Terms of Use.
Last updated: 2026-08-17.
By installing or using Pamily, you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose. If something feels unclear, write to dev.puhgeh@gmail.com.
1. Licence to use the app
Pamily ("the app") is licensed, not sold, to you on a personal, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable basis. You may install it on devices you own or control and use it for personal household planning. Sync accounts are for adults: you must be 18 or older to create one.
2. Things you must not do
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract the source code, except where local law specifically permits.
- Remove or alter any copyright, trade-mark, or other proprietary notice.
- Use the app to store content that is unlawful, harassing, or that infringes someone else's rights.
- Use the app to break a court order or coercive-control situation (e.g. circumventing court-ordered communication restrictions between co-parents).
- Probe, abuse, or attempt to disrupt the sync backend, or circumvent subscription checks or family seat limits.
3. Your data is yours
You own everything you enter into the app. We do not claim any rights over the names, dates, photos, notes, or other content you store. The optional encrypted backup file is yours to keep, share with whoever you trust, or destroy. See the Privacy Policy for how the app handles data.
4. Intellectual property in the app itself
The app, its source code, its design system ("Komiks"), the Pamily wordmark, and this website are © Axel Trajano. The icon set (Material Symbols), font families (Bricolage Grotesque, Space Grotesk, JetBrains Mono, Caveat), and software dependencies remain the property of their respective authors and are used under their open-source licences.
4a. Subscriptions and in-app purchases
Pamily offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions that unlock the Sync feature — a Personal plan (your own devices, via your own iCloud/Google Drive) and Family plans (shared sync for a household, up to the seat limit of the plan you buy) — plus possible one-time in-app purchases for additional unlocks.
- Who handles billing: Apple, through the App Store, on iOS; Google, through Google Play, on Android. Pamily never sees your payment details.
- Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can cancel at any time in the store's subscription settings — links are provided inside the app under Settings → Sync & subscription. Deleting the app, leaving a family, or deleting your account does not cancel a subscription.
- Trial periods: if a free trial is offered, it converts into a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. The store will email you a renewal receipt each cycle.
- Refunds: handled by the store under its own refund policy (Apple Media Services Terms; Google Play Store Terms). For Google Play, customer requests in the first 48 hours route through the in-app help; after that, contact the store directly. For Apple, request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- What you keep on cancellation: all existing synced data remains readable on your devices. New writes stop syncing across devices, but local edits continue to work. If a Family plan lapses, sync pauses for every member of that family until the plan holder resubscribes. Local-only mode is fully usable without any subscription.
- Sharing with your family: one person (the plan holder) subscribes to a Family plan; everyone else joins their family by invitation from inside the app, free, up to the plan's seat limit. Pamily subscriptions are not offered through Apple Family Sharing or Google Play Family Library — the in-app family is the sharing mechanism.
- Families: the plan holder can disband the family, which permanently deletes the family's cloud data for everyone (each device keeps its local copy), can remove individual members (their seat is freed and the family's encryption key is rotated automatically), and can transfer the family to another member — sync then follows the new plan holder's own subscription. A member who leaves chooses whether their device keeps the family's data as local data or removes it, and can rejoin later with a new invite or reconnect automatically by signing in.
- Plan changes: a Personal plan never covers a family. If the plan holder switches from a Family plan to a Personal plan, the family is kept but every member's sync pauses until a Family plan returns (or the family is transferred or disbanded). The app warns before such a purchase.
- Price changes: any price change is communicated through the store before it takes effect; you have the option to cancel before the new price applies.
None of the foregoing limits your statutory consumer rights in your jurisdiction.
5. Updates
Future versions may add, change, or remove features. If a future version changes how data is processed, the change will be disclosed in the in-app changelog and reflected in the Privacy Policy before it takes effect.
6. No warranty
The app is provided "as is", without any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Pamily is a personal planning tool; it is not a medical record, a legal document repository, a financial advice service, or a safety-critical system. Do not rely on it as the only copy of anything important — keep a backup, and use the encrypted-backup feature regularly.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer's total liability arising out of or in connection with the app is limited to the amount you paid to acquire the current version (which, for free versions, is zero). The developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including data loss — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these terms limits any non-excludable rights you have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or comparable legislation in your country.
8. Termination
This licence ends automatically if you uninstall the app or breach these terms. You can also stop using the app at any time. Termination does not affect any rights that have accrued before it.
9. Third-party stores
If you obtained the app via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, the relevant store's terms apply in addition to these terms. Where there is a direct conflict, the store's terms govern the distribution channel, and these terms govern your use of the app itself.
10. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we will publish the new version here and update the "Last updated" date. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by good-faith discussion will be heard in the courts of Wellington, New Zealand.
