Broomi Terms of Service
These Terms are an agreement between you and the person who runs Broomi. By making an account, by joining a household, or by signing in again after we change these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Broomi.
Please read the section called "A household has no privacy inside it". It is the part of this agreement that surprises people most, and it is the part you most need to know before you join a household with anybody.
Who runs Broomi
Broomi is run by Mohammed Abdi, an individual in the United States. There is no company behind it.
You can reach us at support@broomi.app. That is the only support route. Some of Broomi's automated emails ask you to reply to them. Those messages come from no-reply@broomi.app, nobody reads replies sent there, and you should write to support@broomi.app instead.
Broomi is not finished
Broomi is before launch. Only a test environment exists today.
That means all of the following, and you accept them as a condition of using Broomi now:
- Features can change, move or disappear without notice.
- Your data can be lost. We may reset or rebuild the database. There is no promise that anything you create today will still be there tomorrow. Where these Terms or the Privacy Policy say a record is kept for as long as a household exists, that describes what the code does with it, not a promise that we will not wipe a test environment.
- There is no promise that Broomi will be available at any time, or at all.
- Background clean up jobs can be switched off in an environment, and they are created switched off. When they are off, a photograph stays stored until somebody turns them back on. Nothing else deletes it.
- Email from Broomi is best effort. A message can be lost with no record that it was ever asked for, including a verification link, a password reset link and a security warning.
Do not use Broomi as the only record of anything that matters to you.
A lot of this is not in the app yet
Broomi's server can do more than the Broomi app can ask it to. Several things these Terms give you are built on the server and have no screen in the app today. These are the ones that matter:
- Downloading your data.
- Deleting your account, and seeing the summary of what deletion will do before you confirm.
- Seeing the list of your open sessions, and signing out everywhere.
- Changing your email address or your password.
- Adding anybody to a household, adult or child.
- Recording, reading or withdrawing a parent's consent for a child seat.
- Making somebody an admin, or changing anybody's role.
- Changing any household setting.
Until those screens exist, the way to use the first five is to write to support@broomi.app and ask us, and the last three cannot be done at all. We do not pretend this is good enough. It means these rights depend on a person reading an inbox.
Who may use Broomi
You may make a Broomi account if you are 13 or over.
When you sign up, Broomi asks you to confirm that you are 13 or over, and keeps your answer with the time and the internet address you answered from. Broomi does not ask for, and does not hold, your date of birth or your age, and does not work out your age from anything. There is one exception and it is not about you: whoever adds a seat to a household board can type a birth year onto that seat, and Broomi stores that year. See "Children on a board". Nothing in Broomi verifies anybody's age. The 13 or over question is yours to answer honestly, and if you answer that you are under 13, Broomi will not make you an account.
If you are under 13 you cannot have a Broomi account. An adult can add you to their household as a seat on the board instead. That is not an account: it has no email address, no password and no way to sign in.
If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may use Broomi only with the agreement of a parent or guardian, and that adult agrees to these Terms with you.
Children on a board
A child in Broomi is a seat on a household board. A child seat has no login and nobody can sign in as it, so every tap that looks like it was made by a child was in fact made from an adult's signed in session, and the record says which adult tapped.
The points, though, are the child's. Broomi credits a chore to the person it was for and not to the finger that tapped, so an adult ticking a child's chore pays the child. A child seat therefore builds up a points ledger, a balance, held and spendable points and a streak, can be named as the doer on a stamp, and can be the target of a reward priced against that child's own balance. Everything in the list under "A household has no privacy inside it" is true of a child's record as much as of yours, and every member of the household can read it.
Adding a child seat is an admin's act, in every household, managed or not. Only an admin can do it, only an admin can read or withdraw the consent record behind it, and a household with no admin at all cannot add a child seat until somebody is made an admin. A child seat can never be made an admin.
