2. MEMBERSHIP AND SUBSCRIPTIONS
2.1. Becoming a Member
To access and use the Services, you must register for an account (“Account”) and become a Member. If you are under the age of 18, you must be invited to join as a Dependent Member by a Primary Member who is responsible for your account, and controls the permissions and settings for your account. By registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information as prompted by the registration process, and to keep that information up to date.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your Account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account or any breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your Account.
By downloading our application, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use it on your Device, solely in connection with the Services for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.
2.2. Eligibility
If you are under the age of 18, you may only use the Services with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian (“Guardian”), who agrees to these Terms on your behalf, and you are only eligible for a Dependent Member account. By registering an Account for a minor, the Guardian represents and warrants that they have read and agree to these Terms and accept full responsibility for the minor’s use of the Services, and that they have appropriate legal authority to do so.
Further, the Guardian who initiates the invitation to any user under 18 may only initiate an invitation to a person under 18 years of age if (i) the invitation is sent to join a Care Circle the inviting Guardian controls, (ii) the Guardian agrees to the data handling practices in our Privacy Policy with respect to data gathered and handled by the Services, and (iii) the Guardian has read and understands the COPPA Privacy Policy.
2.3. Care Circle Access
The Services include a “Care Circle” feature that allows a Primary Member to invite trusted individuals to access certain features of their Account in order to provide support. The following terms govern Care Circle access:
(a) Authorization. A Primary Member is solely responsible for selecting and authorizing the individuals in their Care Circle. A Primary Member may invite Care Circle Members through the Account settings at any time.
(b) Scope of Access. The Primary Member is responsible for setting the appropriate access for all Care Circle Members. Care Circle Members with standard access may view your task lists and reminders and may create or modify tasks and reminders on your behalf. Care Circle Members do not have access to a Primary Member’s Account credentials, billing information, or any account features beyond those that are explicitly authorized. Each Care Circle Member agrees to use their access solely to support the member for whom the Care Circle has been established, and not to share, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use that member’s information for any unauthorized purpose.
(c) External User Obligations. By accepting a Care Circle invitation and accessing any part of the Services, an External User agrees to be bound by these Terms.
(d) Revocation. A Primary Member may revoke a Care Circle Member’s access to the Care Circle at any time through your Account settings. Bonsai360 is not responsible for any actions taken by a Care Circle Member prior to the effective revocation of their access.
(e) Primary Member Responsibility. Each Primary Member is responsible for the individuals they invite to a Care Circle. Bonsai360 is not liable for any misuse of your Account information by Care Circle Members.
(f) Impact of Account Suspension or Termination. If your Account is suspended or terminated for any reason, including nonpayment, Care Circle Members’ access to your Account (including any Care Circle established by you) will also be suspended or terminated at the same time.
2.4. Subscriptions
2.4.1. Subscription Tiers
During the sign-up process to become a Member, you will choose a subscription tier from the available tiers and entitlements shown on the website. You can see the pricing and entitlements of your selected tier at any time in your Account, and you can change to another tier or cancel your subscription at any time. Changing to a different tier may require payment of an additional amount.
All prices, features, promotional discounts, limited-time offers and subscription tiers are subject to change at our sole discretion. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any material changes to pricing or subscription features.
2.4.2. Maintaining a Paid Subscription
Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis and processed through the App Store through which you originally subscribed. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel it before the renewal date.
NOTICE REGARDING AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED AT THE END OF EACH BILLING PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE. YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME THROUGH THE APP STORE WHERE YOU ORIGINALLY SUBSCRIBED. REFUNDS CANNOT BE CLAIMED FOR ANY PARTIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
You may update your payment method through the applicable App Store at any time.
2.4.3. Payment Failures, Service Throttling, and Suspension
If we are unable to process payment for your subscription on the applicable renewal date, we will attempt to notify you by email or in-app notification. The following consequences apply in the event of nonpayment:
-
After 3 days of nonpayment: We reserve the right to throttle your access to certain paid features of the Services, reducing functionality to the Free Tier level.
-
After 7 days of nonpayment: Your paid Subscription may be suspended. You will retain access only to features available under the Free Tier, if applicable.
-
After 30 days of suspension due to nonpayment: We reserve the right to terminate your Account. We will provide notice before termination where practicable.
Care Circle Members’ access will also be suspended or terminated upon suspension or termination of your Account. Reactivation of a suspended Account may require payment of all outstanding amounts. Bonsai360 is not responsible for any loss of data, preferences, or progress during a period of suspension.
2.4.4. Refunds
All subscription fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds for partial subscription periods, unused features, or any other reason, except where required by applicable law. If you cancel your Subscription, you will retain access to the paid tier through the end of the then-current billing period.
3. CANCELLATION OF SERVICES
3.1. Cancellation by You
You may cancel your Account at any time by deleting your Account in the app. Account deletion is irreversible: once you delete your Account, all data associated with your use of the Services will be permanently removed. This includes the data associated with any Dependent Member on your Account, and any Care Circles or External Users associated with your Care Circles. If you have an active Subscription at the time of Account deletion, cancellation of that Subscription is effective at the end of the then-current billing period.
You may also cancel your Subscription and downgrade to the Free Tier without deleting your Account. The downgrade will take effect at the end of the current billing period.
If you subscribed through an App Store, you may also cancel by disabling automatic renewal through that App Store’s account management settings. Please follow the process outlined by the applicable App Store or Device operating system provider.

10.2. Disclaimer of Warranties
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
11.1. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Bonsai360, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Bonsai360 are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
11.2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND BONSAI360 AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BONSAI360 AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
11.3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Bonsai360 is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly by emailing customer support at support@bonsai360.com. If such efforts are unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other party, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Bonsai360 should be sent to 4915 Atlanta Hwy #176, Flowery Branch, GA, 30542 (the “Notice Address”). The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Bonsai360 and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding. During arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either party shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which either party is entitled.
11.4. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit http://www.adr.org. If there is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that applying the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement.
Unless Bonsai360 and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties cannot agree on a location, the determination shall be made by the AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
11.5. Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, Bonsai360 will pay all Arbitration Fees upon your request. If the value of relief sought exceeds $75,000 and you can demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, or if the arbitrator otherwise determines that you should not be required to pay, Bonsai360 will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive compared to the costs of litigation, Bonsai360 will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.
11.6. Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
11.7. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 11.2 titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term with one that is valid, enforceable, and closest to expressing the intention of the original term. This Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any provision of Section 11.2 is invalid or unenforceable, the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue to apply.
11.8. Future Changes to the Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, if Bonsai360 makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending written notice to Bonsai360 within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address. By rejecting any future change, you agree to arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms.
