Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Docalen, our mobile application and web service (the "Service"), operated by Docalen ("we", "our", or "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

2. The Service

Docalen is a shared family organizer: calendar, tasks, lists, notes, messages, files, and meal planning. Core functionality is free. Optional premium subscriptions add capacity and convenience features.

3. Your Account

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
• You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity that happens under your account.
• You can delete your account at any time from Settings, which removes your account and associated data as described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Your Content

• Everything you create in Docalen — tasks, events, lists, notes, messages, files — remains yours. We claim no ownership of it.
• You grant us the limited license needed to store, process, and display your content so the Service works (for example, syncing a shared list to the family members you invited).
• Content you share into a family is visible to that family's members according to the sharing controls in the app.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for anything unlawful or harmful;
• Upload content that infringes others' rights;
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users' data;
• Resell or misrepresent the Service as your own.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

• Premium subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store (iOS) or Stripe (web) at the price shown at purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time through your App Store subscription settings or from Docalen's web Settings; access continues to the end of the paid period.
• Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's terms.

7. Service Availability

We work to keep the Service reliable, but it is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features, and will give reasonable notice of material changes where practical.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose (or $50 if you paid nothing).

Reminders and notifications depend on your device settings, connectivity, and platform behavior — don't rely on the Service as your only safeguard for critical or safety-related matters.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; provisions that by their nature should survive (such as limitations of liability) survive.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for significant changes, notify you in the app. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
