Terms of service

1. The service

Got the kids helps UK families plan school-holiday childcare handoffs, share scoped schedules with informal carers, and track confirmations. The service is provided during early access on an "as is" basis while we validate the product with real households.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials and for all activity under your household account.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service, including: sharing unlawful content, attempting to access other households' data, reverse-engineering the platform, or using the service for purposes unrelated to family schedule coordination.

4. Carers and share links

Share links grant carers view access to scoped schedule slices. You are responsible for who you share links with. Links should be treated as confidential. We are not responsible for schedules shared beyond your intended recipients.

5. Not professional advice

Got the kids is a planning tool, not legal, medical, or childcare advice. You remain responsible for the safety and welfare of children in your care arrangements.

6. Early access and availability

During early access, features may change, data may be reset, and the service may be interrupted. We will give reasonable notice before material changes where possible.

7. Pricing

Early access is currently free for planning parents. Carers never pay. Paid plans will be introduced with clear notice; see our pricing page.

8. Intellectual property

We own the service, brand, and software. You retain ownership of the schedule content you create. You grant us a licence to host and display your content solely to provide the service.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service, including missed handoffs or reliance on schedule information. Our total liability is limited to fees paid in the twelve months preceding the claim (or £0 during free early access).

10. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. On termination, your data will be deleted in accordance with our privacy policy.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
