The Spore Oracle
The Boundaries of the Grove

Terms of Use

These terms set the simple agreements between you and The Spore Patch while you explore the site, draw cards and walk the Spiral.

1. Who we are

The Spore Oracle is operated by The Spore Patch, based in England. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of thesporeoracle.world, including the oracle readings, journal shop, membership area and any other services we offer.

2. What the Oracle offers

The Spore Oracle provides an imaginative oracle experience: mythology, card readings, a digital journal, and a members-only spread chamber. The content is for personal reflection, creative inspiration and spiritual exploration. It is not intended to replace medical, legal, financial, psychological or religious advice.

3. Your account

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe and for any activity that happens under your account. Please use a strong password and do not share your account with others.

You must provide accurate information and be at least 16 years old to create an account or subscribe to the Spiral Circle.

4. The Spiral Circle membership

The Spiral Circle is a recurring subscription that unlocks the three-card and five-card spread chambers, saved readings and reading history. It is billed at £3 per month through Stripe.

  • Subscriptions renew automatically each month unless you cancel.
  • You can cancel at any time through the billing portal linked in your account or by contacting us.
  • Payments are handled securely by Stripe. We do not store your card details.
  • We do not offer refunds for partial months, but you will retain access until the end of your current billing period.
  • We may change the membership price or features, but we will give you at least 30 days' notice before any price increase takes effect.

5. Journal and product purchases

The Spore Oracle Journal is sold as a digital PDF through Payhip. Because it is a digital download, all sales are final. If you experience a technical issue with delivery, contact us and we will help resolve it.

Physical products such as the deck, prints and bookmarks are marked as “Coming soon” until they are available for purchase. Any pre-orders or back-in-stock announcements will be handled under their own specific terms at the time of sale.

6. The forest belongs to its makers

All content on this site — including the card illustrations, moon glyphs, mythology, manuscript text, design, branding, code and writing — is owned by or licensed to The Spore Patch. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, modify or create derivative works from any of this content without our written permission.

You are welcome to share links to the site and to quote short passages for personal, non-commercial purposes, provided you credit The Spore Oracle and link back to the source.

7. Your saved readings and notes

The reflections, notes and spreads you save in the members' area remain yours. By saving them, you give us a limited licence to store, display and back them up so you can revisit them across the seasons. We will not publish or share your private readings without your consent.

You may delete your saved readings at any time. Deleting your account will remove the readings associated with it, subject to any legal record-keeping requirements.

8. Conduct in the grove

You agree not to use the site to:

  • Harm, harass, threaten or impersonate another person.
  • Upload viruses, malware or any other harmful code.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, other users' accounts or our backend systems.
  • Scrape, mine or automatedly collect data from the site without permission.
  • Resell, share or otherwise exploit access to the members' area or digital products.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these rules or if necessary to protect the site or other users.

9. Disclaimer

We work to keep the site accurate, secure and available, but we do not guarantee that it will always be error-free, uninterrupted or completely secure. The oracle, readings and journal are offered as creative and reflective tools. We do not make any promise about specific outcomes, and any decisions you make based on readings are entirely your own.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, The Spore Patch shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, including any reliance on readings or journal content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or £100 if you did not make any payment.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, though we will always try to resolve any issue informally first.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will notify you by email or through the site. Continued use of the site after the changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

13. Contact
