1. Who we are and what these terms cover
These terms are an agreement between you and Lumen Domus Schola LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("we," "us"), for the Lumen Domus Schola app, the website lumendomusschola.com, and any related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
The Service is available in your web browser and, where released, as apps for iPhone and Android. One subscription and one account work across all of them.
2. Who can use the Service
You must be at least 18 years old and the parent or legal guardian of any student you add. One subscription covers one household — the account holder's own children or legal wards.
Children. Your children may use the Service only through your account (kid mode) or through a student login you create for them from inside your own account. When you do that, you accept these terms on your child's behalf and you are responsible for your child's use of the Service. A child cannot sign themselves up. Student logins are only for your own children or children for whom you are the legal guardian; you can reset a student login's password or remove it at any time. We don't independently verify that a person claiming to be a parent is one. We never show ads to, market to, or sell information about children — see the Privacy Policy for how children's information is handled.
3. Your account
Keep your password confidential. The optional parent PIN is a convenience lock for shared devices, not a substitute for a password. Tell us right away at hello@lumendomusschola.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Subscriptions, trials, and billing
- Paid service. After the free trial, the Service requires a paid subscription. Current plans and prices are shown at lumendomusschola.com; prices are in US dollars and exclude any applicable taxes, which are calculated and added at checkout.
- Free trial. New subscriptions start with a 5-day free trial. A payment method is collected at signup and your subscription begins and your card is charged automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically — monthly or yearly depending on your plan — at the then-current price until you cancel. We'll email you at least 30 days before any price increase, and it will only take effect at your next renewal after that notice. We also email you before each yearly renewal and, on monthly plans, once a year, with your plan, its price and how to cancel. Starting a trial at checkout is your agreement to the automatic renewal shown there.
- Cancel anytime. Cancel from the billing portal in the app or on the website; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you keep access until then. Deleting the app from your device does not cancel your subscription — cancel in the billing portal, or delete your account, which cancels it for you.
- Plan changes. You can switch between monthly and yearly in the billing portal on our website; the change takes effect right away and is prorated, so the unused part of your current plan counts toward the new one, and a change during your free trial keeps the trial's end date. You can also start a new subscription on the plan you want; the new plan takes effect right away and we cancel the old one for you, so you are never billed twice: if the old plan was still in its free trial it ends immediately and is never charged, and if it was already paid for, it stays active until the end of the period you have paid for and then simply does not renew. If anything about a change looks wrong on your invoice, email us and we will put it right.
- Billing questions. If you think a charge is wrong, tell us within 60 days of the charge so we can look into it.
- Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law. The free trial is there so you can decide before you're charged — but if something's gone wrong, email hello@lumendomusschola.com and we'll try to make it right.
- Founding-member price. Founding-member annual subscriptions keep their launch price for as long as the subscription remains continuously active.
- Failed payments. If a payment fails we may keep your access for a short grace period while it is retried, then suspend it until payment succeeds.
- App-store purchases. We currently sell subscriptions only through our website via Stripe. If we later offer in-app purchases through Apple or Google, their terms will also apply to those purchases.
5. Your content, your records
You own the plans, notes, records, and photos you put into the Service. You give us a limited license to store, process, and display that content solely to provide, secure, and improve the Service for you — including rendering it into the printable pages and reports you request. We do not use your family's content to train AI models, we do not use your photos in our marketing, and we never sell information about your family. You promise you have the right to upload anything you add — in particular, photographs should be of your own family, or of others only with their (or, for a minor, their parent's) permission — and curriculum materials are uploaded for your family's personal use only; we do not redistribute them. We may remove content that violates these terms or the law.
Your records are yours. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter, and we encourage you to keep your own copies. Anything you print or export — planner pages, reports, the year-end yearbook — is yours to keep and use for your family, during and after your subscription. The page designs, templates, and layouts themselves are ours; you may print them for your own family's use but not resell or redistribute them.
After you cancel. When a subscription ends, your data stays in your account for 30 days so you can print or export it, and may then be deleted. When you delete your account, your data is removed as described in the Privacy Policy.
6. AI features and accuracy
Curriculum scan and field-trip suggestions are generated by a third-party AI service and can be wrong, out of date, or incomplete. Once you accept a suggestion into your plan it becomes your content, and you should review it before relying on it or handing it to anyone else. Check lesson lists against your materials, and confirm venue hours, prices, safety, and suitability before you go. Because these features depend on outside providers, we may change or withdraw them if a provider changes or becomes unavailable. AI features are included in Premium for ordinary family use; we may limit unusually heavy or automated use (as a guide, more than about 20 curriculum scans or 10 field-trip searches a month) to keep the Service affordable for everyone.
We're a planning tool, not a school. Lumen Domus Schola is not a school, umbrella school, school of record, or accredited institution, and it does not provide educational, legal, or homeschool-compliance advice. We don't certify that your family meets any state's homeschool, attendance, or reporting requirements, and we can't guarantee that any evaluator, school district, umbrella program, or state agency will accept a report, portfolio, or record produced with the Service. You are responsible for knowing and meeting the requirements where you live. Attendance counts, reports, and the Year-End Report are convenience records built from what you enter.
7. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the Service: no unlawful content, no attempts to access other families' data, no reverse-engineering, scraping, or reselling, no uploading malware, and no using the Service to harass or harm anyone. Don't upload content you don't have the right to share.
8. Third-party services
The Service relies on providers named in the Privacy Policy (for example Supabase, Stripe, Anthropic, and Vercel) and may link to third-party websites such as field-trip venues. We're not responsible for third-party sites or services.
9. Changes to the Service
We're a small company and improve the Service continually. We may add, change, or remove features. If a change materially reduces what you paid for, you may cancel and, on request, we'll refund the unused portion of any prepaid period.
10. Termination
You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete my account (or by emailing us). Deleting your account cancels any subscription immediately, removes your family's data and photos, and deletes any linked student logins; we keep payment and tax records as the law requires. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with notice where practical. Sections that by their nature should survive (your content license for retained records, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law and disputes) survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and you should keep your own copies of anything important — the print and export features are there for exactly that.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost data or profits, arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $100. We're also not responsible for educational outcomes — the Service can't guarantee that any student learns, progresses, or achieves any result. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.
13. Indemnity
You'll defend and hold us harmless from claims arising from your content or your breach of these terms.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Duval County, Florida, and you and we each consent to that jurisdiction. Before filing anything, please email us at hello@lumendomusschola.com — nearly everything is faster to fix that way.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For material changes we'll notify you in the app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept them. If you don't agree to a material change, you may cancel and ask us for a refund of the unused portion of any prepaid period. Any dispute is governed by the version of these terms in effect when it arose.
16. Apple and Google
If you use the app on an Apple or Google device, these terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. We alone are responsible for the app and its content. You must comply with the app store's own terms, and with any third-party terms that apply when you use the app (for example, your mobile carrier's).
For the iPhone app, these additional terms apply:
- License. You may use the app on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as the App Store's Usage Rules allow, including through Family Sharing. The license is not transferable.
- Support. We alone provide maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support.
- Warranty. To the extent any warranty applies, we alone are responsible for it. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, you paid for the app; Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to it.
- Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- Legal compliance. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and on your acceptance of them Apple will have the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Questions, complaints or claims about the app go to us, not Apple: see Contact below.
