Effective October 24, 2026
These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Homeroom for Family, LLC, doing business as Homeroom HQ, a North Carolina limited liability company based in Charlotte, North Carolina (“homeroom,” “we,” “us” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of our websites, applications and related services, including homeroom for family and homeroom for students, collectively the “Service.”
You accept these Terms when you affirmatively agree to them. If you do not agree, do not create an account, join as an independently signing-in member or purchase a subscription. The Subscription & Billing Terms form part of this agreement for paid subscriptions and trials. Our Privacy Policy explains our information practices; accepting these Terms does not replace any separate consent required by law.
The Billing Terms control a conflict about pricing, trials, renewal, cancellation or refunds. These Terms control other contractual matters. Neither document overrides rights or obligations that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement to create a family Household, create a Student Space, independently join a Student Space or purchase a subscription. The Service is offered to residents of the United States. You must provide accurate information and must not evade an eligibility check.
• Family Household: A family account used to coordinate household schedules, tasks, meals, groceries and related activities. Its adult administrator is the “Family Account Holder.” The Household may include adult members and profiles for children or other people whose information the adult manages.
• Student Space: A student account used by an adult student to organize their own activities. It may be used by one person or shared with adult roommates, a partner, a parent or other invited adult peers. Each independently participating student member has their own sign-in. A member is not a dependent merely because another member created the Student Space.
• Account Administrator: The adult with administrative controls over a Household or Student Space. Administrative powers, including subscription management, invitations and deletion, are distinct from ownership of another person's information.
The adult-account requirement does not prohibit a child from using the limited, adult-managed task-completion access available within the family edition. That access is not independent registration or permission to create a Student Space. The responsible adult must supervise its use and have appropriate authority concerning the child's participation and information.
The Service uses passwordless email authentication for independently signing-in users. Family child access uses the limited invitation and session mechanism provided for that purpose. An invited adult Student Space member signs in as themselves, not as a managed child profile.
You are responsible for safeguarding your email account, devices, sign-in messages and access links; using only access you are authorized to use; and promptly notifying support@homeroomforfamily.com of suspected unauthorized access. Do not share authentication credentials or represent yourself as another person.
These responsibilities do not make you liable for conduct you did not cause or authorize, or excuse homeroom from its own obligations under applicable law. We may require reasonable verification before changing access, acting on a sensitive request or responding to a dispute.
Before adding or sharing information about another person, you must have the rights and authority necessary to do so. When you create a child profile or authorize a child's participation, you represent that you are their parent or legal guardian, or have the authorization legally necessary for that activity. Merely living with someone does not establish authority to act for them.
Enter only information reasonably needed for household coordination. Do not use homeroom to monitor, harass or expose another person without authority. A person's participation in a Household does not transfer ownership of their information or waive their privacy rights.
For ordinary Household administration, homeroom takes instructions from the Family Account Holder through the account's administrative controls. Other people may still exercise rights available to them under applicable law by contacting privacy@homeroomforfamily.com.
Removing a person ends their access and deletes their personal content and sign-in. Household-level items remain without that person's name, and events involving several people remain with the removed person detached. Whole-Household deletion has different consequences, described under “Removal and account deletion.”
A departing guest, partner or adult child should coordinate removal with the Family Account Holder or contact us about their own information. Becoming an adult does not automatically transfer account control, create a new account or authorize continuing use of someone's information against their legal rights.
Homeroom is a coordination service, not an arbiter of custody, divorce, ownership or interpersonal disputes. Administrative access does not establish a person's legal entitlement in such a dispute.
We may maintain the existing administrative arrangement, restrict disputed access, request evidence of authority or comply with binding legal process as reasonably necessary to protect affected people and the Service. We do not promise to transfer an account on one person's request or determine whose account of a dispute is correct. Contact legal@homeroomforfamily.com for a legal or account-authority dispute; mandatory rights and lawful orders remain controlling.
A Student Space ordinarily contains one adult student's information. If others join, they participate as adult peers with their own sign-ins and member access to shared information. Inviting a parent does not make that parent the student's guardian for purposes of the Service, owner of the student's content, or automatic controller of the student's account.
Each member is responsible for their own content and authorized actions. The person who pays does not acquire ownership of other members' information or an unrestricted right to disclose it. Administrative control remains subject to these Terms and affected members' legal rights.
Sharing a Student Space means that other members can use the shared features and information made available to members. Use private-item controls where appropriate and do not enter information into shared areas that you lack authority to share. Removing one person deletes that person's personal content and access without deleting the remaining members' shared account.
A membership invitation admits its recipient as a member, not merely a viewer. The Account Administrator may configure an invitation's expiry and require approval before joining. An expired invitation does not grant access; a request requiring approval remains pending until approved. Student joins must also satisfy the student eligibility check.
Resetting an invitation invalidates previously issued invitation links. It does not, by itself, remove someone who already joined. Use the member-removal controls to end an existing member's access.
Share my week publishes a read-only page showing the link creator's week. Its recipient needs no account and receives no membership, sign-in privilege or ability to change information. Items marked private are excluded.
