Terms of Use

1. It's a beta

Hubbub is new and still being built. Features will change, some things will break, and we may pause or end the beta. Please keep your own copy of anything you can't afford to lose (for example, important dates should also live in your school's or work calendar). We're grateful for bug reports and ideas.

2. Who can use Hubbub

• A family is set up by a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18.
• That parent decides who joins, including kids and teens, and is responsible for how the kids in the family use Hubbub.
• Kids under 13 may use Hubbub only as part of a family a parent set up, with that parent's permission. See the Children section of our Privacy Policy.

3. Your account

• You sign in with a code sent to your email. Keep your email account secure; anyone who can read it can sign in as you.
• Kid PINs are for convenience on shared family devices, not strong security. Choose ones your kids won't share.
• Tell us right away at privacy@hubbubfamily.com if you think someone got into your account.

4. Your family's content

Everything your family adds, such as events, photos, lists, and notes, belongs to you. You give us permission to store, copy, process, and display it only as needed to run Hubbub for your family (for example, syncing an event to Google or turning a flyer photo into calendar entries). That permission ends when you delete the content, except for copies in backups that expire on their normal schedule.

Only upload things you have the right to share, and don't upload anything illegal or harmful.

5. Connected accounts

When you connect Google Calendar, Gmail, or (later) a bank through Plaid, you let Hubbub access that account as described when you connect it and in our Privacy Policy. Those services have their own terms. You can disconnect any time.

6. AI features

Hubbub uses AI (Claude, by Anthropic) to read flyers and schedules, sort mail, and write the morning brief. AI can get things wrong: a wrong date, a missed event, a mixed-up name. That's why a parent approves flyer events before they land on the calendar. Please double-check anything important.

7. Chores and kid money

The allowance balance in Hubbub is a record your family keeps. Hubbub does not hold, move, or pay out real money, and it is not a bank or payment service. Parents decide what chores are worth and settle up however they like.

8. Using Hubbub fairly

Please don't:

• try to get into another family's data, or test or break our security without our written permission;
• use Hubbub to harass anyone, or to store content that exploits children or breaks the law;
• copy, resell, or reverse engineer Hubbub, or overload it with automated requests.

If you find a security problem, please tell us at privacy@hubbubfamily.com. We appreciate it.

9. Price

Hubbub is free during the beta. If we start charging, we'll tell you before any charge, and you can choose whether to subscribe. Paid plans will have their own terms at that time.

10. Ending things

You can stop using Hubbub and ask us to delete your family's data at any time (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk, and we'll tell you why when we can. If we end the beta or shut Hubbub down, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice and a way to export your data.

11. Disclaimers

Hubbub is provided “as is” and “as available,” especially during the beta. To the extent the law allows, we don't promise it will always work, be error-free, or never miss a reminder, and we disclaim implied warranties such as fitness for a particular purpose. Don't rely on Hubbub alone for anything critical, like medication schedules or legal deadlines.

12. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, Hubbub isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses (like a missed event or lost data), and our total liability for any claim about Hubbub is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the last 12 months or $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we'll tell parents by email or in the app before it takes effect. Keeping on using Hubbub after that means you accept the new terms.

14. The legal bits

These terms are governed by the laws of [state], USA, and any dispute will be handled in the courts of [county, state], unless the law where you live says otherwise. If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
