Terms of Service

Last updated: [DATE] · Effective: [DATE]

These terms are an agreement between you and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] (“we”, “us”) covering your use of Chore Champions (the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, please don’t use it.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 and the parent or legal guardian of any child whose information you enter. By setting up a chart you confirm that you are, and that you consent to our collection and use of that child’s information as described in our Privacy Policy.

Children use the Service under your supervision, through the household you control. You are responsible for what happens in your household’s chart.

2. Your household code and parent PIN

Your household access code lets any device that has it see your family’s entire chart, and your parent PIN guards the parent view. Keeping both to yourself is your responsibility. If either is exposed, rotate the code and change the PIN under Parent → Settings. We cannot recover a lost PIN for you — we don’t store it in a readable form.

3. Chores, points, and prizes are yours, not ours

This is important, so plainly: the Service is a tracking tool. Points are numbers in your family’s chart, not currency, credit, or property, and they have no value outside your home. Prizes are whatever you decide to give your own child.

We do not provide, fund, ship, guarantee, or take any part in any reward. We do not hold, transfer, or process money between you and your child. Whether a prize is actually handed over is entirely between you and your family.

4. The Service is not supervision

Chore Champions is a chart, not a caregiver. It does not supervise children, verify that a chore was really done or done safely, or make any judgement about whether a chore is appropriate for a particular child. Deciding what your child should do, and keeping them safe while they do it, remains entirely yours.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

6. Our intellectual property

The Service, its software, design, and branding belong to us. These terms give you permission to use it, not ownership of it. The content you enter — your children’s names, your chores, your prizes — stays yours.

7. Availability and changes

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will make a reasonable effort to give notice before a change that would significantly affect paying subscribers.

8. Subscriptions and billing [PLACEHOLDER — REWRITE BEFORE CHARGING]

Some features may require a paid subscription. If you buy one: it costs [PRICE AND BILLING PERIOD]; it renews automatically each period until you cancel; you may cancel at any time via [CANCELLATION METHOD], effective at the end of the current period; and refunds are handled as described at [REFUND POLICY OR STORE POLICY LINK]. We will give you [NOTICE PERIOD] notice before any price change, which takes effect only at your next renewal.

9. Your data, and backups

We describe what we store and for how long in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Note in particular that chore and prize history older than 24 months is deleted automatically.

Please keep your own copy of anything you would be sorry to lose. We make no promise that data will never be lost, and we are not responsible for restoring it.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any data will be preserved or accurate.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, nor for any loss of data, profits, goodwill, or of any prize, reward, or allowance, arising out of or relating to the Service — whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.

Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) [AMOUNT — e.g. US$50].

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your breach of these terms, or your violation of anyone else’s rights.

13. Governing law and disputes [REVIEW WITH COUNSEL]

These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Let’s talk first. If something goes wrong, email us at [CONTACT EMAIL] and we will try to sort it out informally. Please give us 30 days to do so before starting a formal proceeding.

If we cannot resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by [ARBITRATION PROVIDER] in [LOCATION], rather than in court, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and we each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class or representative action.

[CONSIDER ADDING AN OPT-OUT WINDOW — e.g. 30 days from account creation — WHICH MEANINGFULLY IMPROVES ENFORCEABILITY]

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your household. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections 3, 6, and 9–13 survive termination.

15. General

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a provision isn’t a waiver of it. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us. You may not transfer them; we may, as part of a merger or sale of the business.
