Lumineus

Terms of Service

Last updated: [date before launch]

These terms govern your use of Lumineus. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them.

1. The service

Lumineus is a curated, searchable library of public-domain esoteric texts with AI-generated, cited answers drawn from those texts. It is provided for personal study and research.

2. Your account

Provide accurate details, keep your password secure, and don't share your account. You are responsible for activity under your account. One account is for one person.

3. Acceptable use & fair usage

  • Use the service for your own private study only.
  • Do not scrape, bulk-download, systematically extract, resell or redistribute the library, its arrangement, or the answers.
  • Do not attempt to bypass rate limits or access controls, or use automated means beyond normal personal use ("fair usage").

4. Intellectual property

The underlying source texts are in the public domain. However, our curation, arrangement, metadata and the synthesised answers are protected — including under the EU sui generis database right — and remain our property. We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use them for private study. This does not permit commercial use, redistribution, or re-creation of the database.

5. AI-generated answers

Answers are generated by an AI model from the retrieved public-domain passages. They may contain errors or omissions and are not professional, medical, legal, financial or spiritual advice. Always check answers against the cited sources. Use them at your own discretion.

6. Subscriptions & billing

Free accounts include a daily search allowance. Premium is a paid subscription ([current price]), billed through our payment provider acting as merchant of record. You can cancel at any time; access continues to the end of the paid period. We will give notice of any price change.

7. Availability & changes

We aim for a reliable service but provide it "as is" without guaranteed uptime. We may change, suspend or discontinue features, and may suspend accounts that breach these terms.

8. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for reliance on AI-generated answers. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of [country/jurisdiction]. Contact: [contact email].
