Habit Party
Terms of Service
These terms are an agreement between you and Lindon Digital LLC (formerly Chore Coach LLC), a Washington limited liability company ("we", "us"), for using the Habit Party app and website. By creating an account or using Habit Party, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Habit Party.
1. Who can use Habit Party
Only a parent or legal guardian who is 18 or older can create an account. You may add children and other family members to your family. Only a child's parent or legal guardian may add a child under 13 or give consent for them; other grown-ups invited to the family can't. By adding a child 13 or older, you confirm that you are that child's parent or guardian, or that you have their parent's or guardian's permission.
You are responsible for your family's use of Habit Party, including what children do in the app, and for keeping your password and PINs private.
2. Grown-ups are in charge
Habit Party is a general-purpose family checklist, like a calendar or to-do list, made into a game. It doesn't tell anyone what to do: grown-ups write or choose every task, and the sample tasks we offer are only ideas that can be changed or deleted. Habit Party is a tool, not a babysitter, coach or expert. Grown-ups decide which tasks are right for each child, and should supervise children doing them.
- Choose safe, age-appropriate tasks. Don't give a child a task that could hurt them, such as using sharp tools, hot stoves, chemicals or ladders, without proper supervision.
- Exercise, sleep and food tasks. Tasks like "Exercise" or "In bed by 8" are reminders a family sets for itself, not health advice. Check with a doctor before starting exercise or changing sleep or eating routines, especially for anyone with a health condition.
- Not medical, psychological, educational or financial advice. Habit Party doesn't diagnose or treat anything and isn't a substitute for a professional.
You use Habit Party, and assign and do tasks, at your own risk. We are not responsible for injuries, damage or losses that happen while a task is done.
3. Family rewards are a record only
Families can attach money or stars to tasks and keep a record of what each person earned. Habit Party does not move, hold, pay or store money, and it is not a bank, wallet or payment service. Amounts in the app are reminders your family sets up. Whether and how anyone gets paid is decided by your family, outside the app. We are not responsible for disagreements about rewards or for mistakes in records you enter.
4. Stars, prizes and seasonal items
Stars, outfits, backgrounds, prizes and other items in Habit Party are virtual items that only work inside the app. They have no cash value, can't be sold, traded or exchanged for money, and aren't your property. Seasonal items may be available only for a limited time. We may change, rebalance or retire virtual items as the game changes.
5. Subscriptions and free trial
You can use Habit Party for free with limited features. Family Party adds more, and there are two ways to get it:
- Free family trial. Every new family gets Family Party free for 14 days. No payment is needed. When the 14 days are over, it simply ends. It never turns into a paid subscription and you're never charged for it.
- Subscription through Apple. If you choose to subscribe, Family Party is an auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple's App Store, at $4.99/month or $39.99/year (billed once a year). Prices are in U.S. dollars; local prices are shown in the App Store. The price and length are shown in the app before you confirm.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Apple may offer an introductory free period before the first charge; if so, it's shown before you confirm, and the subscription starts automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.
- Your subscription renews automatically at the same price, and your Apple Account is charged within 24 hours before the end of each period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- You can cancel anytime in your iPhone or iPad Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Family Party until the current period ends.
- Payments, refunds and billing questions are handled by Apple under its policies. We can't issue refunds ourselves.
- One subscription covers the whole family in Habit Party, on every device signed in to that family.
If we ever change the price, Apple will tell you in advance as its rules require, and you can cancel before the new price applies.
6. Friends and stickers
Each grown-up and each kid 13 and up has their own 8-character friend code. Kids 13 to 17 can be friends only with other kids, and grown-ups only with grown-ups. A grown-up in each family must approve every new friend. Children under 13 can't have friends. Friends can see each other's first name and family name, character, this month's progress and today's count, and can send pre-made stickers and gifts. There is no chat or free text.
A family link connects two families, for relatives like grandparents. Linked families see each other's grown-ups and kids 13 and up, never children under 13. You can also add grandparents as members of your own family.
Friends and family links need Family Party. Only share a friend code with people you know and trust. A grown-up can remove a friend or a family link at any time.
7. Be kind
Don't use Habit Party to harass or bully anyone, to put offensive or inappropriate names or content in the app, to pretend to be someone else, or to try to access other families' information or our systems. Don't copy, reverse-engineer or misuse the app. We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules.
8. Your content
You own the names, tasks and other things you type into Habit Party. You give us permission to store and show them as needed to run the app for your family and the friends you choose. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle information.
9. Our app
Habit Party, its name, logo, characters, art, sounds, music and code belong to Lindon Digital LLC and are protected by law. We give you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app for your family's personal, non-commercial use, as long as you follow these terms.
10. Changes to the app
We keep improving Habit Party, so features, items and designs may change, and some may be removed. We may stop offering Habit Party; if we do, we'll give reasonable notice in the app.
11. No warranties
We work hard to keep Habit Party running and your data safe, but the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We don't promise that the app will always be available, error-free or that your data will never be lost, or that using it will change anyone's habits.
12. Limits on our liability
To the extent the law allows, Lindon Digital LLC and its owners, employees and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits, injuries or property damage connected with tasks done using the app. Our total liability for any claim about Habit Party is limited to the greater of what you paid for Habit Party in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any liability the law doesn't allow us to limit.
Some places don't allow some of these limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under law that can't be waived.
13. Your responsibility to us
If you break these terms or misuse Habit Party and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable costs from that claim, to the extent the law allows.
14. Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time in Settings › Account › Delete account. Deleting your account doesn't cancel an Apple subscription, so please also cancel it in your Apple settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.
15. Disagreements
If you have a problem, please email us first at support@lindondigital.com. Most issues can be fixed quickly. If we can't resolve it within 60 days, either of us may bring a claim in the state or federal courts in King County, Washington, or in small claims court where you live. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you live outside the U.S., you may also bring a claim in your local courts, and local consumer laws that can't be waived still apply.
16. Apple
If you got Habit Party from Apple's App Store: these terms are between you and Lindon Digital LLC, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app, its content, maintenance or support, or for any claims about it. If the app fails to meet a warranty, you can notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price (if any); otherwise Apple has no warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. You must also follow Apple's Media Services terms. You confirm you are not in a country under US government embargo and are not on a US government restricted-party list.
17. Other terms
If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later. These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Habit Party.
18. Changes and contact
If we make important changes to these terms, we'll tell you in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use Habit Party after that means you accept the new terms. Questions: support@lindondigital.com.
