Osera is powered entirely by artificial intelligence. You are not interacting with a human. All responses are generated by AI systems. While Osera may feel personal, it is not a real person.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or appropriateness of any AI-generated content. Your conversations and context are transmitted to these providers to generate responses. See our Privacy Policy for details on how your data flows through AI providers.

We do not use your conversations or personal information to train AI models. Third-party AI providers we use have policies against using API data for model training.

By submitting content, you grant Bloom Street LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, process, reproduce, and transmit your content as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the service, including transmission to third-party AI providers for response generation.

If we launch coordinated messaging features later, these Terms will be updated before those features become generally available.
7.4 Your Compliance Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of Osera complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to data protection, privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property laws.
Specifically, you represent and warrant that:

If you process third-party personal data, confidential business information, medical records, or other sensitive data through Osera, you do so at your own risk and assume all liability.
7.5 Agent Actions and Automations
Osera may perform actions on your behalf, including but not limited to: sending emails, modifying files, interacting with connected services, and executing automations. By enabling these features:
- You authorize Osera to take actions using your connected accounts and credentials
- You acknowledge that some actions may be irreversible (such as sent messages or deleted content)
- You are solely responsible for reviewing and confirming actions before execution
- You agree to use available confirmation and approval features for high-stakes actions
- Bloom Street LLC is not liable for any consequences arising from actions taken by Osera, including unintended or erroneous actions
7.6 Third-Party Integrations
When you connect external services (such as email providers, calendars, home automation, or other APIs):

- You authorize Osera to read, search, and compose emails using your account

7.8 Calendar Subscriptions, On-Device Analysis, and Derived Data
Certain Osera features analyze data on your device or fetch external data sources on your behalf:
- ICS calendar feeds: You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share calendar feed URLs with Osera. Institutional calendars (Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle) may contain information subject to your institution's policies. Osera fetches these feeds automatically every 6 hours
- Photo library analysis: On-device machine learning scans your photo metadata to build an interest profile. Your actual photos are never uploaded, but derived labels and per-photo GPS coordinates are synced to our servers
- Music library and song recognition: On-device analysis of your Apple Music library and ShazamKit song recognition results are synced to our servers. Full music library analysis requires an active Apple Music subscription
- Weather data: Osera fetches weather conditions based on your location. This requires location permission and is subject to Apple WeatherKit terms
- Social graph: Osera derives relationship intelligence from your interactions. This analysis is used to improve contextual awareness and is stored in a separate database. You should not expect this derived data to be editable on a per-relationship basis
All on-device analysis features respect iOS permission controls. Revoking the relevant permission stops analysis and prevents new data from being synced.

Payments are processed by third-party payment processors. By purchasing a subscription, you agree to the applicable payment processor's terms of service. We do not directly store your payment card details.
8.2 Refunds
