Terms of Service

StarKid is designed for families with children, typically ages 6–12, under parent supervision.

Parents, guardians, and other adults who create a family account are responsible for managing child profiles and devices associated with their family.

If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use StarKid with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

StarKid helps families:

• Create and assign chores (including recurring chores and time-based schedules)
• Track task completion, streaks, achievements, and family progress
• Earn and manage stars
• Create wishes and rewards that children can save toward and redeem
• Run family challenges with shared goals
• Link devices and switch between child profiles on shared family tablets
• Receive optional push notifications and in-app activity updates

Certain features require a paid StarKid Pro subscription, including support for more than two children, recurring chores, photo proof tasks, wish suggestions from children, and automatic chore rotation among siblings.

Features may change over time as we improve the Service.

A parent or guardian is considered the owner and administrator of a family account.

The family administrator may:

• Create and remove child profiles
• Assign chores and manage wishes
• Approve completed tasks and wish redemptions
• Configure rewards, family challenges, and notification settings
• Set an optional parent PIN to protect parent areas of the app
• Link child devices using a family code or QR code
• Configure shared tablet mode and manage linked devices
• Manage subscription and family settings

Parents are responsible for supervising children's use of the Service and for decisions about rewards, allowances, and family rules.

Child profiles are created by a parent or guardian and are intended solely for participation within that family account.

Children may use StarKid on a dedicated linked device or on a shared family tablet through a parent-controlled profile picker.

Child profiles have limited functionality. Children may not:

• Create independent public accounts
• Contact or interact with users outside their family
• Approve chores, modify stars, or manage family settings
• Share inappropriate content
• Attempt to access other users' accounts
• Use the Service for unlawful purposes

Dedicated child devices are permanently linked to a family until the parent removes the device from family settings.

Users may submit content including:

• Family names
• Parent and child profile names
• Profile photos, illustrated avatars, or theme selections
• Chore and wish descriptions
• Wish suggestions from children (Pro feature)
• Reward and family challenge details
• Task completion notes
• Optional photos submitted as task or wish proof

You retain ownership of content you submit.

By submitting content, you grant StarKid a limited license to store, process, display, and transmit the content as necessary to operate the Service for your family.

The Service may request camera access to scan QR codes when linking a child device to a family account.

With StarKid Pro, parents may require photo proof when a child marks a chore complete. Parents may also review optional photos attached to wish suggestions.

Parents are responsible for reviewing photos submitted by children in their family.

Users must not upload content that:

• Is unlawful
• Violates intellectual property rights
• Contains harmful or abusive material
• Contains inappropriate content involving children
• Violates applicable laws

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms.

StarKid allows families to track:

• Stars earned from completed tasks
• Wishes and rewards children can save toward
• Wish redemptions and approvals
• Family challenge progress
• Achievements, streaks, and progress summaries

All rewards, redemptions, and incentives are determined solely by parents or guardians.

StarKid is not responsible for:

• Delivery of real-world rewards
• Payment of allowances
• Family disputes regarding rewards
• Accuracy of reward agreements between family members

StarKid offers a free tier and an optional paid StarKid Pro subscription.

Free and Pro plans have different limits on children, chores, and premium features. Subscription details, pricing, billing periods, and included features are presented before purchase.

Subscriptions may automatically renew unless canceled before the renewal date through your App Store or Google Play account settings.
