Terms
Last updated 21 September 2026
These are the terms for using It's Chore Time. This is the site's policy, written to match how the product works. It is not personalized legal advice. Using the service means you agree to this page.
The service
It's Chore Time is a web app at https://itschoretime.com for household chore lists and an allowance picture. The parent or guardian is the customer. Kids use kid mode only after a parent adds them.
Early access
The service is provided as-is while we find households. No payment processor is connected, and we do not charge a subscription today. If a price comes later, we will say so on this site first, and these terms will be updated before anyone is billed.
Eligibility
You must be 18 or older and a parent or legal guardian (or have authority from one) to create a parent account. You are responsible for the kids you add and for the family and kid codes you share. Do not create a parent account for a child.
Accounts, email, and codes
You give us a working email and a password of at least 10 characters. We email a confirm link so we can reach you for resets and notices. You may use the app the first night before you click that link. Kid unlock uses two codes: the family code plus each kid's own 4–6 digit code. We do not email those codes. If a kid code leaks, set a new one on that kid's page.
Keep your password and codes to yourself. You are responsible for activity on your parent session and for who you hand the kid codes to. Optional two-factor sign-in is in Settings; it is only for that parent login, not for kid unlock.
Children
By adding a kid you consent to that child's use of the kid tools in your household, as described in the Privacy page. You will not let a child create or use a parent account. You will not use the service to harm a child. Kid mode is a household list, not a social network.
Money in the app
Basics never pay. Paid chores credit that house's primary parent as a record of what you owe the kid. The app does not move real bank money, hold funds, or act as a bank, wallet, or remittance service. Save / spend / donate is a picture of the same unpaid pile, not separate accounts. Payouts in the app are you marking that you paid the kid in real life (cash, Venmo, Zelle, or other).
Two houses
If you invite a co-parent, that household's data is shared with them, including lists, money records, and notes. Each parent only pays down their own line. Changing who is primary later does not rewrite the past. Invites last seven days. A family has at most two parents.
Acceptable use
Do not abuse the service, probe it, scrape it, break in, or use it to harm anyone, especially a child. Do not try to open a parent account if you are not an adult with authority over the household. We may pause, lock, or delete a family for abuse, legal risk, or operational reasons. A parent can also delete the household from Settings.
Availability
We aim to keep the site up, including a scheduled job for evening nudges and weekly recaps when mail is on. We do not promise uninterrupted service, and early access may change as we learn from households.
Intellectual property
The It's Chore Time name, site, and design are ours. You keep the household content you type. You give us a limited license to host that content so the app can show it to your household and, if you invited one, your co-parent.
Disclaimer
The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, including fitness for a particular purpose or that the money picture will match a court order, custody agreement, or bank balance. It's Chore Time is a chore and allowance tracker. It is not legal, financial, tax, or custody advice.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of your use of the site. Our total liability for a claim about the service is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim — which today is zero, because we do not charge. Some places do not allow these limits; in those places, they apply only as far as the law allows.
Indemnity
You will indemnify us against claims that arise from your misuse of the service, your household content, or your breaking of these terms, except to the extent we caused the harm.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where the operator of this site resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a dispute cannot be resolved by emailing hello@itschoretime.com, courts in that state may hear it, unless the law in your home state requires otherwise (including any rights you have as a consumer).
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top will change. If we add a price, we will say so on the site before charging. Continued use after an update means you accept the new terms. If you do not, delete the family from Settings.
