4. Subscriptions, Free Trial, and Billing

Bloombird offers auto-renewing subscriptions. Subscription options and current pricing are shown in the App before you purchase.

Free trial. Where offered, a free trial runs for the stated period. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription will begin and you will be charged.
Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. All payments are processed by Apple; we never receive your payment card details.
Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.
Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store’s policies.

Your subscription automatically renews until cancelled. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time in your Apple ID settings.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the App, including by attempting to reverse-engineer it, interfering with its operation, using it unlawfully, or attempting to extract or abuse the AI features beyond normal personal use.

6. Intellectual Property

The App and its content — including text, exercises, audio, designs, and the Sally character — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for your own personal use. You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works from the App’s content without our permission.

7. User Content

You retain ownership of the content you create in the App (such as journal entries). You grant us a limited licence to store and process that content solely to operate the App and provide its features to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-generated responses will be accurate or suitable for your circumstances.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other consumer protection laws that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App. Where our liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to resupplying the App or paying the cost of resupply.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms within the App and updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
