Terms of Service

1. About the Service

HeyKit is a family budget and household organiser. It lets you track household expenses and budgets, keep shared lists, manage pocket money, schedules, documents and household staff, scan receipts, and get reminders.

HeyKit is available on the web at heykit.io and as an iPhone app.

2. Account and Access

You sign in with Google, with an emailed sign-in link, or with your email address and a password. By signing in, you agree to these terms.

Each account belongs to a family group. You may invite other people to join your family. All members of a family share access to the same expenses, budgets, schedules, and documents.

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure. We are not liable for unauthorised access resulting from compromised credentials.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use HeyKit only for lawful, personal, household financial management purposes. You may not:

• Use the service for commercial purposes or on behalf of a business
• Attempt to access other families' data
• Upload malicious files or attempt to compromise the service
• Use automated tools to scrape or overload the service

4. Your Data

You retain ownership of all data you enter into the service, including expenses, receipts, documents, and schedules. We do not claim any rights to your content.

See our Privacy Policy for details on how we store and protect your data.

5. Receipt Scanning

The receipt scanning feature uses third-party AI services (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI) to extract text from receipt images. When you scan a receipt, the image is sent to the configured AI provider for processing. We do not store receipt images with these providers beyond the duration of the request.

6. Telegram Notifications

If you connect a Telegram account, we store your Telegram chat ID to send you daily schedule summaries, budget alerts, and reminders. You can disconnect at any time from your profile settings, which will stop all notifications and delete the stored chat ID.

7. Service Availability

We aim to keep HeyKit available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The app works offline as a PWA, so core functionality remains available even during server downtime.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes.

8. Limitation of Liability

HeyKit is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any financial decisions made based on data in the app, or for any loss of data beyond our reasonable control.

The service is a budgeting tool, not financial advice. You should not rely solely on this app for financial planning.

9. Plans and Subscriptions

HeyKit has a free plan and paid plans (Family and Family Plus). A plan belongs to the whole family: when one member subscribes, everyone in the family gets that plan's features. What each plan includes, such as the number of AI actions a month, document storage and staff, is shown in the app before you buy.

Subscriptions bought in the iPhone app are sold and billed by Apple through your Apple ID. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period (monthly or yearly) at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your iPhone's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep the plan until the end of the period you've paid for. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies.

If a free trial is offered, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription. AI top-ups are one-off purchases that add AI actions to your family; they don't expire and aren't refundable once used.

If a family moves to a plan that doesn't include a feature, nothing is deleted: existing documents, staff records and history stay available to view, but new uploads, clock-ins or captures for that feature stop until the family upgrades again. Deleting your HeyKit account does not cancel an Apple subscription — cancel it in Settings first.

We may change what plans include or cost. Price changes for an existing subscription follow Apple's rules, including notice and, where required, your consent.

10. Account Deletion

You can delete your account in the iPhone app (Profile → Delete account), or ask us to by emailing support@heykit.io. Your account is removed immediately; copies in encrypted backups expire within 30 days.

If you are the last member of a family, deleting your account will also delete the family and all shared data.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Western Cape.
