Scope and acceptance
These terms govern the Blotti website and supplement the licence and purchase terms that apply to the Blotti macOS application supplied by Alvis Kalarikkan (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, purchasing, or using Blotti after these terms take effect, you agree to them and to the applicable Apple terms. If you use Blotti for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these terms for it.
You must be legally able to enter this agreement. Blotti is a professional utility and is not directed to children.
Application licence
The application is licensed under Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms supplement that agreement for Blotti subscriptions, acceptable use, safety limitations, and the website. If these terms conflict with Apple’s Standard EULA on the application licence, the Standard EULA controls, subject always to mandatory applicable law.
Blotti, its design, code, branding, documentation, and related intellectual property remain owned by us or our licensors. No right is granted except the limited licence expressly described here.
Free and Pro subscriptions
Blotti Free includes structured sensitive-text protection and the protected preview. Blotti Pro adds Smooth changed-region performance, application/window blocking during display capture, Strict mode, global custom regex hiders, saved custom hiders and application policies, and continuing advanced protection work. We aim to keep the website, in-app, and App Store descriptions consistent. Pre-purchase information that is binding under applicable law remains binding.
Pro is an auto-renewable Mac App Store subscription. Apple displays the final local price, billing period, taxes, trial eligibility, and renewal terms before purchase. Apple processes payment, renewal, cancellation, and refund requests. You can manage or cancel through your Apple Account; cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the paid period, subject to Apple’s terms and applicable law. Apple’s administration of a refund request does not remove any statutory right or remedy you may have against us for faulty or misdescribed digital content.
Pro access is based only on a verified StoreKit entitlement. If access expires while a Pro-only protection policy is active, including an enabled custom regex hider, Blotti is designed to stop protected capture until you restore access or disable or remove that policy. Saved custom rules remain local to the app container; tester text is evaluated on the Mac and is not saved.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use Blotti unlawfully or to violate another person’s privacy, confidentiality, or intellectual-property rights.
- Attempt to bypass subscription checks, security controls, code-signing protections, or operating-system permissions.
- Reverse engineer or redistribute Blotti except where applicable law expressly permits it.
- Misrepresent Blotti as guaranteeing anonymisation, de-identification, regulatory compliance, or detection of every secret.
- Use the product to conduct remote monitoring or capture content without all permissions required by law.
Safety limitations and your responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Sharing only “Blotti Share — Share This Window”, never the original source or full desktop.
- Checking the protected preview before and during a meeting.
- Testing custom regexes with synthetic representative text and checking for overmatching and missed formats.
- Avoiding real secrets or personal information in custom rule definitions when a generalised pattern will work.
- Keeping macOS and Blotti updated and respecting permission prompts or stop warnings.
- Following the policies and laws that apply to the source material, meeting, workplace, and jurisdiction.
- Maintaining an independent safe-sharing process for information whose disclosure could cause serious harm.
Availability, updates, and changes
Blotti may require a supported macOS version, Screen Recording permission, compatible hardware, and third-party meeting software. We may make reasonable and proportionate changes to features, supported detectors, technical requirements, and these terms for security, compatibility, legal, or product reasons. Where practicable, we will give advance notice of a material change. Changes do not remove accrued statutory rights, and you may cancel before a future renewal if a change is materially adverse.
We aim to keep core security fixes available to Free users and provide continuing value for Pro, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability or compatibility with every application, display, source, meeting service, or macOS release.
Warranty and liability
You must not rely on Blotti as your only safeguard. If it stops, reports an error, shows a stale preview, or otherwise does not work as expected, stop sharing and use an independent safe-sharing process. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss caused by sharing an original or unprotected source, ignoring an in-app warning, using unsupported software or hardware, or treating Blotti as a guarantee of anonymisation, compliance, or prevention of disclosure.
Responsibility for loss
If we breach these terms or fail to use reasonable care and skill, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a reasonably foreseeable result of that breach. We are not responsible for loss that was not caused by our breach or was not reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when the contract was made.
Consumer rights
If you use Blotti as a consumer, nothing in these terms excludes or limits your mandatory statutory rights or remedies for digital content that is not of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, or as described; for services not supplied with reasonable care and skill; or for qualifying damage that faulty digital content causes to your device or other digital content. We are not responsible for business losses arising from consumer use.
Business losses
If you use Blotti wholly or mainly for business purposes, then, where lawful and reasonable, we are not responsible for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, anticipated savings, or goodwill that was not a reasonably foreseeable result of our breach. Any separate business agreement signed by us may set different, proportionate limits for business use.
Events beyond our control
We are not responsible for delay or non-performance caused solely by events genuinely beyond our reasonable control. We will take reasonable steps to reduce the effect, resume performance where possible, and provide any cancellation or refund rights required by law.
Liabilities that cannot be excluded
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of mandatory consumer rights, or any other liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
