Last updated: August 26, 2025
From everyone at Pulchre, LLC, thank you for using our products! We
build them to help you do your best work. Because we don’t know every
one of our customers personally, we have to put in place some Terms of
Service to help keep the ship afloat.
When we say “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this document, we are
referring to Pulchre, LLC.
When we say “Services”, we mean our websites, including pulchre.net
and thoughtful-bee.com, and any product created and maintained by
Pulchre, LLC. That includes Thoughtful Bee, whether delivered
within a web browser, desktop application, mobile application, or
another format.
When we say “You” or “your”, we are referring to the people or
organizations that own an account with one or more of our Services.
We may update these Terms of Service (“Terms”) in the future.
Typically these changes have been to clarify some of these terms by
linking to an expanded related policy. Whenever we make a significant
change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page
and take any other appropriate steps to notify account holders.
When you use our Services, now or in the future, you are agreeing to
the latest Terms. There may be times where we do not exercise or enforce
a right or provision of the Terms; however, that does not mean we are
waiving that right or provision. These Terms do contain a
limitation of our liability.
If you violate any of the Terms, we may terminate your account.
Account Terms
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and
password and for ensuring that any of your users do the same. The
Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your
failure to comply with this security obligation. We recommend all users
set up two-factor authentication for added security. In some of our
Services, we may require it.
- You may not use the Services for any purpose outlined in our Use Restrictions policy, and you may not permit
any of your users to do so, either.
- You are responsible for all content posted to and activity that
occurs under your account, including content posted by and activity of
any users in your account.
- You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other
automated methods are not permitted.
Payment, Refunds, and Plan
Changes
- If you are using a free version of one of our Services, it is really
free: we do not ask you for your credit card and — just like for
customers who pay for our Services — we do not sell your data.
- For paid Services that offer a free trial, we explain the length of
trial when you sign up. After the trial period, you need to pay in
advance to keep using the Service. If you do not pay, we will freeze
your account and it will be inaccessible until you make payment. If your
account has been frozen for a while, we will queue it up for
auto-cancellation.
- If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge
your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of
upgrade. For other upgrades or downgrades in plan level, the new rate
starts from the next billing cycle.
- All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by
taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on
behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing
authorities. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes,
levies, or duties.
- We process refunds at our sole discretion.
Cancellation and Termination
- You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account.
Within each of our Services, we provide a simple no-questions-asked
cancellation link. An email or phone request to cancel your account is
not automatically considered cancellation. If you need help canceling
your account, you can always contact our Support team.
- All of your content will be inaccessible from the Services
immediately upon account cancellation. Within 30 days, all content will
be permanently deleted from active systems and logs. Within 60 days, all
content will be permanently deleted from our backups. We cannot recover
this information once it has been permanently deleted.
- If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up
month, your cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will not
be charged again. We do not automatically prorate unused time in the
last billing cycle.
- We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse
any and all current or future use of our Services for any reason at any
time. Suspension means you and any other users on your account will not
be able to access the account or any content in the account. Termination
will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access
to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in
your account. We also reserve the right to refuse the use of the
Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We have this clause
because statistically speaking, out of the hundreds of thousands of
accounts on our Services, there is at least one doing something
nefarious. There are some things we staunchly stand against and this
clause is how we exercise that stance. For more details, see our Use Restrictions policy.
- Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse
or retribution) of a Company employee or officer will result in
immediate account termination.
Modifications to the
Service and Prices
- We make a promise to our customers to support our Services for as
long as it is viable to do so. That means when it comes to security,
privacy, and customer support, we will continue to maintain any legacy
Services. Sometimes it becomes technically impossible to continue a
feature or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could
be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the
right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently,
any part of our Services with or without notice.
- Sometimes we change the pricing structure for our products. When we
do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes.
However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If
we do so, we will give at least 30 days notice and will notify you via
the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes on
our websites or the affected Services themselves.
