1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the mobile applications and related SMS/text messaging services (collectively, the "Services") operated by Brandon James ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.

2. Our Services

We operate the following mobile applications and associated services:

2.1 Bintu

Bintu is a social connectivity platform that helps friends see when each other is available for phone calls. Bintu uses your phone number, contacts, Bluetooth, and location data to provide its core features, including friend discovery and availability status sharing.

2.2 Sunshyne

Sunshyne is a weather application that provides weather information for your current location and planned travel destinations, along with intelligent packing list generation based on weather conditions, trip activities, and personal preferences. With your explicit consent, Sunshyne accesses your device’s calendar to extract location and date information from your upcoming events, enabling it to detect trips and provide weather forecasts for your destinations. Raw calendar event data is not permanently stored on our servers; however, derived trip data (such as destination cities and travel dates) is stored to support trip detection and weather planning features. Sunshyne also uses your location data to deliver accurate, localized weather information. Sunshyne does not require account creation, does not collect your phone number, and does not use SMS messaging.

3. SMS/Text Messaging Program (Bintu Only)

Program Name: Bintu Account Verification

Program Description: The SMS/Text Messaging provisions in this document apply exclusively to Bintu. Sunshyne does not use or collect data for SMS messaging. When you create an account, log in to Bintu, or initiate a forgotten password reset, you may receive a one-time SMS verification code to authenticate your identity or verify your request. These messages are transactional in nature and are sent solely for the purpose of account verification and password recovery. No marketing or promotional messages will be sent via SMS. Additionally, Bintu allows you to invite friends from your contacts via SMS through your device’s native messaging app. These invitation messages are sent directly from your device and are not transmitted through our messaging service. When you invite a friend, their phone number and name are stored on our servers to enable automatic friend connection when they join Bintu.

Message Frequency: 1 message per login, verification, or password reset attempt. Message frequency varies based on your account activity.

Message and data rates may apply. Your carrier’s standard messaging and data rates will apply to any messages you send to or receive from us. Please contact your wireless carrier for details about your messaging plan and any applicable fees. We are not responsible for any charges incurred from your carrier.

3.1 Opt-In / Consent

By providing your mobile phone number during account registration within the Bintu app and initiating a login, account verification, or forgotten password reset, you expressly consent to receive transactional SMS messages from us containing verification codes. When you request a password reset, the app will inform you that a verification code will be sent to your phone number before the message is dispatched. Your consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

3.2 Opt-Out Instructions

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Simply text STOP to the number from which you received the message. After you send the text message STOP to us, we will send you a confirmation message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to receive messages again, you may opt back in by initiating a new login/verification request within the app.

3.3 Help / Support

If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program, you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly by contacting us at brandonisaacjames@gmail.com.

3.4 Carrier Liability

Carriers (including but not limited to T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon) are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to effective transmission from your network carrier and is outside of our control.

3.5 No Sharing of Messaging Data

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
