Terms of Use
These are the ground rules for using Stash Stars and this website. By using them, you agree to these terms. Please read the Privacy Policy too.
1. Who we are
Stash Stars is run by Sam Bartolotta, LLC, doing business as Sam Bartolotta - Web Design (“we”, “us”).
2. Who can use it
Stash Stars is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create a family account. Kids use it only through their parent’s family, in kid mode, and never create their own accounts.
3. Your family account
The test version is for parents or guardians, who set it up for their own family. Once family accounts open, the rest of this section applies to them.
You’re responsible for your account, your sign-in details, your parent PIN and for how your kids use the app. You decide what information to put in, so please keep to a first name or nickname for kids and keep personal details out of notes. Make sure the information you enter is yours to share.
4. The test version
Stash Stars is in testing and is provided “as is”. Things may change, break or be removed, and we may stop offering the test at any time. The one-device test version keeps your data only on that device, so it can be lost if you clear your browser data, delete the app, or your browser clears site data on its own. Save a backup from Settings if you want to keep it.
5. Stars, rewards and allowance
Stars are points inside your family and have no cash value. Rewards and chores are agreed between you and your kids, and giving a reward is up to you. The allowance “$ mode” is only a tracker that shows what you owe at the rate you set. Stash Stars doesn’t hold, send or pay money.
6. Your content
What you enter (names, chores, photos) stays yours. You give us permission to store it and show it to your family so the app can work, and nothing more. Only add photos you’re allowed to share.
7. Using it fairly
- Don’t break the law or use Stash Stars to harm, harass or embarrass anyone.
- Don’t try to get into other families’ information, or disrupt or reverse-engineer the service.
- Don’t put things in the app that are unlawful or that you don’t have the right to share.
8. Paid plans
Stash Stars is free while we test it. If we offer paid plans later, prices and billing terms will be shown before you pay for anything.
9. Ending your account
You can stop using Stash Stars and delete your family at any time (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk.
10. What we promise, and what we don’t
We try to make Stash Stars work well, but we can’t promise it will always be available, error-free or keep your data safe from every possible problem. It’s a chore and rewards helper, not a childcare, safety or parenting service. To the extent the law allows, Stash Stars is provided “as is” without warranties, we aren’t responsible for indirect or consequential losses, and our total responsibility to you for anything connected to the service is limited to what you’ve paid us in the 12 months before the problem, or $100 if you haven’t paid us anything. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may apply to you differently.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas, and any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Arkansas.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. If we make a change that matters, we’ll update the date above and, for account holders, tell you before it takes effect. Continuing to use Stash Stars after that means you accept the change.