A child seat cannot exist without a consent record. This is not an option an admin may take: Broomi refuses to write the seat at all unless a consent method is given with it, and the seat and the consent are written together, so a refused consent takes the seat with it. The only method Broomi can really offer is an adult ticking a box. Broomi performs no card check, collects no signed form and makes no video call, and where any of those is claimed the only thing stored is a line of text of up to 200 characters that nothing checks.
None of this is in any released Broomi app. There is no screen that adds a member of any kind, and no screen that records, reads or withdraws a consent. So no child seat can be added to a household from the app today.
Withdrawing a consent records the withdrawal and changes nothing else. It does not remove the child's seat, and it does not delete a single point, stamp, photograph or badge.
Broomi does not check the age of anybody added to a board, and does not ask. A seat carries no age and no birthday at all, so there is nothing on it to compare against the child flag: a seat that is not marked as a child is written as an ordinary adult member with no consent record and no warning, whoever it is for.
There is no way to rename a seat once it is created, and there is no way for an adult to download what the household holds about a child.
If you add a child, you confirm that you are that child's parent or guardian, or that you have that adult's permission. You are responsible for what is put into Broomi about that child, and for what the other people in that household can then see about them.
Every member of a household, not only an admin, can see which seats on the board are marked as children.
Your account
An account is an email address and a password. One email address is one account.
Broomi compares addresses without regard to capital letters, and treats two spellings of the same characters as one address. It does not treat a plus tag or extra dots as the same mailbox, so name+house@example.com, n.a.m.e@example.com and name@example.com count as three different addresses and can hold three different accounts.
Your password must be at least 8 characters and contain at least one digit, up to 128 characters. There is no requirement for a capital letter or a symbol. Broomi stores it only as a one way hash and cannot read it back, to you or to itself.
There is no two factor authentication, and there is no sign in with Apple, Google or any other service. Your email address and your password are the only way into your account, so keeping that password to yourself is the only protection your account has. There is no lock on an account after repeated failed sign ins. Tell us at support@broomi.app if you think somebody else has it.
You must give an email address you control, and you must not ask to change your address to a mailbox that is not yours. When you ask to move your account to a new address, Broomi emails a confirmation link to that address. Broomi will send that link to any address no Broomi account already holds, on your password alone, so a message can land in the inbox of somebody who has never heard of Broomi. There is no screen for this in the app today.
You must confirm your email address before you can sign in.
Sessions and signing out
Signing in gives your device a short lived access pass and a longer lived renewal token. You should know what that means in practice:
- A pass lasts 10 minutes and is accepted on its signature alone, with no check against our records. So if you sign out, if you sign out everywhere, or if you change your password, a session that was already open can keep working for up to 10 more minutes.
- A device that keeps being used stays signed in, without being asked for your password again, for up to a year.
- A pass is signed with the application's own general secret, which is the same secret the rest of the server uses. If that one secret ever leaked, a valid pass could be minted for any account.
- Broomi keeps a list of your sessions, with the device label, the browser or app string, when the session started, when it was last used and when it expires. There is no screen in the app that shows it to you, and no screen that signs you out everywhere. Ask us at support@broomi.app if you want to see your list.
- Every sign in records the internet address you came from and the browser or app string your device sent. Every automatic renewal after it writes a new record that copies that first address and that browser string forward, so a phone that renews a few times a day builds up roughly a thousand records a year, each one carrying the address of the sign in it came from. Nothing deletes those records while your account exists. Deleting your account deletes all of them.
- The same is true of the internet address recorded when you accept these Terms, when you answer the 13 or over question, and when you make any consent decision. Those records are destroyed when the account is deleted, and only then. The Privacy Policy explains all of this.
- Your data download hands those addresses back to you. Nothing in the app shows them.
- A pass on its own is enough to download everything about your account, three times a day. Deleting the account, by contrast, needs your current password. So somebody who gets hold of a signed in session can take a complete copy of your account, including those addresses and browser strings, and cannot delete anything. That is deliberate, and it is the reason to guard a signed in device.
What a household is
A household is a board shared by the people in it. It has a name, rooms, chores, a points ledger, a reward shelf and an invite code.
