Terms of Service
Last updated: June 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Lumi Invites ("Lumi," "Service," "we," "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using Lumi on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
2. The Service
Lumi provides a web-based platform that allows users to create, customize, and share digital event invitations. The Service includes:
- An invitation builder with customizable themes, modules, and design options
- Hosting of your published invitation at a unique URL
- Integration with WhatsApp for guest sharing and RSVP
- A countdown timer, Google Maps link generation, and Add-to-Calendar functionality
- A user dashboard for managing and editing invitations
3. Accounts and Registration
You may build an invitation without creating an account. An account is required to publish, save, and edit an invitation. You may create an account using Google OAuth, Apple OAuth, or email with a one-time code.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@lumi-invites.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use the Service.
4. Payments and Pricing
4.1 One-Time Fee
Publishing an invitation requires a one-time payment. As of the date of these Terms, the pricing is:
- Standard: $12.00 USD (or equivalent in your local currency), includes a Lumi watermark on the invitation.
- Premium: $29.00 USD (or equivalent in your local currency), removes the Lumi watermark and includes additional themes.
Prices are displayed in your local currency at checkout, powered by Stripe's Dynamic Currency Conversion. There are no recurring charges, subscriptions, or hidden fees. You pay once per invitation.
4.2 What You Get
Upon successful payment:
- Your invitation is published at a unique URL that remains live indefinitely (subject to Section 10).
- You may edit the content of your invitation at any time at no additional charge.
- The URL (slug) of your invitation is permanent and will not change when you edit the content.
4.3 Payment Processing
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. We accept major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and select local payment methods including PIX (Brazil), OXXO (Mexico), iDEAL (Netherlands), and others depending on your region.
4.4 Taxes
Prices may be subject to applicable taxes (such as VAT, GST, or local sales tax) depending on your jurisdiction. Where required, Stripe calculates and collects applicable taxes at checkout.
5. Refund Policy
Please also read our Refund Policy for full details. In summary:
- We offer a refund if there is a verified technical failure on our part that prevents your invitation from functioning, and we cannot resolve the issue within 48 hours of your report.
- We do not offer refunds for change-of-mind, typos you made when building the invite (you can edit these for free), or after the invitation link has been shared and accessed by guests.
- Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of purchase to support@lumi-invites.com.

The Service, including its design, code, themes, templates, logos, trademarks, and all other materials provided by Lumi (excluding Your Content), are owned by or licensed to Lumi and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The "Lumi" name and the ✦ logo are trademarks of Lumi Invites.
Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, trade names, logos, or domain names without our prior written consent.
9. The Lumi Watermark
Standard tier invitations ($12) display a "✦ lumi · Create your own smart invite" watermark at the bottom of the published invitation page. This watermark:
- Is part of the Standard product and cannot be removed without upgrading to the Premium tier ($29).
- Links back to the Lumi website.
- May not be obscured, hidden, or modified using CSS, JavaScript, browser extensions, or any other means on the Standard tier.
Attempting to remove the watermark without paying for the Premium tier is a breach of these Terms and may result in account suspension.
10. Suspension and Termination
10.1 By You
You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard or by emailing support@lumi-invites.com. Deleting your account will unpublish your invitations and remove your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Payments are non-refundable upon account deletion unless a refund is otherwise due under Section 5.
10.2 By Us
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and remove any of Your Content, without notice, if we reasonably believe that:
- You have materially breached these Terms.
- Your use of the Service creates legal or reputational risk for Lumi.
- Your account is being used fraudulently or for illegal purposes.
- Continuing to provide the Service to you would violate applicable law.
Where possible and not prohibited by law, we will provide notice before termination and an opportunity to cure the breach.
10.3 Service Discontinuation
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide at least 30 days' notice and a mechanism for you to export your invitation data. We will not provide a refund for discontinuation unless required by applicable law.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
The Service integrates with or links to third-party services including Google Maps, WhatsApp, Stripe, Supabase, and others. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of third-party services.
The RSVP feature opens WhatsApp with a pre-filled message. By providing a WhatsApp number in your invitation, you consent to guests using that number via WhatsApp. We do not control or have access to WhatsApp messages.
The cash fund / gift registry feature links to external payment services you configure (PIX, Venmo, PayPal, UPI, etc.). All transactions through those services are between you and your guests. Lumi does not process, handle, or take any portion of those funds.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LUMI'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO LUMI IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50 USD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for certain types of damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
14. Indemnification
