Terms of Use & EULA

Effective: August 22, 2026

These Terms of Use (the Terms) are an agreement between you and Sergio Romano (the Developer, we, us, our) covering the Tied in Bloom app, its widgets, its documentation, and related services (the App). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your license to use the App. These Terms are supplemental to it. Where a term here conflicts with a non-waivable term imposed by Apple or by law, that term controls.

If you are below the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the App only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. Nothing here reduces rights that consumer law does not allow you to waive.

1. License and permitted use

Subject to these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and their Usage Rules.

You may use the App only for lawful, personal wedding-planning purposes. You may not:

• copy, sell, rent, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the App;
• reverse engineer, decompile, bypass security, or derive source code except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• interfere with the App, iCloud, another person's data, or related systems;
• use the App to violate privacy, intellectual-property, consumer-protection, export-control, or other laws; or
• upload, enter, import, export, or share content you do not have the right to use.

2. Your content and other people's information

You keep your rights in the information you enter or import (User Content). You give the Developer only the limited rights technically necessary to operate the App. Your full private wedding plan is processed on your device and through the Apple services you choose to use. If you turn on Wedding Team, the limited team-safe content described below is processed through the Developer's Supabase service so your co-planner can see it.

You are responsible for your User Content and for its accuracy, legality, backups, and use. Guest names, addresses, tags, mail and RSVP dates, notes, budget details, deposits, installments, vendor information, and exports may be personal or confidential. You confirm you have the permissions reasonably necessary to store and share that information. Do not use the App for highly sensitive information, or for anything that would cause material harm if lost or disclosed.

3. iCloud, Wedding Team, and exports

The App may use Apple's iCloud and CloudKit to sync your private plan. Those features depend on your Apple Account, your device settings, network availability, and Apple's services. The Developer does not control Apple's services and does not guarantee that sync, restoration, or conflict resolution will be immediate, complete, or error-free.

New Wedding Teams support two people. A new Team has one owner and one invited co-planner. Older Helper or Viewer records may remain readable and removable for compatibility, but neither role can be newly invited.

Wedding Team uses Continue with Apple and a separate Supabase Team Space. It requests your full name from Apple and uses it as your Team profile name where Apple provides it. If you accept an invitation, the name you enter becomes your membership and profile name.

Wedding Team also includes a Team title derived from the partner names, the wedding date, an opaque identifier linking the Team to the private wedding, membership and role, invitation state, team-safe tasks and notes, and any seating or wedding-day copy the owner publishes. Published seating includes table and layout details, guest display names, internal identifiers, and table and seat placement. Published wedding-day content includes event titles, times, public locations, and team-safe notes.

Wedding Team is designed not to include budgets, payment schedules or due dates, private checklist notes, vendor pricing, guest contact information, dietary information, guest mail or reply dates, guest tags, full guest records, or unpublished working seating layouts. You must not put private or sensitive information into team-safe fields.

Server-side authorization limits what the owner and the co-planner can each read or change. You must not attempt to bypass the role shown in the App or reach information outside the permissions the owner granted. Synchronization, invitations, realtime delivery, and background refresh are best effort and may be delayed or unavailable.

Your co-planner can view, change, copy, export, or further disclose the information available to them. Invite only someone you trust. You are responsible for reviewing access and removing it when appropriate. Ending access cannot retrieve copies the other person already made.

If you created a Plan Together iCloud share in an earlier version, that existing share may still expose your full private plan to the person who accepted it. The owner can end that access and the participant can leave it. The App no longer creates new full-plan iCloud invitations.

Exports leave the App through destinations you choose. You are responsible for checking the file, the recipient, the permissions, and the security before sharing it.

Community safety and reports

Wedding Team is for private wedding planning. You may not use shared display names, Team titles, tasks, notes, or publication labels to harass or bully, express hate or discrimination, distribute sexual content, make threats, promote violence, or send spam or scams. You may not evade safety checks, reporting limits, blocks, or role controls.