You create a household, or you join one with its invite code. Joining is immediate: there is no request and no approval step. Anybody who has the code and an account can walk in. One account can hold a seat in at most ten households.
Your seat in a household is a different thing from your account. One account can hold seats in several households, and the points, chore history and badges belong to the seat. If you leave a household and come back with a valid code, you get your old seat back, with its history and its points, as an ordinary member.
The invite code is a key to the house
The household's invite code is shown to every member of the household on the ordinary household screen. Anybody who is handed it, by any member, can join the household and from that moment read everything in the list below: every member's points history, any photograph in the household, and which seats are marked as children. In a household that is not managed they can then also delete things and remove people. Treat the code the way you would treat a door key.
The code can be rotated, which stops every copy of the old code working, including the copies other members are holding. In a managed household only an admin can rotate it. In a household that is not managed, any member can. Removing another person's seat, where that person has a login, also rotates the code. Leaving a household yourself does not, and removing a child seat does not.
Your name stays where you leave it
Leaving a household, or being removed from one, does not take your name off the seat. The seat keeps your name, your points history, your stamps and your photographs, and the household can go on reading all of it. The only thing that takes your name off is deleting your whole Broomi account, which reaches every household you ever held a seat in. See "Deleting your account".
A copy of the household sits on each member's phone
The Broomi app keeps a copy of the household on the device: the household, its members, rooms, chores, points, ledger entries, rewards, redemptions and the current event. So your points history is not only on our server, it is also on your housemates' phones, and we cannot reach it there.
The app clears that copy whenever it ends the session, for whatever reason: you sign out, your session is refused, it is revoked from another device, or the app starts and finds no session. But the app has to be running and has to notice. A phone that is never opened again, or is offline, keeps its copy.
A household has no privacy inside it
This is the part to read twice. Inside a household there is no privacy boundary between members. By joining a household, you accept that every other member of it can see, at any time:
- Your points ledger, newest first, back to the two thousand most recent entries.
- Your balance, your held points, your spendable points, and what you earned this week, this month, this year and all time.
- Your current streak.
- Every chore you marked done, when you marked it, who stamped it, when it was stamped, and whether it was stamped automatically.
- Every chore sent back to you, and the reason the person typed.
- Any proof photograph in that household. Any member who has a photograph's identifier can ask Broomi for a link to it, whether or not the photograph has anything to do with them. There is no rule that keeps a photograph to the person who took it, to the person stamping it, or to adults.
- Whether a photograph you just sent looks like one that was already sent back, or like one sent recently. Broomi works that out automatically and shows the answer to the person stamping.
- Which seats on the board are marked as children.
- The household's invite code.
Your name also travels in other people's data downloads. Where a housemate downloads their own data, your seat name appears in it wherever you took part in something of theirs, including in a household they have since left.
What other members cannot see is your account. Your email address, whether you verified it, and your account dates are not reachable by anybody else, not even by a household admin.
If you do not want somebody to see the things in that list, do not join a household with them.
Who can do what in a household
A household is either managed or not. The shape is chosen once, when the household is created: a household created as a family is managed, and one created as a flat or on your own is not. Nothing in Broomi changes it afterwards. Pick the shape you want at the start, because you cannot switch later, and no household setting of any kind can be edited once the household exists.
Whoever creates a household is its admin, whatever the shape. People who join with the code come in as ordinary members. Managed mode is what makes that role bite.
In a household that is not managed, almost everything is open to every member. That means every member, including one who joined five minutes ago with a code somebody read out, can:
- Create, edit and delete chores and rooms.
- Edit the reward shelf.
- Remove other members.
- Rotate the invite code.
- Stamp work and send work back.
Three things stay with the admin in every household, managed or not: adding a child seat, reading or withdrawing a child's consent, and changing somebody's role.
In a managed household the whole first list is for admins only. A plain member can put a chore onto their own seat and nothing else, and only an admin may stamp work or send it back. A child seat can never be an admin. If a managed household loses its last admin, every remaining member gets full rights again until somebody is made an admin.
