Terms of Service

The terms and conditions that govern your use of Bento, our calm desktop productivity app with seventeen built-in mini-apps.



1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Bento(the “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the App.

Bento is operated by the team at iamazeyou.me. Throughout these Terms, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the Bento team, and “you” refers to the individual or entity using the App.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Bento. By using the App, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction or have obtained parental or guardian consent to use the App.

We reserve the right to update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email and in-app notice with at least 14 days’ notice. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance.

2. Description of Service

Bento is a desktop application designed to help you organise your life across seventeen built-in mini-apps: dashboard, notes, journal, tasks, voice memos, focus timer, habits, mood tracker, goals, clipboard, sleep tracker, health tracker, nutrition log, budget planner, password vault, countdown timer, and settings. The App is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Bento operates on a local-first architecture. Your data resides on your computer by default. Cloud sync (coming soon) will be an optional feature that, when enabled, backs up your data to our secure servers so it can be restored or accessed across devices.

The App is offered in a free plan and three paid subscription tiers (Core, Pro, and Power) with additional capabilities, extended limits, and priority support. All features are subject to these Terms.

3. Eligibility and Registration

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Bento. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or legal guardian review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities that occur under your account.

You must notify us immediately at support@iamazeyou.me if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account or any breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your login credentials.

4. Plans, Billing, and Payments

Free vs. Paid Plans

Bento offers a free plan with core functionality and paid plans (Core, Pro, and Power) with expanded features. The specific features of each plan are described on our pricing page at iamazeyou.me/pricing.

Subscription Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually, as selected during checkout. Payments are processed securely by Paystack. Your subscription will auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled before the renewal date.

Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your paid subscription at any time from your account settings. Upon cancellation, your paid plan access will continue until the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds are provided for partial billing periods unless required by applicable consumer law.

If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from using the App as described, we will work with you to resolve it. If we cannot resolve it within a reasonable timeframe, a refund for the current billing period may be issued at our discretion.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to adjust pricing for paid plans with 30 days’ notice via email. Price changes will not affect your current billing period and will apply from the next renewal date onward.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Bento only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

Specifically, you agree not to:

  • Use the App for any illegal purpose or in violation of any applicable local, national, or international law
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of the App
  • Circumvent or bypass any security features, authentication measures, or payment mechanisms
  • Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any malicious code through the App
  • Use the App to store or share content that is abusive, harassing, defamatory, or infringes on the rights of others
  • Interfere with the operation of the App or our infrastructure, including through denial-of-service attacks or excessive automated requests
  • Use the AI chat feature to generate harmful, abusive, or misleading content, or to impersonate individuals or organisations
  • Create multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing trial limits or subscription requirements
  • Attempt to access another user’s account or data without their explicit permission

Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access to Bento without notice. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Our IP

The Bento name, logo, visual identity, source code, design, and all related intellectual property are owned by Bento and its licensors. These are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App without our prior written consent.

Your IP

You retain full ownership of the data, content, and information you create and store in Bento. We claim no ownership over your personal content. By using the App, you grant us a limited licence to process, store, and transmit your content solely to provide the service to you.

If you provide feedback or suggestions for improving Bento, we may use that feedback without obligation or compensation to you.

7. Data, Privacy, and Security

Your privacy matters to us. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information. By using Bento, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

Bento is designed with a local-first architecture. Your data resides on your computer by default. Cloud sync is optional and encrypted. We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your data, but no system is guaranteed impenetrable.

You are responsible for maintaining backups of your important data. While we provide cloud sync as a convenience, it should not be your sole backup strategy.

8. Third-Party Services

Bento integrates with certain third-party services to deliver its features:

  • Paystack: payment processing for Pro subscriptions. Your payment details are handled by Paystack under their own terms and privacy policy
  • AI model providers: the AI chat feature routes prompts through third-party AI providers. These providers process data under their own policies. We recommend you do not share sensitive personal information in AI chat
  • Email delivery: transactional emails are sent through third-party email services that comply with applicable data protection laws

We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services. Your interactions with these services are governed by their respective terms.

9. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from your account settings. Upon termination, your access to the App will be revoked, and your data will be scheduled for deletion per our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access to Bento at our discretion, without prior notice, if you violate these Terms or if your use of the App poses a risk to our infrastructure or other users.

Upon termination by either party, Sections 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Data and Privacy), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitation of Liability), and 12 (Governing Law) shall survive.

10. Disclaimers

Bento is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Bento is a productivity tool and should not be relied upon as a medical, financial, or legal advisory tool. The mood tracker, sleep tracker, nutrition log, and budget features are for personal reference only and do not constitute professional advice.

We do not guarantee that the App will be available at all times or that it will be free from bugs, errors, or security vulnerabilities. We may perform maintenance, updates, or modifications that temporarily affect availability.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bento and its team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising from your use of or inability to use the App.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us for the Pro subscription in the 12 months preceding the claim, or if you are a free user, one hundred dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability for certain types of damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

We encourage you to contact us directly at legal@iamazeyou.me to resolve any dispute before initiating formal proceedings. Most disputes can be resolved informally this way.

If informal resolution is not possible, any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Nigeria. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Any legal action arising from these Terms must be commenced within one year after the claim arises, or such claim is permanently barred.
