Terms of Service
Last updated: July 2026
1. What Purple Tome is
Purple Tome (“Purple Tome”, “the app”, “the service”) is operated by works on my machine LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“we”, “us”, “our”). Purple Tome generates Zi Wei Dou Shu (“Purple Star”) astrology charts and personalized interpretations from the birth details you provide. Everything we produce is offered for entertainment and personal reflection only. It is not medical, financial, legal, psychological, or any other kind of professional advice, and should never be used as the sole basis for an important decision.
2. Eligibility & your account
By using Purple Tome you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or using the app with a parent or guardian's consent), and you agree to:
- Use the app for lawful, personal purposes;
- Provide birth information that is accurate (we can't account for inaccuracies in what you enter);
- Keep your account credentials secure and not share your account;
- Not disrupt, overload, scrape, reverse-engineer, or attempt to break the service.
3. Payments & subscriptions
Purple Tome offers a free tier and paid subscription plans (monthly and annual). By subscribing you authorize us and our payment processors (Stripe on the web; the Apple App Store or Google Play for in-app purchases) to charge the applicable fee.
- Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, and you are charged before the new period begins, until you cancel.
- Cancellation: You may cancel at any time through the store or billing channel you subscribed with. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for.
- Refunds: Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, and partial-period fees are not prorated. Purchases made through Apple or Google are subject to their refund policies.
- Price changes: We may change prices or plan features; we'll give reasonable notice, and changes apply to the next billing period.
4. Intellectual property
The interpretations, written content, and design of Purple Tome are ours (or used with permission). The underlying charting engine and classical source texts are open-source and credited accordingly. Please don't scrape, resell, or republish our generated content as your own. You're welcome to share your own chart and readings personally.
5. No professional advice & no guarantees
Astrology is an interpretive tradition, not a science. We don't promise that any reading is accurate, complete, current, or predictive, and readings are not a substitute for professional judgment. You are solely responsible for how you choose to act on anything you read here.
In particular, some readings touch on health, wealth, and relationships. Nothing in Purple Tome is medical, health, financial, investment, or legal advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making any medical, financial, or other important decision — never rely on a reading in place of that advice.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory — including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free, or that any content or result will meet your expectations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will works on my machine LLC or its owners, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the service — even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100. These limits apply regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based.
8. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless works on my machine LLC and its owners, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected to your use of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
9. Dispute resolution & class-action waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court where eligible.
You and we each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. To the extent any claim is not subject to arbitration, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
10. Governing law
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
11. Changes to the service & these Terms
We may add, change, pause, or discontinue features at any time, and we may update these Terms from time to time. When changes are significant we'll give reasonable notice where we can (for example, by updating the “Last updated” date above). Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
12. Severability & entire agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions stay in full effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the service and supersede any prior agreements.
