Terms

Effective Date: July 6, 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Bīj app, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by Bij Life Inc. ("Bīj," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using Bīj, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Company Information

Bīj is operated by Bij Life Inc., a corporation federally incorporated in Canada.

Contact: info@bijapp.ca

2. Wellness Disclaimer

Bīj is a wellness, contemplative practice, and mindfulness app. It is not a medical service, mental health service, or substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions about a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or experienced in Bīj.

If you are in crisis or need emergency assistance, contact your local emergency services immediately.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.

You agree to:

• provide accurate and truthful information when creating your account;

• be at least 13 years of age, or use Bīj with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian;

• not impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;

• not use Bīj for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose.

4. Journal Privacy

Your journal entries, reflections, and private notes are personal to your account. Bīj does not sell, rent, trade, or use your journal content for third-party advertising. Bīj does not display your journal entries to other users.

Limited internal access to journal data may occur only as needed to operate, sync, back up, or restore the Services, provide support at your request, investigate security issues, or comply with legal obligations.

5. Practice Data and Statistics

Bīj may collect and display your personal practice statistics, including meditation time, breath practice time, listening practice time, completed sessions, and practice history.

This information is used to show your private practice history and to calculate qualifying practice time toward Bīj's tree-planting initiative. Your individual journal entries are not used for these calculations.

Bīj may also generate aggregated or de-identified collective totals (such as collective practice hours or trees rooted). This data is not intended to identify you personally.

6. Tree-Planting Initiative

Bīj's tree-planting initiative is intended to translate practice commitment into real-world ecological impact. Qualifying practice hours may contribute toward trees being planted through Bīj's planting partners.

Bīj will make reasonable efforts to ensure trees are planted and verified, but the timing, location, and verification of plantings may vary. Tree counts displayed in the app represent contributions funded, planted, or verified, as indicated.

7. Timeless Teachings

Bīj may include teachings, sutras, poems, and wisdom texts that are in the public domain or used under appropriate permissions. These timeless teachings are offered for reflection and contemplation.

Bīj does not claim ownership of public domain texts. Editorial commentary, translations, or arrangements created by Bīj remain the property of Bij Life Inc. unless otherwise stated.

8. Intellectual Property

The Bīj app, its design, original content, audio, visuals, and software are the intellectual property of Bij Life Inc., protected by applicable Canadian and international laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from Bīj's original content without prior written consent, except as permitted by law.

9. Subscriptions and Payments

If Bīj introduces paid subscriptions, purchases, or premium features in the future, the terms of those subscriptions (including pricing, billing, renewal, and cancellation) will be disclosed before any purchase is completed.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Bīj should not store full credit card numbers directly unless a compliant payment provider is used. Refund policies will comply with applicable consumer protection laws.

10. Limitation of Liability

Bīj is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bij Life Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, practice history, or journal content, arising from your use of or inability to use the Services.

Bīj does not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Bīj shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, Canada.

12. Changes to These Terms

Bīj may update these Terms from time to time. If material changes are made, notice will be provided in the app, by email, or by another reasonable method. Your continued use of Bīj after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