The service applies bounded automated checks to shared text. These are a first-line control and will not catch every harmful phrase. Owners can use Report & Remove. Co-planners can use Report, Block & Leave. These actions send the safety-report information described in the Privacy Policy and apply the stated access change immediately. Reports enter a safety review process, but the queue is not monitored in real time, and no individual reply or particular outcome is guaranteed.

Participants can also use Report shared content or Hide & Report for a Team title, member name, task, publication, table, seat, or event. The service keeps the report and exact reported snapshot as described in the Privacy Policy.

Do not use Tied in Bloom to request emergency help or to report alleged criminal activity. Contact local emergency services or the appropriate authority when immediate assistance is needed.

4. Subscriptions

Beginning with version 1.7, Core Wedding Team access for one owner and one invited co-planner is free. The owner will be able to buy an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks advanced Seating Studio features and new publications after Apple approves the products and makes them available. The following terms apply when those subscriptions are available.

Plans configured for version 1.7

The current price for your storefront, including any taxes, is supplied by Apple and is shown in the App before you buy and on the App Store listing. The amounts above are the confirmed United States prices configured in App Store Connect for version 1.7. They remain subject to Apple's product approval and availability. Apple's displayed price controls if it differs.

Only the wedding owner subscribes. The person you invite as a co-planner does not need a subscription and is never asked to buy anything. One subscription unlocks the paid features for the Team.

Where the subscription is intended to launch. The intended version 1.7 configuration limits these subscriptions to the United States App Store storefront. That launch setting remains subject to Apple's approval and live verification. The App itself is available in more countries. If your Apple Account uses a storefront where the subscription is not offered, the App will show that pricing is unavailable and you can continue to use core Wedding Team and every other free feature. Availability may change.

How billing works

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price of the plan you chose.
• You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings after purchase. The App also provides a Manage subscription control that opens those settings.
• Cancelling stops future renewals. It does not shorten or refund the period you have already paid for.

Configured version 1.7 offer settings

• No free trial or introductory offer is configured.
• No promotional offers or offer codes are configured.
• Family Sharing is off for these subscriptions.

Restoring and moving between devices. Your subscription is tied to the Apple Account that bought it. Use Restore Purchases when the App does not recognize an eligible subscription. The App verifies signed transaction status through the Wedding Team service. A subscription is not transferable to another Apple Account and is not sold per wedding.

Refunds. Apple processes purchases, renewals, restorations, and refunds. Refund eligibility and handling are controlled by Apple and by applicable law. Request refunds through Apple, not through the Developer.

If your subscription ends. If a subscription lapses, is refunded, or is revoked, core Wedding Team and your co-planner remain available. The App pauses paid actions: creating additional seating plans, using ready-made layouts, saving or comparing designs, creating the polished Seating Book, and making new publications. Your existing wedding data stays readable and exportable. The Developer does not intentionally delete your wedding data, your saved plans, or your Team content because a subscription ended.

Deleting your account. Deleting your Wedding Team account does not cancel a subscription and does not request a refund. Cancel renewal in your Apple Account settings. Account deletion removes the account's owner-linked commerce records from the Wedding Team service. If you create a new account later, the App can ask Apple to verify an eligible subscription again and create the minimum new records needed for paid feature access. It will not restore a Team or content you deleted. Safety and content-report evidence, plus time-limited service backups, follow the separate retention terms in the Privacy Policy and may outlive the account.

Price changes. If a price increases, Apple will ask for your consent or notify you as its rules require, and you can cancel before the change takes effect.

5. No professional advice and no vendor relationship

The App is an organizational tool. It is not a wedding planner, financial advisor, accountant, lawyer, insurance professional, venue, vendor, payment processor, or emergency service. Budgets, totals, payment schedules, dates, checklists, seating layouts, reminders, and suggestions may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, or unsuitable for your situation.

You are responsible for independently confirming deadlines, prices, legal requirements, accessibility needs, contracts, guest information, and every other decision. Do not rely on the App as the only copy of important information, or as the only reminder for a time-sensitive obligation. The Developer does not endorse or verify vendors and is not a party to your contracts, payments, or events.

