Terms of Service

Effective date: September 18, 2026

1. Your agreement with Bowerbirds

Bowerbirds is operated by Felipe Ignacio Letelier Basáez, a self-employed professional established in Spain, trading as Bowerbirds ("Bowerbirds", "we", "us"). Our business address is C. Río Gargáligas 15, 29002 Málaga, Spain, our Spanish tax identification number is NIF 61969791V, and our support email is felipe@bowerbirds.app. Additional contact information appears in our Legal Notice.

These Terms govern your use of the Bowerbirds hosted service, accounts, workspaces, websites, and related service features accessed through our macOS and iOS applications, integrations, or other supported clients. They apply when you accept them during registration or purchase. Downloading open-source code alone does not create a paid subscription or replace its license.

The following documents accompany these Terms:

• The Subscription and Refund Policy governs purchases, renewals, allowances, cancellation, and withdrawal.
• The Privacy Policy explains personal data processing. Acknowledging it is not consent to every processing activity.
• The Data Processing Addendum applies when we process personal data on a business customer's behalf under the conditions stated there.

An expressly agreed written order may specify additional features or commercial terms. Mandatory law takes priority. The Data Processing Addendum controls conflicts about processing covered by it; a specific purchase disclosure or order controls the corresponding commercial detail; these Terms otherwise apply. None of these documents reduces rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

2. Eligibility and accounts

Bowerbirds is available to individuals and businesses. For this version of the service, account holders and users must be 18 or older and legally able to enter this agreement. If you act for an organization, you must have authority to accept the agreement for it. Being an individual subscriber does not prevent you from using Bowerbirds for professional work.

Provide accurate account and billing information and keep it current. Protect your sign-in credentials, session access, integration credentials, and devices. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity you authorize, but this does not make you responsible for failures attributable to us or remove applicable payment protections.

Access depends on supported operating systems, permissions, connectivity, and any requirements shown for the feature. A feature available on macOS may not be available on iOS, and an announced feature is not included until we expressly offer it.

3. What the service provides

Bowerbirds helps you capture, organize, find, and work with information. Depending on your client and plan, this can include notes, screenshots, images, dictation, audio or video recordings, transcripts, AI assistance, buckets, shared workspaces, cloud storage, and connections to other services.

Cloud features store and process data outside your device. A downloaded app or a locally visible item is not a promise that all functionality is offline or that every cloud item has a complete local copy. Review the Privacy Policy and your workspace settings before uploading sensitive material.

Your plan describes the resources and features included. Workspace allowances may be shared by members. Neither a workspace subscription nor an AI credit is a promise of unlimited storage, processing, or service availability.

4. Your content and permissions

As between you and Bowerbirds, you retain your rights in content you provide, including recordings, images, notes, documents, and other inputs. We do not acquire ownership of that content by storing or processing it.

You give us permission to host, copy, transmit, format, index, and otherwise process your content only as needed to provide the features you request, carry out authorized workspace instructions, maintain and secure the service, and comply with law. This includes using service providers for those purposes, subject to applicable data protection obligations. This permission does not authorize us to sell your private content, publish it for advertising, or use it to train a general-purpose AI model for our own purposes.

The permission lasts while necessary for those purposes, including the limited retention described in our Privacy Policy. Content that you send to a third-party service or share with another person may remain with that recipient under its own arrangements.

You must have the rights and lawful authority needed to provide and process the content, including permission to include another person's information where required. Ownership of a device, subscription, or workspace does not by itself give permission to record other people or disclose their confidential information.

5. Recordings, captures, and sensitive information

Before recording a meeting, microphone input, a screen, or another person's communications, provide the notices and obtain the permissions required in the relevant circumstances and locations. Respect employer policies, confidentiality obligations, and other people's privacy. Device permission prompts authorize device access; they do not obtain consent from meeting participants on your behalf.

Use the app's recording indicators and controls responsibly. Do not use Bowerbirds for covert surveillance, unlawful interception, or to obtain content you are not entitled to access.

Do not submit passwords, payment authentication information, or unusually sensitive material unless the feature is intended for it and you have assessed the relevant safeguards. Bowerbirds is not offered as a regulated medical records system or a substitute for a separately agreed service with specialized compliance requirements.

6. AI features and automated actions

AI features may send the content relevant to your request, such as audio, text, images, video, and associated context, to our cloud and the providers identified in the Privacy Policy. We request permission before the covered third-party AI sharing. You can decline or withdraw that permission through the available controls; features dependent on that processing will then be unavailable.

An AI transcript, summary, suggested destination, generated response, or proposed action may be incomplete or incorrect. Check outputs and permissions before relying on them, sharing them, or allowing an integration to act on them. The service does not provide professional legal, medical, or financial advice.

To the extent we hold transferable rights in an output generated for you, we assign those rights to you. This does not guarantee that an output is copyrightable, unique, or free of third-party rights, and it does not grant rights in another customer's content.

Automations and connected tools may change data or send it to a configured destination. You are responsible for choosing their scope and supervising the actions you authorize. We remain responsible for providing the service in accordance with this agreement and applicable law.

7. Workspaces, sharing, and integrations

Workspace owners and administrators can manage the membership, settings, billing, and permissions made available to their roles. Use of a shared workspace is also subject to the instructions of the organization that operates it. Access to individual items depends on the actual item and workspace permissions; a billing role is not a blanket grant of access to every private item.