Uptime, Security, and Privacy
- Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide these
Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not offer
service-level agreements for our Services, but do take uptime of our
applications seriously.
- We reserve the right to temporarily disable your account if your
usage significantly exceeds the average usage of other customers of the
Services. Of course, we’ll reach out to the account owner before taking
any action except in rare cases where the level of use may negatively
impact the performance of the Service for other customers.
- We take many measures to protect and secure your data through
backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data
transmission from the public Internet. There are some edge cases where
we may send your data through our network unencrypted. For security
reports, please email our Security
team. We’ll respond as soon as we can.
- When you use our Services, you entrust us with your data. We take
that trust to heart. You agree that Pulchre, LLC may process your data
as described in our Privacy Policy and for no
other purpose. We as humans can access your data for the following
reasons:
- To help you with support requests you make. We’ll
ask for express consent before accessing your account.
- On the rare occasions when an error occurs that stops an
automated process partway through. We get automated alerts when
such errors occur. When we can fix the issue and restart automated
processing without looking at any personal data, we do. In rare cases,
we have to look at a minimum amount of personal data to fix the issue.
In these rare cases, we aim to fix the root cause to prevent the errors
from recurring.
- To safeguard Pulchre, LLC. We’ll look at logs and
metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your data and the
Services as a whole. If necessary, we may also access accounts as part
of an abuse report investigation.
- To the extent required by applicable law. As a US
company with all data infrastructure located in the US, we only preserve
or share customer data if compelled by a US government authority with a
legally binding order or proper request under the Stored Communications
Act, or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request.
If a non-US authority approaches Pulchre, LLC for assistance, our
default stance is to refuse unless the order has been approved by the US
government, which compels us to comply through procedures outlined in an
established mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement mechanism. If
Pulchre, LLC is audited by a tax authority, we only share the bare
minimum billing information needed to complete the audit.
- We use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the
necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related
technology required to run the Services. Here is a list of subprocessors
who handle personal data:
Copyright and Content
Ownership
- All content posted on the Services must comply with U.S. copyright
law. We provide details on how to file a
copyright infringement claim.
- You give us a limited license to use the content posted by you and
your users in order to provide the Services to you, but we claim no
ownership rights over those materials. All materials you submit to the
Services remain yours.
- We do not pre-screen content, but we reserve the right (but not the
obligation) in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that
is available via the Service.
- The Company or its licensors own all right, title, and interest in
and to the Services, including all intellectual property rights therein,
and you obtain no ownership rights in the Services as a result of your
use. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the HTML, CSS,
JavaScript, or visual design elements without express written permission
from the Company. You must request permission to use the Company’s logos
or any Service logos for promotional purposes. Please email us requests to use logos. We
reserve the right to rescind any permissions if you violate these
Terms.
- You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit
any portion of the Services, use of the Services, or access to the
Services without the express written permission of the Company.
Features and Bugs
We design our Services with care, based on our own experience and the
experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However,
there is no such thing as a service that pleases everybody. We make no
guarantees that our Services will meet your specific requirements or
expectations.
We also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As
with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the
bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any
related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed and
we don’t guarantee completely error-free Services.
Liability
We mention liability throughout these Terms but to put it all in one
section:
You expressly understand and agree that the Company shall
not be liable, in law or in equity, to you or to any third party for any
direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential,
punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages
for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses
(even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such
damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the
Services; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services
resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or
obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or
from the Services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your
transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on
the service; (v) or any other matter relating to these Terms or the
Services, whether as a breach of contract, tort (including negligence
whether active or passive), or any other theory of
liability.
In other words: choosing to use our Services does mean you are making
a bet on us. If the bet does not work out, that’s on you, not us. We do
our darnedest to be as safe a bet as possible through careful management
of the business; investments in security, infrastructure, and talent. If
you choose to use our Services, thank you for betting on us.
If you have a question about any of these Terms, please contact our Support team.
