Terms of Use
Effective date: 8 October 2026
About these Terms:
The Sacred Year is published under the name STUDIO SILVANUM. These Terms explain how you may use the app and its content. The operator and our contact details are listed at the end under “Operator and contact details”.
These Terms describe use of The Sacred Year app and its content. Applicable mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. The app is intended for people aged 13 and older. Younger users must involve a parent or guardian where local law requires permission to enter an agreement or make a purchase.
About the app:
The Sacred Year provides educational and interpretive material about seasonal observances, deities, folklore, lunar cycles and religious traditions, alongside optional reflective practices and a personal diary. Historical evidence, reconstructions and contemporary practices can differ.
Interpretive material should not be treated as established historical fact or professional advice. Participation in suggested practices is optional; choose activities suitable for your circumstances and follow applicable safety requirements.
Using the content:
You may use the app and its content for personal, non-commercial enjoyment and study. Except where applicable law or a relevant licence permits it, you must not commercially reproduce or redistribute protected content, bypass access controls, misuse review codes, or interfere with the app or its services.
Rights in third-party materials remain with their respective rightsholders. Credits & Attributions identifies sources and licences, including for music and other materials; it does not give a separate right to extract or redistribute those materials. Nothing here restricts rights granted by applicable law or a third-party licence, including lawful quotation and other copyright exceptions.
Free features and Premium:
Some features are free. Others require a valid Premium subscription or authorised review access. The purchase screen and purchasing store identify the product, price, billing period and any offer before purchase. Available benefits may depend on the app version and platform.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through the purchasing store under its cancellation rules. Removing the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancellation normally stops future renewal while access continues for the remaining paid period, subject to refunds and applicable store rules. Use Restore Purchases with the store account used for the original purchase when appropriate. Purchases are not promised to transfer between different stores or store accounts.
The purchasing store processes payment and provides subscription-management and refund procedures. You may also contact us for assistance or to exercise rights against us under applicable consumer law. Nothing in these Terms removes mandatory cancellation, refund, conformity or other consumer rights.
Review access:
Review access is provided for authorised evaluation. It may be time-limited, expire or be revoked and is not a paid subscription or a promise of permanent access. Do not publish or share a review code without permission. Changes to review access do not remove rights associated with a valid paid subscription.
Guided Invitations and Sacred Reminders:
Guided Invitations are seasonal and available during their scheduled periods, subject to selected traditions, calendar preferences and any applicable Premium requirement. Premium access does not make every Invitation available throughout the year.
Sacred Reminders depend on permission, device settings, internet access when retrieving schedules, and operating-system delivery. They are a convenience and are not guaranteed to arrive at an exact time. You may disable them in the app or device settings.
Your diary:
Your diary writing remains yours. Entries are stored locally, and the current app does not provide its own diary cloud synchronisation. Removing the app, clearing app data, losing the device or replacing it without a usable backup can result in lost entries.
Use the export feature to make backups when needed and store them securely. Exported files contain readable diary information. Your device or selected storage service may provide separate backup features. Deleting an entry in the app does not remove previously exported copies.
Privacy and feedback:
The Privacy Policy explains information processing in the app and website. It is available in the app and at https://thesacredyear.org/privacy-policy. Using the app or accepting these Terms is not blanket consent to unrelated processing.
Please avoid sending private diary material or unnecessary sensitive information in feedback. Feedback is used to address questions, investigate issues and consider suggestions. Sending feedback does not transfer ownership of your diary or other original writing to us.
Availability and changes:
Online content requires a working connection and available services. We may correct material, maintain services and release updates. Some updates may be needed to keep functions working securely. We will handle material changes to paid services and these Terms with appropriate notice and in accordance with applicable law. These Terms do not authorise removal of paid benefits without respecting consumer obligations.
External links may lead to independently operated websites and services. Their terms and practices apply to your use of those services.
Responsibility and complaints:
We aim to provide a reliable app and accurate descriptions of its features. These Terms do not exclude or limit responsibility where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law. Please contact us about problems so we can investigate and provide any remedy required by law.
Written complaints may be sent to thesacredyear.calendar@gmail.com or the operator's postal address. We will handle them within the deadlines required by applicable law. Croatian law applies without depriving consumers of mandatory protections available under the law of their country of habitual residence where applicable. Nothing here requires you to give up a legally available court or complaint route.