Only the creator can see, manage or revoke their share links and associated opening counts. Ownership of a link cannot be transferred. Available expiry settings depend on the plan; revoked or expired links stop providing access immediately.
Anyone who obtains a functioning share link can open it. Exclusion from search-engine indexing is not an identity check and does not prevent a recipient from copying a link, taking a screenshot or retaining information already viewed. Revocation stops further access through homeroom; it cannot recall copies made by recipients.
A calendar-subscription address grants read-only access to its calendar feed. It is a different credential from a membership invitation and cannot be used to join the account. Treat it as private, because possession provides access to the feed's content.
You are responsible for choosing appropriate recipients and permissions for your authorized sharing. Nothing in this section excuses a failure of homeroom's own access controls.
“Your Content” means information and materials you submit to the Service, including schedules, tasks, notes and other entries. You retain whatever ownership rights you have in Your Content. Entering information about another person does not make you its owner or entitle you to assign that person's rights.
You grant homeroom a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit and display Your Content only as necessary to provide, maintain and support the Service, carry out your authorized sharing instructions and comply with law, consistent with the Privacy Policy. We may permit our service providers to exercise this license solely for those purposes. This license is not permission to sell Your Content or use it for third parties' advertising.
The license ends as to content deleted from the Service, except for processing required by law. It does not make homeroom responsible for copies lawfully obtained by other users or recipients before deletion. We do not undertake to verify the accuracy or authority behind every entry; you must not submit information you lack the right to provide.
If you voluntarily send product suggestions or feedback, you authorize us to use that feedback without payment or an obligation to implement it. This permission does not transfer ownership of unrelated personal content or authorize disclosure contrary to the Privacy Policy.
The Service, software, interfaces, designs, branding and other materials supplied by homeroom or its licensors are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for Your Content and rights expressly granted here, all rights are reserved.
While you comply with this agreement, we grant you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable permission to use the Service for its intended household or personal student-coordination purposes. No software or intellectual property is sold to you. You may not use our branding in a manner suggesting endorsement or affiliation without written authorization.
You must not:
• Violate rights: Use the Service unlawfully; infringe intellectual-property, privacy or publicity rights; impersonate anyone; or enter information about others without authority.
• Harm or exploit others: Harass, threaten, stalk, exploit children, disclose information to facilitate abuse, or use the Service to evade another person's access choices.
• Defeat controls: Access another person's account, private content or links without authorization; bypass eligibility, billing or security restrictions; or reuse credentials for an unauthorized purpose.
• Disrupt the Service: Introduce malicious code, interfere with operation, overload systems, scrape personal information, or carry out unauthorized security testing.
• Misappropriate the Service: Resell access, reproduce the Service for commercial distribution, or reverse-engineer protected software except to the extent a restriction is prohibited by law.
• Misuse free text: Store unnecessary health, financial-account or other highly sensitive information in general-purpose entries. Homeroom is not designed as a clinical or regulated-records system.
Report suspected misuse or security issues to support@homeroomforfamily.com. These restrictions do not prohibit good-faith conduct protected by applicable law.
Paid plans automatically renew unless canceled as described in the Billing Terms. Purchasing, using or sharing an account does not authorize a different person's payment method without that person's permission. Only the person with billing authority may manage the subscription.
The Service relies on third-party hosting, authentication, payment and other services. Their independent services may be subject to their own terms. We do not warrant the accuracy of an address suggestion, the suitability of a home-service provider entered by a user, or the operation of an external calendar or device.
Address suggestions use Google Places. Use of that functionality is subject to the applicable Google Terms of Service and Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms, incorporated for the Google-provided functionality. Google's handling of information is addressed in its Privacy Policy; homeroom's own handling remains governed by our Privacy Policy.
In-app deletion is available on supported platforms, including iPhone. Whole-account deletion removes the Household or Student Space, its contents and every sign-in attached to it. An administrator must not use whole-account deletion where they lack authority to remove other members' information or accounts.
Removing one person is different. It immediately ends that person's access and deletes their sign-in and personal events, tasks, celebrations, study records and personal notes. Household-level shopping lists, meal plans and other shared entries remain without the removed person's name; multi-person events remain with that person removed.
Whole-account deletion cancels any associated subscription and deletes the payment processor's customer record, including the email address and stored payment method. Independent invoice and transaction records retained by the payment processor are described in the Privacy Policy. Deletion does not create a refund entitlement beyond the Billing Terms and applicable law.
Deletion is not a substitute for resolving competing legal rights. Contact privacy@homeroomforfamily.com if you need action on your own information and cannot use the relevant account controls. Do not assume that deleted content or access can be restored.
We may modify the Service, but changes to an existing paid subscription's material features or price are subject to the Billing Terms. We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address unlawful activity, a material breach, security risk, unauthorized payment, conflicting authority or a legal requirement. We may terminate an account for an unresolved material breach or serious misuse.
Where practical and lawful, we will give notice and a reasonable opportunity to address a remediable violation. We may act without advance notice where delay would create risk, interfere with an investigation or violate law. You may contact support to request review; this does not guarantee restoration.
