Terms of Service

Last updated: June 21, 2026

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you") and Sprezza LLC ("Sprezza," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Astronote mobile application, the website at https://www.astronoteapp.com, and any related services (together, the "Services"). Astronote is a product of Sprezza LLC, a limited liability company registered in Illinois, United States.

By creating an account, downloading the app, or otherwise using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and material changes will be communicated through the app or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

The Services are general-purpose and are not designed to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA, GLBA, or FISMA. Do not use the Services for any data or purpose that would subject us to those regulations.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live (generally 18), you may only use the Services with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

To use most features you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep it up to date, and to keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@astronoteapp.com if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information or that violate these Terms, and we may reclaim usernames that are inappropriate or misleading.

3. License to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Astronote app on a device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, except where that restriction is prohibited by law; (c) remove or obscure any proprietary notices; (d) rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the Services; (e) use any automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Services or collect data from them; (f) interfere with or disrupt the Services or attempt to gain unauthorized access to them; or (g) use the Services to build a competing product.

App stores. If you download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an "App Provider"), your use is also subject to that App Provider's terms. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Sprezza LLC, not the App Provider, and that the App Provider is not responsible for the app or its content. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. The App Providers are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

4. Subscriptions, fees, and payment

Astronote is free to download and offers an optional paid (premium) version through in-app purchase or subscription.

• Billing. All purchases and subscriptions are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, not directly by us. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Your purchase is governed by the App Provider's terms in addition to these Terms.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in line with App Store / Google Play rules. Your account will be charged for renewal through your App Provider.
• Cancellation. You can cancel or manage your subscription at any time through your Apple or Google account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds. Payments are generally non-refundable except where required by law or by the App Provider's refund policy. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google. If you have a concern, you can also email us at support@astronoteapp.com.
• Price changes. We may change prices for the premium version. Changes will not affect your current billing period and, where required, we will give you notice and the chance to cancel.

5. Your content

"Your Content" means everything you create or upload in the Services — your journal entries, gratitude notes, mood and habit logs, goals, photos, and similar material.

You own Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it. You grant us only a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, back up, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Services to you — for example, to save your entries and sync them across your devices. We do not sell Your Content, and we do not use the contents of your private entries to target advertising. Our handling of Your Content is described in our Privacy Policy.

This license exists only so we can run the Services for you, and it ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for content retained in routine backups for a limited period or as required by law.

Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights to it. While Astronote is designed as a private space and your entries are not made public by us, you agree not to use the Services to store or transmit material that is illegal, infringes others' rights, or violates these Terms. We do not routinely monitor Your Content, but we may remove content or suspend accounts that we believe violate these Terms or the law.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Services to:

• violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of others;
• upload viruses or malicious code, or otherwise interfere with, disrupt, or overburden the Services or their infrastructure;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts, systems, or data;
• harass, abuse, defraud, impersonate, or harm us, our staff, or other users;
• attempt to learn other users' passwords or sensitive information;
• circumvent or disable security or access-control features of the Services;
• scrape, data-mine, or systematically extract data from the Services; or
• use the Services for any commercial purpose not expressly permitted by us.

7. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Services ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or compensation to you. Feedback is provided voluntarily, and we are free to use it to improve the Services.

8. Advertising

The Services may display advertising provided by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob). We are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or for products or services they promote, and your dealings with advertisers are solely between you and them. How advertising data is handled, and your choices about personalized ads, are described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Our intellectual property

The Services — including the app, website, software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the "Astronote" name and marks — are owned by or licensed to Sprezza LLC and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted to you in these Terms, we reserve all rights. You may not use our names, logos, or marks without our prior written permission.

10. Third-party services

The Services rely on and may link to third-party services (such as Apple, Google, Firebase, and ad networks). We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, practices, or availability. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

11. Privacy

We care about your privacy. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information, and is incorporated into these Terms. The Services are operated from the United States; by using them, you consent to the processing of your information in the United States as described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any content (including Your Content) will not be lost or corrupted. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of important content. Astronote is a self-improvement and journaling tool and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, financial, or other advice.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SPREZZA LLC AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sprezza LLC and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Services, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

15. Term and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Services. You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time (in the app's settings, or by emailing support@astronoteapp.com). We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if you violate these Terms or the law, or to protect the Services or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as content ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

16. Modifications and availability

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, and we may impose limits on certain features. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services, or for any unavailability, downtime, or data loss, to the extent permitted by law.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the dispute-resolution section below, you agree that any court actions will take place in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

18. Dispute resolution

Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@astronoteapp.com and allowing 30 days to work it out.

Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as noted below. The arbitration will take place in or near Cook County, Illinois, or by phone, video, or document submission where the rules allow. You understand that you are giving up the right to a jury trial.

Class-action waiver. Disputes will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, or representative action.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or address unauthorized access or misuse.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@astronoteapp.com with your name and a statement that you wish to opt out.

If any part of this section is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply, and any claim not subject to arbitration will be decided in the courts identified in the Governing Law section.

19. California users

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to this notice: if you have a complaint that is not resolved, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (800) 952-5210.

20. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Sprezza LLC regarding the Services. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic agreements and notices satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.
