Bonsai

Terms of Service

Last updated: June 20, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Bonsai application and related services (the "Service"), provided by Bonsai ("Bonsai," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent, guardian, or school that agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Your account

You are responsible for the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at zwallace500@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized use. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you create or submit (such as messages, notes, drawings, and uploads). You grant us a limited license to process and store that content solely to operate and improve the Service for you. You are responsible for the content you submit and confirm you have the rights to share it.

5. AI-generated content & educational disclaimer

Bonsai is a learning tool. AI-generated responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, and should not be relied upon as professional, academic, medical, legal, or financial advice. Always verify important information independently. You are responsible for how you use AI output, including ensuring it complies with your school's or institution's academic-integrity rules.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, branding, and software, is owned by Bonsai and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks or branding except as needed to use the Service normally.

7. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (such as Supabase, Google, Scaleway, Open-Meteo, BigDataCloud, and jsDelivr). Your use of those features may also be subject to the providers' own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

8. AI models & open-model licenses (Gemma)

Bonsai's AI features are powered by Gemma, Google's family of open models, served through Scaleway Generative APIs.

Gemma is provided under and subject to the Gemma Terms of Use found at ai.google.dev/gemma/terms. Those terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference, and a copy is available at that link.

Your use of Bonsai's AI features must comply with the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy (ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy), which restricts certain uses of the model. By using these features, you agree to those terms and use restrictions.

9. Service availability & changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, and we may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and may notify you through the Service. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as disclaimers and limitations of liability) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bonsai and its providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of the Service. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bonsai from claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be subject to the courts located there, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
