This is the licence to use the CubeBloom software itself. The commercial side — prices, renewals, cancelling, refunds — lives in the Terms of Service, and what we do with your data is in the Privacy Policy. The parts most people actually need are what you're allowed to do and who owns your solves.
Before this goes liveThis is a drafted starting point, not legal advice. Every highlighted field below needs your real details, and the document should be reviewed by an Australian lawyer before you take a single payment.
By using CubeBloom you accept this agreement. If you don't accept it, don't use the software. If you're under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission — the same rule as the Terms of Service.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use CubeBloom for your own speedcubing practice, for as long as your account is in good standing and you keep to this agreement. A paid plan widens what the software will do for you; it does not widen this licence.
You may use CubeBloom on as many of your own devices as you like. A single account is for a single person — a club, school or team needs one account per cuber unless we've agreed something else in writing.
We own the CubeBloom software, its design, the CubeBloom name and logo, and the curated algorithm library, drill plans and written training material we ship with it. Nothing in this agreement transfers any of that to you.
Individual cubing algorithms are moves — the community's shared knowledge, and not something anyone owns. What we claim is the particular selection, arrangement, annotation and teaching material we've built around them, which is our work.
Your solves are yours. Your times, splits, sessions, profile, notes, and any file you upload remain your property. We don't claim ownership of them and we don't sell them.
You give us a limited licence to store and process that data for one purpose: running CubeBloom for you. That means saving your solves, computing your averages and splits, syncing them between your devices, and including the relevant parts in the brief we send to the AI coach when you ask it a question. Nothing more. You can export everything, or delete your account and take it all with you, from Settings.
Files you upload for analysis are handled separately and deliberately: they're processed and deleted immediately, and never kept. See the Privacy Policy.
CubeBloom's coach sends a brief about your practice — times, splits, which cases you've drilled, and whatever you type — to a third-party AI model provider, which returns written advice.
What the coach writes back is yours to use. We claim no ownership of the advice, drill plans or explanations it produces for you.
Two honest caveats. First, AI output can be wrong: it can misread your data, invent an algorithm that doesn't solve the case, or give advice that doesn't suit your method. Check anything before you drill it into muscle memory. Second, the same question can produce similar answers for different people, so we can't promise the text you receive is unique to you, and you shouldn't treat it as something you can claim exclusive rights over.
The coach has a daily call limit and a conversation length limit, both set by your plan. Those limits are part of what you're buying, and we may adjust them — we'll tell you before we reduce anything you're paying for.
CubeBloom is built on open-source software, and connects to services we don't control — our hosting, database, payment processor and AI model provider. Open-source components stay under their own licences, which prevail over this agreement for those components. We're responsible for choosing these providers carefully; we can't be responsible for their outages.
CubeBloom is a web app, so you always run the current version and updates happen without you installing anything. We may add, change or remove features. If we remove or materially reduce something you're paying for, the Terms of Service and the Refunds page set out what you're entitled to.
We may update this agreement. If a change materially affects your rights, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect, and continuing to use CubeBloom after that is how you accept it.
You can end it any time by closing your account. We can suspend or end it if you breach this agreement — for serious breaches immediately, and otherwise after we've told you what the problem is and given you a fair chance to fix it.
When the licence ends, stop using the software. Your right to export your own data survives for a reasonable period so you can take it with you, and anything you've already paid for is dealt with under the Refunds and Consumer Guarantees page.
Apart from the guarantees described below, and to the extent the law allows, CubeBloom is provided as-is. We don't warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that phase splits estimated from video or camera capture will be accurate, or that using it will make you faster.
Your rights under the Australian Consumer LawNothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, and nothing here operates to exclude liability we cannot lawfully exclude. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Full detail is on the Refunds and Consumer Guarantees page.
Where we are permitted to limit our liability, and to the extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of this agreement is limited to resupplying the service or paying the cost of having it resupplied — and in any case to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost data where you had a reasonable opportunity to export a backup.
This agreement is governed by the law of [State/Territory], Australia, and the courts of that place have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing here prevents you from bringing a complaint to a consumer protection body where you live.
