Previous Terms of Service

What Chorzle is and who provides it

Chorzle is a family chore and rewards tracker that runs in your web browser, provided by Chorzle LLC ("Chorzle," "we," "us"). It helps a family set up chores and rewards, lets kids complete chores and earn in-app points called Chorzles, and lets a parent approve work and manage rewards. These terms cover both the Chorzle web app at app.chorzle.com and the chorzle.com website.

Who can use Chorzle

You must be an adult, at least the age of majority where you live to create a family and agree to these terms. A parent or guardian is the account holder and is responsible for the family, including how any children and other invited members use Chorzle. When registration features are available, you can invite other grown-ups (a co-parent, a grandparent, a caregiver) and add children, each at an access level you choose. New-login invitations are currently paused with registration. Sign-in supports a password or an emailed link; a parent can provision a child login. Please keep access to your email and your account safe.

Children and families

Chorzle is built for families and is set up and run by a parent or guardian. Children use Chorzle inside a family their parent created. Only add a child or provide a child login if you have the necessary parental or legal authority. A profile or general Terms acceptance does not by itself establish completion of every parental-consent step required by law. You can review family records and contact us to request correction, deletion or an end to further collection. Removing a member's access is not full erasure of historical records. How we handle children's data is covered in the Privacy Policy.

Chorzles are points, not money

Chorzles are an in-app system your family uses to recognize finished chores and to redeem the rewards you set up. They aren't money, aren't a stored-value or prepaid product, and can't be redeemed for cash or for anything outside your family. They hold no monetary value and cannot be bought or sold. Where enabled, family members can gift points within the household under the app's approval rules; these gifts do not transfer money. We don't hold, transmit, or owe any funds in connection with points. Your family decides what each chore is worth and what each reward costs.

Rewards are between you and your family

You decide which rewards to offer, what they cost in Chorzles, and whether to grant them. Rewards, and any allowance or money your family chooses to tie to chores, are an arrangement within your family. Chorzle helps you keep track, but we don't provide, fund, fulfill, or guarantee any reward, and we aren't responsible for whether a reward is given. Allowance, savings and interest balances are household records, not funds held or moved by Chorzle.

Your family's content

The chores, names, profiles, photos (including any chore-proof photos), and other details you add are yours. You give us permission to store, process, and show that content only to run Chorzle for your family and keep it in sync across your devices. You're responsible for what you add and for having the right to add it, including any photo of a person, and you agree not to add anything unlawful or anything you don't have the right to share. How your content is stored and protected is covered in the Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use

Please use Chorzle for your own family's chores and rewards. Don't use it unlawfully, don't try to disrupt, probe, or gain improper access to it or to other families' information, don't resell or misrepresent it, and don't use it to harm or harass anyone. We may suspend or end access that does these things.

Current availability

New-account registration is closed. Existing families can sign in, and visitors can join the waitlist. Chorzle continues to be maintained and improved; the waitlist does not guarantee an invitation or launch date.

Free trial and Chorzle Plus

Chorzle plans to offer Chorzle Plus, a paid subscription, with one 14-day trial for eligible families when registration opens. New account registration is closed. Joining the waitlist does not create an account, start a trial or authorize a payment. Billing is not switched on. When Chorzle Plus goes live: it's billed monthly or yearly through secure web checkout handled by a third-party payment processor under its own terms; a subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel; and you manage or cancel from your account. Canceling stops future renewals, and you keep Chorzle Plus through the end of the period you've already paid for.

The app trial does not require a payment card and does not automatically become a paid subscription. There is no trial charge to cancel. If you voluntarily subscribe during the trial, the first payment is due when you confirm checkout; remaining trial days do not postpone that charge unless checkout expressly offers otherwise. The trial is a one-time introductory offer for an eligible account and household; do not recreate accounts or use different email addresses to claim repeated trials. Except where the law says otherwise, payments aren't refundable and we don't pro-rate a period you've partly used.

Prices are shown in US dollars; checkout shows the total, including any applicable tax or discount, before you confirm. We may change Chorzle Plus pricing in the future, and any change applies only to future billing periods, never one you're already in, and we'll tell you before it takes effect.

Apps and app stores

Chorzle runs in a web browser and installs to your home screen, with nothing to download from an app store. If we later offer Chorzle through an app store, for example as an iPhone or Android app, that store's terms also apply to your use of that app, and any purchase you make through a store is handled by that store under its own rules.

Our brand and the service

The Chorzle name, the bee mascot, the app, this website, and their content belong to us. These terms don't give you any right to them beyond using Chorzle as intended.

Availability and disclaimers

Chorzle is provided as is and as available. We work to keep it running well, but we can't promise it will always be available, secure, or error-free, and it relies on internet access and on the service providers that help us run it, which are outside our direct control.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim warranties beyond those the law requires, and our total liability for any claim relating to Chorzle is limited to the greater of what you paid us for Chorzle in the twelve months before the claim or twenty US dollars. We aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses. Some places don't allow certain limits, so parts of this may not apply to you.

Suspending or ending use

You can stop using Chorzle at any time and delete your family's data from your account settings or by emailing us. We may suspend or end access to protect Chorzle, to protect other families, to address misuse, or to meet a legal requirement. If we ever discontinue a paid plan, we'll handle active subscriptions fairly.

Changes to Chorzle and to these terms

We may change, pause, or stop offering parts of Chorzle, and we may update these terms as Chorzle grows. When we make a meaningful change to these terms, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If you keep using Chorzle after a change takes effect, you're accepting the updated terms.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. We'll try in good faith to resolve any concern directly first, so please reach out to us before anything formal.

If something goes wrong because of how you used Chorzle

If a claim is brought against us because of the way you used Chorzle, because of content you added, or because you broke these terms or the law, you agree to cover the reasonable costs we face as a result.

The whole agreement

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about Chorzle. If any part of them turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce something right away, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later. The parts that by their nature should outlast your use of Chorzle, such as content ownership, the disclaimers, the liability limit, and governing law, continue to apply after you stop using it.