One rule holds in every household: nobody may stamp or send back their own work. Changing somebody's role is an admin action, with one exception. A household with no admin at all is not stuck: any member with a login can take the admin seat there, and whoever takes it first then holds every admin power, including over a child's consent record. Self promotion is refused while the household still has an admin.
No released Broomi app has a screen for adding a member, for changing a role, or for editing any household setting. So the first and third items in that list of three, and the role rules above, describe what the service can do rather than what you can do today.
Deleting a chore or a room does not erase its past. The chore is archived, and its runs and the points it paid stay in the household's record. Skipping a run does the opposite: it overwrites that run, and the record that somebody had marked it, and when, is gone.
Leaving a household means removing your own seat. If you are the last member, Broomi routes you to deleting the household instead.
Broomi tells you nothing
Broomi sends no notifications of any kind. There is no push notification, no reminder, no email when your work is stamped or sent back, and no digest. Nothing is built. That matters for two things in this agreement: the automatic approval clock below runs whether or not anybody is looking, and a chore sent back to you waits until you open the app.
Points
Points are a scorekeeping feature inside a household. Here is how they work.
You mark a chore done. Until somebody stamps it, nothing is paid. A housemate stamps it, which mints the points, or sends it back with a reason. You can retract your own mark before it is stamped, and retracting pays nothing and records no dispute.
If the household has automatic approval switched on, work nobody stamped is confirmed automatically once the waiting time has passed, and the points are minted. An automatic stamp names nobody, because nobody made it.
The waiting time is 24 hours. The database will hold only four values for it, off, 12 hours, 24 hours or 48 hours, so two days is the longest wait that could ever exist, and nothing in Broomi writes that value after the household is created. In practice every household that is not managed sits on 24 hours and every managed household has automatic approval off, which means work there waits for an admin for however long that takes.
One stamp can mint up to four separate entries: the chore itself, a bonus for a proof photograph, a house event bonus and a streak bonus. That is why your activity can show more entries than chores you did.
A run is recorded against the date the chore was for, not the day you tapped it. A Tuesday chore marked on Thursday is recorded as Tuesday.
The ledger is permanent and cannot be edited. An undo does not erase an entry, it posts an opposite entry beside it. An undo has no time limit, and is refused only when it would push the seat's balance below zero because the points have already been spent. The wording stored against an entry is the chore's title as it stood at the moment of the stamp, so renaming or deleting a chore later does not change what the record says.
Points are not money
Points have no cash value. You cannot redeem them for money, sell them, transfer them to another person, or take them out of Broomi. They are not property, not currency, not a credit and not a stored value. There is no way in Broomi to move points from one person to another.
Points exist only inside the household that minted them and have no meaning outside it. If a household goes away, its points go with it.
A reward on a household's shelf is a promise between the people in that household. It is not our promise. We do not supply, fund, guarantee or arbitrate anything a household puts on its shelf, and we take no part in whether a reward is actually given.
We may change how points are minted, change what anything costs, and correct or reset points in any household, where we need to fix a fault or stop somebody gaming the system.
Redeeming and Broomi+
Redeeming a reward is the one feature that sits behind Broomi+. Everything else is free.
There is no way to buy Broomi+ today. No payment is taken anywhere in Broomi, no card, bank or store details are collected, and nothing in Broomi has ever recorded a purchase. A household has Broomi+ only if we have given it, free, for a period we choose, and it goes back to free when that period ends. If we ever start charging we will say so before we do, in separate terms you can read and accept or refuse.
When you redeem, you spend only your own points. A reward set aside for one person can be redeemed only by that person, and that holds for an admin too. A redemption that needs a nod puts your points on hold until it is granted or refused, and the hold is released either way.
Proof photographs
A chore can ask for a photograph as proof. Uploading one is the most exposing thing you can do in Broomi, so read this before you do it.
