2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATFORM

HORA is a mobile application available on Google Play and the App Store, designed to offer advanced astrological analysis tools.

In addition, the application allows users to analyse planetary transits in real time, assess compatibility in interpersonal relationships and receive personalised notifications about relevant astrological events. These features give users a deeper understanding of astrological influences and help them make more informed decisions.

Use of HORA is subject to these terms and conditions, and the platform reserves the right to make improvements and updates at any time. HORA provides information for entertainment and guidance purposes, and decisions made based on its astrological analyses are the sole responsibility of the user.

The following terms apply to the downloading and use of the HORA application through the Apple App Store and are in addition to those established in these Terms and Conditions:

By downloading HORA from the App Store, the user acknowledges that this agreement is concluded solely between the user and HORA, and not with Apple. HORA is solely responsible for the application and its content; therefore, the use of the application must comply with the terms and conditions established by Apple in the App Store.

Apple is not obliged to provide any maintenance or support services in relation to the application. In the event that the application does not comply with an applicable warranty, the user may notify Apple, who may refund the purchase price of the application, if applicable.

The user accepts that Apple is not responsible for responding to any claim, dispute or legal action arising from the use of the application or the user’s possession of it, including, but not limited to: product liability claims, compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection laws. Likewise, in the event that a third party alleges that the application infringes their intellectual property rights, HORA and not Apple will assume exclusive responsibility for investigating, defending and resolving the claim in accordance with the provisions of these terms and conditions.

The user declares and guarantees that they are not in a country subject to embargo by the United States government, nor in a nation designated as a sponsor of terrorism by said government, and that they do not appear on any list of restricted or prohibited parties of the US government.

The user recognises and accepts that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and conditions with regard to the use of the application downloaded from the App Store, and that, upon acceptance of these terms, Apple shall have the right to enforce these terms and conditions against the user in its capacity as third-party beneficiary.

The user also undertakes to comply with all third-party terms and conditions that may be applicable to the use of the application, without this implying any liability for HORA or Apple for any breach of such agreements by the user.

6.2.  FROM THE PLAY STORE (GOOGLE)

The following terms apply to the download and use of the HORA application through the Google Play Store and are in addition to those set out in these terms and conditions:

By downloading HORA from the Google Play Store, the user acknowledges that this agreement is concluded solely between the user and HORA, and not with Google. HORA is solely responsible for the application and its content, so the use of the application must comply with the terms and conditions established by Google in the Google Play Store.

Google is not obliged to provide maintenance or support services in relation to the application. In the event that the application does not work properly or does not comply with an applicable warranty, the user may notify Google, who may refund the purchase price of the application, if applicable. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Google assumes no other liability with respect to the application, and any claims arising from the use or performance of the application shall be the sole responsibility of HORA.

The user accepts that Google is not responsible for responding to any claim, dispute or legal action derived from the use of the application or from the user’s possession of it, including, but not limited to: product liability claims, compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection laws. Likewise, in the event that a third party alleges that the application infringes their intellectual property rights, it will be HORA and not Google who will assume exclusive responsibility for investigating, defending and resolving the claim in accordance with the provisions of these terms and conditions.

The user declares and guarantees that they are not in a country subject to economic sanctions or embargoes by the United States government, nor in a nation designated as a sponsor of terrorism by said government, and that they do not appear on any list of restricted or prohibited parties of the US government.

The user recognises and accepts that Google and its affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and conditions with regard to the use of the application downloaded from the Google Play Store, and that, upon acceptance of these terms, Google will have the right to enforce these Terms and Conditions against the user in its capacity as third-party beneficiary.

The user also undertakes to comply with all third-party terms and conditions that may be applicable to the use of the application, without this implying any liability for HORA or Google for any breach of such agreements by the user.

 7. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Users can access the HORA application free of charge with the inclusion of advertisements or, alternatively, opt for a monthly subscription that allows the use of the application without advertisements. The subscription is available exclusively through the Google Play and App Store application stores, and its acquisition is managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of these platforms.

By subscribing, the user authorises the automatic collection of the corresponding amount in their payment method associated with their Google Play or App Store account in each billing cycle, until the subscription is cancelled.

Users can manage and cancel their subscription at any time through their account settings in Google Play or the App Store. Cancellation will prevent future automatic renewals, but the user will continue to have access to the ad-free features until the end of the current billing period. HORA does not offer refunds or adjustments for unused subscription periods, except as provided in the Google Play or App Store refund policies.

IF THE USER PURCHASES A SUBSCRIPTION, THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE RENEWED AUTOMATICALLY FOR THE SAME SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. TO AVOID ANY FUTURE UNWANTED CHARGES, THE USER MUST CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF ANY FREE TRIAL PERIOD, OR THE CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD,  AS CANCELLATION ONLY TAKEKES EFFECT IN THE NEXT BILLING CYCLE AND DOES NOT GIVE RISE TO REFUNDS FOR PERIODS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN BILLED. PLEASE NOTE THAT DELETING THE ACCOUNT AND/OR MOBILE APPLICATION FROM YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. HORA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CANCELATION OF ANY PURCHASES.

HORA does not directly manage payments or subscription cancellations, as these processes are subject to the terms, conditions and billing policies of Google Play and the App Store. In case of problems with billing, subscription renewal or cancellation, the user should contact the corresponding distribution platform directly.

HORA reserves the right to modify the subscription price, implement new payment options or make changes to the subscription conditions at any time. In the event of a change in prices, the user will be notified in advance through the corresponding platform, and such changes will only apply to the next billing cycle. Continued use of the subscription after any modification will be considered as acceptance of the new terms.

