Terms of Service

1. A tool for your family

Chorzle helps families organize chores, tasks, rewards, points and allowance records. It runs in a web browser and can be added to a device's home screen. It is a household organization tool, not childcare, supervision, an emergency service, a bank, or medical, financial or professional advice. An adult must decide which chores and rewards are safe, suitable and fair for each family member. We do not promise particular behavior, habits, savings or other results.

You may use Chorzle for your personal household while complying with these Terms. Access is limited, nonexclusive and not transferable outside the household. Chorzle and its licensors retain the rights to the software, designs, bees, branding and service content. Your family retains its rights to its own content.

2. Adults, children and account access

An account holder must be at least 18 and the age of majority where you live and have authority to agree to these Terms. Children participate in a family managed by their parent or legal guardian; they do not independently register a family or purchase a subscription. A parent can create a child profile and, where available, provision a separate child login. Other invited adults and caregivers have the permissions of their assigned roles.

Provide accurate account information, protect email access and passwords, review shared-device sessions, and give each member an appropriate role. Promptly tell us about suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity you authorize and for your own failure to safeguard access; this does not excuse our responsibilities under law. We may verify authority before changing access or releasing information. We do not determine custody rights or resolve family disputes.

Only add information about a child if you have the necessary parental or legal authority. Where the law requires direct notice to a parent and verifiable parental consent before a child's information is collected, that is a separate step from these Terms. Reading these Terms or the Privacy Policy, accepting these Terms, paying for a plan, being signed in as a parent, or creating a child profile or login does not by itself give or verify that consent. Our Privacy Policy explains the information involved and how a parent can request review, correction, deletion or an end to further collection.

3. Points, rewards and allowances

Chorzles are in-app reward points with no cash value or claim against us. They are not deposits, currency, securities or a stored-value payment product. They cannot be purchased from us, sold or redeemed with us for money. Where enabled, a family may gift points between its members under the app's approval rules; that is not a transfer of money or a sale of points.

Your family sets and fulfills its rewards and any real-world allowance arrangements. Money balances, interest and savings goals in Chorzle are records for your household, not funds held, moved, insured or guaranteed by Chorzle. We do not provide or guarantee rewards, pay allowances, or settle disputes about them. Check the records before relying on them for a real payment.

4. Your content and feedback

You keep ownership of the names, chores, messages, images and other content you provide. You give us a limited, nonexclusive permission to host, copy, process and display that content, and to have our service providers do so, as needed to operate, secure and support Chorzle for you. This is not permission to sell or rent your family's content, to use it for advertising, or to use it to train AI models. Handling and deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.

Only upload content you are allowed to share, including photos of other people. Do not upload sensitive identification, bank credentials or information unrelated to the household features. We may remove unlawful content or content that puts people or the service at risk. If you voluntarily send product ideas or feedback, you permit us to use those suggestions without compensation or a commitment to implement them; this does not change ownership of your family's private content.

5. Registration and the waitlist

As of this version, new-account registration is closed and billing is not switched on. Chorzle is a paid product, not a free service. Visitors may join the waitlist. Joining does not create an account, reserve a price, start a trial, authorize a charge or guarantee an invitation or launch date. Existing families may continue to sign in. The subscription provisions below describe the paid offer when we make it available.

6. One trial, with no automatic charge

When registration reopens, an eligible new family receives one 14-day trial, beginning when its family is created, unless the offer expressly states a different start. No payment card is required for this app trial. It does not automatically become a paid subscription, and you do not need to cancel an unpaid trial to avoid a charge.

The trial is a one-time introductory offer for an eligible account and household. Canceling, changing plans or recreating a household does not entitle you to another trial. Do not create replacement accounts or use different email addresses to claim repeated introductory access. We may decline or end repeated or abusive trial claims.

If you choose to subscribe during the trial, the paid plan starts and the first charge is due when you confirm checkout. The remaining trial days do not postpone that charge or become a credit unless checkout expressly offers that arrangement. Without an active plan or other valid access, creating new items is restricted after the trial; existing records and account, export and plan-management features remain available under the app's current access rules. Trial expiry alone does not delete your family.

