Terms of Service

Effective date: July 14, 2026 · Applies to the Hi, Dad? / Hey, Mom? app and website.

The short version: Hi, Dad? is a free, early-beta life-admin app. Use it to stay on top of your own tasks, be a decent human, and remember that Dad and Mom are AI — helpful, but not your accountant, lawyer, or doctor. We're still building, so things may change, break, or reset. Here are the ground rules.

1. Who's providing this

Hi, Dad? (also "Hey, Mom?" — one app, two personas) is provided by an individual sole proprietor doing business as Hi, Dad? TODO: replace operator name; update to the LLC once formed ("we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using the app or website (together, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. Who can use it

You must be at least 18 years old and using the Service for yourself, in the United States. You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us and for keeping your login credentials secure. Don't share your account or let anyone under 18 use it.

3. What the Service is (and isn't)

Short version: It's a smart, personalized to-do engine plus an AI helper. It is not professional advice and not a guarantee that you'll never miss a deadline.

The Service uses the answers you provide (age, location, home/vehicle, life events) to surface life-admin tasks, deadlines, and steps that may apply to you, and offers an AI persona ("Dad" / "Mom") that can suggest, create, and manage tasks and chat with you. It is a personal-organization tool. You remain responsible for your own decisions, deadlines, and outcomes. The tasks we surface are informational suggestions, not a complete or guaranteed list of everything you personally must do.

4. Not professional advice

Short version: Dad and Mom are AI. Great for nudges and organization; not a substitute for a real professional.

The Service and its AI features do not provide financial, legal, medical, tax, insurance, or other professional advice, and no professional relationship is created by using them. AI responses can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date — verify anything important before you act on it, and consult a qualified professional for decisions that need one. You are solely responsible for how you use the information the Service provides.

5. Beta status — the Service may change or reset

Short version: We're in beta. We may add, change, or remove features, and in rare cases data could be reset. It's provided as-is with no uptime promise.

The Service is offered as an early beta. That means:

Features may be added, changed, limited, or removed at any time without notice.
The Service may be unavailable, interrupted, or reset from time to time. We do not guarantee any level of uptime, availability, or that data will never be lost. Keep your own copy of anything you can't afford to lose.
The beta is currently free, and AI chat is subject to usage limits (for example, a daily cap on the number of messages) to keep it sustainable. We may adjust these limits, and we may introduce paid plans in the future with notice.

6. Acceptable use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

Break the law, infringe others' rights, or use the Service to harm anyone.
Attempt to breach, probe, or circumvent our security, rate limits, or per-user data isolation.
Access or attempt to access another user's account or data.
Abuse, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer the Service, or use bots/automated means to create accounts or burn AI capacity.
Use the AI to generate unlawful, harmful, or abusive content, or to try to make it ignore its safety guidelines.

7. Your content

You keep ownership of the tasks, categories, and messages you create ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate and improve the Service for you — including sending relevant content to our AI provider to generate replies, as described in the Privacy Policy. You're responsible for Your Content and for not entering anything you don't have the right to share.

8. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time; deleting your account removes your associated data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, abuse the Service or its AI, or create risk or legal exposure for us or other users. We may also discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) during or after beta.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any task, reminder, or AI response is complete, accurate, or suitable for your situation.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, missed deadlines, or missed tasks, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US $100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

12. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA TODO: confirm governing-law state / venue with counsel, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and any disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located there, unless applicable law gives you the right to a different venue. If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. We'll change the effective date above and, for material changes, provide notice in-app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Contact

Questions about these Terms: admin@hidadapp.com TODO: confirm delivery once MX points at Google Workspace.

These Terms are a good-faith launch draft written specifically for how Hi, Dad? actually works. They have not been reviewed by an attorney and are not legal advice. Before or shortly after public launch — and especially once an LLC is formed, the support mailbox is live, and the governing-law/entity details are finalized — have them reviewed by qualified counsel.
