Empire of Light
Last updated: June 23, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your use of https://empireoflight.love and our related products, content, assessments, courses, and community (the "Services"). The Services are provided by Empire of Light, the operating name of Media Marketing Resource LLC, a California limited liability company ("Empire of Light," "we," "us," or "our").
Please read these Terms carefully. By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By using them, you confirm that you are 18 or older and able to enter a binding agreement. The Services are educational and are intended for adults.
The Learner Covenant is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. It is not a statement of values sitting beside the contract — it is a binding promise from us to you, and you may rely on it and enforce it as you would any other term here.
Where the Covenant and any other document of ours conflict — including these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy — the reading that is more protective of you governs. We will not use the fine print to take back something the Covenant gave you. Where a policy grants us a right that the Covenant promises away, the Covenant wins.
Empire of Light is an educational program about consciousness, wisdom traditions, and personal development. Our assessments and teachings are designed to help you understand yourself and learn in the way that suits you best.
Empire of Light is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or mental-health treatment, and nothing in the Services is a substitute for professional advice from a licensed physician, therapist, or other qualified provider. Our content is for educational and personal-growth purposes only. If you are in crisis or need medical or mental-health support, please contact a qualified professional or your local emergency services. In the U.S. you can call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
What our assessments are, stated plainly. Your Wheel and any reading we generate are our good-faith educational reading of how you learn — built from cited wisdom traditions and our own engineering. They are not psychological diagnoses, not clinical instruments, and not scientifically validated measurements of you, and we will never present them as such. Where the mirror is uncertain, it says less and asks more. (Promise 8, Learner Covenant.)
Automated safety screening. Messages you send your teacher are screened automatically for language suggesting crisis. Where a conversation is flagged, teaching stops and crisis resources are offered immediately — automatically, never waiting on a human. A person is then alerted, and that alert contains none of your words — only the system's decision. Human follow-up is within 24 hours. We are a small team; we do not offer, and will not claim, 24/7 live human support. Crisis exchanges are never scored and never enter our analytics.
Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials secure, and accept responsibility for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at email us if you suspect unauthorized use.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate access for conduct that violates these Terms.
The Services and their content — including the Wisdom Wheel framework, the Know Yourself Quiz, courses, written material, designs, logos, and the Empire of Light name and branding — are owned by Media Marketing Resource LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. No other rights are granted.
If you post content within The Luminaries community or elsewhere in the Services ("Your Content"), you keep ownership of it. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and use Your Content solely to operate and provide the Services. You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to share it. We moderate community content after posting and may remove anything that violates these Terms. Our process for handling copyright complaints is described in our Legal & Disclaimers page (DMCA).
Some offerings are one-time purchases; some (including paid tiers of The Luminaries) are recurring subscriptions. Payments are processed by Stripe; by purchasing, you also agree to Stripe's terms. Prices are shown at checkout.
Automatic renewal. If you buy a subscription, it will automatically renew at the end of each billing period and your payment method will be charged the then-current price until you cancel. We will tell you the length and price of the term before you buy. You may cancel at any time through your account or by emailing email us; cancellation stops future renewals, and your access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for. Where required by law, we will send renewal reminders and provide an easy online cancellation method.
Our refund terms for digital products and community access are set out in our Legal & Disclaimers page and are incorporated here. In summary: digital products may be refunded within 14 days of purchase, provided the course or materials have not been substantially accessed or downloaded; subscriptions may be cancelled at any time with access continuing to the end of the paid period; and we consider good-faith exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
Marketing email is a separate, optional choice. Subscribing to the Services is not agreement to receive marketing email. You opt in to marketing separately, and you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting your account or your access to anything you have paid for. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link and we honor opt-outs promptly.
We will still send you essential service messages — receipts, renewal notices, security and account notices, and changes to these Terms or the Learner Covenant. Those are part of running your account, not marketing, and they continue as long as you have an account.
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any result, insight, or outcome will be achieved. Personal-growth outcomes vary from person to person, and we make no promise of any specific result.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Empire of Light and Media Marketing Resource LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim related to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Empire of Light, Media Marketing Resource LLC, and its members and agents from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or content you share.
Talk to us first. If something goes wrong, email email us and tell us. We would far rather fix it than litigate it, and most things can be resolved in a conversation.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, because Media Marketing Resource LLC is a California company. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be brought in the state or federal courts of California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
Two things we want to be clear about. You may always bring a claim in small-claims court in your own local jurisdiction — you do not have to travel to California for that. And there is no arbitration clause, no class-action waiver, and no jury waiver in these Terms. We did not take those rights from you, and we do not intend to. Nothing here limits any right you have under the consumer-protection laws of the place you live.
You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Services. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including our own intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
The licence you grant us over Your Content does NOT survive. To remove any ambiguity: when you delete your content or your account, the licence in Section 6 ends with it, and we stop hosting, displaying, and using that content. This follows Promise 4 of the Learner Covenant — "delete your account and your data goes with it, fully, not deactivated." The only exception is content another member has already quoted or replied to in a shared thread, and anonymous, de-identified aggregate statistics that can no longer be traced to you. Your obligations to us survive; your grant to us does not.
Material changes are not made by silence. For any material change to these Terms or to the Learner Covenant we will notify you directly, and where the change affects how we handle your assessment or consumer health data we will ask for your consent again rather than infer it from continued use. Non-material changes (typos, clarifications, updated contact details) may be made by posting.
We may update these Terms as the Services or the law change. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, give additional notice. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
