Cohort — Terms of Service
Effective date: June 30, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Bodhi Technologies, Inc. (“Cohort,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of the Cohort application and related services (the “Service”). Please read them carefully.
These Terms include a mandatory individual-arbitration provision, a jury-trial waiver, and a class-action waiver (Section 16) that affect your legal rights, and a limitation of liability (Section 13). You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days (Section 16).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance
By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract under applicable law. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements. The Service is not intended for anyone under 18.
3. Your account
You are responsible for your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us promptly at emercenari@joinbuo.com of any unauthorized use. You may sign in using Apple Sign In or email. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.
4. License to use the Service
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service for your own personal relationship-management purposes, subject to these Terms. We retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, design, content we provide, and trademarks. No rights are granted to you except as expressly set out here.
5. Your content
You own the content you put into Cohort — the contacts, notes, interactions, and other information you enter (“Your Content”). You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you, including sending relevant context to our AI provider when you request a draft (see Section 7 and the Privacy Policy). This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for backups cycled out in the ordinary course and anything we must retain by law.
You represent and warrant that you have the right to enter the information you add about other people, and that doing so does not violate any law or any other person’s rights (including privacy and publicity rights).
6. Prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful, harassing, abusive, defamatory, or deceptive purpose;
- Upload content that is illegal, infringing, or that you have no right to use;
- Attempt to access other users’ data, probe or breach security, or circumvent rate limits or access controls;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or build a competing product from the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited bulk messages, or in violation of any anti-spam, telemarketing, or messaging law;
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.
7. AI features and disclaimer
Cohort uses third-party AI (currently OpenAI) to generate suggested message drafts. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inappropriate. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to send any message. We do not guarantee the accuracy, quality, or suitability of any AI-generated content, and you assume all responsibility and risk for content you choose to send. AI drafts are not legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice.
You are responsible for your communications. When you send a message (whether or not AI-assisted), you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws, including anti-spam and communications laws such as the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and for having any consent those laws require.
8. Copyright and DMCA
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to emercenari@joinbuo.com (subject line: “DMCA Notice”). We may remove allegedly infringing content and terminate repeat infringers. [confirm: if you expect user-to-user sharing or any public content, register a DMCA designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office at dmca.copyright.gov. Today Cohort content is private to each user, which reduces but does not eliminate this obligation.]
9. Subscriptions and payments
Some features may require a paid subscription, offered through the in-app paywall and sold and billed by Apple via the App Store / in-app purchase. We do not process or store your payment-card details.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. The price, billing period, and any free-trial length are disclosed at the point of purchase, on the same screen as the subscribe button, before you confirm.
- How to cancel. You can cancel anytime, without penalty, in App Store → your Apple ID → Subscriptions (or iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
- Free trials. If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
- Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple’s refund policies; we generally cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases directly.
10. Apple App Store terms
The following apply when you obtain the app through Apple’s App Store. You and we acknowledge that:
- These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, not Apple’s.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app, including product-liability, regulatory, or intellectual-property claims.
- Your license to use the app is limited to use on an Apple-branded device that you own or control and as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated a “terrorist supporting” country, and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
11. Service availability
The Service is provided on an “as available” basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we are not liable for any unavailability.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your data at any time from Settings → Privacy & data → Delete all data. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially violate these Terms or if reasonably necessary to protect the Service, us, or other users. On termination, your license ends and you must stop using the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination survive, including Sections 5, 7, 8, 11, 13–18, and 20.
13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COHORT AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (for example, liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or, where applicable, death or personal injury caused by negligence). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cohort and its officers, employees, and suppliers from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) your violation of any third party’s rights. This does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own breach of these Terms, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. We will notify you of the claim, may participate in the defense with our own counsel, and you will not settle any claim in a way that imposes obligations on us without our prior written consent.
15. Informal dispute resolution first
Before starting an arbitration, you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Send a written notice of dispute to emercenari@joinbuo.com (or, for us to you, to your account email) describing the dispute and the relief requested. This requirement does not apply to a request for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or security.
16. Binding arbitration; jury-trial and class-action waiver
PLEASE READ — THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
This Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).
Agreement to arbitrate. Except as stated below, you and Cohort agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and not in court. You and we waive the right to a trial by jury.
Small-claims exception. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies and stays in that court.
Delegation. The arbitrator, and not any court, has the exclusive authority to resolve all threshold questions, including the arbitrability, scope, interpretation, formation, unconscionability, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement — except that a court decides any dispute about the class-action waiver below.
Rules and forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at adr.org), as modified by these Terms. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any in-person hearing will take place in the county of your residence or another mutually agreed location; the arbitration may also be conducted by telephone, video, or written submissions.
Class-action waiver. YOU AND COHORT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s claims, except as provided in the batch-arbitration provision below.
Batch arbitration. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are submitted by or with the coordination of the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be administered in batches of up to 50, with a single filing fee per batch and one arbitrator per batch, to promote efficiency. This provision does not waive any party’s rights other than as stated.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 16 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing emercenari@joinbuo.com with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
Severability / poison pill. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request will proceed in court (and the arbitration agreement will not apply to it), while all other claims will still be arbitrated. If any other part of this Section is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
17. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that Section 16 is governed by the FAA. [confirm: align governing law with the state where Bodhi Technologies, Inc. is incorporated/headquartered.] For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Florida [confirm county]. Nothing in these Terms waives any non-waivable rights you may have under the consumer-protection laws of your home jurisdiction, including the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) where applicable.
18. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will provide notice (for example, in-app or by email) at least 30 days before they take effect, and we will revise the “Effective date” above. Changes that are required by law or that benefit you may take effect sooner. If you continue to use the Service after changes take effect, you accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and you may delete your account.
19. Contact
Questions about these Terms: emercenari@joinbuo.com [confirm: add a business mailing address for the operating entity.]
20. General
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the subject.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
- Notices. We may give you notice by in-app message or to your account email; you give us notice at emercenari@joinbuo.com.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
