Terms of Service

1.Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. The Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to register. By using the Services you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

2.What AKASHA Is

AKASHA is an educational and historical research archive. It collects, organizes, and analyzes the teachings of ancient wisdom traditions, mystery schools, and sacred-science literature, and places those teachings alongside modern scholarship and research.

The archive presents material at three distinct levels, which we label plainly throughout the research files: what a tradition itself teaches; what practitioners and frontier researchers report or propose; and what established science has and has not demonstrated. We do this so you can tell the difference. Material presented at one level should not be read as a claim made at another.

AKASHA is a research archive, not a religion, a therapy, a medical practice, or a licensed professional service. Your use of the Services creates no practitioner-and-client, doctor-and-patient, clergy-and-congregant, or fiduciary relationship of any kind. Please also read our Educational & Wellness Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these Terms.

3.Your Account & Signing In

You create an account by entering your email address on the Join page. We email you a one-time sign-in link; following it signs you in, and the first time you do so it creates your account. Each link works once and expires after one hour. Accounts created before this sign-in method existed may also have a password, which continues to work.

Because the link is sent to your inbox, the security of your account depends on the security of your email. You are responsible for activity under your account. Do not forward sign-in links to anyone, and notify us at support@akashacodex.com promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.

Accounts are personal. Your account belongs to one person. You may not sell or transfer it, or use it to give automated systems access to the archive. Since an account is free, anyone who wants one can simply create their own.

You may close your account at any time by emailing support@akashacodex.com from the address on the account. We may suspend or close accounts that breach these Terms.

4.Free Access & Paid Offerings

Since November 8, 2026, the AKASHA Research Archive and its tools are free with an account. Creating or using an account costs nothing, and we do not ask for or collect a payment method to do either.

• ✦No subscription, no renewal. There is no paid subscription to the archive, and nothing renews or charges automatically.
• ✦What is free may change. We may add, change, or remove features or research files as the archive develops, including withdrawing a file while it is corrected.
• ✦Future paid products. If we later offer a paid product, its price and any terms specific to it will be shown to you before you buy, and nothing will be charged without your explicit purchase. Payments, if any, are processed by Stripe; we never receive or store your card number. Our Refund Policy would govern any such purchase and is incorporated into these Terms.

5.Former Paid Subscriptions

Before November 8, 2026, the archive was offered as a paid monthly or annual subscription. That offering has ended. No subscription remains active, and no further subscription charges will be made.

If you held a paid subscription, your account remains open on these free terms and your Grimoire entries, notes, and bookmarks are kept. Any question about a charge made under the former subscription is handled under our Refund Policy. Write to support@akashacodex.com and we will look into it.

6.Your License to the Archive

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and read the archive for your own study and personal research.

You may not:

• ✦Copy, republish, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or publicly post the research files, in whole or in substantial part.
• ✦Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or use automated tools to extract the archive’s contents.
• ✦Use the archive, in whole or in part, to train, fine-tune, or ground any machine learning or artificial intelligence system.
• ✦Create a derivative product, course, or competing archive from our materials.
• ✦Circumvent any access control or rate limit.

Reasonable personal use — quoting a passage with attribution, printing a file for your own study, or discussing what you have read — is welcome and expected. What is prohibited is redistribution and commercial exploitation. The archive being free does not place our research files in the public domain.

7.Intellectual Property

The research files, synthesis documents, curriculum framework, interactive tools, software, design, and brand marks of AKASHA are our property or are used under license, and are protected by copyright and other laws.

The archive discusses ancient texts and traditions that are themselves in the public domain or belong to living cultures. Our copyright covers our own selection, arrangement, translation choices, analysis, and commentary — not the underlying ancient sources. Published translations by others that we quote remain the property of their translators and publishers.

Your content stays yours. Entries you write in your Grimoire, your annotations, and your bookmarks belong to you. We claim no ownership of them. We store and process them solely to provide the Services to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

If you believe material on the Services infringes your copyright, email support@akashacodex.com with a description of the work, the location of the material, your contact information, and a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized. We investigate all notices and remove infringing material.

8.Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Services to:

• ✦Violate any law, or infringe anyone’s rights.
• ✦Harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate any person, including our teachers and other members.
• ✦Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, server, or system, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our infrastructure.
• ✦Upload malware, interfere with the operation or security of the Services, or create accounts in bulk or by automated means.
• ✦Misrepresent yourself as a representative, reviewer, or contributor of AKASHA without our authorization.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms.

9.Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the archive is complete or free from error.

No outcome is promised. The archive documents what traditions teach and what researchers report. It does not promise any spiritual, psychological, physical, financial, or personal result, and no such result should be inferred.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability. Where that is the case, the exclusions and limitations above apply to you only to the extent permitted, and nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, where such limitation is prohibited by law.

10.Disputes, Arbitration & Governing Law

Talk to us first. If something goes wrong, email support@akashacodex.com. Most problems are resolved quickly and without cost to anyone. We ask that you give us 30 days to resolve a dispute informally before beginning a formal proceeding.

If we cannot resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. You and we each waive the right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights. Nothing here prevents you from reporting a concern to a government agency.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where arbitration does not apply, the state and federal courts located in Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to venue there.

11.Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Services evolve. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. If a change is material — for example, introducing a charge for something that is free today, or a change to licensing or the arbitration section — we will notify account holders by email at least 30 days before it takes effect.

Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Services and ask us to close your account.

12.General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Educational & Wellness Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement; we may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Questions about these Terms may be sent to support@akashacodex.com. A mailing address is available on written request to that address.
