Terms, in plain English

Agreeing to these terms

coinfetti is run by Kinsleo Media LLC ("we", "us"). By setting up a family or using any screen of it, you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use coinfetti.

What coinfetti is, and isn't

coinfetti is a way to keep track of your kids' pocket money: what chores pay, what they've earned, saved and spent, and what you owe them. The amounts in it are a record of promises between you and your kids.

• It isn't a bank. We don't hold, move, invest or insure money, and it never connects to a bank or card.
• You pay out. When a kid cashes out, you hand over the real money (or buy the thing) yourself. We aren't part of that.
• It isn't advice. Nothing in coinfetti is financial, legal or tax advice.

Who can use it

• A family is set up by an adult, 18 or over, who is the parent or legal guardian of each kid they add. Setting up a family, and adding each kid, is you telling us that's true.
• Kids use coinfetti only through the screens their grown-up sets up, and only with that grown-up's permission. Kids can't create a family or add themselves.
• You can add another grown-up (a co-parent). You're responsible for who you give a grown-up code to.

Your family's codes

Every screen opens with its own code (the QR code or its web address). Anyone who has a code can open that screen, so keep codes like house keys. If a device is lost or a code is shared by mistake, replace it from Devices: the old one stops working at once. We aren't responsible for what someone does with a code you shared.

What you put in, and fair use

• What you enter is yours. You let us store it and show it to your family, only to run coinfetti for you.
• Use first names and everyday notes. Please don't put sensitive details (like full names, addresses or account numbers) in names or notes.
• Don't try to break, overload, copy or get around the protections of coinfetti, or open a screen you weren't given a code for.
• If someone misuses coinfetti, we may turn off their codes or delete the family (see Deletion).

Price

coinfetti is free for one kid. Adding more kids takes a one-time unlock, $9 for the whole family, every kid. One time. No subscription, ever. The unlock isn't on sale yet; these terms will say how purchases and refunds work before it is.

Deletion, defined

These are the only ways information leaves coinfetti, and exactly what each one does.

Delete our family for good

Permanent deletion, chosen by you. Only the grown-up who set up the family can do it, from Settings, by typing the family's name to confirm. Right away, it deletes everything: every kid's name, chores, goals, allowances, every dollar in the passbook, the statements, every screen's code, and the sign-in email of the grown-up who set it up. Every device stops opening at once. It can't be undone, and we can't bring it back.

Automatic deletion of a quiet family

A family is "quiet" when no money has moved in it (nothing added, earned, cashed out or taken away). After 12 months quiet, every grown-up who opens the family sees a warning with the date it will be deleted, and a button to keep it. Keeping it, or moving any money, starts the count again. After 18 months quiet, the family is deleted exactly as if you had chosen "Delete our family for good". We don't send emails, so the warning is only in the app.

Removing a kid

Takes a kid out of the family: her or his screens stop working and she or he no longer appears. The kid's history stays in the family's record, so everyone's totals stay right, until the family itself is deleted.

Turning off or replacing a code

Stops one device from opening a screen. Nothing is deleted.

Signing out, or starting a different family on a device

The device forgets the family. Nothing is deleted. A family with no sign-in email may then have no way back in; it stays until it's deleted automatically.

Deletion by us

We may turn off codes or delete a family that breaks these terms, or when the law requires it. Where we can, we'll say so in the app first.

Backups

Our hosting company may keep backup copies for a short time before they're overwritten. We never use them to bring back a family that was deleted.

Before you delete, write down what you owe each kid. Deleting the record doesn't change any promise you made to your kids, and once it's gone, nobody can see it again, including us.

What we don't promise

coinfetti is provided "as is", with no warranties of any kind, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We work to keep it running and correct, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. We may change it or stop offering it; if we stop, we'll tell you in the app ahead of time.

As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for losses that come from using coinfetti, such as an amount recorded wrong, money between you and your kids, or a code shared with the wrong person. Where we are responsible, the most we owe is what you paid us in the 12 months before. Nothing in these terms takes away rights the law gives you that can't be signed away.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States. Any dispute about them or about coinfetti will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Georgia. If a court finds part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.

Changes and questions

We'll update this page and its date when the terms change. If a change matters, we'll ask for your agreement again in the app before it applies. Our contact email arrives with our own web address, soon.
