# TickTacker Terms of Use
**Last updated:** August 4, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the TickTacker iOS application and related services (the “App”). TickTacker is operated by Adam Revetta, doing business as TickTacker (“TickTacker,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Privacy practices are described in our Privacy Policy

## 1. The service
TickTacker helps families keep informal records of kids’ balances and activity (for example allowance, earnings, spending, and trackable items). Features may include:
- On-device profiles, balances, and ledger history
- Optional household sharing via invite codes so co-parents and kid devices stay in sync
- Optional photo attachments when logging activity
- In-app feedback and first-party product analytics
We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

## 2. Eligibility and parental responsibility
You must be able to form a binding contract where you live. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the App only with involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.
TickTacker is designed for **parents and caregivers**. If you create profiles for children, invite kid devices, or enter children’s information, you represent that you are a parent/guardian or have appropriate authority, and that you will use the App lawfully and responsibly.

## 3. No password accounts; household sharing
The App does not require a traditional password account. Household sharing uses an anonymous device session and invite codes.
When you create or join a household:
- Shared household data syncs through our cloud service so members stay up to date
- You are responsible for who you invite and for keeping invite codes private
- Roles (owner, parent, kid) affect what a device can do (for example kid devices are typically view-only)
- Leaving or deleting a household is controlled in the App as described in product UI
You must not attempt to access another household without a valid invite, probe invite systems for unauthorized access, or interfere with other families’ data.
Details about what syncs are in the [Privacy Policy](https://ticktacker.com/privacy).

## 4. Your responsibilities
You agree to:
- Use the App only for lawful, personal family purposes
- Provide accurate information you choose to enter
- Not abuse invite, analytics, feedback, or sync systems
- Not reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to disrupt the App except as allowed by law
- Not upload or attach content that is unlawful, harmful, or inappropriate to share with household members you invite (including photos and notes)
- Comply with Apple’s App Store rules and these Terms
You are solely responsible for decisions you make based on balances or records in the App.
---
## 5. Not a financial institution
TickTacker is **not** a bank, payment processor, money transmitter, custodian, or financial advisor. Balances and ledger entries are informal records you maintain. They are not deposits, stored-value accounts, or real-money wallets. We do not move money between people or institutions on your behalf.
---
## 6. Data, sync, and availability
- Solo mode works offline on your device.
- Household sync requires network access and may be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable.
- Conflict handling may use last-write-wins style rules for parent writers; co-parents can overwrite each other’s changes.
- We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, perfect sync, or that data will never be lost.
You should not rely on the App as your only copy of important records. See the Privacy Policy for retention and deletion choices.

## 7. Feedback
If you send ideas, feedback, or suggestions, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them to operate and improve TickTacker without obligation to you.
---
## 8. Intellectual property
The App, branding, design, and related materials are owned by TickTacker or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms and the App Store license, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal use on devices you own or control.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the App except as permitted by law or Apple’s license.
---
## 9. Third-party services
The App relies on third parties, including Apple and our cloud provider (Supabase). Your use of those services may be subject to their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.
---
## 10. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, secure, or available at all times, or that balances, sync, or photos will be accurate or complete.
---
## 11. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TICKTACKER AND ITS OPERATOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, SYNC CONFLICTS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ZERO IF THE APP WAS FREE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
---
## 12. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless TickTacker and its operator from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the App, your household invites, or content you enter or share (including photos and notes).
---
## 13. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time and may delete local data in Settings. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitations, and indemnity) will survive termination.
---
## 14. Changes
We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms. Material changes will be reflected here and, when practical, noted in-app or in App Store release notes.
---
## 15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer protections in your place of residence require otherwise.
If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that requires local courts or local law, nothing in this section limits those non-waivable rights.
---
## 16. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any App Store terms that apply between you and Apple, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization.
Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent required by Apple’s standard EULA, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of the end-user license terms applicable to the App.
