Terms of Service

Shine Your Inner Light LLC

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the Terms below): EnergyPhoto™ is for fun, reflection, and personal growth — it is not medical, psychological, or scientific. The colours are a playful visual effect, not a measurement of you — EnergyPhoto™ never identifies you, scans your face, or infers anything about your health or emotions. Your photos are never used to train AI models, by us or by anyone we work with. Only photograph people who have agreed to it. Payments run through WHOP. Disputes are resolved by individual arbitration, and you can opt out within 30 days.

1. Welcome

We believe in exploring energy, awareness, and personal growth with curiosity, joy, and empowerment.

These Terms of Service (“Terms“) are a binding agreement between you and Shine Your Inner Light LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our“), and govern your access to and use of our products and services (collectively, the “Services“), including:

• EnergyPhoto™ — our web application at energyphoto.app, including the EnergyPhoto™ Experience subscription (the “App“). EnergyPhoto™ runs in your browser; nothing is installed on your device, and it is not distributed through any app store.
• Digital books (children’s and adult)
• Guided meditations
• Digital content in multiple languages
• Our websites, including shineyourinnerlight.com and energyphoto.app

By purchasing, accessing, or using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

These Terms apply whether or not you pay us. They govern your use of the free parts of the Services — including browsing our sites, using our free guided meditations, and any free use of EnergyPhoto™ — exactly as they govern anything you purchase. Your obligations under these Terms — including Section 7.5 (permission to photograph other people) and Section 17 (indemnification) — apply from the moment you first use the Services, not from the moment you pay.

2. Definitions

• “EnergyPhoto™” means our hosted web application at energyphoto.app and the EnergyPhoto™ Experience subscription, together with all outputs, interfaces, and related content. It is a digital service, not a downloaded product.
• “Your Content” means photographs, images, text, and other material you upload, submit, or create using the Services.
• “Output” means any image, color, name, description, or other result produced by the Services.
• “WHOP” means Whop, Inc., our Merchant of Record.

3. Eligibility and Age Requirements

• EnergyPhoto™ is intended for users 18 years of age or older, or for users under 18 only with the involvement and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on their behalf and accepts responsibility for that use.
• The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create an account or upload photographs. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it. See our Privacy Policy.
• Certain digital books are written for children. Those books are intended to be purchased by an adult and shared with a child; the purchasing adult is the account holder and is responsible for the account.
• By using the Services you represent that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

4. Nature of the Services

All content, features, and Output are provided for:

entertainment, spiritual wellness, self-reflection, and personal growth purposes only.

The Services are creative and interpretive experiences. They are not a measurement, scan, test, diagnostic, or scientific instrument, and they do not detect, measure, or reveal any physical, biological, medical, energetic, or biometric property of any person, animal, or object. Words used in the Services — including “aura,” “energy,” “reading,” “scan,” “vibe,” and “compatibility” — are used in an artistic and symbolic sense only.

5. No Medical, Psychological, or Professional Advice

The Services:

• Are not medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, diagnostic, or health advice
• Are not diagnostic tools and are not scientifically validated
• Are not legal, financial, or professional advice of any kind
• Do not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, or other professional relationship

Never disregard, avoid, or delay obtaining advice from a qualified health professional because of anything you see in, or generate with, the Services. If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, contact your local emergency number or a qualified professional immediately.

You are solely responsible for how you interpret and use the content and Output.

6. How the Output Works

Your Output is entertainment. The colours, names, and descriptions EnergyPhoto™ produces are a designed visual and creative gesture — a playful effect applied to your photograph, in much the way a photo filter is.

6.1 How we make it

We use a range of technologies to produce your Output. These may include artificial-intelligence or machine-learning services, including third-party providers, and the technology we use may change over time as we improve the Services.

What we use does not change what the Output is. However it is produced, it remains decorative and symbolic — never a measurement, reading, or assessment of you.

6.2 What it never does

Whatever technology is involved, nothing in EnergyPhoto™:

• performs facial recognition, face matching, identity verification, or face search;
• creates a faceprint, face template, face-geometry scan, or voiceprint;
• detects, measures, or infers your health, medical condition, emotions, mental state, demographics, or any biological or physiological characteristic;
• identifies you, or compares your photograph against any database;
• produces any factual, scientific, medical, or diagnostic finding about any person or animal.

6.3 What you agree

• Output is decorative, symbolic, artistic, and interpretive
• Output does not represent any factual, scientific, medical, or objective finding about you or anyone else
• Output may vary — between sessions, users, devices, and over time, including for the same photograph — and we do not warrant that it will be accurate, meaningful, reliable, consistent, repeatable, or fit for any purpose
• Output is produced automatically, and we do not review it before you see it

About the playful language. Words and phrases used in the Services — including “aura,” “energy,” “frequencies,” “reading,” “scan,” “analyzing,” “biofield,” and “vibe” — are artistic and figurative language only, used in the spirit of fun. They do not describe, and are not intended to describe, any process of measuring, diagnosing, or assessing a person, and nothing of the kind takes place.

