Legal
Welcome to Bixi. These Terms are an agreement between you and Bixi ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Bixi.
Bixi is a mobile app where two people ("co-parents") raise a shared virtual pet together — caring for it daily, keeping a streak, and leaving each other short notes. Features may change over time.
When you pair with a co-parent, you share your pet's progress and can send each other notes. Anything you write in a note is visible to your co-parent. Joining or leaving a pair changes what's shared — leaving means you stop co-parenting that pet.
Bixi coins are a virtual, in-app currency used to send gifts to your co-parent. Coins are shared within your pair — either co-parent can spend from the same balance. Coins have no monetary value, are not transferable or redeemable for cash, and are non-refundable except where required by law.
Billing & auto-renewal. All purchases are processed by Apple and charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. A membership automatically renews at the then-current monthly price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before each period ends. You can view, manage, or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals — the current period continues until it ends.
Refunds. Purchases are non-refundable except where required by law, and refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple. Deleting your account or leaving a pair does not refund coins, and any remaining coins are forfeited.
Price changes. We may change prices or the amount of coins included in a pack or membership. For a subscription, we'll give notice and, where required, obtain your consent before a price increase takes effect.
You are responsible for the content you create (such as notes). You agree not to use Bixi to post or send content that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, hateful, threatening, or otherwise objectionable, and not to misuse or attempt to break the service.
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior. You can stop receiving another person's content at any time by leaving the pair. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, and where appropriate act on reports within 24 hours.
You can stop using Bixi and delete your account and data at any time in You → Privacy & data → Delete account & data. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or misuse the service.
Bixi is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the app will always be available, error-free, or that data will never be lost. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
We may update these Terms; we'll post the new version here and update the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
If you downloaded Bixi from the Apple App Store, these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them.
