Welcome to the terms and conditions page of
www.agatha-skyangel.com

You understand and agree that (i) Agatha Skyangel is a fictional character which uses spiritual consultations prewritten by human authors or generated by our artificial intelligence software; (ii) while the Services may be personalized to identify you by name or other means, the Services are not unique to you, and we may send identical or substantially similar spiritual consultations to multiple users; (iii) we do not offer medical, financial, or legal advice, nor any other professional services which require licensure under state or federal law; (iv) all payments are solely for the delivery of pre-written or A.I. generated literary works of fiction intended for entertainment and amusement purposes only; and (v) despite any statements made in the literary works of fiction that the fictional character of Agatha Skyangel has engaged or will engage in any ritual, reading, revelation, or other spiritual ceremony, Agatha Skyangel is a fictional character who cannot conduct such ceremonies, and IWS has not, does not, and will not conduct such ceremonies.

You acknowledge and agree that our Services may include chats and other media generated by our artificial intelligence software (“Synthetic Media”), and that we may use your communications to us as prompts for our artificial intelligence software. We take great measures to ensure that the Synthetic Media does not inadvertently include errors, including (i) inaccurate or biased statements of fact or other hallucinations, (ii) inaccurate descriptions or depictions such as humans with physical deformities, abnormalities, or other mutations, and (iii) links to inaccurate or irrelevant third-party materials (“Output Errors”). Since the Synthetic Media is generated by our artificial intelligence software and is largely determined by your prompt, we cannot guarantee that the Synthetic Media will not include Output Errors. You understand and agree that (i) the Synthetic Media may include Output Errors, (ii) while deficiencies in our artificial intelligence software may play some role in the generation of Output Errors, the quality of your prompt is likely the determining factor in the generation of any Output Errors, (iii) the generation of Output Errors is likely the result of user error, and (iv) well-written prompts are less likely to generate Output Errors. We expressly disclaim any liability for Output Errors being included in the Synthetic Media, and you agree to release us from any claims arising therefrom. We encourage you to double check the factual accuracy of all statements in the Synthetic Media. If you are aware of any Output Errors in the Synthetic Media, we kindly ask that you report such Output Errors by sending an email to [email protected]. This helps improve our systems and prevent Output Errors from appearing in the Synthetic Media in the future.

You may sign up to receive the Services by providing us with your contact information, such as an email address. If you fail to provide the required information, if we reasonably believe that you have provided false, misleading, inaccurate, incomplete, not current, or otherwise incorrect information to us, if you fail to promptly update such information to maintain its accuracy and completeness, or if we or any of our authorized agents have reasonable grounds to suspect that a violation of this provision has occurred, we may reject, suspend, or terminate your access to the Services, as well as subject you to criminal and civil liability. Acceptance of registration is subject to our sole discretion.

You may terminate your access to the Services by clicking “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any email message that we send to you, or by sending an opt-out request to [email protected].

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion, including if you violate these Terms and Conditions. If we terminate your access to the Services, you will be responsible for all charges related to your activities prior to the time of termination.

We are not responsible for preserving information about your use of the Services after termination, and we may permanently delete such information in our discretion.

You understand that all we are offering you is access to and use of the Services, as we provide them from time to time. You need to provide your own access to the Internet, hardware, and software, and you are solely responsible for any fees that you incur to access or use the Services.

You may access and use certain public areas of the Services and public Materials, free of charge. We grant you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, and non-transferable license, for personal, private, non-commercial purposes, to access and use the features on the Services which are provided free of charge. This free license does not include a license to access paid Materials or to use any paid features on the Services.

If you purchase license(s) to access paid Materials or to use paid features on the Services, we also grant you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, and nontransferable license, for personal, private, non-commercial purposes, to access the paid Materials or to use the paid features associated with the license(s) that you have purchased. These paid licenses do not include a license to access paid Materials or to use paid features that are not associated with the license(s) that you have purchased. The rights and limitations associated with, and the prices of, each paid license are displayed on the Services at the time of purchase. You understand and agree that (i) all you are purchasing is a license to access the paid Materials or to use the paid feature, (ii) we will remain the rightful owner of all copyrights in the paid Materials, and (iii) such paid Materials may be removed from the Services by us, at any time, for any reason, thereby terminating your license to access such paid Materials. We may change the fees and terms associated with your license to access such paid Materials. All previous offers and discounts for such licenses are unavailable once removed from the Services. Regardless of whether such features or Materials are paid or free, we reserve the right to limit the features and Materials that we make available to you, and your license to access and use the Services, the features, and the Materials is not a transfer of title. You will not copy or redistribute any Materials, and you will prevent others from unauthorized access, use of, or copying of the Materials.

