Terms of Use & EULA

Effective: July 13, 2026

These Terms of Use and End-User License Agreement (the Terms) are a legal agreement between you and Sergio Romano (the Developer, we, us, or our) for the Tied in Bloom mobile application, widgets, documentation, and related services (collectively, the App).

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App. If you are below the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the App only with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. These Terms do not reduce rights that applicable 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 that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and their Usage Rules. The App may also be used by accounts associated with the purchaser through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where Apple permits it.

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 retain your rights in information you enter or import (User Content). You give the Developer only the limited rights technically necessary to operate the App; because the Developer does not operate a wedding-data server, this processing occurs through the App on your device and through Apple services you choose to use.

You are solely responsible for User Content and for its accuracy, legality, backups, and use. Guest names, addresses, RSVP status, notes, budget details, vendor information, and exports may be personal or confidential. You represent that you have all permissions reasonably necessary to store and share that information. Do not use the App for highly sensitive information or anything that would create material harm if lost or disclosed.

3. iCloud, partner sharing, and exports

The App may use Apple's iCloud and CloudKit to sync data and share plans with people you invite. These features depend on your Apple Account, device settings, network availability, Apple's services, and the invited person's actions. The Developer does not control Apple services and does not guarantee that sync, sharing, restoration, or conflict resolution will be immediate, complete, or error-free.

An invited participant may view, change, copy, export, or further disclose shared information. Invite only people you trust. You are responsible for reviewing sharing participants and removing access when appropriate. Ending a share cannot retrieve copies another person already made.

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

4. No professional advice or 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, dates, checklists, seating layouts, reminders, and suggestions may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, or unsuitable for your circumstances. The Developer does not endorse or verify vendors and is not a party to your contracts, payments, or events.

You are responsible for independently confirming deadlines, prices, legal requirements, accessibility needs, contracts, guest information, and all other decisions. Do not rely on the App as the only copy of important information or as the only reminder for a time-sensitive obligation.

5. Availability, updates, and changes

The App may change, gain or lose features, become incompatible with older systems, experience interruptions, or be discontinued. The Developer may issue updates for security, compatibility, or functionality. You are responsible for maintaining compatible hardware, iOS/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 applicable law says otherwise.

6. 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 applicable terms and privacy policy.

7. Ownership

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

8. Third-party services and terms

Apple services, including the App Store, iCloud, CloudKit, Contacts picker, notifications, and share sheet, are operated by Apple and governed by Apple's terms. Other destinations you choose for exports are governed by their own terms. You must comply with all applicable third-party terms, including Apple Media Services Terms and any wireless-data or internet-service agreement, when using the App.

9. 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, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL SYNC, BE RESTORED, OR REMAIN AVAILABLE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. 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; LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, SAVINGS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION; EVENT DISRUPTION; VENDOR OR GUEST CLAIMS; OR 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 DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

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

11. 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 prohibited by law.

12. Suspension and termination

These Terms remain effective until terminated. You may terminate them by stopping use and deleting the App. The Developer may suspend or terminate the license if you materially violate these Terms or if necessary to protect the App, users, Apple services, or legal compliance. Sections that by their nature should survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, and dispute terms, will survive termination.

13. Legal compliance

You represent 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 listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will comply with applicable export-control, sanctions, privacy, and other laws.

14. Governing law and disputes

Applicable law governs these Terms 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 the Developer's principal place of residence, and you consent to those courts' personal jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this section does not deprive you of mandatory protections or the right to bring a claim in another forum that applicable law guarantees.

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

15. Changes to these Terms

The Developer may update these Terms for legal, security, or product changes. The effective date will be updated. Material changes will be communicated through the App, App Store listing, or public Terms page when reasonably appropriate. Continued use after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree, stop using and delete the App.

16. General terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the App, except for non-waivable terms imposed by Apple or law. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified only as much as necessary and the remainder 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.

17. Apple-required terms

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 furnish maintenance or support for the App. The Developer is solely responsible for maintenance and support required by these Terms or applicable law.
3. The Developer is solely responsible for product warranties, whether 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 concerning the App. The Developer is responsible for 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 that 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. When you accept these Terms, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