If we discontinue a paid service or terminate a compliant paid account for our convenience, we will refund prepaid fees attributable to the unused portion of the current paid period. We do not promise a refund following termination for your material breach, except as required by law.
Termination ends the permission to use the Service. Payment obligations already incurred, limitations and exclusions, valid indemnity obligations arising from pre-termination conduct, dispute provisions and terms intended to survive will survive, subject to applicable limitation periods and non-waivable rights.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” Homeroom disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and noninfringement, and warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, except to the extent they cannot lawfully be disclaimed.
We do not warrant uninterrupted, timely or error-free operation; that every defect will be corrected; that every reminder, calendar update or third-party message will arrive; or that every item of user or third-party content will be accurate. Maintain independent arrangements for important deadlines, safety matters and obligations.
Homeroom is not an emergency, medical, legal, childcare, financial or academic-advising service. It does not guarantee safety, grades, task completion or household outcomes. No informal advice or support communication creates a warranty not expressly included in this agreement.
These disclaimers do not contradict our express commitments, excuse misleading statements, or disclaim duties that cannot be waived under applicable law.
“Protected Parties” means homeroom and its affiliates, officers, managers, members, employees, contractors, licensors and service providers, solely in their capacities connected with the Service.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Protected Parties will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the Service or this agreement, including lost profits, lost business opportunities, loss of goodwill, or loss of data to the extent that loss constitutes an excluded category of damages.
The Protected Parties' aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or this agreement will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid homeroom for the Service during the 12 months immediately preceding the event first giving rise to the claim. Related claims do not create separate caps. Fees paid on your behalf for the affected account count for this purpose.
These provisions apply regardless of the legal theory, even if a Protected Party was advised that the loss was possible, and to the extent permitted by law even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Neither the exclusions nor the cap applies to fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by a Protected Party; liability that cannot lawfully be limited; or refunds and other payment adjustments expressly owed under the Billing Terms. Nothing limits non-waivable statutory remedies or a regulator's authority. If applicable law does not allow a particular limitation, only that limitation is inapplicable to the extent required.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Protected Parties against third-party claims and resulting damages, judgments, settlements and reasonable legal fees and expenses, to the extent caused by:
• Your unlawful use of the Service or material violation of these Terms.
• Content you provide or disclose without the rights or authority necessary to do so.
• Your infringement, misappropriation or violation of another person's rights.
• Your intentional misuse of another person's account, information, access link or payment method.
This obligation does not apply merely because another person is in your Household or Student Space. It does not cover a Protected Party's own negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of this agreement, a claim you bring against homeroom concerning its own conduct, or liability that law prohibits shifting to you.
We will notify you reasonably promptly of a claim; delay reduces your obligation only to the extent it materially prejudices the defense. Subject to any conflict of interest, you may control the defense with qualified counsel reasonably acceptable to us. We may participate through our own counsel at our own expense, except where separate counsel is reasonably necessary because of a conflict attributable to the claim for which you are responsible. We will reasonably cooperate at your expense.
You may not settle a claim in a way that admits wrongdoing by, imposes nonmonetary obligations on, or fails to fully release a Protected Party without that party's written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. We may take over a defense at our expense; this does not expand your obligations.
North Carolina law governs this agreement and related disputes, without applying conflict-of-law rules that would select another jurisdiction's law. This choice does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections applicable in your place of residence.
Before filing a claim, either party may request informal resolution by sending the other a description of the dispute and requested relief. Send notices to homeroom at legal@homeroomforfamily.com. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter for 30 days after receipt. This process does not bar urgent relief, regulatory complaints, small-claims proceedings or action necessary to preserve a deadline.
Unless mandatory law requires another forum, disputes will be heard in the state courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, or, where federal jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Each party consents to those courts' personal jurisdiction. Either party may use an otherwise competent small-claims court.
This agreement does not impose mandatory arbitration, waive the right to a jury where available, or require a consumer to waive a non-waivable right to pursue representative or public relief.
We may revise these Terms prospectively. For a material change affecting existing users, we will provide notice by email or a prominent notice in the Service before the change takes effect, ordinarily at least 30 days in advance. A shorter period may apply where necessary to comply with law or address an urgent security or legal risk.
Changes will not retroactively alter an accrued claim or authorize a new use of information inconsistent with applicable notice and consent requirements. We will obtain fresh assent where required. Billing changes remain subject to the more specific Billing Terms and applicable notice rules.
These Terms and the Billing Terms constitute the entire agreement concerning contractual use of the Service and replace prior agreements on that subject when validly accepted, without extinguishing accrued rights or promised price protections. A specific offer accepted at checkout governs its disclosed price and promotional terms, subject to mandatory law.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent the agreement can operate lawfully. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Neither party's delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control excuses amounts already owed, legally required remedies or its own failure to take reasonable protective measures.
You may not assign this agreement or transfer an account without our written consent. We may assign it in connection with a reorganization, merger or sale of the relevant business, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law. No assignment reduces your accrued rights.
The Protected Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries only of the protections expressly afforded to them. Otherwise, this agreement creates no third-party beneficiary rights. Nothing creates a partnership, agency, employment or fiduciary relationship between you and homeroom.
