Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Axolve LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. They cover the websites and applications published by Axolve LLC. By using them, you agree to these terms.

Who can use them

You need to be at least 13 years old to use our services, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live. If you are not, please do not use them. Our services are not directed to children, and the Privacy Policy says the same.

Your license to use the apps

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our applications for your own use. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, or create derivative works from the applications or their content, except where the law expressly permits it. The applications, their code, and their content remain the property of Axolve LLC.

If you installed one of our apps from an app store, the license for that copy is the store’s own standard end-user license agreement, and that agreement governs your use of it. These terms cover our websites and our relationship with you — your account, purchases, and support — and where the two ever disagree about the app itself, the store’s agreement wins.

Accounts

An account is optional unless a feature says otherwise. If you create one, keep your email address current — it is how you sign in and how we reach you. You are responsible for activity on your account. We may suspend or close accounts used to abuse the service, interfere with other users, or break the law. You can delete your account at any time; the Privacy Policy describes what happens to your data.

Things not to do

We have kept this list short and mean it plainly. Please do not:

• Break the law with our services, or use them to harm or harass anyone.
• Try to get at parts of the service that are not yours — other people’s accounts, our servers, or data you were not given.
• Disrupt the service for other people: overwhelming it with automated requests, scraping it wholesale, or reselling access to it.
• Work around the things you paid for, or help others do so — including circumventing the checks that decide whether a purchase unlocked your account.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the applications, except to the extent the law says you may do so regardless of what we write here.

Security research is welcome, and this list is not meant to discourage it. Tell us first at support@axolvellc.com, give us a reasonable chance to fix what you find, and do not access anyone else’s data while you look.

What you create

Anything you make with our applications stays yours. We claim no ownership of the simulations and settings you save.

To store your work and show it back to you, we need your permission to hold and display it — so by saving it you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to do exactly that, and nothing else. If you choose to publish something, that license extends to showing it to the people you published it to, for as long as it stays published. It ends when you unpublish or delete the work, apart from copies sitting in routine backups until those age out.

You are responsible for what you publish, and it must not be unlawful or infringe anyone else’s rights. We may remove published content that breaks these terms. If you believe something published through our services infringes your copyright, write to support@axolvellc.com with enough detail to identify the work and where it appears, and we will deal with it.

Purchases and refunds

Some features are sold as a one-time unlock tied to your account. The price is shown at checkout. Web purchases are processed by our payment processor; on mobile platforms, purchases made through an app store are handled and refunded under that store’s rules. If you want a refund on a web purchase, email support@axolvellc.com within 14 days of the purchase and we will refund it; a refund removes the unlock from your account.

If you are in the EU, EEA, or UK: by purchasing you request immediate access to the digital content and acknowledge that the statutory withdrawal right ends once delivery begins. Our voluntary 14-day refund policy above applies regardless.

What the apps show

Our applications are educational and visual. Quantities they display — such as modeled lunar temperatures or simulated physics — are estimates produced by physical models, not measurements, and can differ from reality. They are provided for education and exploration, and must not be relied on for operational, navigational, safety-related, or other critical purposes.

Warranty and liability

The services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the same extent, Axolve LLC’s total liability arising out of the services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms limits rights that consumer law does not allow to be limited, and nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes

We may update these terms as the products evolve. If they change materially, we will update the date at the top of this page. Using the services after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA. If you live elsewhere, any consumer protections of your place of residence that apply by law are unaffected.

The rest

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about the services. If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest still stands. If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later. You may not transfer your rights under these terms to someone else; we may transfer ours if the business changes hands, and your rights under these terms come with you if we do.
