LEGAL
Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms“) carefully. They form a legal agreement between you (“you“ or “your“) and Bloop It Inc. (“Bloop,” “we,” “us,” or “our“), the developer of the Bloop application (the “App“). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App.
The App is licensed, not sold, to you.

2. What Bloop Does
Bloop is a personal organization app that helps you plan and remember things tied to places and time.
Core features (available to all users):
Bloops — location-based tasks or reminders pinned to a place on the map.
Blips — reminders that are not tied to a location.
Notes & Tags — rich text notes and tags for organizing and labeling your items.
Scheduling — due dates, times, and alerts.
Filtering — tools to sort and narrow down your items.
Bloop Pro features (available with a paid subscription — see Section 7):
Two-Way Calendar Sync — optional two-way linking of items with your Apple Calendar.
Outings — grouping multiple stops into a single planned trip.
Copy from Past Bloops — recreating a previous item and its details in a few taps.
Recurrence — repeating reminders on a schedule.
Categories — up to 10 custom, color-coded categories.
We may add, change, or remove features, and we may change which features are included in the free tier or in Bloop Pro, from time to time to improve the App.
3. Eligibility and Your Account
The App does not require you to create a Bloop account. Your content is stored on your device and, where you enable it, within your personal Apple iCloud account under your control.
You must be at least the age of majority in your place of residence, or, if you are younger, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, to use the App. By using the App you represent that you meet these requirements.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of the Apple device and Apple ID you use with the App.
4. License to Use the App
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (the “App Store Terms”). Except as permitted by those Usage Rules, you may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.
This license does not allow you to, and you agree not to:
copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App, except as permitted by law;
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the App or your rights under these Terms;
remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices in the App; or
use the App in any way that is unlawful, infringes the rights of others, or interferes with the App’s normal operation or security.
We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
5. Device Permissions and Your Content
To provide its features, the App may ask your permission to access certain data and device capabilities. You are always in control of these permissions and can change them in the iOS Settings app at any time.
Location. Used to place items on the map, show nearby items, and power location-based reminders. The App uses location only while you have granted permission.
Calendar. If you enable calendar linking, the App reads from and writes to your Apple Calendar using Apple’s EventKit framework so that linked items and their changes stay in sync. You can unlink at any time.
Notifications. Used to deliver the reminders and alerts you schedule.
Your content belongs to you. The tasks, notes, tags, categories, and other material you create in the App (your “Content“) remain yours. We do not claim ownership of your Content. You are solely responsible for your Content and for keeping your own backups. Because your Content is primarily stored on your device and in your personal iCloud account, deleting the App or your data may permanently remove it.
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use any Content you add to the App and that your Content does not violate any law or the rights of any third party.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the App only for lawful, personal purposes and not to:
use the App while operating a vehicle or in any manner that endangers yourself or others;
rely on the App as your sole means of navigation, emergency planning, or time-critical safety decisions;
upload or store unlawful, infringing, or harmful material; or
attempt to gain unauthorized access to, disrupt, or misuse the App or any related systems.
Bloop is a convenience tool, not a safety-critical or professional service. Maps, travel times, distances, routes, and reminders are provided for general planning only and may be inaccurate or incomplete. Always use your own judgment and follow applicable laws and road rules.
7. Bloop Pro Subscriptions
The App offers an optional auto-renewable subscription, Bloop Pro, which unlocks additional features.
Plans and pricing. Bloop Pro is offered as a Monthly plan and an Annual plan. The current price, billing period, and any free trial or introductory offer are shown in the App before you purchase, and may vary by region and over time.
Billing through Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store; we do not receive or store your payment card details.
Automatic renewal. Your subscription automatically renews for the same period at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, at any time in your App Store account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain Pro access until then.
Free trials. If a free trial is offered and you do not cancel before it ends, the subscription converts to a paid subscription at the applicable price. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, and refunds are subject to Apple’s policies. To request a refund, contact Apple. Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable.
Changes to Pro. We may change the features included in Bloop Pro or adjust pricing for future billing periods. Where required, we will give you advance notice, and price changes will not take effect until your next renewal.
8. Intellectual Property
The App, including its software, design, logos, text, graphics, and other materials we provide (excluding your Content), is owned by Bloop or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. The name “Bloop” and our logos are our trademarks. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use them without our prior written permission.
9. Third-Party Services and Terms
The App uses services and software provided by Apple (including MapKit, EventKit, StoreKit, and map data) and may use other third-party components. Your use of those services may be subject to separate third-party terms, and you agree to comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the App. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not endorse them.
10. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that reminders or notifications will always be delivered, that map data, locations, routes, or travel estimates will be accurate, or that the App will be compatible with your device or software. You use the App at your own risk.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Bloop or its owners, employees, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability for all claims relating to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Apple for the App or Bloop Pro in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose, or (b) five Canadian dollars (CAD $5.00).
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including your statutory consumer rights.
12. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bloop and its owners, employees, and licensors from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your Content, your use of the App, or your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law or third-party right.
13. Termination
These Terms apply until terminated. Your license will end automatically if you fail to comply with any of these Terms. You may end this agreement at any time by deleting the App and ceasing all use. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 10, 11, 12, and 15) will survive.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide notice within the App or on our website. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You and Bloop agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Alberta, Canada, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence.
16. Apple-Required Terms (Licensed Application End User License Agreement)
The App is made available through the Apple App Store. The following terms apply in addition to the rest of these Terms. In the event of any conflict between this Section 16 and the other provisions of these Terms with respect to your use of the App obtained through the App Store, this Section 16 controls. In this Section, “Application“ means the Bloop App and “Services“ means the services it provides.
Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and Bloop only, and not with Apple. Bloop, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Application and its content. These Terms do not provide for usage rules that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
Scope of License. The license granted to you for the Application is a limited, non-transferable license to use the Application on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and only as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the Application may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing, where enabled.
Maintenance and Support. Bloop is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Application, as specified in these Terms or as required under applicable law. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Application.
Warranty. Bloop is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the Application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Application to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Bloop’s sole responsibility.
Product Claims. Bloop, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party have relating to the Application or your possession and/or use of the Application, including but not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the Application’s use of any third-party frameworks. These Terms do not limit Bloop’s liability to you beyond what is permitted by applicable law.
Intellectual Property Rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the Application or your possession and use of the Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Bloop, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

17. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Bloop regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
By downloading, installing, or using Bloop, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
