Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

1.1 Acceptance

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Flickerdeck, including visiting our website at flickerdeck.com (the “App,” “Website,” “Service,” or “Platform”), you enter into a legally binding agreement with Moments of Meaning Oy, a company registered in Finland (Business ID: 3496269-7) (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). If you do not agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”), you must not use our Service.

1.2 Legal Capacity

You represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

1.3 Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at our discretion. Material changes will be communicated through in-app notifications, email (if provided for support purposes), or prominent notice within the App or Website. Your continued use of the Service after notification of changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you disagree with any changes, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Service.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

2.1 Minimum Age

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Flickerdeck. By using the Service, you affirm that you meet this age requirement.

2.2 Age Verification

We reserve the right to implement age verification mechanisms and to terminate accounts of users who misrepresent their age.

2.3 Regional Age Requirements

In jurisdictions where the minimum age for digital consent is higher than 13 (for example, 16 in some EU member states), you must meet the higher age requirement for your region.

2.4 App Store Ratings

App store content ratings (such as 12+ or Teen) indicate content appropriateness categories and do not supersede our legal age requirements stated herein.

3. Service Description

3.1 Nature of Service

Flickerdeck is a digital self-reflection and personal development platform that uses symbolic card imagery and AI-powered interpretations. Our Service includes:

• Flickerdeck App: A mobile application for personal journaling and reflection, mindfulness practices, creative thinking and introspection, pattern recognition in personal experiences, and goal setting and self-discovery.
• Flickerdeck Website: A content and gallery site at flickerdeck.com featuring a browsable deck gallery of tarot, oracle, and lenormand decks; educational content about tarot card meanings, spreads, and practices; and links to download the app.

3.2 Entertainment and Educational Purpose

3.3 AI-Generated Content

Our Service utilizes artificial intelligence to generate personalized interpretations and affirmations. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated content is created algorithmically and may contain inaccuracies
• Interpretations are generalized and not tailored to your specific circumstances
• The AI has no actual knowledge of your personal situation
• Output quality and relevance may vary
• We do not guarantee any specific outcomes from using AI features

AI Transparency: You are interacting with AI software, not a human. These features respond automatically using artificial intelligence.

3.4 Professional Consultation

For matters requiring professional expertise, including but not limited to health concerns, financial planning, legal issues, or psychological support, you should consult qualified professionals. Flickerdeck is not a substitute for professional services.

3.5 Deck Gallery

Our website features a gallery of tarot, oracle, and lenormand decks compiled from publicly available sources including crowdfunding campaign data, supplemented with AI-generated descriptions and editorial content. You acknowledge that:

• Gallery listings are provided for informational and discovery purposes only
• Deck descriptions, features, and other gallery content may be AI-generated or editorially summarized, and may contain inaccuracies or outdated information
• A deck's presence in the gallery does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or partnership between us and the deck's creator, publisher, or rights holder, unless the deck is explicitly marked as available on Flickerdeck
• Not all decks listed in the gallery are available for purchase or use on the Flickerdeck platform
• Images of third-party decks shown in the gallery are displayed in limited, partial form for identification and reference purposes

Corrections and Removal Requests: If you are a deck creator, publisher, or rights holder and wish to correct information about your deck or request its removal from our gallery, please contact us at legal@flickerdeck.com. We will review requests and respond within 30 days.

4. Account and Authentication

4.1 Device-Based Authentication (App)

The Flickerdeck app uses device-based authentication. No email address or personal account creation is required to use the App. Your data is associated with a unique identifier created when you first launch the app.

Device-Linked Access: Your access is linked to your device and platform account (Apple ID or Google account). If you replace or reset your device, you may need to use the store's “Restore Purchases” feature to regain access to paid content. We do not maintain user accounts or email addresses in-app, so some local data may not be recoverable after device loss or reset.

Because we do not maintain email-based accounts, we may be unable to recover content stored only on your previous device if it is lost, reset, or inaccessible.

4.2 Website Access

The Flickerdeck website is publicly accessible and does not require any account, login, or authentication. No personal information is needed to browse the deck gallery or read educational content.

4.3 Account Responsibility

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the security of your device
• All activities that occur through your device
• Backing up your device data according to your device manufacturer's recommendations

4.4 Account Restrictions

You may not:

• Share your device access for the purpose of sharing paid content
• Create multiple instances to circumvent Service limitations
• Use automated systems to create accounts or access the Service

5. Subscriptions and Purchases

5.1 Pricing and Payment

5.1.1 Current Pricing

Pricing for subscriptions and in-app purchases is displayed within the App and may vary by geographic region, promotional periods, platform (iOS/Android), currency fluctuations, and A/B testing and optimization.

Taxes: Prices may include applicable taxes (e.g., VAT/GST). For in-app purchases, taxes and invoices are handled by the app store as merchant of record.

5.3 Deck Purchases

5.3.1 Digital Content Access

When you purchase a deck, you are purchasing a license to access digital content within the Flickerdeck app. No physical cards or products are provided. Your purchase grants access to the digital deck imagery within the Flickerdeck platform, access to deck imagery and basic meanings without requiring a subscription (AI-powered interpretations and personalized guidance require an active subscription), and access tied to your device/platform account with the ability to restore purchases on the same platform account.

Access may end if: (i) the purchase is refunded or charged back, (ii) removal is required for legal or safety reasons, or (iii) we discontinue the Service after reasonable notice and, where required by law, offer a proportionate remedy.

5.4 Refund Policy

5.4.1 Platform-Controlled Refunds

Purchases made via Apple App Store or Google Play are governed by the applicable store's refund policies, which may include statutory cooling-off/withdrawal rights for EU/UK consumers. Refunds are determined and processed by the store. When a refund is granted, access to refunded content ends immediately.

• iOS purchases: Request via reportaproblem.apple.com
• Android purchases: Request through Google Play Store support

5.4.2 EU/UK Consumer Rights

Consumers in the EU and UK have statutory rights under consumer protection laws. These rights are processed through the respective app store's refund mechanisms. Where a statutory right of withdrawal or remedy applies, app-store providers act as merchant of record and process refunds via their systems; we honor their decisions in your in-app access.
