC as implemented by Law 193/2000 in Romania, and Directive 2011/83/EU as implemented by OUG 34/2014), or other mandatory consumer rights in your place of residence. Where such mandatory rights apply, the liability cap and the one-year limitation set out above are disapplied to the extent required by those rights.

11. App store platforms

These Terms are an agreement between you and PAWCODE SRL. Any third party that distributes the Service — such as Apple Inc. for iOS via the App Store, Google LLC for Android via Google Play, or any other future store operator — is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Service or its content. Such store operators have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service. If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the relevant store operator, which may refund the purchase price in accordance with its own policies; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, these store operators have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service.

Store operators are not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Service, including product liability, failure to conform to applicable law, or consumer‑protection claims. In the event of a third‑party claim that the Service infringes intellectual property rights, PAWCODE SRL (not the store operator) is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of the claim.

Third‑party beneficiaries. Apple Inc., Google LLC, and their respective subsidiaries are third‑party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance, each such store operator will be deemed to have accepted the right to enforce these Terms against you as a user of its platform.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless PAWCODE SRL, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any third‑party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or any applicable law; (b) content you submit, share, publish, or expose via public share links through the Service, including any infringement of third‑party rights; or (c) your violation of any third‑party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or contractual rights. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to your indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defences.

13. Security and unauthorised access

We apply commercially reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards to protect the Service. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that the Service will be free of vulnerabilities, unauthorised access, or security incidents.

Your account security. You are responsible for keeping your sign‑in credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at abuse@zodiqo.com if you suspect unauthorised access or a security issue.

No liability for unauthorised access beyond our control. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for loss or damage resulting from unauthorised access to the Service, to your account, or to data transmitted through the Service, where such access results from factors beyond our reasonable control — including but not limited to third‑party cyberattacks, malware, compromise of your device, compromise of your credentials, or vulnerabilities in third‑party components we rely on. This exclusion does not limit any obligation we may have under applicable data‑protection law (such as GDPR Article 33 or equivalent breach‑notification rules) to notify you or the relevant authorities of a qualifying personal data breach.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, pandemics, governmental action, fires, floods, power or network failures, third‑party cyberattacks, or industry‑wide service outages.

14. Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we decide to discontinue the Service. On termination, the provisions that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law) will remain in effect.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes (for example, changes that affect your rights, the scope of the Service, or pricing), we will update the "Last updated" date and notify you by email or through the App at least 30 days before the changes take effect. During that notice period you may terminate your account and stop using the Service without penalty. If you continue to use the Service after the changes take effect, you are considered to have accepted the updated Terms.

Non‑material updates (such as clarifications, typos, or changes required to comply with law) may take effect immediately when posted.

16. Governing law and dispute resolution

If you are located outside the United States: These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be submitted to the competent courts of Bucharest, Romania, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rights that allow consumers to bring proceedings before the courts of their place of residence.

EU consumers — online dispute resolution and ANPC. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you may use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform to resolve disputes online: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Consumers in Romania may also contact the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC): anpc.ro. Alternative dispute resolution under Government Ordinance 38/2015 is available through ANPC's mediation service. Using these channels does not affect your right to go to court.

If you are a resident of the United States: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws rules. You and PAWCODE SRL agree that any dispute, claim or controversy ("Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in New York, NY or at another location you and we mutually agree. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to email us at legal@zodiqo.com with a written description of the Dispute. We will try to resolve it informally within 60 days.

Class action waiver. YOU AND PAWCODE SRL EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR COLLECTIVE LAWSUIT. Relief may be granted only on an individual basis.

30‑day opt‑out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class‑action waiver section by sending written notice to legal@zodiqo.com within 30 days of your first use of the Service. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Small claims. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county where you live, if the claim qualifies under that court's rules.

Severability. If the class‑action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) must be heard in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.

17. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PAWCODE SRL regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to any affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets.

Notices. We may provide notices to you by email (to the address on file), through the App, or by posting on our website. You agree that electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
