Terms of Service
These terms are an agreement between you and Brian Howell, doing business as bow (“bow,” “we,” “us”), covering your use of the bow app and related services.
1. Who can use bow
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. By creating an account you confirm you meet this requirement. You’re responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for the activity on your account.
2. Your content, and information about other people
Profiles, gifts, notes, and photos you add are yours. You give us permission to store and process them solely to operate bow’s features (including sending profile details to our AI provider to generate gift ideas, as described in the Privacy Policy).
bow is a place to record details about the people you give gifts to. Only add information about other people (including children) that you’re entitled to record for your own personal gift-planning, use it only for that purpose, and don’t upload content that’s unlawful or infringes someone else’s rights.
3. AI gift ideas — no guarantees
Gift ideas are generated by an AI model from the information you’ve entered. They can be wrong: prices are estimates, availability isn’t checked, products may be described inaccurately, and an idea isn’t an endorsement. Use your own judgment before buying anything.
4. Purchases and store links
bow doesn’t sell products. Store buttons (such as “Find it on Amazon” or “Search on Google”) open third-party sites; any purchase is between you and that store under its terms, and bow isn’t a party to it. bow doesn’t currently earn commissions on these links. If that changes — for example by joining an affiliate program such as Amazon Associates — we’ll update this section, and any commission will come at no extra cost to you.
5. Acceptable use
Don’t misuse bow: no unauthorized access, scraping, reverse engineering, overloading the service, reselling access, creating accounts by automated means, or using it to harass anyone or to collect information about people for anything other than personal gift-planning. AI gift ideas are subject to fair-use limits (currently a free monthly allowance plus short-term limits) that we may adjust to keep the service sustainable.
6. A new app
bow is new. Features may change, break, or be removed, and — while we work hard to avoid it — data loss is possible. Please keep your own copy of anything irreplaceable (Settings → Export my data).
7. Ending your account
You can delete your account any time in Settings, which permanently erases your data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or end accounts that violate these terms or abuse the service, and we may discontinue the service (with reasonable notice where practicable).
8. Disclaimers and liability
bow is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we’re not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the past 12 months.
9. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms materially, we’ll update the effective date and note the change in the app or by email. Continuing to use bow after a change means you accept the updated terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, excluding its conflict-of-law rules.
