Terms of Service

Last updated: 1 June 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding contract between you ("you", the parent) and צעד צעד ("we", "us", "our") regarding your use of the צעד צעד ("Step by Step") mobile application (the "App").

By creating an account or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

To use the App you must:

1. Be at least 18 years old.
2. Be the parent or legal guardian of any child whose information you add to the App.
3. Have the legal authority to consent to the processing of that child's personal information.
4. Reside in a jurisdiction where use of the App is permitted by law.

Children may not create their own accounts. The App is designed to be operated by parents on behalf of their children.

2. Your Account

• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.
• You are responsible for all activity that takes place through your account, including your child's interaction with the App on your device.
• You must provide accurate information at signup and keep it updated.
• One person, one account. Do not share accounts.

If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately at stepshabitsapp@gmail.com.

3. Parental Responsibility

By using the App you acknowledge and agree that:

1. You decide what information about your child to add to the App.
2. You are responsible for supervising your child's use of the App on your device.
3. You consent on behalf of your child to the processing described in our Privacy Policy.
4. You will not use the App to coerce, punish, or harm your child.
5. The App is a tool to support healthy habits, not a substitute for professional guidance, medical advice, mental-health treatment, or parenting advice.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose
• Impersonate another person, including another parent or child
• Upload content that is illegal, harmful, abusive, defamatory, sexually explicit, or violates anyone's rights
• Upload photos of children who are not your own
• Attempt to access another user's account or data
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the App
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the App
• Interfere with, disrupt, or overload our servers
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the App

We may suspend or terminate your account, without refund, if you violate these rules.

5. Content You Provide

You retain ownership of any content (photos, names, habit data) you upload. By uploading, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and process that content solely to operate the App for you. We do not use your content for marketing, advertising, or AI training.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to upload any content you provide, including photos of your child.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

The App is offered as an auto-renewable subscription. Some features require an active subscription.

• Billing. Subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and managed on our side through RevenueCat. We never receive or store your payment card details.
• Free trial. If a free trial is offered, the subscription begins automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you purchase a subscription during the trial.
• Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
• Price and period. The subscription title, length, and price are shown on the in-app purchase screen (the paywall) and confirmed by the App Store or Google Play before you pay. Prices may vary by region and may change; we will give notice of any price change as required by the platform.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your Apple ID or Google Play account settings, or via Settings → Subscription in the App, which links you to the platform's management screen. Cancellation stops the next renewal; it does not retroactively refund the current period.
• Refunds. All purchases are processed by Apple or Google and are subject to their refund policies. We cannot directly issue refunds for app-store purchases; please request refunds through Apple or Google.

7. Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee that the App will be available 24/7. We may:

• Perform maintenance with advance notice when possible
• Modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time
• Limit or restrict features by region

We are not liable for any loss caused by service interruption, delay, or feature change.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its software, design, logos, text, and graphics, is the property of צעד צעד and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App.

9. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services (e.g., Supabase, Cloudinary, the Apple App Store, Google Play). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for the availability or content of third-party services.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

The App is not medical, psychological, or behavioral-therapy advice. If your child needs professional support, consult a qualified professional.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, צעד צעד AND ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless צעד צעד from any claim, demand, loss, or damage (including legal fees) arising out of:

• Your breach of these Terms
• Your misuse of the App
• Content you upload (including photos and information about your child)
• Your violation of any third party's rights

13. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or for any other reason on reasonable notice. On termination:

• Your account and child data will be deleted in line with our Privacy Policy
• Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (e.g., Sections 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14) will remain in effect

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the competent courts of Israel, except where a non-waivable consumer-protection law of your country grants you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

If you are a consumer in the EU, the European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you in-app and by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the App after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and us.
• Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms. We may assign ours to an affiliate or successor.