When you upload a proof photograph:
- Everybody in the household can see it. Any member who has its identifier can get a link to it. That includes members who had nothing to do with the chore, and it includes child seats.
- The link will work for five minutes for anybody who holds it. Broomi serves a photograph as a signed link that lasts 300 seconds. That link is not tied to the person who asked for it. For those five minutes anybody holding the link can open the photograph, including somebody it was forwarded to outside the household. Do not share one.
- Location and camera data are removed. Broomi rebuilds the image from its pixels alone, so nothing from your phone's tags survives on the stored file: no GPS, no timestamps, no camera details. This happens on our server after your phone uploads, not on your phone, so the original file as your phone sent it, with whatever was in it, does exist in temporary storage until the cleaned copy is written. It is deleted then, and if the upload is never finished it is deleted within a day or two.
- Every photograph is measured automatically. Broomi decodes it, takes two hashes of it and works out eight perceptual fingerprints, and compares those fingerprints against photographs sent earlier in the same household. The person stamping is shown the result as a hint that a picture looks reused. Nothing is refused automatically on that basis.
- The measurements outlive the photograph. When a photograph is stamped or sent back, Broomi keeps those hashes and fingerprints, permanently, on the record of that stamp, after the image itself has been deleted. One of the two hashes is of the original file exactly as your phone sent it, before the location and camera data were stripped off. They cannot be turned back into the picture. You cannot see them, and they are not in your data download.
- Deleted does not mean instantly gone, and it depends on a job running. When a person stamps your chore, the photograph is held for two minutes so that an undo can give it back, and the actual deletion happens on a clean up pass that runs about every ten minutes. That scheduled job is the only thing that deletes a stored photograph. There is no storage rule behind it, and the job is created switched off, so in an environment where it is off or keeps failing a photograph stays until somebody restarts it. Two checks run nightly to report when that has happened, and reporting is all they do.
How long a photograph is kept:
- A photograph nothing ever used: 7 days from when the upload began.
- A photograph a chore keeps as its current proof: 7 days, or less if the chore's next run is confirmed or the chore is archived.
- A photograph on a chore nobody has stamped yet: as long as that wait lasts. In a managed household, where automatic approval is off, there is no limit on it.
- A house how to photograph nothing points at: 7 days. A house how to video nothing points at: one day.
- A house how to photograph or video that a chore or a Learn card does point at: kept for as long as that is true, which has no limit. These are not deleted when the person who uploaded them deletes their account.
Limits: a proof photograph must be a JPEG or a PNG and at most 5 MB. A house how to video must be an MP4, at most 24 MB and at most 45 seconds. A household can upload 50 items a day, counted from the household's own midnight, and a how to video counts as 5 of those 50. The allowance belongs to the household and not to each person, so one housemate can use all of it.
The Broomi app asks for your camera and deliberately does not ask for your photo library, so it takes a picture rather than reaching into the ones you already have.
What you must not photograph: anybody who has not agreed to be in a Broomi photograph, any part of a home that the people in your household should not see, anybody else's home, or any document, screen or object carrying somebody's personal or financial details. Photograph the clean worktop, not the room.
Nothing at Broomi tries to recognise what is in your photographs. There is no content scanning, no object or face recognition and no moderation service, and no other company processes the image content. No person at Broomi looks at a photograph as a matter of course, which is a statement about how we behave and not a technical limit: the person who runs Broomi holds the database and the storage, so nothing in Broomi stops the operator from looking. The rules in this agreement keep housemates and strangers out, not us.
Photographs are stored with Amazon Web Services, and they are not copied to any other region or any other service. Inside that storage, one household's files are kept apart from another's by the name of the file alone. There is no storage level rule that stops one household's path being read from another's. What keeps them apart is Broomi's own server, which is the only thing that can mint a link.
Your content, and who owns what
Everything you put into Broomi is yours: your display name, your seat name, your chore and room names, your notes and reasons, your rewards, your how to cards and your photographs. We do not claim ownership of any of it.
