Terms of Use

DODECAVE™ · VERSION 3.1 · EFFECTIVE 2026-07-24

These Terms govern your use of Dodecave. The free experience needs no account and asks nothing of you. The membership and billing sections apply only if you take out a paid membership.

Entity. Dodecave™ is a trade name of A.G. LYON LLC, a US limited liability company. "We," "us," and "our" refer to A.G. LYON LLC; "you" refers to the user.
The Service. Dodecave is a Progressive Web App for contemplative practice — frequency-based meditation, optional vision features, and audio playback tools.
License. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Dodecave service for lawful personal contemplative practice. This license ends if you breach these Terms.
Not medical advice. Dodecave is a meditation tool — it does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition and is not a substitute for professional care. References to the "field," frequencies, and dimensions describe a contemplative framework and generated sound, not any physiological, therapeutic, or health effect, and have not been evaluated by the FDA.
The Shield. The Shield is a contemplative practice made of sound, a movement of gathering and holding attention. It is a name for that practice, not a claim of protection of any kind.
Microphone. Microphone audio is processed on your device only — it is never recorded, stored, or sent to us.
Camera. Camera imagery is processed on your device only — no imagery is transmitted.
Rest player for children. The Rest player includes audio intended for use by an adult playing it for a child during sleep; the adult is responsible for placement, volume, and supervision — see Privacy Policy §2.6.
Session data. Session data (mood, field history, preferences) is stored locally on your device — we cannot see or access it.
Volume & breaks. Keep playback volume comfortable and below 85 dB SPL sustained. Take a 10-minute break every 60 minutes.
Photosensitivity & safety. Do not use while driving, operating machinery, or in any setting where impaired awareness could cause harm. Do not use under the influence of psychedelics, dissociatives, alcohol, or other consciousness-altering substances.
Medical conditions. If you are pregnant, have an implanted electronic medical device, a seizure disorder, recent concussion, or active psychiatric crisis, consult a clinician before use.
Prohibited use. You may not (a) attempt to disrupt, attack, reverse-engineer, or probe the Service for vulnerabilities outside our published disclosure policy; (b) use the Service for any unlawful purpose; (c) automate, scrape, or impose unreasonable load on the Service; (d) impersonate others; or (e) interfere with the Service for other users.
AS IS" / "AS AVAILABLE. E." Dodecave is provided AS IS, AS AVAILABLE, with all faults and no warranties (express or implied), including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Service availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, without liability to you. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access.
Limitation of liability. Total aggregate liability of A.G. LYON LLC and its affiliates to you, for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service, is capped at the total amount you have paid to A.G. LYON LLC for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim. If you have not paid us any amount for the Service, our aggregate liability is zero. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages. This exclusion does not apply to liability for death or personal injury, or for fraud, to the extent such liability cannot be excluded under applicable law. This cap does not apply to our obligation, if any, to defend you against a third-party claim that Dodecave itself infringes that party's intellectual-property rights.
Exceptions to limitation. The cap in the preceding clause does not apply to (a) our indemnification obligations to you, (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct, (c) breach of confidentiality obligations, (d) liability for death or personal injury, or for fraud, or (e) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, statutory consumer rights under EEA/UK law).
Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless A.G. LYON LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from third-party claims arising from (a) content or input you provide to the Service, (b) your violation of the Prohibited Use clause, or (c) third-party intellectual-property claims based on content you submitted. We will control defense of any such claim, and you will reasonably cooperate. We will not settle any claim affecting your rights without your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
Age. You must be 18 or older, or have verifiable parental consent, to use this Service. Not directed to children under 13. Rest tracks intended for use by an adult playing them for a child are addressed in our Privacy Policy §2.6.
Termination. You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app and invoking "Delete my data" in Settings. For non-emergency breaches by you, we will provide email notice (where we have your email) and a 14-day opportunity to cure before suspending or terminating access. We may suspend or terminate immediately, without prior notice, where continued access risks user safety, service integrity, or third-party harm. If we end your membership for our own convenience, or stop offering the Service, we refund the unused part of the period you have paid for.

