Effective date: June 1, 2025
Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Trace Place iOS app and website at traceplace.app ("Services"). By downloading or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using Trace Place on behalf of a child, you agree to these Terms on that child's behalf.

Trace Place is intended for personal, non-commercial, family use. You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify any part of the app.

Children & Parental Consent
Trace Place is designed for use by children under parental supervision. If your child is using the app, you as the parent or guardian are responsible for overseeing their use of the Services. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent — see our Privacy Policy for full details.
In-App Purchases & Subscriptions
Some features may require a one-time purchase or subscription processed through Apple's App Store. All billing is handled by Apple under their terms and policies. You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in your Apple ID settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's refund policy.
We recommend enabling parental controls on your child's device to prevent unintended purchases.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without express written permission.

Disclaimers
The Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for any specific educational outcome. Educational progress depends on many factors beyond the app.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Trace Place and its developers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability to you will not exceed the amount you paid for the Services in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Changes to the Services & Terms
We may update the app or these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App Store update notes or in-app notices. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in the courts located in Texas, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
