Terms of Use

Last updated August 1, 2026

By using BloomsEye (this website, the Studio at studio.bloomseye.com, and the BloomsEye mobile app), you agree to these terms. BloomsEye is operated by an independent developer (referred to here as "we", "us", or "the operator").

Using the service

BloomsEye provides reference information about garden plants and tools to design gardens. Plant information (bloom times, sizes, hardiness, and care) is carefully checked but offered without warranty of any kind: real results vary with climate, soil, weather, and care, and some community library entries are generated with AI assistance and verified on a best-effort basis. Always confirm a plant's suitability, and its safety for people and pets, before planting.

Your account and content

Garden designs and lists you create belong to you. You are responsible for your account, for keeping its password safe, and for the content you create. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. You can permanently delete your account, and everything saved under it, at any time from inside the app or the Studio.

Premium subscriptions

BloomsEye is free to use. An optional paid tier, Premium, adds extra features such as the Garden Coach. The price and billing period (monthly or yearly) are shown at checkout before you pay. On the web, checkout and card processing are handled by Stripe and subscriptions are managed through RevenueCat; if you ever buy Premium inside the mobile app, that purchase is billed by the app store you bought it through and follows that store's own billing and refund rules.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until canceled. You can cancel at any time from the Premium page's Manage button or the link in your purchase receipt; canceling stops the next renewal, and Premium keeps working until the end of the period you already paid for. If a renewal payment cannot be collected, the subscription ends and the free tier keeps working. If we change a subscription's price, the new price applies from a later renewal and we will tell you before it does.

Where the law of your region gives you a mandatory cooling-off or withdrawal right, we honor it. Beyond that, payments are non-refundable; if something went wrong with your purchase, write to support@bloomseye.com and we will try to make it right.

Our content and intellectual property

Everything BloomsEye provides other than your own garden designs and lists is owned by or licensed to the operator and is protected by intellectual property and unfair-competition laws. This includes, without limitation, the website and the Studio and app software; the plant database and the way its entries are selected, checked, and arranged; the plant imagery (including the AI-generated photo cards and cut-outs); the written guides and care notes; the overall look and feel; and the BloomsEye name and logo.

The real photographs shown below some plant cards are a separate case: they are contributed by third parties and used under their own CC0 or CC BY licenses, which govern how they may be used and shared. Each photograph shows its credit, and the full list of sources is on the Photo credits page.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable permission to view and use this content for your own personal, non-commercial gardening. That permission does not transfer any ownership to you.

Except as that personal use allows, and without our prior written permission, you may not: copy, scrape, crawl or otherwise harvest in bulk, extract, republish, redistribute, sell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit any part of the content or the plant database; use any of it to build, train, or improve a machine-learning model, an AI system, or a competing dataset; frame, mirror, or systematically reproduce the site; or remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice. These restrictions apply to all of our content regardless of whether any individual item is separately copyrightable, and they are a condition of your permission to use the service.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve BloomsEye without any obligation to you.

Acceptable use

Do not misuse the service: do not attempt to disrupt, probe, overload, or gain unauthorized access to it or its systems; do not use it to break the law; do not scrape or bulk-download its content or database (see the section above); and do not abuse the AI features. We may suspend or terminate access that does, and we may correct or remove community plant entries that are inaccurate or abusive.

Third-party links and services

BloomsEye may link to third-party websites and services (for example, plant nurseries) and is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices; your use of them is governed by their own terms.

The service

BloomsEye is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising from planting decisions, plant performance, or interruptions to the service, and we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to BloomsEye will not exceed the amount you paid us to use it in the twelve months before the claim, which for use of the free tier is zero. Features may change, pause, or be discontinued over time.

Your responsibility for claims

You agree to cover reasonable costs and claims that arise from your misuse of the service or your breach of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to BloomsEye or these terms, and you consent to that venue.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms; continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms. Material changes will be reflected in the date above.
