These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Giangerostudio ("we", "us", "our"), the developer and publisher of the mobile and desktop application Gnosis ("Application", "App").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Gnosis, or by making any in-app purchase, you signify that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the App and uninstall it from your device.
In accordance with the European Union Digital Services Act (DSA) and applicable consumer protection regulations, the trader and operator of this Application is disclosed as:
| Entity / Developer | Giangerostudio (Sole Developer) |
|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | Hellenic Republic (Greece), European Union |
| Contact Email | giangerostudio@gmail.com |
| Application | Gnosis (Android Package: com.gnosis.feasts) |
Gnosis is an interactive Christian liturgical calendar companion designed for Orthodox and Catholic Christians. The core features of the App are provided completely free of charge and include:
The Application allows users to acquire digital consumable items designated as "Virtual Candles" ("Candles"). When purchasing or lighting Candles within Gnosis, you explicitly acknowledge and agree to the following conditions:
Virtual Candles are purely digital, intangible graphical representations within the software. The purchase or lighting of a Virtual Candle does NOT result in the creation, shipping, physical delivery, or real-world lighting of any wax, oil, or beeswax candle in a physical church, shrine, chapel, or monastery.
Lighting a digital candle is an interactive visual practice meant solely for personal prayer focus, meditation, and devotional reflection. We make no representations, promises, or warranties regarding spiritual outcomes, divine favor, answer to prayer, or metaphysical results.
Giangerostudio is an independent software development studio and is not a registered church, monastery, ecclesiastical body, or tax-exempt 501(c)(3) / non-profit charitable entity. Payments for Virtual Candles are commercial purchases of digital content and cannot be claimed as tax-deductible charitable contributions.
All in-app purchases are processed solely and securely through Google Play In-App Billing (operated by Google LLC / Google Commerce Limited). We do not store, process, or have access to your credit card, debit card, or banking details.
Under Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU on Consumer Rights, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content does not apply once the performance of the contract has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and acknowledgment that they lose their right of withdrawal.
Because Virtual Candles are consumable digital items delivered and consumed immediately upon activation, purchases are generally final and non-refundable. Any requests for refunds must be submitted directly through the Google Play Store Purchase History / Google Play Refund Center in accordance with Google Play's standard refund policies.
The Application includes an exploratory feature known as "Word of God AI", designed to assist users in discovering Scripture passages, biblical contexts, and liturgical themes.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Gnosis Application on your compatible personal devices for personal, non-commercial purposes.
All original code, user interface designs, audio recordings, graphic layouts, and compiled database structures within Gnosis are the intellectual property of Giangerostudio or are utilized under applicable open-source and fair-use licenses. Public domain liturgical texts and biblical translations remain the property of their respective traditions or domains.
"AS IS" BASIS: Gnosis is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular spiritual or calendar purpose, or uninterrupted availability.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, in no event shall Giangerostudio, its developers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data or emotional distress arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Application, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. In all cases, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for in-app purchases within the Application in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hellenic Republic (Greece) and the applicable directives and regulations of the European Union, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are an EU consumer, mandatory statutory protections provided by the laws of your country of residence also apply.
European Union consumers may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