You give us permission to store it, process it, and show it to the people in your household, for the purpose of running Broomi for you. That permission ends when the content is deleted, with one exception described above: the hashes and fingerprints of a proof photograph stay on the record of the stamp after the photograph itself is gone. It covers nothing else.
We do not sell your content. We do not use it for advertising. We do not use it to train any machine learning model, and we do not give it to anybody else to train theirs.
Content that belongs to a household is shared with that household, and it does not leave when you do. See "Deleting your account" below for exactly what stays.
You are responsible for having the right to put content into Broomi, including the right to photograph the place you are photographing and anybody in it.
Artificial intelligence
Broomi's server does not send anything you write, say or photograph to Anthropic or to any other artificial intelligence provider. There are no AI features in the Broomi app, and the way Broomi is deployed will not let the server hold an AI provider's key at all.
Two earlier prototype builds of Broomi are a different matter, and both still do this. One runs in a web browser and one is a phone build. Neither is the Broomi app this agreement is about. If you paste an AI provider's key into either of them, that key is kept in plain text in that build's own storage, and the build sends chore names, your setup answers and, in one of the three places it does this, a photograph of the inside of your home, straight from your device to that provider. It goes under your key, on that provider's terms and billed to whoever pasted the key. It does not go through us and we never see it. Do not paste a key into either one.
Acceptable use
Use Broomi for running a household. Do not do any of the following.
- Break the law, or use Broomi to harm, harass, threaten, bully, shame or frighten anybody, including the people in your own household.
- Upload anything sexual, violent, hateful or abusive, or anything involving a child that a parent would not want in a household chores app.
- Put another person's personal details into Broomi without their agreement, or photograph somebody who has not agreed to it.
- Use a name, on your profile, on a seat, on a household or on a chore, that impersonates somebody else or that is abusive. Names you choose can appear in email sent to other people.
- Join, or try to join, a household you were not invited to, or guess invite codes.
- Share a signed photograph link outside the household, or hand your account to anybody else.
- Try to reach data belonging to another household or another account, test our defences, or get around a rule, a rate limit or an upload allowance.
- Cheat the points: resubmitting a photograph you already used, stamping work that was not done, or using somebody else's session to stamp your own work.
- Run an automated client, scrape Broomi, or load it in a way designed to degrade it.
- Copy, resell, rent out or reverse engineer Broomi, or take any part of it out.
- Ask to change your email address to a mailbox that is not yours.
If something you see in Broomi worries you, especially about a child, write to support@broomi.app.
Ending it
You can leave at any time
You can leave a household by removing your own seat. Remember that leaving does not take your name off the seat.
Deleting your account needs your current password, and before anything happens Broomi can show you a summary of exactly what will go. There is no screen for either in the app yet. Until there is, write to support@broomi.app, and we will send you that summary and then run the deletion when you confirm.
We can end it too
We can stop providing Broomi, to everybody or to you, and we can refuse or end your access, if you break these Terms, if we have to in order to protect somebody, or if we stop running Broomi at all. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you first by email at the address on your account.
Broomi has no way to freeze or suspend an account today, and no built way for us to delete somebody else's account either: the deletion route runs on the account holder's own password, and the older route that took an account's identifier has been taken away from the part of the system that serves the app. Acting against one account would mean working directly in the database. We will not do that over something small.
Deleting your account
Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. There is no grace period, no recycle bin, and no way for us to put it back. Read this before you ask for it.
What happens:
- Your account record is deleted outright, along with every session, which is what signs you out everywhere, and every email link we had issued to you.
- Every internet address Broomi held about you goes with it. The addresses on your acceptances of these Terms, on your 13 or over answer and on every consent decision are all destroyed, because they hang off the account record. A session record no longer holds one at all.
- The record that you ever accepted these Terms is deleted with it, along with the record of what you consented to and your answer to the 13 or over question. After an erasure, neither you nor we can show what you agreed to, or when.