6. Availability, updates, and changes

The App may change, gain or lose features, become incompatible with older systems, be interrupted, or be discontinued. The Developer may issue updates for security, compatibility, or functionality. You are responsible for maintaining compatible hardware, current iOS or iPadOS software, an Apple Account where needed, and network access. The Developer is not required to preserve any specific feature or provide perpetual access, except where the law says otherwise. If a paid feature is materially reduced during a period you have paid for, your remedy is through Apple under its refund policy.

7. Privacy

The Tied in Bloom Privacy Policy explains the App's data practices and is incorporated into these Terms. Your use of Apple services is also governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy.

8. Ownership

The App, including its software, design, branding, developer-supplied text, and other non-user content, is owned by the Developer or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. These Terms grant a license, not a sale. Tied in Bloom and its artwork may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without written permission.

9. Third-party services

Apple services, including the App Store, Continue with Apple, iCloud, CloudKit, the Contacts picker, notifications, and the share sheet, are operated by Apple under Apple's terms. Wedding Team uses Supabase as an infrastructure and authentication provider. Any other destination you choose for invitations or exports is governed by its own terms. You must comply with all applicable third-party terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and any wireless or internet service agreement.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. THE DEVELOPER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, DATA PRESERVATION, AND AVAILABILITY. THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL SYNC, BE RESTORED, OR REMAIN AVAILABLE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER AND THE DEVELOPER'S AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, SAVINGS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION; FOR EVENT DISRUPTION; FOR VENDOR OR GUEST CLAIMS; OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGE WAS POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP AND ITS SUBSCRIPTIONS IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

These limits apply to all theories of liability but do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including non-waivable consumer rights.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer and the Developer's affiliates, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from (a) your User Content, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your unlawful, negligent, or unauthorized use of the App, or (d) your violation of another person's privacy, confidentiality, or intellectual-property rights. This section does not require a consumer to indemnify a party for that party's own unlawful conduct where the law prohibits it.

13. Suspension and termination

These Terms run until terminated. You may end them by stopping use and deleting the App. The Developer may suspend or end your license if you materially violate these Terms, or where necessary to protect the App, its users, Apple's services, or legal compliance. Sections that by their nature should survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, and dispute terms, survive termination. Ending your license does not by itself refund a subscription; refunds are handled by Apple.

14. Legal compliance

You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated by the United States Government as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will comply with applicable export-control, sanctions, privacy, and other laws.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which the Developer maintains a principal place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. To the extent the law permits the parties to choose a venue, disputes must be brought in the state or federal courts serving that location, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this section does not remove mandatory protections or any right to bring a claim in another forum that applicable law guarantees you.

Before filing a claim, you and the Developer agree to try in good faith for 30 days to resolve the dispute informally by email, unless urgent injunctive relief is reasonably necessary or applicable law prohibits this requirement.

16. Changes to these Terms

The Developer may update these Terms for legal, security, or product reasons. The effective date will be updated. Material changes will be communicated through the App, the App Store listing, or this page where reasonably appropriate. Continued use after updated Terms take effect is acceptance to the extent the law permits. If you do not agree, stop using and delete the App.

17. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the App, except for non-waivable terms imposed by Apple or by law. If a provision is unenforceable it will be modified only as far as necessary and the rest will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without written consent; the Developer may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of the App, subject to applicable law. Headings are for convenience only.

18. Apple-required terms

You and the Developer acknowledge and agree that:

1. These Terms are between you and the Developer, not Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
2. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. The Developer is solely responsible for any maintenance and support required by these Terms or applicable law.
3. The Developer is solely responsible for product warranties, express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App, and the Developer is responsible for any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty.
4. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability, regulatory, consumer-protection, and privacy claims.
5. If a third party claims the App or your possession and use of it infringes intellectual-property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging the claim.
6. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and on your acceptance Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
