Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using theBouquet, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service.

2. Description of Service

theBouquet is a free web application that allows anyone to create personalized digital bouquets with heartfelt messages and share them with others via unique links or downloadable QR codes. No account or registration is required.

Those who buy us a coffee via Ko-fi become recognized as supporters and receive a unique unlock link as a thank-you gesture, which grants access to exclusive assets. Supporter access lasts for 3 months from activation. Legacy supporters who unlocked access prior to April 9, 2026, retain permanent access. Offering resource-intensive features—such as voice messages, email delivery, and custom image uploads—as exclusive rewards helps us prevent spam abuse and ensures the financial sustainability of the platform.

To ensure fair access for all visitors, bouquet creation is subject to a daily limit per visitor. Free visitors may create up to 5 bouquets per day. Supporters receive a higher limit of 30 bouquets per day as a thank-you for helping sustain the service.

3. User Content & Custom Uploads

You retain ownership of the bouquets and messages you create. By making a bouquet public, you grant theBouquet a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display it in the Showcase gallery and use it for any marketing and promotional purposes related to the service.

You are solely responsible for the images, text, and content you upload and attach to bouquets on this service. By uploading an image, you confirm that you own the rights to use that image and that it does not violate copyright laws. theBouquet utilizes automated moderation tools to scan uploads, but does not assume liability for user-generated content embedded in bouquets. theBouquet reserves the right to remove any bouquet or block any upload at its sole discretion without notice.

You agree not to create content that:

• Is illegal, harmful, or offensive.
• Infringes on the intellectual property rights of others.
• Contains spam, malware, or phishing attempts.
• Impersonates another person or entity.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose or to violate any laws.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or its systems.
• Interfere with or disrupt the service or servers connected to it.
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to create bouquets or access the service without permission.
• Attempt to generate, forge, or systematically abuse supporter unlock tokens without buying us a coffee.
• Attempt to circumvent daily bouquet limits, including by masking, rotating, or spoofing your IP address to exceed the allowed daily quota.

5. Email Delivery and Voice Message Features

theBouquet provides optional features that allow supporters to send bouquet notification emails and attach voice messages. By using these features, you agree to the following:

• You are responsible for ensuring that the recipient’s email address you provide is correct and that you have a legitimate, good-faith reason to contact them.
• You must not use this feature to send unsolicited, harassing, or unwanted emails to any person.
• You are responsible for the legality and appropriateness of voice recordings you upload, including obtaining consent where required by applicable laws.
• Voice messages must not contain illegal, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or rights-infringing content.
• Recipient email addresses are used solely to deliver the bouquet notification and are not stored, retained, or used for any other purpose.
• Voice message files are stored to provide playback through the bouquet link. Technical limits (such as duration and file size) may be enforced for platform safety and reliability.
• Voice message duration is currently limited to around 1 minute and may change as the product evolves.
• Rate limiting is enforced to prevent abuse. Attempts to circumvent these limits are a violation of these terms.
• theBouquet sends emails on your behalf as a technical intermediary. You, as the sender, bear full responsibility for the content and intent of any message delivered through this feature.

6. Anonymous Use

theBouquet does not require account registration, and you may create and send bouquets anonymously or under a chosen display name. However, anonymous use does not exempt you from these Terms of Service or from applicable laws.

• You remain fully responsible for all content created and all emails sent during your session, regardless of whether you identify yourself.
• You must not use anonymity to harass, threaten, or impersonate any individual or entity.
• theBouquet reserves the right to restrict or block access to the email delivery feature or any other part of the service in response to suspected abuse, without prior notice.

7. Content Deletion & Retention

To maintain server sustainability, theBouquet enforces a 30-day retention limit on digital bouquets created by non-supporters. Free bouquets expire after 30 days. Once expired, the bouquet image is removed, but the letter/message stays accessible through the original link unless you request deletion.

Supporter bouquets have no fixed expiration date. As long as theBouquet remains operational and financially sustainable — which your support directly helps ensure — supporter bouquets will remain accessible, giving your loved ones a lasting keepsake. This is not a perpetual guarantee; if platform conditions ever require a change, we will provide advance notice before any expiration policy applies to existing supporter bouquets.

theBouquet reserves the right to remove any bouquet or content that violates these terms at any time without notice. You may also request removal of your own bouquet by contacting support.

8. Service Availability

theBouquet is provided “as is” and “as available.” There is no guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. theBouquet reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time without notice.

9. Coffee Treats and Supporter Perks

Buying us a coffee through Ko-fi is a voluntary way to support the development and hosting of the platform. Perks are exclusive digital rewards unlocked as a thank-you for your coffee treat. Supporter access lasts for 3 months. Legacy supporters who unlocked access prior to April 9, 2026, retain permanent access. Contributions are non-refundable, as they go toward immediate hosting and infrastructure costs.

Philippine supporters may alternatively pay via InstaPay QR and submit their receipt via email or Instagram DM. The same supporter perks, 3-month access duration, and non-refundable policy apply. Manual verification may take up to 24 hours. theBouquet reserves the right to decline unlock requests for unverifiable or fraudulent receipts.
