01Who this is between
These terms are between Bloom Coffee OS (“Bloom”, “we”) and the business that has an account with us (“you”). They take effect when you first use the service and continue while your account is open.
If you signed a separate written agreement with us, that agreement wins wherever the two disagree.
02What we provide
Bloom is a management system for coffee shops: point of sale, kitchen display, inventory, staff scheduling, reporting, and QR ordering for your customers. You get access for your shop and your staff, for as long as your subscription is current.
We may add, change or retire individual features. If we remove something you depend on, we will tell you before we do it, not after.
03Your account, your staff
- You are responsible for what happens under your account, including everything your staff do with it.
- Give each person their own login. Shared accounts destroy the audit trail, which is the thing that tells you who voided the bill.
- Keep credentials secret, and tell us promptly if you think an account has been compromised.
- You confirm you have the right to put your staff’s and customers’ data into the system, and that you have told them you are doing it.
- If you enable face recognition, you are responsible for collecting each staff member’s explicit consent first.
04Paying for it
- Fees
- As quoted to you in writing before you started. We do not publish a price list on this site; what you were quoted is what applies.
- Billing
- In advance for each period, in Tunisian dinar unless agreed otherwise.
- Price changes
- We can change pricing for a future period with at least 30 days' written notice. It never applies to a period you have already paid for. If you do not accept the new price, you can end the agreement before it takes effect.
- Late payment
- If an invoice is significantly overdue we may suspend access after warning you first. We do not delete data because of an unpaid invoice.
- Customer payments
- Your customers pay you directly, in person. Bloom does not process card payments, does not hold your money, and takes no commission on your sales.
05Who owns what
- Your data is yours
- Your menu, orders, customers, staff records, stock and reports belong to you. We claim no ownership of them and we do not sell them, share them, or use them to train anything.
- Our software is ours
- The Bloom platform, its name and its design remain ours. You get the right to use it, not to own it.
- What we may do with it
- Only what is needed to run the service for you, plus aggregate statistics that cannot identify you or any individual.
- Getting it out
- You can export your data at any time while your account is open, without asking us and without a fee.
06Using it properly
Do not:
- Try to break into parts of the system that are not yours, or probe another shop’s data.
- Copy, resell or rent access to the platform to someone else.
- Reverse engineer it, except where the law says you may.
- Use it to send messages people did not ask for, or for anything illegal.
- Deliberately overload it, or use it in a way that degrades the service for other shops.
Security research is different from an attack, and we treat it that way — the rules for it are on the security page.
07Uptime, honestly
We work to keep Bloom available and we monitor it, but we do not offer a contractual uptime guarantee unless one is written into a separate agreement with you.
Why we say it that way
The service runs on a single server in France with nightly backups and no automatic failover. Recovery from a hardware failure means restoring a backup, which takes hours rather than seconds.
Publishing “99.99% uptime” — as an earlier version of this website did — would have been a promise the infrastructure cannot keep. A café needs to know whether it must be able to take orders on paper for an afternoon. The answer today is yes, occasionally, and you should plan for it.
We schedule maintenance outside Tunisian trading hours where we can, and warn you in advance for anything that will interrupt service.
08What we are not responsible for
Bloom records and routes what your business does; it does not run your business. We are not responsible for the quality or safety of the food and drink you serve, for what your staff enter into the system, for your tax and accounting obligations, or for your own hardware, network or internet connection.
The service is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be free of faults or that it fits a particular purpose you have in mind but have not told us about.
09Limits on liability
Neither side is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss — lost profit, lost custom, lost goodwill.
Our total liability to you in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
10Ending it
- You can leave
- At any time, with 30 days' notice. We do not run a cancellation obstacle course.
- We can end it
- With 30 days' notice, or immediately for serious breach — non-payment after warning, or using the system to attack it or to break the law.
- Refunds
- If we end it without cause, we refund the unused part of what you have paid.
- Your data afterwards
- Export it during the 30 days after the account closes. After that we delete it, and backups age out within a further 30 days.
11Changes to these terms
We can update these terms. For a material change we give at least 30 days' notice to account holders directly — not just by editing this page. If you do not accept the change, you can end the agreement before it takes effect.
12Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Tunisia, and the courts of Tunis have jurisdiction over any dispute.
