Terms of Service

Effective date: June 25, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and KidCheck ("KidCheck", "we", "us", or "our") and govern your use of the KidCheck mobile application and related services (the "Service"). Please read them carefully. By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is intended for parents and guardians making decisions for the children in their care. By using the Service you confirm that you meet these requirements.

2. What the Service does

KidCheck lets you scan a movie, show, game, book, app, or similar item and receive an automatically generated verdict about whether it may be a good fit for a child, based on the age and preferences you provide. The Service may also show community trends and suggest alternatives.

3. The verdict is guidance, not a guarantee

This is important. KidCheck verdicts are generated by automated systems and are provided for general informational purposes only. They are not professional, legal, medical, psychological, or educational advice, and they are not a guarantee about the content, safety, or suitability of any item.

Content, ratings, and availability change over time, and automated systems can be wrong or incomplete. You are responsible for your own decisions about what is appropriate for your child. Always use your own judgment and review content yourself before allowing your child to access it. Do not rely on KidCheck as the sole basis for any decision about your child's safety or wellbeing.

4. Subscriptions, free trials, and billing

The Service offers optional paid subscriptions that unlock additional features and higher usage limits.

Billing through Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
Free trial. If a free trial is offered, any unused portion of a trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Managing and canceling. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your device's account settings after purchase. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.
Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, and refunds are subject to Apple's policies. We generally cannot grant refunds directly.
Price changes. We may change subscription prices. If a change applies to you, we will provide notice as required by the applicable app store.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems;
interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by sending excessive or automated requests;
reverse engineer, scrape, or misuse the Service or its content except as permitted by law;
upload content that is illegal, infringing, or that you do not have the right to submit.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of the images and information you submit. You grant us a limited license to use that content only to operate and provide the Service to you, including sending it to our AI provider to generate a verdict. You are responsible for the content you submit and confirm you have the right to submit it.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text, and branding, is owned by KidCheck or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

8. Third-party services and content

The Service relies on third parties, including Apple, our payments partner, our AI provider, and public ratings sources. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, links, or content.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, or that any verdict will be accurate or complete.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, KidCheck and its officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your reliance on a verdict or your use of, or inability to use, the Service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or 25 US dollars.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KidCheck from any claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

12. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which KidCheck operates, without regard to conflict of law rules. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have that cannot be waived under the law that applies to you.
