Terms of Service

Natal Path, by Paths of a Tangled Heart

These terms are the agreement between you and Paths of a Tangled Heart ("POATH", "we"), South Carolina, USA, for using the Natal Path app. By using it, you agree to them; if you don't, please don't use it. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. Bracelet purchases follow our separate Shop Terms.

1. Using Natal Path

• Free to use. Charts, readings, games, tracing and the rest work free, with or without an account.
• Ages. You must be 13 or older to make an account, buy medallions, or use friends features. Under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission to buy anything.
• Your account. Sign-in uses Google or an emailed code; keep access to that email secure. One account per person. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
• Your device, your data. Most of what you enter stays on your device (see the Privacy Policy). If you clear your browser's data or lose your device without a backup, we can't recover it. Medallions in a signed-in wallet are kept on our server.

2. Medallions and purchases

Medallions are the app's in-app tokens. You can earn them free (daily, discoveries) or buy them in packs.

• No cash value. Medallions, coin designs and other in-app items are a limited license to use features inside Natal Path. They aren't money, can't be exchanged for cash or goods, and have no value outside the app.
• Prices. Packs are shown with their price before you buy, in US dollars. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see your card.
• Spending cap. Purchases are capped at $15 per calendar month, per account.
• Nothing random. Every purchase shows exactly what you get. There are no loot boxes or chance-based purchases, and the games pay out nothing.
• Refunds. Medallions are delivered right away, so purchases are final, except where the law requires a refund or something went wrong (a charge with no medallions, a duplicate charge). Contact us within 14 days and we'll make it right. If a payment is refunded or disputed, the medallions from it are removed.
• "Say thanks" tips ($1, $3, $5 or $10) are voluntary gifts that support POATH. They don't buy medallions or features and aren't refundable except as above.
• No reselling. Medallions and in-app items can't be sold, traded for money, or transferred outside the app's own gifting features (when available).
• Changes and resets. We may adjust prices or features with notice. If we ever close the app, we'll give at least 30 days' notice and stop selling medallions first.

3. For reflection, not advice

• Astrology, tarot, crystal meanings, moon lore, scripture readings, meditations and path tracing are offered for reflection, creativity and self-care. They're traditional and symbolic, not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and aren't meant to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
• Calculations aim to be accurate, but mistakes can happen. Don't rely on the app for anything where accuracy is critical.
• If you're struggling, please reach out to a professional or someone you trust.
• Moving safely. For features that involve walking or moving, check that your space is clear, stay aware of your surroundings, never use them while driving or near traffic, stairs or water, and only walk where you have permission to be.

4. Ownership and fair use

• Ours. Natal Path, its code, text, art, sounds, games, calendar paths and the POATH name and logo are owned by Paths of a Tangled Heart's creator, all rights reserved. Using the app gives you a personal, non-commercial right to use it, nothing more.
• Yours. What you enter (notes, journal entries, birth details) is yours. Shareable cards you choose to create are yours to share.
• Credits. Third-party works used in the app (such as astronomy software and public-domain art) are credited in the app and remain their owners'.
• Please don't: copy, resell or rebuild the app or its designs; break or get around its security, spending cap or limits; use bots or automated tools against it; access others' accounts; or use it to harass, defraud or harm anyone.
• Feedback. If you send ideas or suggestions, we may use them without owing payment or credit.

5. The fine print

• As is. We work hard to keep Natal Path running well, but it's provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.
• Limits. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it (or $50 if you paid nothing). Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
• Ending. You can stop using the app or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms; unless the breach is fraud or abuse, we'll tell you why.
• Changes. If we change these terms in a meaningful way, we'll post the update with its date and note it in the app before it takes effect. Keeping on using the app after that means you accept the new terms.
• Law and disputes. These terms follow South Carolina law. Let's try to work things out by email first; if we can't, disputes go to the state or federal courts in South Carolina, unless the law where you live gives you other rights.