7. Your Photos and Your Content

This section is important. Please read it carefully.

7.1 You keep ownership

You retain all ownership rights in Your Content.

7.2 Limited license to us

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to host, store, reproduce, modify, and process Your Content solely to the extent necessary to operate and provide the Services to you — for example, to generate your Output, display it back to you, and enable features you request. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except where we must retain material to comply with law, or where you have already shared Output publicly.

7.3 We never train AI on your photos

We do not use Your Content to train, fine-tune, or develop artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models, and we do not license or sell Your Content to any third party for that or any other purpose.

This applies to anyone we work with. Where a third-party provider processes your photograph to produce your Output, we contractually require that they must not train on it, retain it beyond what is needed to return your Output, or use it for their own purposes. See our Privacy Policy for how images are handled and retained.

7.4 We do not use your photos for marketing without permission

We will not use Your Content in advertising, promotional material, or public showcases without your separate, express, opt-in permission.

7.5 Photographing other people — your responsibility

The Services let you take and upload photographs of other people, including friends, family, children, and pets. You are solely responsible for obtaining permission. You represent and warrant that, for every photograph you upload:

• You own it or have all rights necessary to upload it and grant the license in Section 7.2;
• You have obtained the informed consent of every identifiable person in it, and, where that person is a minor, the consent of their parent or legal guardian;
• You have obtained any consent required under applicable biometric-privacy, image, publicity, or data-protection laws in your jurisdiction; and
• Uploading it does not violate any law or any other person’s rights.

Do not photograph anyone who has not agreed to it.

7.6 Prohibited content

You will not upload Your Content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, sexualizing of minors, depicting non-consensual intimate imagery, or that violates any person’s privacy or publicity rights. We may remove any content and terminate any account for violation of this Section without notice.

7.7 Your Energy Journal

Your Journal is stored in your private account area, reachable from any device you log in from. It is private to you and not visible to other users, and you can download or delete any entry at any time.

Your Journal is deleted when your subscription ends. We do not retain it afterwards. Please download anything you want to keep before your subscription lapses — once deleted, we cannot restore it. See Privacy Policy §4.3.

7.8 Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.

8. User Responsibilities and Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not:

• Misuse, interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Services or any related systems or networks
• Access the Services by automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) except as we expressly permit
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, or attempt to derive their source code or algorithms — including by analysing network traffic or client-side code
• Bypass, disable, or circumvent any security, rate-limiting, paywall, or access-control feature
• Use the Services or any Output to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, or develop any AI or machine-learning model or dataset
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services or Output except under a written agreement with us (see Section 11)
• Use the Services to make claims about anyone’s health, medical condition, character, fitness for employment, credit, housing, or insurance, or in any way that could produce a legal or similarly significant effect on a person
• Impersonate any person, or misrepresent your affiliation with us
• Use the Services in violation of any applicable law or regulation

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

9. Intellectual Property

All content and materials in the Services — including software, interfaces, algorithms, text, images, meditations, books, designs, and the marks Shine Your Inner Light, EnergyPhoto™, and associated logos — are owned by or licensed to Shine Your Inner Light LLC and are protected by intellectual-property laws.

Subject to these Terms, and for personal, non-commercial use only, you may use Output you generate from your own photographs, including sharing it on social media.

You may not:

• Copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, or resell any part of the Services, or create derivative works from them
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, or attempt to derive their source code or algorithms
• Use the Services or any Output for AI training or datasets
• Scrape, crawl, or harvest the Services or any Output by automated means
• Remove or obscure any watermark, attribution, or notice
• Use our trademarks, or anything confusingly similar to them, without our prior written permission

Software licensing is additionally governed by the EULA.

10. Purchases, Merchant of Record, Subscriptions, and Auto-Renewal

10.1 Merchant of Record (WHOP)

Payments are processed by WHOP, which acts as merchant of record — WHOP is the named seller on your card statement and receipt, and handles payment processing through its financial partners.

WHOP’s role is limited to the payment. We — Shine Your Inner Light LLC — remain the seller of the Services and remain responsible for the Services themselves, their delivery, customer support, refunds, and compliance with consumer-protection law.

• Your purchase is additionally subject to WHOP’s Buyer Terms and privacy policy
• We do not receive or store your full payment-card details
• Refunds, returns, and payment disputes are handled by us, not by WHOP — please contact help@energyphoto.app first, and see our Refund Policy

10.2 Pricing and taxes

Prices are shown at checkout and may change. Any applicable sales tax or VAT is shown and collected at checkout through WHOP. We remain responsible for ensuring the correct tax is applied, reported, and accounted for.

10.3 Subscriptions and automatic renewal

If you purchase a subscription (including the EnergyPhoto™ Experience):

• Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, until you cancel;
• The billing interval and price are disclosed to you at checkout before you purchase;
• You may cancel at any time through your WHOP account or by contacting help@energyphoto.app;
• EU/UK/EEA consumers: a subscription is a digital service, and you may have a pro-rata right of withdrawal within 14 days of your initial purchase — see Refund Policy Section 4.2;
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep access until then;
• Except where required by law, fees already paid are not refunded on cancellation, and partial periods are not prorated.

