Nyxwyn Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 October 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and J. Patrick Hanley, EI (entrepreneur individuel), a sole trader based in France (La Grande Blottière, 53200 Fromentières, France; registration in progress, SIRET number to appear here once issued), who makes Nyxwyn ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Nyxwyn, you agree to them. Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains what happens to your data.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the law of the country where you live.

1. What Nyxwyn is

Nyxwyn is a private dream journal. You can write or dictate your dreams, keep an Analytical Journal of your own reflections, see your journal on a calendar, and set daily reminders. With a premium subscription, and only if you switch it on, Nyxwyn identifies the themes in your dreams and shows how they recur in reports and a wind rose.

2. Not medical or therapeutic advice

Nyxwyn is a journal and a way to notice patterns in your own writing. It is not a medical, psychological or therapeutic service, and nothing in it is health advice or a diagnosis.

• The themes the app identifies are labels for what appears in your writing. They do not say what a dream means, and they say nothing about your health.
• Theme identification is done by an AI system and can be wrong, incomplete or oddly worded.
• Do not use Nyxwyn in place of a doctor, psychologist or other qualified professional. If dreams, sleep or anything else worry you, please talk to one.
• Many people find it helpful to bring their journal, their Analytical Journal or their reports to conversations with a therapist or someone they trust. Nyxwyn is designed to support that, as a record you can share if you choose, not as a substitute for it.
• If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact emergency services (112 in the EU) or a local crisis line straight away. Nyxwyn cannot respond to anything you write in it.

3. Your account

• You must be 18 or older to use Nyxwyn.
• Give a real email address you can access, and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
• One person per account. Accounts cannot be transferred.
• Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has used your account.

4. Your content stays yours

Everything you write in Nyxwyn (dreams, Analytical Journal entries) belongs to you. You give us only the permission we need to run the service for you: to store it, show it to you, back it up, and, if you switch on theme identification, send it to our AI provider to identify themes, as described in the Privacy Policy. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account. We do not publish your content, sell it, or use it to train AI models.

You are responsible for what you write. Please do not put other people's private information in your journal unless you have a good reason to.

5. Free features and premium

Free: writing and dictating dreams, the journal and calendar with your streak, daily reminders, colour themes, the Analytical Journal, and account deletion.

Premium: theme identification, reports for each period (week, month, season, quarter, year), the wind rose, and the premium colour themes. Theme identification is optional even with premium: it only runs if you switch it on. Switching it off is your choice and does not change your subscription: it does not cancel it, pause it, or entitle you to a refund, and it does not delete any themes or reports already created. When you switch it back on, it applies to dreams you seal from then on; dreams sealed while it was off are not processed automatically. The app will offer, once, to catch up on them. The catch-up only runs if you accept, never includes dreams you have marked private, and costs nothing extra: it runs within your monthly fair-use limit, after your new dreams, using no more than half of each month's limit plus any part of the limit still unused near the end of the month. With many earlier dreams it can take several weeks. You can stop it at any time in Settings. Reports already created are not rebuilt.

We may add, change or remove features over time. If we remove a premium feature you have paid for in a way that significantly reduces what you get, we will tell you in advance and you can cancel; where the law requires it, we will offer a proportionate refund through the store you paid with.

Fair use. Theme identification costs us money every time it runs. To keep the price fair for everyone, each account has a monthly usage limit, set generously enough for daily journaling and shown in Settings. If you reach it, dreams are still saved and sealed normally, and their themes are identified when the limit resets the next month. We may raise the limit at any time. We will only lower it from your next renewal, and we will tell you in the app and by email at least 30 days before it applies, so you can cancel before renewing if you prefer.

