Terms of Service

Last updated: 2 October 2026 Version: 2026-10-02

These terms are the agreement between you and Light Free Universe, California, United States ("we", "us") for the Light Free Universe app and website.

By creating an account you accept them. If you don't, don't use the service.

1. Who can use Light Free Universe

You must be at least 13. Some countries set a higher age for online services; if yours does, that age applies to you instead.

One person, one account. Don't create an account for someone else, don't impersonate anyone, and don't use an account that's been suspended by signing up again.

You're responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your password to yourself and tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has it.


2. What we collect about you

You give us an email address, a handle, your date of birth, and whatever you choose to post. That part you can see.

Beyond that, there is exactly one thing we work out about you that you didn't type: the country a request came from. Your IP address reaches our servers the way it reaches every website; we use it to look up a country, and then we discard it. The country is kept only as a count — so many views of this page, from this country, on this day — with no record of who was behind any of them.

Nothing else is collected. No GPS or precise location, no city, no contacts, no advertising identifier, no browsing outside this app, and no analytics company of any kind. There is no cookie, and the request that reports a page view carries no login token, so a page view cannot be connected to an account even by us.

The Privacy Policy sets all of this out in full, including how long things are kept and how to have them deleted.


3. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you post. Nothing here transfers your copyright.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, and display your content for the purpose of operating the service — showing your post in other people's feeds, generating a preview, delivering a message to its recipient. That licence ends when you delete the content, apart from copies in backups that expire on their normal schedule, and replies you left on other people's posts, which remain as described in the Privacy Policy.

You confirm that you have the rights to what you post, and that posting it doesn't break the law or somebody else's rights.

We don't review content before it appears. We may remove anything that breaks these terms or our Community Guidelines.

Your content and the Ask feature

Posts you publish may be used as source material when other people use the Ask feature. Answers attribute claims to the post they came from and link back. Private messages are never used this way.


4. What you may not do

The full list is in our Community Guidelines. In summary, don't post content that is illegal, that harasses or threatens people, that sexualises minors, that incites violence, or that you don't have the rights to.

Also don't:


5. Posting limits

Accounts are limited to a set number of posts and replies in each 24-hour period. The current limit is shown in the app.

These limits exist to make spam expensive. We may change them, and we may apply lower limits to accounts that look automated.


6. Direct messages

Message contents are encrypted where they're stored. We hold the keys, so we can read a specific message if it's reported to us, and we would comply with a valid legal order.

This is not an end-to-end encrypted messenger and you shouldn't treat it as one. The Privacy Policy explains why.


7. The Ask feature

Ask generates answers from posts published on Light Free Universe. Those posts are written by other users and are not verified by us.

Answers may be wrong, incomplete, or based on a post that is itself wrong. Treat them as a way to find content, not as a source of fact.

Ask is not professional advice. Don't rely on it for medical, legal, or financial decisions. Talk to a qualified professional.

Ask has a daily usage limit per account.


8. Moderation and suspension

We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend an account that breaks these terms or the Community Guidelines.

Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you what happened and why. For serious cases — content that endangers a child, credible threats, or a legal requirement — we may act immediately and without notice.

If you think we got it wrong, email [email protected] and a person will look at it.


9. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. Deletion is immediate and can't be undone. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what is removed and what is kept.

We may end your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or if we stop operating the service. If we stop operating it, we'll give you reasonable notice and a way to export your content.


10. The service is provided as it is

We work to keep Light Free Universe running, but we don't promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content on it is accurate. We don't endorse anything users post.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.


11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill.

Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 100.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, in which case they don't apply to you.


12. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of something you posted or did on Light Free Universe, you agree to cover our reasonable costs in dealing with it, provided we tell you about the claim promptly and let you take part in the defence.


13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect and ask you to accept the new version. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept it.


14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and disputes will be heard in the state and federal courts of California.

If you're a consumer, this doesn't take away rights you have under the law of the country you live in, including the right to bring a claim there.


15. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.

If we don't enforce something straight away, that doesn't mean we've given up the right to.

You can't transfer your account or these terms to someone else. We may transfer them if our business is sold, on notice to you.

These terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Community Guidelines are the whole agreement between us.
