## 3. What BLU Solo Is

BLU Solo is local-first desktop software intended primarily for qualified private practitioners, including:

- therapists
- counsellors
- psychologists
- supervisors
- other independent practitioners

BLU Solo is designed to help one practitioner manage:

- records and notes
- session workflow and planning
- questionnaires and scored forms
- letters, invoices, and correspondence
- backups, recovery, and related practice administration

BLU Solo is a software tool. It is not a patient-facing service and does not provide medical advice, therapeutic advice, legal advice, regulatory approval, or emergency response.

## 4. Licence Grant

Subject to these terms and any valid purchase, trial, or subscription entitlement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use BLU Solo.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

- the licence is for one practitioner;
- the licence may be used on up to 2 devices by that same practitioner;
- the licence is tied to one subscription or entitlement.

You do not acquire ownership of the software.

## 5. Trials, Activation, And Subscription

Use of BLU Solo may require:

- activation
- a trial entitlement
- an active subscription
- periodic licence validation

Subscription billing, renewals, checkout handling, cancellations, and related commercial matters are governed by the applicable checkout flow, billing provider terms, and refund or cancellation terms in force at the time of purchase.

## 6. Permitted Use

You may use BLU Solo only for lawful professional purposes.

You must ensure that your use of BLU Solo complies with:

## 8. Local-First Data Boundary

BLU Solo is designed as a local-first system.

This means:

- we do not require access to your routine records for the software to function;
- we do not routinely process or store client data entered into BLU Solo;
- you remain the data controller for any personal data you process using BLU Solo in your own practice.

If you choose to use third-party storage or cloud providers, you are responsible for ensuring that arrangement is suitable for your legal and professional obligations.

## 9. Professional Responsibility

BLU Solo does not replace:

- professional judgement;

You remain fully responsible for your professional practice and records.

- the security of your device and chosen backup location.

We are not responsible for data loss caused by:

- third-party storage providers;
- user error or deletion;
- external sync systems outside our control.

## 11. Support And Updates

We may provide:

- updates, patches, and fixes;
- activation and recovery support;
- general software assistance.

We may modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue features where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational, legal, or product reasons.

## 12. Service Availability

We do not guarantee that BLU Solo will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

We may suspend, withdraw, or restrict access where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, non-payment, fraud prevention, misuse risk, or operational reasons.

## 13. Suspension And Termination

We may suspend or terminate access immediately, without liability, where reasonably necessary, including for:

- breach of these Software Licence Terms;
- non-payment;
- security, fraud, or misuse risk;
- legal or operational necessity.

Where commercially and technically appropriate, restricted-mode access may still allow limited off-ramp functions such as viewing, export, or backup.

## 14. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in BLU Solo remain our property or that of our licensors.

This includes:

These terms grant you a right to use BLU Solo, not ownership of it.

## 15. No Advice And No Compliance Guarantee

BLU Solo does not provide:

- medical or therapeutic advice;

BLU Solo is not designed to ensure compliance with any specific framework, including data protection guidance, professional-body requirements, or insurer requirements.
