Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and KiddieGPT ("KiddieGPT," "we," "us") governing your access to and use of the KiddieGPT web app at app.kiddiegpt.com, browser extension, website, and related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, installing the extension, purchasing a plan, or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility & the parent's role
1.1 You must be an adult to set up KiddieGPT
The Service is intended to be installed, configured, and managed by a parent or legal guardian. To install the extension, create a parent PIN, or purchase a subscription, you must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally able to enter into a contract.
1.2 Children use the Service under supervision
Children ages 8–14 may use KiddieGPT only through an account created and managed by a parent or legal guardian and with that adult's knowledge, permission, and appropriate supervision. The Service is built around parent-managed settings and is not intended for a child to create or manage independently.
1.3 You are responsible for your household's use
If you set up KiddieGPT for a child, you accept these Terms on that child's behalf and are responsible for their use of the Service, including any subscription charges and any activity under your installation.
2. What the Service does
2.1 Description
KiddieGPT is an AI-assisted learning service for homework and practice. Depending on the plan and device, features may include Study Missions, flashcards, quizzes, guided math help, reading and read-aloud tools, writing support, explanations, active-page context, file or screenshot input, phone scanning, and parent controls. Features may change as the Service develops.
2.2 The Service relies on third-party AI
KiddieGPT uses large language models operated by third-party providers, which may include OpenAI and Anthropic. Some plans may allow you to supply your own provider API key; other requests may be routed through KiddieGPT's systems. AI output is generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable despite our safeguards. Always review important answers and do not rely on the Service as the sole source of truth.
2.3 Not professional advice
KiddieGPT is an educational aid. It does not provide medical, psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and must not be relied on as a substitute for a qualified professional or for a teacher's instruction.
2.4 Content filtering is best-effort
The content filter is a meaningful safeguard, but no automated filter is perfect. It is a tool to assist supervising parents, not a guarantee that a child will never encounter unsuitable content. Active parental supervision remains essential.
3. Subscriptions, billing & refunds
3.1 Plans
KiddieGPT may offer a limited free trial followed by paid family access billed monthly or yearly. School and organization access is available through a separate enquiry and may be governed by an order form or additional agreement. Current prices and included features are listed on our Pricing page, which forms part of these Terms.
3.2 Recurring billing
Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never receive or store your full card details.
3.3 Price changes
We may change prices. If a change affects your subscription, we will give you notice (by email if we have one on file, and/or via the extension) before the new price takes effect, so you can decide whether to continue.
3.4 Cancellation
You can cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription → Manage Billing, or through the Stripe customer portal. After cancelling, you keep paid features until the end of the billing period already paid for. Access may then end or become limited unless another active plan applies.
3.5 Refunds
If you are not satisfied within 14 days of your first family-plan purchase, use our contact form to request a refund. After 14 days, refunds are at our discretion; you can always cancel to prevent future charges. School refunds and cancellation rights may be described in the applicable order form. Nothing here limits any non-waivable refund rights under local consumer law.
4. Your responsibilities
4.1 Supervise and configure
As the responsible adult, you agree to set a parent PIN, choose an appropriate content-filter level, review your child's activity periodically, and ensure your child's use is safe and age-appropriate.
4.2 Acceptable use
You agree not to, and not to allow anyone to: use the Service unlawfully; attempt to bypass the parent controls, content filter, or usage limits; reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code except where that restriction is prohibited by law; resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service; use the Service to generate content that is unlawful, harmful, or abusive; or interfere with the Service's operation or security.
4.3 Account & PIN security
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials, parent PIN, license information, and linked devices secure. Notify us promptly through our contact form if you suspect unauthorized access.
5. Intellectual property
5.1 Our rights
The Service — including the extension, website, software, "KiddieGPT" name, logo, owl mascot, visual design, and copy — is owned by KiddieGPT and protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your family's own educational purposes.
5.2 Your content
You keep ownership of content you provide, including prompts, files, screenshots, selected webpage text, profile settings, and custom blocked terms. You confirm that you have the right to provide that content. You grant us a limited licence to process it only as needed to operate, secure, support, and maintain the Service. We do not use a child's prompts or AI responses to train our own AI models.
5.3 Third-party web content
To provide context-aware features, KiddieGPT may process text from the active webpage, a selected passage, an uploaded file, or a screenshot you choose to submit. Do not submit confidential information or content you do not have permission to use. We do not claim ownership of third-party content.
6. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that AI output will be accurate or appropriate in every instance, or that the content filter will catch every unsuitable item. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, KiddieGPT and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) USD $100 or (b) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
8. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KiddieGPT and its team from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses arising out of your misuse of the Service or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law and except where such claims result from our own fault.
9. Suspension & termination
You may stop using the Service at any time, cancel an active subscription, and request account deletion through the app where available or by contacting support. Uninstalling the extension does not by itself cancel a paid subscription. We may suspend or end access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or its users, with notice where reasonably practicable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Indemnity, will survive.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email, in-app notice, or another appropriate method. Changes take effect on the stated effective date. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel any subscription before they take effect.
11. Applicable law & disputes
These Terms are governed by applicable United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which KiddieGPT is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Courts with lawful jurisdiction may hear disputes relating to the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights or your right to bring a claim in another forum where applicable law allows it.
