Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 1 September 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and Alex Marin Design Ltd ("we", "us", "our") for your use of SPARC (the "App"). By creating an account or using the App, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

• Company: Alex Marin Design Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 13175379, registered office 4th Floor, 18 St. Cross Street, London EC1N 8UN.
• Contact: hello@getsparc.app.

1. Eligibility

You must be 18 or over to create an account. The App is for organising your own family. You may add other people, including children, only if you have the authority to provide their information. You are responsible for the people you add and the content you share within your family space.

2. Your account

Sign-in is passwordless or via Apple/Google. You are responsible for keeping access to your email or sign-in provider secure and for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@getsparc.app if you suspect unauthorised access.

3. The service

The App helps families organise events, tasks and "moments". Family spaces have roles (admin, editor, viewer) that control who can see and change things. Features may change, improve, or be withdrawn over time.

4. Subscriptions and payments

The App offers a free tier and a paid subscription ("Plus").

• Billing. Paid subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, under their terms. We do not process or see your payment details.
• Price. The current price and billing period are shown in the App / store at the point of purchase.
• Free trial. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Manage or cancel renewals in your Apple or Google account settings — deleting the App or your account does not cancel a store subscription.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. This does not affect your non-excludable statutory rights.
• Changes. We may change prices or plan features; changes apply to future billing periods and, where required, we will give notice.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the App unlawfully; upload content you have no right to share; upload unlawful, harmful or abusive content; attempt to access other families' data; or interfere with, reverse-engineer, or disrupt the App.

6. Your content

• You keep ownership of the content you add (including photos and "moments").
• You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process and display that content solely to provide the App to you and your family space. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to routine backups.
• You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to share it, including any images of children or other people.

7. Our intellectual property

The App, its design, branding, and software are owned by us or our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App under these Terms. You may not copy, resell, or create derivative works from it.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on third parties (including Apple, Google, and our hosting provider). Their terms and privacy practices apply to their parts of the service, and we are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

9. App store terms

If you download the App from the Apple App Store, the App Store's terms also apply, Apple is not responsible for the App or these Terms, and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries entitled to enforce these Terms against you. Equivalent Google Play terms apply to Android downloads.

10. Availability and "as is"

We aim to keep the App available and working, but we provide it "as is" and do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may suspend the App for maintenance, updates, or reasons beyond our control. This clause does not exclude any statutory rights you have as a consumer.

11. Our liability

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully be limited. As a consumer you have legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that these Terms do not affect.

Subject to that, we are not liable for loss that is not reasonably foreseeable, for loss of data caused by your device or third-party services, or for business losses (the App is for personal, family use). Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time (Settings → Security → Delete account). We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or use the App unlawfully. On termination, your licence to use the App ends and your data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for significant changes, notify you in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept them.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence.