10.4 Free trials and promotions

If we offer a free trial or promotional rate, we will disclose its length and the price that applies afterward. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription will convert to a paid subscription automatically.

11. Affiliate, Referral, and Partner Programs

We operate affiliate and referral programs, including the EnergyPhoto™ Experience affiliate program and the Global Uplifters directory.

• Participation requires our approval and is governed by the separate program terms you accept on enrollment; those terms control in the event of conflict with these Terms as to the program.
• Affiliates and directory members are independent third parties. They are not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, or representatives of the Company, and they have no authority to bind us or make representations on our behalf.
• Affiliates must comply with FTC endorsement and disclosure guidance and all applicable law, and must not make medical, therapeutic, scientific, or earnings claims about the Services.
• We may modify, suspend, or terminate any program, and any individual’s participation, at any time.
• We are not responsible for any agreement, product, service, session, or booking between you and any affiliate or directory member. That agreement is solely between you and them.

12. Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Nothing in the Refund Policy limits non-waivable statutory rights.

13. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may link to or interoperate with third-party sites, platforms, and services (including WHOP, social platforms, Substack, and Amazon). We do not control them, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content, products, practices, or policies. Your use of them is governed by their terms.

13A. Global Availability and Local Law

The Services are offered globally over the internet from the United States. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available in every location. You are responsible for complying with the laws of your own country, and for determining whether your use is lawful where you are. We may limit or block access from any jurisdiction at our discretion, and we may restrict access where required by export-control or sanctions law (see the EULA).

Where the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence gives you rights greater than these Terms provide, that law prevails to the extent of the conflict.

13B. Accessibility

We aim to make the Services usable by as many people as possible and work toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. If you encounter a barrier, please tell us at help@energyphoto.app and we will work with you to provide the information or function you need through an alternative means.

14. Termination and Suspension

• You may stop using the Services and cancel any subscription at any time (Section 10.3).
• We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or the EULA, if required by law, or to protect the Services or other users.
• We may modify or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.
• On termination, your license ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive — including Sections 5, 6, 7.2, 7.5, 9, 12, 15–19, and 22–26 — survive termination.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES, CONTENT, AND OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that Output will be accurate, consistent, or meaningful.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• We are not liable for any emotional, spiritual, psychological, physical, financial, reputational, or personal outcomes arising from the Services or Output
• We are not responsible for decisions you or anyone else makes based on our content or Output
• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (US$50.00)

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and are a fundamental basis of the bargain between us.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the limitation of liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Shine Your Inner Light LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your use or misuse of the Services or Output;
• Your Content, including any claim that you photographed or uploaded an image of a person without their consent, or that Your Content infringes or violates any third party’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or biometric-privacy rights;
• Your violation of these Terms, the EULA, or any applicable law; or
• Your participation in any affiliate, referral, or directory program.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense.

18. Dispute Resolution — Informal Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

18.1 Informal resolution first

Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at help@energyphoto.app with a written description of the dispute and to work with us in good faith for sixty (60) days to resolve it informally. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

18.2 Agreement to arbitrate

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by [AAA — American Arbitration Association / JAMS — SELECT ONE] under its [Consumer Arbitration Rules] then in effect, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

The arbitration will be conducted in [Wyoming] or, at your election, in your home county or by telephone or video conference. The arbitrator’s award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

18.3 Class action waiver

YOU AND WE AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court and is severed from arbitration.

18.4 Your right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to help@energyphoto.app with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out,” including your name and the email address on your account. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms, and it will not affect your use of the Services.

18.5 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

18.6 Jurisdictions where this does not apply

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law prohibits or restricts pre-dispute arbitration agreements or class waivers with consumers, this Section 18 does not apply to you to the extent prohibited, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. EU consumers may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform.

19. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 18, the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration is the state and federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of habitual residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country where applicable law gives you that right.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice — for example, by email or by an in-Service notice — and update the “Last Updated” date above. Changes take effect on the date stated in the notice. Your continued use of the Services after that date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Services and cancel your subscription.

Material changes do not apply retroactively to disputes arising before the effective date of the change.

21. Notices and Electronic Communications

You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email and in-Service notices, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. Notices to us should be sent to help@energyphoto.app.

22. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental action, epidemic, internet or utility failure, or failures of third-party providers.

23. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

24. Severability, Waiver, and Entire Agreement

• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the EULA, Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede all prior understandings.
• No third-party beneficiaries, except as expressly stated.
• Relationship. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.

25. Agreement Hierarchy

If there is a conflict between these Terms and:

• the EULA — the EULA governs regarding software usage and licensing;
• the Privacy Policy — the Privacy Policy governs regarding personal data;
• the Refund Policy — the Refund Policy governs regarding refunds;
• WHOP’s terms — WHOP’s Buyer Terms govern regarding payment processing and your card transaction. Refunds and disputes remain governed by our Refund Policy;
• separate program terms (affiliate, directory) — those terms govern regarding that program.

In all other respects, these Terms govern.
