Terms
Terms of Use
These are the terms for using Lumeriad. They are written to be read, not endured. If something here is unclear, email and ask.
Lumeriad is run by Mathew Field, a solo operator. There is no company behind it and no team. Using the site means you accept what follows.
What Lumeriad Does
You enter your full birth name and your date of birth. Lumeriad computes your Life Path, Expression, Soul Urge, Personality, Birthday, Maturity and Balance numbers, your birth grid and its lines of strength, your Personal Year, Month and Day, your four Pinnacles and four Challenges, and your karmic debts and karmic lessons. Every step of the arithmetic is printed beside the answer, so you can check the working yourself.
That is the whole service. Lumeriad treats numerology as a companion to astrology, never a rival to it. It is a way of looking at a name and a date and finding something to think about.
Readings Are Not Advice
Readings are offered for personal insight and reflection. They are not medical advice, not legal advice, not financial advice and not psychological advice, and they must not be used in place of any of those. If you need a doctor, a lawyer, an accountant or a therapist, please go to one.
A reading is not a prediction and does not guarantee any outcome. Nothing on this site can tell you what will happen. Please do not make an irreversible decision on the strength of a reading alone. Take it as one voice among the others you already trust.
What Belongs To Whom
The interpretive text on this site, the articles and library pages, the design, and the code that casts the readings all belong to Lumeriad. You may not republish them wholesale, resell them, or reproduce them in bulk elsewhere, whether as text on another site, as part of another product, or as training material for a system that reproduces them.
Your own reading is yours. Keep it, print it, save it, screenshot it, hand it to a friend, quote it in your journal, tattoo it on your arm. It was cast from your name and your birth date and no permission is needed to do what you like with it. Short, credited quotations from the site's writing are fine too.
Acceptable Use
Use the site as a person would. Do not scrape it. Do not run automated bulk casting, script the reading endpoint, or hammer the server to harvest interpretations. Do not attempt to break, overload, probe or bypass any part of it, and do not use it to build a competing copy of the same thing.
If usage from an address looks automated or abusive, it may be blocked without notice. That is not a judgement of you personally; it is a small site with one person paying for the server.
The Free Tier
The free readings are offered as-is and as-available. Nothing is promised about uptime, and no result is warranted to be correct, complete or fit for any particular purpose. The site may go down, change, or be slow.
Readings require an account. How many free readings are offered, and what they include, may change at any time. The count of those you have used is held on your account record, so it follows your account rather than your browser - signing in elsewhere shows the same count, and clearing your browser data does not reset it.
Paid readings and subscriptions are billed through Stripe. A subscription runs until the end of the period you have paid for, and cancelling stops the next renewal rather than ending the current period. Readings bought outright do not expire.
Paid plans, and what you are agreeing to
Paid plans are live and handled by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe's own pages; Lumeriad never sees a card number and has no field that could accept one.
Prices are shown before you buy and nothing is charged without you completing Stripe's checkout. A subscription renews until you cancel; cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves the period you have already paid for intact. Readings bought outright do not expire.
If something is charged in error, write to the contact address and it will be refunded. That is a commitment, not a process to argue with.
Advertising On Library Pages
Lumeriad intends to carry advertising from Google AdSense on its library and article pages only. Those ads will be non-personalized, meaning they are chosen by what is on the page rather than by anything about you.
Ads will never appear on a reading, or on any page where you type a name or a birth date. Honestly stated: even with non-personalized ads, Google uses advertising cookies for frequency capping and fraud prevention. Your name and birth date are never involved in any of it, and are never sold, shared, traded or rented to anyone at any price.
Liability, In Plain Words
Lumeriad is a numerology site run by one person. To the fullest extent the law allows, it is not liable for any loss, damage, cost or missed opportunity arising from your use of the site or from anything a reading says, including decisions you make after reading one. If some liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the amount you have paid Lumeriad in the twelve months before the claim.
This does not take away rights you hold as a consumer that cannot be signed away.
Changes And Contact
These terms may be updated. When they change in a way that matters, the change will be noted on this page with the date it took effect, rather than slipped in quietly. Continuing to use the site after that means you accept the updated terms.
Questions, complaints, corrections, or a request to have something taken down: email Mathew. A real person reads it.