A. Prohibited Uses

We may pursue any legal remedies or other appropriate actions against you if you engage in any of the above Prohibited Uses or otherwise violate these Terms and Conditions or any international, foreign, or domestic laws, including civil, criminal, or injunctive relief, and termination of your access to the Services.

B. Law Enforcement

We will fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities or orders from courts of competent jurisdiction, requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or location of any user in breach of these Terms and Conditions, in accordance with our privacy policies, law enforcement policies, and applicable law. If we receive a subpoena, discovery request, production order, search warrant, or court order in response to your activities which causes us to incur legal expenses, costs, or fees for compliance, you agree to reimburse us for any such legal expenses, costs, and fees upon our request.

A. Purchases

If you provide valid and current payment information, you may purchase license(s) to access specific piece(s) of the paid Materials for so long as that specific piece of paid Material remains on the Services. You understand and agree that that specific piece of paid Material may be removed from the Services by us, at any time and for any reason.

The price of any goods or services sold or licensed by us and the terms governing your access to and use of such goods or services are displayed on the Services at the time of purchase.

You acknowledge that the charge on your banking statement may display IWS, International Web Services, Agatha Skyangel, one of our other brand names, or our third-party billing agent’s name. You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees or penalties that are associated with your purchases on the Services. Your purchase will be deemed past due if it is not paid in full by the payment due date. Your card issuer agreement may contain additional terms with respect to your rights and liabilities as a card holder. You agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon cancellation or termination of your access to the Services.

C. Third-Party Payment Processing

We utilize various third-party payment processors and gateways, and we reserve the right to contract with additional third-party payment processors and gateways in our sole discretion to process all payments associated with the Services. Such third parties may impose additional terms and conditions governing payment processing. You are responsible for abiding by such terms. We further disclaim any liability associated with your violation of such terms.

D. Changes to Your Billing Information

You must promptly inform our third-party billing agents of all changes, including changes in your address, debit or credit card, and other banking information used in connection with billing through the Services. You are responsible for any debit or credit card charge backs, dishonored checks, and any related fees that we incur with respect to your use of the Services, along with any additional fees or penalties imposed by our third-party billing agents.

E. Chargebacks

If you make a purchase on the Services that results in a chargeback, we may terminate your access to the Services. You agree to contact us to seek a resolution of any issue before initiating a chargeback.

F. Changes to Our Billing Methods

We reserve the right to make changes at any time to our fees and billing methods, including the addition of administrative or supplemental charges for any feature, with or without prior notice to you.

G. Refunds

We offer a standard thirty (30) day refund policy on all purchases, provided you have not placed multiple orders at the same time. After this period, all purchases are final and nonrefundable. We reserve the right to address all refund requests in our sole discretion. In no instance will a refund be provided if you initiate a chargeback.

H. Billing Errors

If you believe that you have been erroneously billed for activity associated with your use of the Services, please notify us of such error immediately. If you do not do so within thirty (30) days after such billing error first appears on any billing statement, the fee in question will be deemed acceptable by you for all purposes, including resolution of inquiries made by or on behalf of your banking institution. You release us from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported within thirty (30) days of the bill being rendered to you. These Terms and Conditions shall supplement and be in addition to any terms and conditions imposed by third party billing entities we engage to provide billing services. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with such entity’s terms and conditions in addition to those contained in these Terms and Conditions.

I. Fraudulent Use of Credit Cards

We take credit card fraud very seriously. Discovery that you have used a stolen or fraudulent credit card will result in the notification of the appropriate law enforcement agencies and termination of your access to the Services.

A. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and Conditions and all matters arising out of, or otherwise relating to, these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Florida, excluding any conflict of law principles. Any and all disputes must be, without exception, resolved in Orange County, Florida, and the parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue therein. The parties additionally agree that this choice of venue and forum is mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding any possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to, or arising out of, these Terms and Conditions in any other jurisdiction. All parties hereby waive any right to assert the doctrine of forum non-conveniens or similar doctrines, or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph or with respect to any dispute under these Terms and Conditions whatsoever. You agree to accept service of process by registered or certified mail, Federal Express, or Priority Mail, with proof of delivery or return receipt requested, sent to your last known address for any legal action arising from these Terms and Conditions. Any final judgment rendered against a party in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive as to the subject matter and may be enforced in any manner provided by law if such enforcement becomes necessary.

