These are the plain-language terms for using Bloom, the Mac app that coaches you on video calls. By using it, you agree to what is below. We have kept it short and readable.
Bloom is made by Vanilla, LLC ("we", "us", "our"), reachable at contact@ticticbloom.com. These terms are between you and us.
This is an early build. Use it, and tell me how it goes.
Bloom is licensed to you, not sold. While you are part of the test program you have a personal, non-transferable license to install it on your Mac and use it to coach yourself on your calls. Please keep it personal: do not copy, share, or redistribute the app or your invite, do not resell it or pass off copies as your own, do not reverse engineer, decompile, or pull the app apart to reuse what is inside, and do not use it to build a competing product, except where the law says we cannot restrict that. The app and everything in it stays ours, and we can end test-program access at any time. Your recordings, notes, and recaps are yours and stay on your Mac.
This is an early version shared with friends and family. It is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. It may have bugs, miss things, or behave in unexpected ways, and it might change or stop working between versions. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that comes from using it. If it is not working for you, the simplest fix is to stop using it.
Bloom reads signals like your posture, eye contact, and speech, and offers suggestions from them. Those readings can be wrong, and the suggestions are just prompts to consider, not professional, medical, legal, or career advice. Use your own judgement about what to act on.
The app can include the other side of a call in what it hears, and it can keep a recording of a call's audio, but only if you turn those on. Laws about recording conversations differ from place to place. Where the law requires it, you are responsible for letting the other people on a call know that you are recording or taking notes. You agree to use Bloom in line with the laws that apply to you.
Some speech and summary features use optional models you can download from inside the app. Those models come with their own licenses and terms, and you agree to follow them. For example, Gemma models are covered by Google's Gemma Terms of Use, which the app notes next to the download.
You can stop at any time. There is no account to close: quitting the app and moving it to the Trash uninstalls it, and the sessions it saved live in its Application Support folder on your Mac, which you can delete too if you want everything gone. That ends these terms for you. We may also stop offering this early build, or change it, as it develops.
