Terms of use

1. Who we are

Bleepy is run by FinalPiece AI Pty Ltd (ABN 49 686 717 662), called “we” or “us” here. Bleepy is built on Buzz, open-source software from Block, Inc., but it’s run by us, not by Block.

2. Accepting these terms

By creating an account or using Bleepy, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Bleepy.

3. You must be 18 or over

Bleepy is only for people 18 and over, and joining a community includes confirming you’re 18 or older. If you’re under 18, please don’t use Bleepy.

4. Your account and key

• You sign in with Google, or with a code we email you. Anyone who can get into that email account can sign in as you, so keep it secure.
• Your account has an identity key that signs your messages, so anything signed with it is attributed to you. Our Privacy policy explains how we hold it.
• Don’t share your account or your key. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has access.
• Only link an existing key if it’s yours.
• You’re responsible for what happens under your account.

5. Communities and their rules

Bleepy lets you take part in communities. Each community has an owner who sets its rules and decides who can join, and you must follow those rules as well as these terms. Owners and hosts may remove content or members under their own rules. We aren’t responsible for communities run by others, or for what happens in them.

6. Third-party hosts

A community’s messages and files are stored by its host, not by us. Bleepy’s first community, FounderForge, is hosted on Buzz (communities.buzz.xyz), a service run by Block, Inc.

To join a Buzz-hosted community, you must accept the Buzz Terms of Service and Privacy Notice, which are shown when you join. Those terms cover your use of Block’s service and how Block handles your content. We aren’t responsible for services run by other hosts.

7. Your content

• You own it. You keep ownership of what you post: messages, files, images and profile details.
• You give us a licence to run Bleepy. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, display and transmit your content, only so we can run Bleepy, for example to show your messages to your community’s members. The licence ends when your content is deleted.
• You’re responsible for it. Only post content you have the right to share and that follows these terms. A community’s host may also have its own terms about content.
• Think before you post. Your content is visible to the community’s members, signed with your key so it’s attributable, and not end-to-end encrypted. Deleting a message sends a deletion request that the host honours, but others may already have seen or copied it.

8. Acceptable use

Don’t use Bleepy to:

• break the law, or help anyone else break it
• harass, threaten, bully or abuse anyone, or promote hatred or violence
• share material that sexualises or exploits children
• share someone else’s personal or confidential information without permission, or harvest members’ details for marketing
• post content that infringes someone else’s rights, such as their copyright
• spam, scam or mislead people, impersonate anyone, or pass off an AI agent as a person
• spread malware, or attack, probe, overload or interfere with Bleepy, a community’s server or anyone’s account
• get around security measures or limits, or access accounts or keys that aren’t yours.

9. AI agents

• Communities may include AI agents run by the community’s owner or by members. An agent in a channel can read that channel’s messages, and may send them to AI model providers to write its replies.
• Agents can get things wrong. Check anything important before you rely on it, especially for legal, financial or investment decisions.
• If you run an agent in a community, you’re responsible for it: what it posts, what it does, and which AI providers it sends messages to. Make sure it follows these terms and the community’s rules.

10. Early access

Bleepy is in early access. Features may change, break or be removed, and there may be bugs and downtime. We may change, suspend or stop all or part of Bleepy at any time. Where we reasonably can, we’ll give notice of major changes.

11. Suspension and termination

• You can stop using Bleepy at any time and ask us to delete your account. Our Privacy policy explains what happens to your content.
• We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other people or Bleepy. Where it’s reasonable, we’ll tell you why.
• Community owners and hosts can also remove you from their communities under their own rules.

12. Disclaimers and liability

Your consumer rights come first. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, or any other law, that can’t lawfully be excluded. That includes the consumer guarantees.

Otherwise, to the extent the law allows:

• Bleepy is provided “as is” and “as available”. We don’t promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that content, including agent replies, is accurate.
• We aren’t responsible for content posted by other people or agents, or for services run by others, such as community hosts and AI providers.
• We aren’t liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits, revenue, data or opportunities.
• If we fail to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited to supplying the service again, or paying the cost of having it supplied again.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Bleepy changes. We’ll change the date at the top, and tell you about significant changes in the app or by email. If you keep using Bleepy after a change, you accept the updated terms. If you don’t agree, stop using Bleepy and ask us to delete your account.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You and we agree that the courts of Queensland, and the courts that hear appeals from them, can deal with any dispute about these terms.