- Any household in which nobody else can sign in is deleted entirely, with its rooms, chores, runs, ledger, rewards, redemptions, media and invite code. A child seat with no login does not keep a household alive, so a household of you and your children goes when you go.
- In every other household your history stays and your name is taken off it. Your seat is kept, renamed to the words "Former housemate". Every point you earned, every chore you marked, every stamp you gave or received, every reward you redeemed, every reward you created and every photograph you uploaded stays in that household, attached to that renamed seat. This reaches every household you ever held a seat in, including one you left years ago, which until that moment still carried your real name.
- This is not true anonymity and we will not call it that. Anybody in the household who remembers who left can work out which seat was yours from the dates and the history beside it.
- Photographs you uploaded to a household that survives are not deleted by your deletion. They go when their own retention clock runs out, and a how to photograph or video has no clock while a chore or a Learn card points at it.
- The hashes and fingerprints of your photographs stay on the records of the stamps they were part of.
- If a household was managed and you were its last admin, Broomi makes somebody else an admin automatically, without asking them.
- Deleted rows stay in our database backups until those backups expire on their own schedule, which in the environment running today is 7 days. We cannot reach into a backup to remove one account.
- We email a receipt to the address the account held, naming the households that were deleted with it.
Nothing about a payment is kept, because no payment has ever been made. If a paid tier is ever built, these Terms will say what happens to a receipt.
Disclaimers
Broomi is provided as it is and as it is available, with no warranty of any kind. We do not promise that it will work, that it will be available, that it will be free of faults, that your data will survive, that an email will arrive, or that it is fit for any particular purpose.
Broomi is a chore board. It is not a safety, security, care, supervision, employment, payroll or financial system, and nothing in it should be relied on as one. A photograph in Broomi is not proof of anything to anybody outside your household, and we do not verify that any chore was actually done.
We are not a party to anything the people in a household agree between themselves, including allowances, rewards, pocket money, chore obligations, or any dispute about who did what.
Limits on what we owe you
This version does not cap or exclude what Broomi owes you, and that is deliberate rather than generous. A limit on liability has to be set by a lawyer and has not been set yet. Until it is, nothing in these Terms limits anything, and only the law itself does.
What that means in practice is less than it sounds, and you should know why. Broomi is before launch, it takes no money, and the section above says plainly that it may lose your data. Please do not rely on it for anything that matters. It is a chore board.
Changes to these Terms
We will change these Terms as Broomi grows. We publish each version with a date and a version line, like the ones at the top of this document.
How you are told depends on the change:
- A material change asks you again. The next time you sign in, Broomi stops and shows you the updated document, and no session opens until you accept it. Your acceptance is recorded with the version you read, the time, and the internet address you accepted from.
- A small correction does not ask you. A typo fix or a clarification is published and dated, and is not put in front of you again.
If you do not want to accept a material change, do not accept it, and stop using Broomi. Ask us at support@broomi.app for a copy of your data first, because declining leaves you at the sign in screen, and in any case there is no download screen in the app today.
Disputes, and the law that applies
These Terms name no governing law, no court, and no arbitration, and they contain no class action waiver and no jury trial waiver. That is deliberate too. Choosing any of those badly is worse than not choosing, and none of them has been chosen yet.
So you keep every right you would otherwise have, wherever you are, including the right to bring a claim in your own courts.
If something goes wrong, please write to support@broomi.app first. It reaches one person and he will answer.
The rest of the small print
- These Terms, and the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about Broomi.
- If any part of these Terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.
- If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given it up.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms to anybody else. We may transfer ours if Broomi changes hands, and we will tell you if that happens.
- These Terms give nobody other than you and us any right to enforce them.
- Headings are there to help you read, and do not change the meaning.
How to reach us
Write to support@broomi.app. That is the address for a question, a complaint, a security report, a request about your data, or anything about these Terms. We do not publish a postal address.
Automated Broomi email comes from no-reply@broomi.app. Nobody reads replies sent there, so please write to support@broomi.app instead, even when a message tells you to reply to it.
