Effective date: June 25, 2026

If you are accessing the Service on behalf of a family unit, you represent that you are a parent or legal guardian of any children whose information is entered into the Service.

2. Description of Service

ChoreTown is a family management application that allows parents and guardians to assign chores to children, track completion, award virtual "stars," and define rewards that children may redeem with earned stars. Chores can be set to recur on a schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly), assigned to one or more children or made available to the whole family, and, at your option, held for parent approval before stars are awarded.

The Service also includes a kiosk mode, an administrative dashboard with completion history and streak tracking, a library of chore templates, calendar integration, service email notifications, support for multiple parent or caregiver administrators per family, and optional Quick Stars features.

3. Account Registration

You must create an account using a valid email address or Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

You may create profiles for your children within your family account. You are solely responsible for all information you input about your children and for ensuring your use of the Service complies with applicable laws.

ChoreTown is designed to be used by parents and guardians on behalf of their children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.

Child profiles within ChoreTown may include a name, avatar emoji, and assigned color, no other personal information is required.
