Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the SKIDOSH mobile application and related services (together, the "Service"), operated by mlchronix ("SKIDOSH", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who may use SKIDOSH

1.1 Parent-held accounts. SKIDOSH is an educational app designed for children approximately ages 3–12, but accounts may only be created and held by an adult (a parent or legal guardian, the "Parent"). Children use the Service through child profiles that the Parent creates and controls inside the Parent's account.

1.2 Parental responsibility. The Parent is responsible for all activity under the account, including each child profile, for supervising their children's use of the Service, and for all settings they configure (screen-time limits, PINs, content controls, messaging).

1.3 Parental consent (COPPA and equivalent laws). By creating child profiles, the Parent consents to the collection and use of the limited child data described in our Privacy Policy, as required by the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the GDPR (including GDPR-K provisions), and the UK Children's Code. The Parent may withdraw consent at any time by deleting the account and data as described in the Privacy Policy.

1.4 You must provide accurate account information and keep your credentials and parent PIN confidential.

2. The Service

2.1 SKIDOSH provides interactive educational activities, games, simulations, stories, videos, music tools, and progress tracking for children, together with parent-facing dashboards and controls.

2.2 We may add, change, or remove features and content at any time. We aim to give notice of material reductions in functionality for paid subscribers where reasonably practicable.

3. Free tier, subscriptions, and billing

3.1 Free tier. SKIDOSH is free to download and includes a selection of free activities. Additional content requires a paid subscription.

3.2 Auto-renewing subscriptions. Paid plans are sold as auto-renewing subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Prices, billing period, and terms are shown at the point of purchase inside the store purchase flow. Payment is charged to your store account, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

3.3 Managing and cancelling. Subscriptions are managed and cancelled through your App Store or Google Play account settings — deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Purchases within the app are protected by a parental gate; purchases are intended to be made by the Parent only.

3.4 Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective store policies. Where we are legally required to provide refunds directly, we will do so.

3.5 Price changes. If a subscription price changes, the store will notify you and, where required, seek your consent before charging the new price.

4. User content and messaging

4.1 No public user-generated content. The Service does not allow children or parents to publish content to other users or to the public. Creations made in the app (drawings, tracings, artwork) stay on the device unless the Parent chooses to export or share them using the device's own share features.

4.2 Family-scoped messaging. The Service includes a messaging feature that works only inside a single family account: the Parent may send free-text messages to their own child profiles, and children can reply only with preset messages. Messages are never visible outside the family and are deleted with the account. The Parent is responsible for the content of messages they send.

4.3 Profile photos. Child profile photos are stored on the device only and are not uploaded to our servers.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• attempt to access another user's account or data;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
• circumvent parental gates, purchase gates, subscription entitlements, screen time limits, or other technical protections;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or networks;
• use automated means to scrape or harvest data from the Service;
• misrepresent your age or identity when creating an account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Our content. The Service and all original content in it — including games, simulations, artwork, characters (including the Zibby mascot), stories, videos, music synthesis, software, and design — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

6.2 Your licence. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for personal, non-commercial, household/educational use, subject to these Terms.

6.3 You may not copy, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the Service or its content except as expressly permitted.

6.4 Feedback. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

7. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal data — including the limited data collected about children with parental consent — is described in our Privacy Policy. Data deletion requests can be made in-app or via our Delete Your Data page.

8. Educational content disclaimer

SKIDOSH content is designed around the topics children learn in school, inspired by US and UK curricula. It is a supplementary learning tool: we do not guarantee any particular educational outcome, grade improvement, or formal curriculum alignment or accreditation. Some stories and videos are created with AI-assisted tools and human curation.

9. Termination

9.1 You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.

9.2 We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Where reasonably possible we will give you advance notice. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as required by law or store policy.

9.3 Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) survive.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted, error-free operation, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that consumers have under applicable law which cannot be waived or limited by contract.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) USD $50. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice (for example, in-app or by email) before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes are subject to the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.