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

HORA provides its services and functionalities exclusively for informational and entertainment purposes, and under no circumstances does the information provided through the application constitute professional advice of any kind, including, but not limited to, psychological, medical, financial or legal advice. The interpretation of the birth chart, astrological transits, compatibility analysis and personalised notifications about astrological events are merely indicative, and any decision based on the information offered by the application is the sole responsibility of the user.

HORA does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or timeliness of the information provided through the application and is not responsible for any errors, omissions or misinterpretations arising from the use of its functionalities. Astrology is a subjective discipline with no recognised scientific basis, so the services offered should be understood only as a tool for personal exploration and not as a source of objective truth. The platform does not guarantee that the use of the information provided will produce a certain result or that the content is appropriate or applicable to the individual circumstances of each user.

The user recognises and accepts that they access and use HORA at their own risk and that the platform is not responsible for damages of any nature, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive, arising from the use or inability to use the application, including, without limitation, economic or emotional losses, interruption of personal or professional activities, decisions based on the interpretation of the astrological data provided or any other damage related to the application.

HORA assumes no responsibility for problems arising from user connectivity, failures in third-party platforms such as Google Play or the App Store, or any other event beyond its reasonable control that may affect access to the application, the availability of the service or the correct functionality of the subscriptions purchased. Likewise, the platform will not be responsible for the loss of user data derived from technical failures, account deletion, updates or changes in services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the total liability of HORA and its developers, employees, directors or affiliates for any claim related to the use of the application, whether contractual, non-contractual or of any other nature, shall be limited exclusively to the amount paid by the user for the subscription in the six (6) months prior to the claim, if applicable. In the case of users who use the free version with adverts, HORA will not be held responsible in any way for the use of the application.

In the case of any dispute, claim or controversy arising from the use of the application, the user recognises that HORA offers no guarantees and assumes no responsibility for the subjective interpretation of the information provided, and that any claim in this regard will be excluded within the limits permitted by applicable legislation.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any dispute, claim or controversy that arises between a user and HORA in relation to these terms and conditions, the use of the platform or the services provided, will be resolved exclusively through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation and arbitration, as detailed below.

Firstly, both parties agree to make every effort to resolve any dispute informally. This includes direct communication between the parties involved to identify and address concerns or disagreements quickly and efficiently. Users can contact HORA through the designated support channels to raise any dispute. The company undertakes to respond within a reasonable period of time, providing an opportunity to resolve the problem without resorting to formal proceedings.

If the parties fail to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days of the initial notification of the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to mediation. Mediation shall take place before a neutral mediator selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within an additional fifteen (15) days, a mediator will be appointed through a recognised mediation agency. The costs of the mediation will be shared equally between the parties, and the mediation will be conducted in English and at a mutually agreed location or, if both parties agree, through a virtual platform.

If the mediation does not result in a resolution satisfactory to both parties, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the applicable commercial arbitration or similar internationally recognised body. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve the dispute, including determining the applicability and validity of these dispute resolution terms. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on both parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the parties agree to waive any right to take the dispute to court or to participate in a class action.

This dispute resolution clause does not prevent HORA from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in the event of infringement of intellectual property rights, misuse of the platform or any act that may cause irreparable damage, in which case it may go directly to a court of competent jurisdiction without exhausting alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.

By accepting these terms, users expressly waive any right to a jury trial and agree that all disputes will be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this clause, with the aim of minimising the costs and time associated with formal litigation. The parties shall bear their own costs associated with mediation and arbitration, unless otherwise agreed or specifically provided for by the arbitrator.

17. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom. Any dispute relating to these terms and conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United Kingdom. This applies unless binding arbitration is agreed in the relevant section. 

18. INDEMNIFICATION

The user agrees to indemnify and hold HORA, its affiliates, employees, directors and agents harmless from any claim, liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from improper use of the application, violation of these terms and conditions or infringement of any third-party rights.

19. SEVERABILITY

If any section of these terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. Our failure to enforce or delay in enforcing any provision of these terms at any time does not waive our right to enforce the same or any other provision in the future.

20. TERMINATION

Both the user and HORA acknowledge that failure to comply with these terms and conditions may result in termination of the agreement between both parties. If the user fails to comply with any of the terms set forth in these terms and conditions, HORA reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the user’s access to and use of the platform. HORA may take this action without prior notice, and the User will automatically lose all rights to access and use the platform. Furthermore, HORA shall not be liable for any loss of data or information associated with the user’s account.

21. INTEGRATION CLAUSE

This agreement together with the privacy policy and any other legal notices published by HORA, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and HORA concerning and governs your use of the platform.

22. FORCE MAJEURE

HORA shall not be liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, fortuitous events, acts of civil authorities, acts of military authorities, riots, embargoes, acts of nature and natural disasters, and other acts that may be due to unforeseen circumstances.

23. FINAL PROVISIONS

Your use of our platform and purchase of our products is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with all of the terms and conditions set forth. This authorisation to use our services does not extend to jurisdictions where these provisions are not respected or applied.

Our commitment to compliance with these terms is strictly governed by applicable laws and legal process. Importantly, these terms do not restrict our ability to comply with legal or governmental requirements, including but not limited to those relating to law enforcement and the use of our platform. Information provided or collected in connection with your use of the platform and purchase of our products will be subject to these requirements.

In the event that any provision of these terms and conditions shall be declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court or competent authority, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. The failure or delay in enforcing any of these terms and conditions by us at any time shall not constitute a waiver of our rights to enforce such provision, or any other provision, in the future.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted herein, while at all times maintaining the protection of and respect for our intellectual property rights and prerogatives.
