Terms of Service

The short version

• Unify helps you organize your life and your family's. Your information is yours; we never sell it.
• Accounts are for adults 18 and over. Kids use Unify only through a login a parent makes for them.
• Use Unify kindly and lawfully, and keep your password to yourself.
• Unify is offered as it is. It helps you plan; it isn't medical, nutrition, legal, money or safety advice.
• You can stop using Unify and delete your account whenever you like.

Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and the family that makes Unify (“we”). By creating an account or using Unify, on the website or in the phone app, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Unify.

In these terms, “parent” means a parent or legal guardian, and “kid” means a child under 18 using a login a parent made.

Who can have an account

• You must be at least 18 to create an account, whether for yourself, a household or a family, or as a helper. Joining someone else's family or household with an invite code needs your own adult account too.
• A kid's login can only be made by a parent or guardian. By making one, you confirm you're that kid's parent or legal guardian, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy for them, and you're responsible for how they use Unify.
• You decide who gets a trusted-helper invite or a babysitter link, and you're responsible for sharing them with the right people. Anyone with a babysitter link can open it until it ends or you turn it off.
• Give true details when you sign up, keep your password private, and tell us if you think someone else is using your account.

Your information and what you add

Everything you and your family add (events, schoolwork, photos, posts, receipts, messages and the rest) stays yours. You let us store it, show it to the people you've chosen, and process it only as needed to run Unify, as the Privacy Policy describes. We never sell it or use it for advertising. Only add things you have the right to add, and only add other people's details (like a babysitter's or a kid's) when you're allowed to.

Using Unify fairly

Please don't:

• post anything unlawful, hateful, threatening, sexual or meant to bully, especially where kids can see it;
• try to reach another family's information, get around the privacy rules, or break or overload Unify;
• copy, resell or scrape Unify, or use it to send spam.

We may remove content or turn off an account that breaks these rules, and we'll tell you why when we can.

Reporting and blocking

On the family feed, you can report a kid's post or comment that worries you, and block someone so you no longer see their posts and comments (kids can block other kids, not parents). Reports go to the family's parents, who can remove what was reported. If something puts someone in danger, contact local emergency services first.

Copyright

Only post photos, videos and words you have the right to share. If you believe something in Unify uses your copyrighted work without permission, contact us (see Contact below) with what it is, where it appears and how to reach you, and we'll look into it and remove it if it shouldn't be there.

Helpful, not professional advice

• The Unify Food Score, allergy notes and meal ideas are a general guide for comparing foods, based on public data that can be wrong or out of date. They aren't medical or nutrition advice. Always check the package, and ask a doctor or dietitian about your own diet and allergies.
• Weather, alerts and leave times come from outside services and estimates. They can be late or wrong; follow official warnings and your own judgment.
• Emergency cards show only what a parent typed in. They don't replace calling for help.
• Receipts, spending and money lessons help you keep track and learn; they aren't tax, legal or financial advice.
• School tools (planners, grades, attendance, school IDs) help you keep records; following your state's homeschool rules is still up to you.
• Features that use Claude (reading a receipt, a label or a flyer, and the ✨ assistant) can make mistakes. Check what they suggest before saving it. They work only on Unify's website, except Smart Capture (reading a flyer, a photo or a note into a plan): grown-ups can use it in the phone app too, after allowing it there.

Other services

Some features rely on other companies (calendars, maps, weather, food data, stores and others named in the Privacy Policy). Their own terms apply to them, and we aren't responsible for their service or what they show.

Unify as it is

We work hard to keep Unify running and your information safe, but Unify is provided “as is” and “as available”, without promises that it will always be available, error-free or fit for a particular purpose. Please keep your own copy of anything you can't afford to lose.

If we learn that a family's information was reached by someone who shouldn't have it, we'll tell the families affected without undue delay, say what happened and what we're doing about it, and follow the law on data-breach notices.

As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect or unexpected losses from using Unify (like a missed event or a lost photo), and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to what you paid us for Unify in the 12 months before it, or US$50 if you paid nothing. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete my account; what goes with it is explained there and in the Privacy Policy. We may close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. If we ever stop running Unify, we'll give you notice and time to save your information first.

Changes

We may update these terms as Unify grows. The date at the top changes when we do, and for anything important we'll tell you in the app (in What's new) before it applies. Using Unify after that means you accept the new terms.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If a disagreement can't be settled by talking it through with us first, it will be handled in the state or federal courts in Texas, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it there. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
