11. Right of Withdrawal (EU)
11.1 Your Right
If you are a consumer in the European Union, European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you have the right to withdraw from your Subscription purchase within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of purchase, without giving any reason, in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU.
11.2 How to Exercise
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision by a clear, unambiguous statement sent to:
Email: legal@vibrae.ai
Subject line: "Withdrawal Request"
You may use the model withdrawal form provided in Appendix A, but this is not mandatory.
11.3 Digital Content Exception
Important: If you consented to the immediate provision of digital content (by beginning to use premium features of the Service) and acknowledged that you would thereby lose your right of withdrawal, you may not withdraw from the contract after the digital content has been accessed.
This consent is obtained at the time of purchase. If the Service has not yet been accessed or used, your right of withdrawal remains intact.
11.4 Pro-Rata Charges
If you exercise your right of withdrawal after having used the Service during the withdrawal period, you may be charged a proportionate amount for the services received up to the point of withdrawal.
11.5 Refund
If you validly exercise your right of withdrawal, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including any delivery costs, without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw. The refund will be processed through the original payment method.
11.6 Cancel My Contract
We are committed to making cancellation as easy as subscription. In compliance with upcoming EU requirements (effective by June 2026), we will provide a prominently placed "Cancel My Contract" mechanism that is accessible with no more effort than the subscription process.
12. Cancellation & Refunds
12.1 Cancellation
You may cancel your Subscription at any time through your Platform's subscription settings (see Section 9.5 for instructions). Cancellation is effective at the end of the current billing period.
12.2 No Mid-Period Refunds
Except where required by applicable law, cancelled Subscriptions are not eligible for refunds for the remaining portion of the current billing period. You will continue to have access to premium features until the end of the paid period.
12.3 Platform Refund Processes
All Subscription purchases are processed exclusively by the applicable Platform (Apple Inc. or Google LLC). LuminaByte GmbH does not directly collect, process, or store your payment information and therefore does not have the technical ability to issue refunds for Platform purchases.
To request a refund:
- •Apple (iOS): Visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support.
- •Google Play (Android): Visit the Google Play Help Center > Request a refund.
LuminaByte GmbH will cooperate with the Platform to facilitate refund requests where required by applicable law.
For EU/EEA/UK consumers: Your statutory rights under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Section 11) and the EU Digital Content Directive (Section 12.4) are independent of Platform refund policies and may be exercised directly against LuminaByte GmbH.
12.4 EU Digital Content Directive
If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA, you have a two (2) year conformity right for digital content under the EU Digital Content Directive (2019/770). If the digital content does not conform to the contract (e.g., material defects or failures), you are entitled to a free remedy (update, replacement, or, where appropriate, a price reduction or full refund).
12.5 Lifetime Plan Refunds
Refunds for Lifetime Subscriptions are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact us at help@vibrae.ai with a description of the issue.

21. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
21.1 Informal Resolution (All Users)
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@vibrae.ai with the subject line "Dispute Resolution." We will attempt to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days from receipt of your written notice.
21.2 Arbitration (Non-EU Users)
For users outside the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland:
If the dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days, it shall be finally resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) or, at the claimant's election, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted:
- •By a single arbitrator.
- •In English.
- •Via telephone, video conference, or written submissions (at the claimant's choice), unless in-person proceedings are required by the arbitrator.
- •In accordance with applicable law (see Section 23).
Opt-Out Right: You have the right to opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to legal@vibrae.ai within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts specified in Section 23.
Small Claims Exception: Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within its jurisdiction.
21.3 EU/EEA/UK/Swiss Users
For users in the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland, arbitration is NOT binding. You retain the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your habitual residence in accordance with the Brussels I Recast Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012.
EU Online Dispute Resolution (ODR): The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. You may use this platform to attempt to resolve disputes arising from online contracts.
Mediation: We encourage mediation as a cost-effective and efficient means of resolving disputes. We are willing to participate in mediation proceedings before a recognized consumer mediation body.
21.4 Time Limitation on Claims
For users outside the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland: Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be filed within one (1) year after the date on which such claim or cause of action arose, or it shall be forever barred.
For EU/EEA/UK/Swiss consumers: This contractual limitation period does not apply. You retain the benefit of mandatory statutory limitation periods under the laws of your habitual residence (for Germany: 3 years from the end of the year in which the claim arose, per BGB Sections 195, 199).
Exceptions. This time limitation does not apply to:
- Claims for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
- Claims for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
- Any claims where a shorter limitation period would violate mandatory applicable law.
21.5 Additional Procedures for Mass Filings
For users subject to the arbitration provision in Section 21.2:
If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are filed against LuminaByte GmbH by the same or coordinated counsel within a sixty (60) day period ("Mass Filing"), the following additional procedures apply:
- Initial batch. Up to twenty-five (25) claims selected by the parties (or, failing agreement, selected randomly by the arbitration administrator) shall proceed individually in arbitration.
- Tolling. All remaining claims in the Mass Filing are tolled (paused) pending resolution of the initial batch. The statute of limitations for all tolled claims is suspended during this period.
- Mediation. After the initial batch is resolved, the parties shall participate in a good-faith global mediation with a retired federal or state court judge, with each side bearing half the mediation costs.
- Bellwether process. If mediation does not resolve the remaining claims, additional batches of up to twenty-five (25) claims each shall proceed in arbitration until all claims are resolved.
- Court backstop. If the process described above fails to make reasonable progress toward resolution, either party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for relief.
This provision is intended to provide a fair and efficient process for resolving mass claims while preserving individual claimants' rights. Nothing in this section prevents you from pursuing an individual claim in small claims court.
22. Class Action Waiver
22.1 Non-EU Users
For users outside the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland:
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND LUMINABYTE GMBH AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
You waive any right to a jury trial.
22.2 EU Users
For users in the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland: The class action waiver in Section 22.1 does not apply to you. Your rights under the EU Representative Actions Directive (2020/1828) and national implementing legislation are fully preserved.

If any part of this Section 22 is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this section shall remain in effect. If the entirety of this section is found unenforceable, disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Section 23.

28.5.2 Digital Content Warranty (BGB Sections 327-327u)
In accordance with the German transposition of the EU Digital Content Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/770) into BGB Sections 327 through 327u (effective January 1, 2022), the following consumer warranty provisions apply to the Service:
- Conformity period. The Service must conform to the contract for a period of two (2) years from the date of initial supply (for one-time supply) or for the duration of the contract (for continuous supply such as Subscriptions).
- Burden-of-proof reversal. During the first twelve (12) months of the conformity period, any lack of conformity that becomes apparent is presumed to have existed at the time of supply, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the digital content or the nature of the lack of conformity (BGB Section 327k).
- Update obligation. LuminaByte GmbH is obligated to provide updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the Service, including security updates, for the duration of the conformity period (BGB Section 327f). See Section 5.4 for details on software updates.

- •Supplementary performance (Nacherfüllung): We will bring the Service into conformity within a reasonable period, free of charge, and without significant inconvenience to you.
- •Price reduction (Minderung): If supplementary performance fails or is refused, you may request a proportionate reduction of the price.
- •Contract termination (Vertragsbeendigung): If the lack of conformity is not minor, you may terminate the contract.
