Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 24, 2026
Welcome to Earni. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Earni mobile application ("App") developed and operated by Nimbusa ("we", "our", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
1. Eligibility
Earni is designed for family use. A parent or guardian must create and manage the family group. Children under 13 may use the App only under the supervision of a parent or guardian who serves as the family admin. By creating a family group and adding members, the admin represents that they have the authority to consent on behalf of all members, including minors.
2. Account
- You may create an account using Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, or with an email address and password.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account.
- You agree to provide accurate information for your display name and profile.
- We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. Family Groups
- The family admin creates the group and invites members via an invite code.
- The admin is responsible for managing members, chores, and rewards within their family group.
- Family data (chores, stars, rewards, leaderboard) is visible to all members of the group.
- The admin may add or remove members at their discretion.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
- Upload offensive, abusive, or inappropriate content (including photos, names, and chore descriptions).
- Attempt to access other users' accounts, families, or data.
- Interfere with the operation of the App or its servers.
- Create multiple accounts to manipulate statistics or family membership.
5. Stars, Rewards, and Piggy Bank
- Stars and piggy bank balances are tracked within the App for motivational purposes. They have no monetary value outside the family group's own reward system.
- The family admin determines the real-world value (if any) of stars and rewards.
- We reserve the right to adjust the star system or features at any time.
6. User Content
- You retain ownership of photos and content you upload.
- By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display that content within the App for its intended purpose (e.g., showing chore proof photos to family members).
- We may remove any content that violates these Terms without notice.
7. Advertising
- The App may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks to support continued development.
- Ads shown to family members identified as children are limited to age-appropriate, non-personalized advertising in accordance with applicable laws (including COPPA) and platform policies.
- Third-party ad networks may collect limited information (such as device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction data) subject to their own privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- We may, at our discretion, offer a paid option to remove ads in the future.
8. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases
The App may, now or in the future, offer optional in-app purchases or auto-renewing subscriptions. If you choose to purchase one:
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
- Subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
- Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings after purchase. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their respective store policies. Nimbusa does not process refunds directly.
- Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- The specific price, billing period, features, and terms of any subscription or in-app purchase will be disclosed in the App at the point of purchase.
9. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, code, graphics, and features, is owned by Nimbusa and protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the App. We grant you a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.
10. Apple App Store Terms
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply and prevail over any conflicting terms above:
- Acknowledgment: These Terms are between you and Nimbusa only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Scope of License: The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
- Maintenance and Support: Nimbusa, not Apple, is solely responsible for any maintenance and support of the App.
- Warranty: Nimbusa is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- Product Claims: Nimbusa, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability, legal and regulatory compliance, and consumer protection claims.
- Intellectual Property: In the event of any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights, Nimbusa, not Apple, will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
- Legal Compliance: You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not listed on any U.S. Government prohibited or restricted parties list.
- Developer Contact: For questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App, contact Nimbusa at nimbusadev@gmail.com.
- Third-Party Beneficiary: You acknowledge that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you.
11. Disclaimers
- The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
- We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
- We are not responsible for interactions between family members or any real-world consequences of chore assignments or rewards.
- We are not liable for any loss of data, progress, or app content.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nimbusa shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim related to the App shall not exceed $50.
13. Account Deletion
You may delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the App. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed within 30 days. Family data you contributed to may be retained in anonymized form to preserve other members' records.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the App. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you should stop using the App and delete your account.