Before leaving or deleting a workspace, arrange any necessary handover and export. Removing your account does not necessarily remove content legitimately retained in another customer's workspace. Personal data requests concerning that content are handled as described in our Privacy Policy and the applicable Data Processing Addendum.

When you connect a third-party service, authorize an agent or tool, or publish a capture widget on your own website, you control the permissions and destinations you configure. Third-party terms may apply to those services. Disconnecting an integration stops future authorized access when revocation takes effect; it does not recall information already delivered. You remain responsible for notices and permissions on a website where you install a Bowerbirds widget.

8. Acceptable use

Do not use the hosted service to:

• Break applicable law, infringe intellectual property, or unlawfully disclose personal or confidential information.
• Distribute malware, compromise accounts, bypass access controls, or interfere with other users' service.
• Harass people, exploit children, conduct unlawful surveillance, or produce deceptive impersonations intended to cause harm.
• Evade payment, plan limits, security protections, or provider restrictions through fraudulent accounts or unauthorized access.
• Send unauthorized bulk communications or cause an integration to perform actions outside the permission granted to it.

These rules govern access to our hosted service. They do not revoke rights granted under an applicable open-source license or prohibit activities that mandatory law protects. You can report a suspected security issue or unlawful use to felipe@bowerbirds.app. Include enough information for us to investigate without sending unnecessary sensitive content.

9. Software licenses and branding

Software components are governed by their accompanying licenses. Bowerbirds repository code distributed under Apache License 2.0 remains subject to that license, including its permissions and notice requirements. Other components may have their own licenses. These Terms do not replace or narrow those grants.

For the app distributed through Apple's App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies where no custom app license is supplied, together with applicable component licenses. These Terms govern the related Bowerbirds service and do not purport to bind Apple to our service obligations.

The right to use code does not by itself grant rights to Bowerbirds names, logos, or other branding. Keep applicable license and attribution notices with redistributed material.

10. Purchases and cancellation

Before payment, we show or make available the plan, price, currency, billing interval, included resources, renewal terms, and relevant cancellation information. Taxes and any introductory conditions are disclosed in the purchase flow. You authorize recurring charges only when you agree to a recurring subscription.

Apple purchases and direct web purchases have different management routes. Cancellation normally stops a future renewal; it is different from a refund request, statutory withdrawal, or account deletion. The Subscription and Refund Policy explains each route and the effect on storage and credits.

11. Storage, deletion, and service changes

Retention depends on your plan, workspace policies, and your deletion instructions. In particular, the free cloud service has a limited retention window, and cloud content in a lapsed paid workspace is subject to deletion after a grace period. The precise schedule is in the Privacy Policy. Keep an independent export of information you need to preserve. This recommendation does not excuse our failure to meet agreed obligations.

We may make changes needed for security, legal compliance, compatibility, or service improvement. We will provide any notice, information, choice, or remedy required by law. For changes materially reducing a paid service, we will explain the effect in advance where required and give you the applicable right to end the affected service or obtain a remedy. We will not treat a roadmap change as permission to remove mandatory digital-service guarantees.

Experimental features will be identified when offered. Unless specifically agreed, we do not promise a particular uptime percentage or response-time service level. Consumer rights and express commitments still apply.

12. Suspension and ending the agreement

You may stop using the service, cancel your subscription, or request account deletion. Outstanding legitimate charges and necessary provisions about accrued rights, licenses, privacy, and disputes survive termination as appropriate.

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address a material breach, nonpayment, a security threat, or a legal requirement. Where practical and lawful, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to resolve it. Urgent protective action may be immediate. Contact support if you believe an action is mistaken.

If we discontinue a paid service for reasons other than your material breach, we will provide reasonable notice, a practicable opportunity to retrieve your content, and a proportionate refund for the paid period we will not supply, subject to the purchase channel and any greater rights under law. Restrictions will not be used to defeat a valid privacy request or refund right.

13. Responsibility and consumer rights

We will provide the service with reasonable care and skill and meet applicable legal requirements for digital content and services. Each party is responsible for loss for which it is legally liable. This agreement does not impose a general indemnity requiring consumers to pay our legal costs or waive statutory remedies.

Nothing excludes or limits liability where that would be unlawful, including for fraud, deliberate misconduct, or other liabilities protected by mandatory law. AI limitations, service interruptions, or third-party involvement do not by themselves remove responsibility that the law places on us. Any separately negotiated business limitation must be explicit and cannot restrict a data subject's statutory rights.

14. Law, complaints, and disputes

Spanish law governs this agreement. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections available under the law of your habitual residence where those protections apply.

Send complaints to felipe@bowerbirds.app or the address in the Legal Notice. We will respond under applicable complaint-handling requirements. You do not have to use informal support before exercising a right to go to a competent authority or court. Jurisdiction is determined by applicable law; these Terms do not require consumers to litigate exclusively in our home city or submit to mandatory arbitration.

15. Updates and contact

We may update these Terms for changes to the service, business, or law. We will identify the effective date, retain the applicable version, and give notice of material changes through an appropriate channel. Where agreement is required, we will obtain it. Changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights or change a completed purchase without a valid basis.
