Terms of Service

Last updated: 18 August 2026 · Effective for Astryks (the "Service"), operated by the holder of Australian Business Number (ABN) 74 309 712 800, trading as Astryks ("Astryks", "we", "us").

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using Astryks (the website, and the iOS/Android apps), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, subscribe, or post content on Astryks. By registering, you confirm you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

3. Your account

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us right away at support@astryks.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are used fraudulently (including artificially inflating likes — see Section 10), or are inactive for an extended period. You can block another member directly from their profile at any time — this stops you from seeing each other's posts and messaging each other, and can be undone at any time from your account settings.

4. Subscriptions & billing

Creating an account and posting to Astryks is always free — no subscription is required. Before subscribing, you can also preview a limited amount of the lesson library for free: currently 10 minutes of real lesson video per subject, tracked on your account. This free preview is offered at our discretion, separate from any trial mechanism offered by Stripe, Apple, or Google, and we may change or discontinue it at any time without notice.

Astryks is offered as a recurring weekly or annual subscription, at your choice. On the website, prices are quoted in AUD; on iOS/Android, in USD. If you're billed in another currency, Stripe, Apple, or Google converts the charge to your local currency at checkout — the amount shown there is your exact charge. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel — you can cancel any time from your account settings (or, on iOS/Android, through your device's app store subscription settings), and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, with no partial-period refund for canceling early. Prices may change with notice; continuing to use the Service after a price change takes effect means you accept the new price.

Refunds: if you're not happy with Astryks, you can request a full refund of your current subscription within 90 days of your subscription's start date, no questions asked, by emailing support@astryks.com or through the Manage Subscription screen in your account — unless a promotional/referral code was used on that subscription period, in which case that period isn't eligible for this refund guarantee. Refund requests made after the 90-day window, or for subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play, are handled by Apple's or Google's own refund process rather than by us directly (see below).

On iOS and Android, subscriptions are billed and managed through Apple's or Google's payment systems and are subject to their respective terms and refund policies, not ours, once purchased through the app.

5. Referral program

Astryks may let you share a personal referral code. If someone you refer subscribes using your code and remains a paying subscriber for 90 consecutive days, we'll pay you a referral reward (currently AU$50 or the equivalent in your local currency) — we may change this amount, or end the referral program entirely, at any time with reasonable notice, without affecting rewards already earned. A referral code does not discount the price for the person who uses it; it's solely a way for us to track and pay the referrer. We reserve the right to withhold or reverse a referral reward if we reasonably believe it was earned through fraud, self-referral, or abuse of the program (e.g. creating fake accounts to refer yourself).

6. Content you post

You keep ownership of anything you post to Astryks (photos, videos, text, links — "User Content"). By posting, you grant Astryks a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, and display that User Content on the Service (including in the Hall of Fame, if we or the automatic monthly selection feature it) for as long as your post exists or your account is active. You confirm you own or have the rights to everything you post, and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights.

7. Copyright complaints

If you believe something posted on Astryks infringes your copyright, email support@astryks.com with: (1) a description of the copyrighted work, (2) a link or description identifying where the material appears on Astryks, (3) your contact details, and (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorized and that your notice is accurate. We'll investigate and remove infringing content we confirm, and may terminate the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe others' rights. If you believe your own content was removed in error, contact us at the same address to request a review.

8. Course content

Lesson videos and other course material are owned by Astryks or our instructors and licensed to you for personal, non-commercial viewing as part of an active subscription. You may not download, redistribute, or resell this content.

9. The Hall of Fame

Astryks periodically features member posts in the Hall of Fame — a curated gallery, not a prize or sweepstakes. There's nothing to enter, no purchase or subscription required, and no cash involved: some posts are picked by our team, and each calendar month the 5 posts with the most likes are added automatically. Being featured doesn't transfer ownership of your post — see Section 6 above.

10. Things you agree not to do

Astryks has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior of any kind. Don't: post anything illegal, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative (especially involving minors — we have zero tolerance for this and will report it to the relevant authorities), or infringing someone else's rights; use bots, purchased likes/followers, multiple accounts, or any other artificial means to inflate likes; scrape or resell course content; impersonate anyone; or interfere with the Service's normal operation. Every post can be reported with the in-app Report button, and you can block any abusive member from their profile at any time — see Section 3. We review reports and act on them, including removing content and suspending or ejecting the responsible account, within 24 hours.

11. Termination

You can delete your account at any time from your profile. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms. If we terminate your account for cause, we're not obligated to refund any unused portion of your subscription.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is." We don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any lesson will make you an expert — outcomes depend on you. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Astryks and its team aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim arose. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited under applicable consumer law (including the Australian Consumer Law, if you're an Australian consumer).

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we'll make reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g. in-app or by email) before it takes effect.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and any dispute will be handled in the courts of New South Wales, Australia — unless a mandatory law in your country of residence says otherwise.