6. Subscription, free trial and payment

• Premium is a monthly or annual subscription, at the price shown in the app before you buy. In France the price is currently €39.99 a year or €5.99 a month; in other countries the stores set an equivalent price in your local currency. We may sometimes offer an introductory or promotional price; if we do, its amount and how long it lasts are shown before you buy, and the subscription then renews at the regular price. Prices include any VAT the store charges.
• Free trial: new subscribers get a 14-day free trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and the first period (month or year) is charged. One trial per person.
• You buy the subscription from Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), and they take the payment. Their terms of sale apply to the purchase. We never see your card details.
• The subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Your price is locked: for as long as you stay subscribed without a break, you keep the price you signed up at, and any price rise applies only to new subscribers. The only changes we do not control are adjustments the stores make themselves for tax rates or local currency. If you switch plan or subscribe again after a break, the price at that time applies.
• To cancel, use your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep premium until the end of the period you have paid for.
• Deleting your Nyxwyn account does not cancel your subscription. Please cancel it in the store as well.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies, and by any rights you have under consumer law. We cannot issue refunds for store purchases ourselves, but write to [email protected] and we will help where we can.
• Right of withdrawal (EU consumers): your subscription starts with the 14-day free trial, which is also your 14-day withdrawal period: you can cancel during it at no cost, through your App Store or Google Play settings. Apple and Google also offer their own cancellation and refund processes. And if you ask for a refund within 14 days of your first payment, we will not oppose it; write to [email protected] and we will help you through the store's refund process.
• When a subscription ends, your journal, Analytical Journal, and the themes and reports already made stay in your account. Premium screens lock and no new themes are identified until you subscribe again.

7. Using Nyxwyn properly

Please do not:

• try to get into anyone else's account or data, or into our systems;
• reverse-engineer, copy or resell the app, except where the law allows it;
• overload or disrupt the service, or use automated tools to access it;
• use Nyxwyn for anything illegal;
• try to make the AI features do something other than identify themes in your own dreams.

If you break these rules seriously or repeatedly, we may suspend or close your account. Unless the breach is serious or the law prevents it, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put it right.

8. Our licence to you

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Nyxwyn app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these terms and the rules of the store you downloaded it from. The app, its design, its name and logo, and its theme-identification method belong to us. If you downloaded Nyxwyn from the App Store, the licence also follows section 13 below.

9. Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep Nyxwyn running and your data safe, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may need to pause the service for maintenance or updates. Some features need an internet connection. We recommend keeping the app up to date.

If we ever decide to close Nyxwyn, we will give you at least 60 days' notice so you can save a copy of your journal, and we will refund any unused part of a subscription where the law requires it.

10. Liability

We provide Nyxwyn with reasonable care and skill. To the extent the law allows:

• we are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable, for decisions you make based on themes or reports, or for problems caused by your device, your internet connection, the app stores, or events outside our reasonable control;
• our total liability to you for anything connected with Nyxwyn is limited to the amount you paid for your subscription in the 12 months before the problem arose.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or deliberate wrongdoing, or anything else the law does not allow us to limit. If you are a consumer, you keep your legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services.

11. Ending the agreement

You can stop at any time by deleting your account in Settings (and cancelling your subscription in the store). We can end the agreement or close your account under section 7, or if we close the service under section 9. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as 2, 10 and 14) continue after the agreement ends.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We will update the date at the top. For significant changes we will tell you in the app at least 30 days before they apply. If you do not agree, you can cancel and delete your account before they apply; if you keep using Nyxwyn after that, the new terms apply.

13. If you downloaded Nyxwyn from Apple's App Store

• These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for Nyxwyn and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Nyxwyn.
• If Nyxwyn fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you can tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Nyxwyn.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims about Nyxwyn, including product-liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection, privacy or similar claims.
• If anyone claims that Nyxwyn infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with that claim.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
• Where these terms are silent, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to your use of the app.

14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live.

If something goes wrong, please write to [email protected] first; most problems can be sorted out quickly. If we cannot settle a dispute together, consumers can use, free of charge, a consumer mediator (médiateur de la consommation). Our registration is in progress; the mediator's name, website and address will appear here before paid subscriptions open. You may also bring a claim before the competent courts: if you are a consumer, that includes the courts where you live.

15. General

If a court decides part of these terms is invalid, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later. You may not transfer this agreement to someone else; we may transfer it to a business that takes over Nyxwyn, provided your rights are not reduced, and we will tell you if that happens. A French version of these terms is available at nyxwyn.com/fr/conditions. If the two differ, the French version prevails for consumers in France.
