Welcome to Groundlore. By using the app or website, you agree to these terms. Please read them — they are short and written to be readable.
Groundlore is an entertainment experience inspired by the tradition of tasseography (coffee-cup reading). Readings are creative, generated for enjoyment, and are not predictions of the future and not professional advice of any kind. Do not rely on a reading for medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other important decisions. If you need professional advice, please consult a qualified professional.
You must be at least 18 years old to use Groundlore. By using it, you confirm that you are.
You sign in with Google. You are responsible for keeping access to your Google account secure. You agree to use the service lawfully and not to abuse, overload, reverse-engineer, or attempt to disrupt it, and to only upload images you have the right to use.
You keep ownership of the photos you upload and the readings you receive. You grant us permission to process your photo solely to generate your reading (see our Privacy Policy). We process photos transiently and do not store them.
The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We may change, pause, or discontinue features at any time. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Every new account includes 2 free readings. When those are used, you can keep reading in one of two ways: buy a credit pack, or take out a subscription (available weekly, monthly, or yearly). Prices are shown in US dollars and are presented to you before you pay. Payments are processed by PayPal; we never see or store your card details.
Credit packs are a one-time purchase of a set number of readings (for example, one reading for $2.99, five for $9.99, or twelve for $19.99). A credit pack does not auto-renew — you are only ever charged for a pack you actively choose to buy. Credits are added to your account instantly after payment is confirmed. Credits do not expire and remain on your account until you use them, for as long as the service is available to you. One credit is spent per reading. A reading that visibly fails to generate does not consume a credit. Credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred between accounts, and cannot be exchanged for money except as described in the Refund Policy below.
A subscription is available in three billing periods, all offering the same thing: one included reading per calendar day — the daily ritual. The prices are $4.99 per week, $12.99 per month, or $119.99 per year. Want more than one cup in a day? Credit packs work alongside a subscription, and credits never expire. To protect the service for everyone, we use automated anti-bot and anti-abuse measures (for example, rate limits on automated or scripted traffic); these never affect a person using the service normally.
Auto-renewal: your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period — every week, month, or year, matching the plan you chose — at the then-current price for that period, charged through PayPal, until you cancel. By subscribing you authorise this recurring charge.
Cancellation: you can cancel at any time — from within your PayPal account, or by contacting us at arorasakshamsa@gmail.com. When you cancel, your subscription stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for and then does not renew; we do not pro-rate or refund the remainder of a paid week, month, or year except as required by law or as described in the Refund Policy below.
Credit packs are digital goods delivered instantly, so purchases are generally non-refundable once the credits have been added to your account. By buying a pack you agree to immediate delivery and acknowledge this. Subscription renewals are likewise generally non-refundable once the new billing period (week, month, or year) has begun, but you can cancel at any time to stop future renewals.
We stand behind the experience. If you were charged in error, charged more than once for the same pack or renewal, or your credits or subscription access were not delivered, contact us at arorasakshamsa@gmail.com within 14 days and we will investigate and make it right, which may include restoring missing credits, restoring access, or issuing a refund. Nothing in this policy limits any non-waivable refund or consumer rights you have under the law where you live.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Groundlore is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, or for any decisions you make based on a reading. Your sole remedy if you are dissatisfied is to stop using the service.
You may stop using Groundlore at any time and request deletion of your data. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service or violate these terms.
