Terms of Use

Last updated: November 2, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Sage & Sage, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“we,” “us,” or “our”), which operates astonish·ly. They apply to the astonish·ly mobile app and the astonishly.com website (together, the “Service”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

2. About the Service

astonish·ly provides short daily posts about the design found in nature and the universe, in adult and Kids versions, in English and Spanish. The content is written from a faith-based perspective: most posts refer to God, often as Creator or Designer. The Service is for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Eligibility

  • You must be 13 or older to create an account, or older if your country sets a higher minimum age.
  • If you’re under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
  • Children under 13 may use the app only on a device that a parent or guardian has signed in to with the parent’s own account. The parent is responsible for that use.

4. Your account

  • Give us an accurate email address and keep your password private. You’re responsible for activity under your account, including on any device you sign in for a child.
  • Tell us right away at hello@astonishly.com if you think someone has used your account without permission.
  • You can delete your account anytime in the app or at astonishly.com/delete-account. Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a subscription (see Section 5).

5. Plans and subscriptions

Plans. We offer a Free plan and paid Individual and Family plans. Current features and prices are shown in the app and may vary by country.

  • Free: one person, up to 2 signed-in devices, with a limited number of new posts.
  • Individual: one person, up to 2 signed-in devices, billed monthly or yearly.
  • Family: billed yearly, for up to 6 signed-in devices in total, shared by members of one family (see Section 6).

Billing. Paid plans are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and payment is charged to your Apple or Google account when you confirm the purchase. Your purchase is also subject to that store’s terms.

Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app or your account doesn’t cancel it.

Cancellation. If you cancel, you keep paid access until the end of the current billing period. Your account then moves to the Free plan: you keep your place in the posts, new posts follow the Free schedule, and paid posts in your library are locked until you subscribe again.

Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We can’t issue refunds for purchases made through their stores.

Price changes. We may change prices. Apple or Google will notify you as required before a price change applies to your subscription, and you can cancel before it takes effect.

Plan changes. Upgrades between plans are handled by the App Store or Google Play, including any credit for unused time.

Discount codes. We may offer promotional or group discount codes. Codes have no cash value, can’t be resold, and are subject to any terms stated with them.

6. Family plans and devices

  • Plan owner. The person who buys a Family plan (the “plan owner”) manages it, including inviting members and removing members or devices.
  • Members. Family plans are for members of one family. Members 13 or older join with their own account through the plan owner’s invite. Children under 13 use the plan only on a device the parent or guardian signs in to with their own account.
  • Device limits. Each signed-in device uses one of the plan’s device slots. A device that hasn’t opened the app in 60 days is removed automatically. We may limit or review unusual sign-in activity to prevent sharing outside the plan’s terms.
  • Shared daily post. Members may choose to match the plan owner’s daily post. Matching gives them the same post each day from that point on, not the plan owner’s earlier posts.
  • Leaving. If a member is removed or the Family plan ends, that member moves to the Free plan and keeps their place in the posts.
  • Double billing. If you join a Family plan while you have your own subscription, you’re responsible for canceling it in your store account.

7. Our content and your license

All posts, text, images, audio, and other materials in the Service, and the astonish·ly name and logo, belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark laws.

We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service and its content for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. You may use the app’s built-in share feature to share individual posts with others.

Posts are provided for educational and inspirational purposes. We work hard to be accurate, but we don’t guarantee that every detail is complete or current, and posts aren’t professional, scientific, or religious advice.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Copy, scrape, redistribute, sell, or publish our content outside the app’s share feature, or use it to train artificial intelligence models.
  • Share your account, sell access to it, or get around device limits, plan limits, or subscription controls.
  • Use a Family plan for people outside your family, or a group discount outside its terms.
  • Reverse engineer, interfere with, or overload the Service, or access it by automated means.
  • Use the Service for anything unlawful or harmful.

9. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonable, we’ll tell you first. If we end your access for reasons other than your breach of these Terms, we’ll help you request a refund of any prepaid, unused subscription time through Apple or Google. We may also change or discontinue features of the Service.

11. Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON’T PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE WON’T BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US $50.

Some places don’t allow these disclaimers or limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be waived.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Will County, Illinois, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. Before filing a claim, please email us at hello@astonishly.com so we can try to resolve it informally.

14. Apple and Google

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store:

  • These Terms are between you and Sage & Sage, LLC, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or privacy claims, and intellectual property infringement claims.
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the app.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you downloaded the app from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you in the app or by email before they take effect and update the “Last updated” date. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you don’t agree, you can stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.

16. General

  • Translations. These Terms may be provided in English and Spanish. If there’s a conflict, the English version controls, except where local law requires otherwise.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
  • Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
  • No waiver. If we don’t enforce a provision, that’s not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms. We may transfer them as part of a merger, sale, or reorganization of our business.