7. Paid subscriptions and automatic renewal

Chorzle Plus is a paid subscription for a family. Before you buy, checkout shows the selected monthly or annual plan, price, billing interval and any applicable tax or discount. Prices are in US dollars unless checkout expressly says otherwise. Stripe processes web payments; we do not receive your full card number. The terms and total shown when you confirm checkout control that purchase.

By affirmatively confirming a recurring subscription, you authorize the disclosed initial charge and subsequent recurring charges to your selected payment method. A monthly plan renews each month and an annual plan each year until canceled. We charge in advance for each billing period. This authorization comes from your purchase, not from joining the waitlist or using the unpaid trial.

Keep your billing details current. If payment fails, our processor may retry it and we may limit creation of new items while payment is unresolved. Any temporary grace access is not a new trial, debt forgiveness, or a promise of indefinite access. Account and plan-management options remain available so you can correct payment details or cancel.

8. Cancellation, changes and refunds

A parent can open plan management from the account and cancel renewal through the billing portal. Cancel before the next renewal to avoid its charge. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid billing period, and you retain paid access until then. If the portal is unavailable, email support@chorzle.com from the account email, or tell us if you cannot use that address so we can verify your authority another way. We treat the time your cancellation email reaches that address as the time of your request. If it arrives before a renewal, we will cancel that renewal, and if the renewal is charged before we process your request, we will refund that charge. Simply signing out, removing a home-screen icon or stopping use does not cancel a subscription.

A plan change may take effect immediately or at a later renewal and may produce a prorated charge or credit; review the dates and amount shown in the portal before confirming. Except where applicable law requires otherwise, paid periods are nonrefundable and we do not refund the unused part when you cancel voluntarily. This does not prevent correction of a duplicate or erroneous charge, a refund we expressly agree to, or any refund or withdrawal right the law provides. Contact support promptly about billing errors; nothing here requires you to give up your payment-dispute rights.

Deleting an entire family is separate from canceling renewal. Family deletion first attempts to stop billing and may be delayed if billing cannot be safely reconciled. Do not assume that a failed or unfinished deletion canceled a plan: check the portal or contact support. Removing one member does not cancel the family's subscription. Export anything you need before deleting.

We may change prices for future billing periods. For an existing subscription, we will give at least 30 days' notice of a price increase, or longer if law requires, and a way to cancel before it takes effect. If a renewal falls inside that notice period, the increase will not apply to that renewal. We will obtain additional consent where required.

9. Responsible use

Do not use Chorzle to exploit, threaten, abuse or harass anyone, to violate a child's privacy, or to share illegal content. Do not attempt unauthorized access, obtain another family's information, distribute malware, overwhelm the service, bypass payment or security controls, or scrape, resell or misrepresent the service. Do not reverse engineer it except to the extent applicable law permits. We may investigate, restrict access or remove content to address these activities.

If you find a security issue, report it privately to support@chorzle.com. Do not access other families' information, disrupt the service or make sensitive information public while reporting a concern. This reporting route does not authorize testing against other accounts.

10. A small developer: support, changes and availability

Chorzle is built and run by a small family business. Software can contain errors, and records, reminders, balances or displays can occasionally be wrong or out of date. Check anything important before relying on it, such as a balance before a real-world payment or a chore's suitability before assigning it, and tell us about mistakes you find. Our size, and the software tools we use to build and operate Chorzle, do not reduce any duty the law places on us.

You can contact the developer through support@chorzle.com with support questions and suggestions. We do not promise a response deadline, custom development, adoption of feedback, continuous personal availability or a service-level guarantee unless we separately agree in writing.

We may maintain, improve, replace or retire features. Internet access, device compatibility and service-provider availability affect operation; notifications and reminders may be delayed or missed. Keep your own copy of information you need to rely on. We do not promise uninterrupted access, a particular performance level, or that every device or future operating-system version will be supported.