Membership and billing

Membership. Dodecave is free to use. We also offer an optional paid membership. Membership is a subscription: it renews automatically and charges recur until you cancel. You do not need a membership to use Dodecave, and you never will.
What membership includes. Membership opens an expanding library of new words, deeper journeys, and new ways to listen. New member capabilities are included automatically while your membership is active. The plans differ by who may use the membership and what rights it carries — not by feature tier: there are no Silver/Gold levels and no separate capability add-ons.
Your membership on your devices. Your membership belongs to you, not to a single device. Your practice — your history, your settings, and the journeys you have taken — is stored on the device where you made it, and is not uploaded to us.
What stays free, and what ends when membership ends. The free word library on your device stays free and stays yours. It is not affected by whether you have a membership, and it does not shrink if you cancel. Member words are different: they are served to your device while your membership is active. Access to member words ends when your membership ends. Because the app is built to work offline, a device may keep playing member words it has already loaded for up to two days after that, until it next checks in. Nothing you paid for is deleted from your device, because member words are never stored on it.
Price, and price changes. The price and the billing period are shown before you enter any payment details. We do not raise the price of an existing membership. If we change our prices, the change applies to memberships started after the change, and your membership continues at the price you signed up at for as long as it stays active. If that ever ceases to be true, we will tell you at least 7 days and no more than 30 days before the new amount is charged, in a message you can keep, and we will tell you how to cancel.
Billing and automatic renewal. By subscribing you authorise us, through our payment processor, to charge your payment method the amount shown, at the interval shown, at the start of each period, until you cancel. We show you the price, the interval, what renews, and how to cancel before you give us any payment details, and we ask you to agree to the renewal separately from agreeing to these Terms.
Cancelling. You can cancel online at any time, in the same place you subscribed, without talking to anyone and without any step designed to slow you down. Cancelling stops the next charge. Your membership stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and then it ends.
Renewal reminders. If your membership renews annually, we will send you a reminder each year, through the same channel you used to subscribe, telling you what renews, how much and how often you are charged, and how to cancel.
Refunds. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for, and we do not refund that period. Within 30 days of your first payment you may ask us for a full refund of that payment, for any reason, by writing to [email protected]. Beyond that, we do not offer refunds except where the law requires one, or where we have terminated your membership for our own convenience or stopped offering the Service, in which case we refund the unused part of the period.
Payment details and your card. Payments are handled by our payment processor, Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us. We never see or store your card number. We keep only what we need to know whether your membership is active.
Disputed charges. If you think a charge is wrong, please write to [email protected] first. We will look at it and we will refund an error. If you raise a chargeback with your bank instead, we may suspend the membership while the bank decides, because we cannot serve member words and contest a charge for them at the same time.
Records of your agreement. When you subscribe, our payment processor records that you agreed and when. We keep that record for at least three years, or one year after your membership ends, whichever is longer.
Echo (household plan). Echo lets one paying member (the plan manager) and up to five invited members — six in total — each receive the full member entitlement while the plan is active. Echo is for personal, non-commercial use. Members join by accepting a single-use invite code that expires seven days after it is issued; codes are non-transferable, and no more than six memberships may be active at once. The plan manager may remove a member at any time, a member may leave at any time, and a vacated seat may be re-invited. When a member leaves or is removed, or the plan is cancelled or lapses, that member's account reverts to the free tier. Echo is intended for a single household; we do not verify addresses, and the plan manager is responsible for how the seats are used.
Who may hold an Echo seat. Each member must hold their own Dodecave account. Echo is recommended for adults (18 and over). By inviting a member, the plan manager confirms that each invited person meets the minimum age and accepts responsibility for them and for their use of the membership. No seat may be occupied by a person under 13. A member aged 13 to 17 must have the plan manager's permission and remains the plan manager's responsibility. Dodecave is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly enrol them; if we learn that a seat is held by someone under 13, we will remove it and delete that account's personal information. We collect no geolocation from, and direct no targeted advertising to, any member we know to be a minor.
Practitioner and Teams. A Practitioner License grants the right to use Dodecave in work you are paid for — your sessions, your classes, your space — as one license for your practice. Teams provides personal member access for the people on a team, priced per seat and without commercial rights; a Teams administrator can see seat assignments and membership status, and may reassign seats, but cannot see any member's words, seeking, journeys, or practice history. Practitioner and Teams cover different things and may be held together.

Governing law, disputes, and general terms

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where preempted by federal law. Statutory consumer rights under EEA/UK law are preserved for users resident there. For any claim not subject to arbitration (small-claims, intellectual-property, or injunctive-relief matters), the exclusive venue is the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Texas consumer rights. Nothing in these Terms waives any non-waivable right you have under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act or other applicable consumer-protection law, and no provision is intended as a waiver under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.42.
Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration, you agree to send written notice of dispute to [email protected] describing the claim and the relief sought, and to attempt informal resolution for 60 days from our receipt of that notice. If we cannot resolve the matter informally within that period, either party may proceed under the Dispute resolution clause below.
Dispute resolution & arbitration. Except for (a) small-claims court matters, (b) claims to enforce or protect intellectual property rights, or (c) requests for injunctive relief, any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, with seat in the State of Texas. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out preserves all other rights under these Terms.
Intellectual property. All content, code, and frequency data, including the ARPS framework and the fire-letter system, are the intellectual property of A.G. LYON LLC and may not be redistributed, reverse-engineered, or copied except as expressly permitted in writing.
Security disclosure. Security researchers may report vulnerabilities to [email protected] under our coordinated-disclosure terms. We do not pursue civil or criminal action against researchers who follow these terms; we ask that you give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and remediate before public disclosure.
No sale of sensitive personal data. We do not sell personal data, and we do not sell sensitive personal data (including mental- or physical-health information, precise geolocation, or any data of children under 13) under any circumstances, regardless of any small-business exemption under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act or analogous state laws.
Data subject requests. We respond to data subject requests (export, deletion, correction) within 30 days — write to [email protected].
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision at one time is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to a successor entity (e.g., in a sale of the project) by posting notice in the app.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service, and supersede any prior agreements or representations.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remain in full force.
Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide advance notice in the app and require you to affirmatively accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Service. Continuing to use the Service after non-material updates constitutes acceptance. Material changes include, without limitation, changes to dispute resolution, governing law, liability, or data practices. The introduction of accounts, payment, or membership is a material change.
