KidJar is intended for use by families. Parents or legal guardians ("Parents") must create and manage accounts. Children may only use the app under parental supervision and with verifiable parental consent, in accordance with COPPA and applicable child privacy regulations.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create a parent account on KidJar. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

KidJar is a family-oriented application that helps parents teach children responsibility, financial literacy, and self-discipline through:

• Creating and assigning age-appropriate chores to children
• Tracking chore completion and awarding points (stars)
• Setting up custom rewards that children can redeem with earned points
• Piggy bank feature for children to save points toward goals
• Point request system for children to earn points through self-initiated learning and growth
• Family dashboard for tracking progress and celebrating achievements
• Push notifications for chore reminders, completions, and point requests

KidJar is provided free of charge. We may introduce optional premium features in the future, but core functionality will always remain free for all families.
