LuminNote:

- You are solely and entirely responsible for ensuring that your use of AI-assisted writing features complies with your institution's academic integrity, plagiarism, and AI usage policies
- LuminNote expressly disclaims all liability for any academic misconduct findings, plagiarism allegations, or disciplinary action arising from the use or misuse of Essay Mode or any other AI-assisted features
- LuminNote does not encourage, endorse, or condone submitting AI-generated or AI-assisted content as wholly original work where prohibited by institutional policy
By using Essay Mode, you acknowledge and accept these responsibilities.
7. Subscriptions & Payments
- LuminNote offers multiple subscription tiers (Free, Pro, and Essay Mode), each with different feature access and monthly usage limits
- Paid plans are billed via Stripe
- Prices are shown clearly before purchase
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled
- Essay Mode features are subject to monthly usage limits as displayed in the Service
- Your right to cancel and get a refund is set out below. Outside it, refunds are handled case by case, and always given where the law requires one
Stopping a subscription
You can cancel at any time. In the web app, go to Settings, then Subscription, then Manage billing. Your plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for and does not renew. If you subscribed in the iPhone or iPad app, cancel from your App Store subscriptions.
Your 14-day right to cancel
If you are a consumer in the UK, the law gives you 14 days from the day you subscribe to change your mind and cancel, without giving a reason.
LuminNote is digital content supplied online, and it starts working the moment you pay. So before you pay, the checkout asks you to tick a box saying that you want access to start straight away, and that you understand you then lose the 14-day right to change your mind and get a refund. Once you have ticked it and your access has started, that right has ended for that purchase. We ask for the same agreement before you change plan or add an add-on.
If the loss of that right does not apply to your purchase, for example because of the law where you live, you can cancel within the 14 days. We will then refund what you paid, less an amount in proportion to the days you had access compared with the full period you paid for.
How to cancel within the 14 days
Tell us clearly that you want to cancel before the 14 days are up. The simplest way is to email support@luminnote.com from the address on your account. You can use the form below, but you do not have to.
To AFZ Labs Ltd (LuminNote), support@luminnote.com:

Ordered on: [date]
Name: [your name]
Email address on the account: [your email]
Date: [today's date]
Where a refund is due, we pay it within 14 days of the day you tell us, to the card you paid with, and it costs you nothing.

Nothing above affects your legal rights if LuminNote is faulty or not as described. Email support@luminnote.com and we will put it right or, where the law gives you one, give you a refund or a price reduction.