B. Waivers

You hereby waive any right or ability to initiate any class action or collective proceeding along with any right to trial by jury.

C. Rights to Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide us with full compensation in the event you breach these Terms and Conditions, and that we shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief in the event of any such breach, in addition to seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity. You stipulate to a finding of irreparable injury in any claim by us for injunctive relief.

D. Additional Fees

If we are required to enlist the assistance of an attorney, investigator, collections agent, or other person to (i) collect any damages or any other amount of money from you, (ii) pursue any claim against you involving your use of the Services or any breach of these Terms, or (iii) defend any claim brought by you involving your use of the Services or any alleged breach of these Terms, then you additionally agree that you will reimburse us for all fees, costs, and expenses incurred if we prevail. You understand that even a nominal amount of damages may require the expenditure of extensive legal fees, travel expenses, costs, and other amounts that may dwarf the damages themselves. You agree that you will pay these fees and costs.

A. We Disclaim All Warranties

We provide access to and use of the Services “as is” and “with all faults.” We make no warranty that the Services will meet your needs or requirements. We disclaim all warranties — express, statutory, or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort, quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, performance, accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, title, exclusivity, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement, and warranties that your access to or use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that loss of Materials will not occur, to the greatest extent provided by applicable law. We may change any of the information found on the Services at any time or remove any or all Materials. We make no commitment to update the Materials. We make no warranty regarding any goods or services purchased or obtained through the Services or any transaction entered into through the Services.

C. Third-Party Links

The Services may contain links to websites or resources owned and operated by third parties. You understand and agree that we have no control over, are not responsible for, and do not screen nor warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the goods or services provided on third-party links. We will not be a party to or be in any way responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and other providers of products or services. As with the purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any environment, you should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate. You agree to hold us harmless from all damages and liability that may result from use of third-party links that appear on the Services and any advertising, services, goods, products, or other materials available on third-party links. We are not responsible for any use of confidential or private information by third parties. You agree that your use of any third-party link or the goods or services provided thereon is governed by the policies of those third parties, not by these Terms and Conditions or our other policies. We reserve the right to demote or remove any link at any time.

D. Violations of Law

Access to and use of the Services in violation of any law is strictly prohibited. If we determine that you have provided or intend to purchase or provide any goods or services in violation of any law, your ability to access and use the Services will be terminated immediately. You do hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any liability that may arise for us should you violate any law. You also agree to defend and indemnify us should any third party be harmed by your illegal actions or should we be obligated to defend any such claims by any party.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, telecommunication providers, attorneys, and agents, from and against all claims, actions, loss, liabilities, expenses, costs, or demands, including without limitation legal and accounting fees, for all damages directly, indirectly, or consequentially resulting or allegedly resulting from your actions, or the actions of another person under your authority, including without limitation to governmental agencies, use, misuse, or inability to use the Services, or any breach of these Terms and Conditions by you or another person under your authority. We shall promptly notify you by electronic mail of any such claim or suit, and we may cooperate fully (at your expense) in the defense of such claim or suit. We reserve the right to participate in the defense of such claim or suit at our own expense, and choose our own legal counsel; however, we are not obligated to do so.

You understand that the risk of harm or damage from this rests entirely with you, and you expressly release us from any liability arising out of the Materials. You discharge, acquit, and otherwise release us, our parent company, agents, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, attorneys, and affiliates, from all allegations, counts, charges, debts, causes of action, and claims relating in any way to the use of, or activities relating to the use of the Services including claims relating to the following:

The above list is intended to be illustrative only, and not exhaustive of the types or categories of claims released by you. This release is intended by the parties to be interpreted broadly in our favor, and thus any ambiguity shall be interpreted in a manner providing release of the broadest claims. This release is intended to be a full release of claims, and the parties acknowledge the legally binding nature of this provision, and the nature of the rights given up in connection therewith.

You agree that any damages awarded in connection with any claim arising from these Terms and Conditions shall be limited to the amount paid by you to us within the six (6) months preceding the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is less.