If we permanently discontinue a paid service without providing the purchased period or an agreed replacement, we will stop future charges and refund the unused prepaid portion, calculated by the days remaining in the paid period. This does not limit other remedies required by law. Where reasonably possible, we will provide advance notice and a reasonable opportunity to export your records before discontinuation.

11. Warranties and limitations of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHORZLE IS PROVIDED AS IS AND AS AVAILABLE. WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR COMPLETELY SECURE. These exclusions do not affect any statutory guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Chorzle LLC and its members, officers, employees and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits, arising from the service or these Terms. Their total aggregate liability for claims arising from the service or these Terms is limited to the greater of the fees you paid to Chorzle for the service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or one hundred US dollars (US$100). These limits apply regardless of the legal theory, to the extent enforceable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence where that liability cannot be limited, or any other liability or consumer right that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit. If a limitation is not allowed where you live, it applies only to the lawful extent.

12. Third-party claims caused by misuse

To the extent permitted by law, an adult account holder agrees to indemnify Chorzle LLC and its members and personnel for reasonable losses and legal costs from a third party's claim caused by that adult's unlawful use, content that infringes another person's rights, or material breach of these Terms. This does not cover our own misconduct or liability we cannot lawfully shift to you, and it is not an indemnity imposed on a child.

We will give reasonable notice of the claim and allow reasonable participation in its defense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault or imposes an obligation on us without our written consent. We will not unreasonably withhold that consent.

13. Suspension and ending the agreement

You may stop using the service, cancel renewal and request deletion as described above. We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address a material breach, nonpayment, a security threat, harm to a person or a legal obligation. Where safe and practicable, we will explain the reason and provide a chance to resolve it. Urgent protective action may happen without advance notice. We will not use suspension to take away a nonwaivable refund or data-access right.

The provisions that reasonably need to survive the end of use, including accrued payment obligations, ownership, liability limitations, third-party claims and dispute provisions, survive to the extent permitted by law. Data handling remains subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

14. Changes to these Terms

We identify each version of these Terms by its version label and date. The version published immediately before this one remains available at chorzle.com/terms/versions/2026-09-25, and we will keep each version we replace readable in the same way. If you need an earlier version that applied to your account, contact support@chorzle.com. Publishing a new version on this page does not by itself change the agreement for an existing account.

For an existing account, a material change applies only after both of these have happened: we have given you notice of it through the app or your account email at least 30 days before it takes effect, and you have affirmatively accepted it, for example with an unchecked box or a clearly labeled button. Until then, the terms that previously applied to your account continue to apply. If a change is required by law or needed to address an urgent security risk, we may give shorter notice where that is lawful, and we will explain why.

Changes apply only going forward. They do not reach back to earlier use, charges already made, or disputes that arose before the change took effect. We will not charge you under terms you have not accepted. If you do not accept a change, you may keep using Chorzle under your previously applicable terms until the end of any period you have already paid for, or until you or we end the agreement as those terms allow. You can cancel renewal at any time, and you can export your records first. Corrections and clarifications that do not reduce your rights or add obligations may take effect when published.

15. Law, disputes and general terms

Michigan law governs these Terms, without its conflict-of-law rules, subject to any mandatory protections available where you live. Please contact support@chorzle.com so we can try to resolve a concern. You are not required to delay urgent relief, miss a legal deadline or give up rights to a regulator or payment provider while doing so.

Subject to mandatory local rights and any right to use a competent small-claims court, disputes may be brought in the state or federal courts with jurisdiction in Michigan. These Terms do not require arbitration or waive class-action rights. We have not imposed a shortened deadline for bringing a claim.

These Terms and any purchase terms you expressly accept form the agreement for the service. The Privacy Policy describes our data practices and does not expand the permission to use your data beyond applicable law. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive it. You may not assign this agreement without our consent. We may assign it in a genuine business transfer if the successor honors the obligations to you, subject to required notices and applicable law.

Questions, billing requests or legal notices may be sent to support@chorzle.com. The service provider is Chorzle LLC, not an individual member of the company acting personally, and no member personally guarantees the company's obligations under these Terms. This statement does not exclude anyone's liability where the law does not permit exclusion.
