By creating an account, accessing, or using SplitKin (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy and Legal Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference. If you don’t agree, you must not use the Service.
We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will email registered users at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

- You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at sign-up and to keep it up to date.

3. The service, ‘as is’
SplitKin is a coordination tool for adult siblings sharing parent care. We provide a chat thread, AI-powered extraction of caregiving events, expenses, decisions, and tasks, a fairness dashboard, and supporting tools.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, or course of dealing. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and we will not be liable to you or any third party for doing so.
SplitKin is not a substitute for professional advice.It is not a medical, legal, financial, or tax advice service. The AI’s extractions are informational only and may be inaccurate. See our Legal Disclaimer for detail.
4. Your content
You retain ownership of the messages, photos, and other content you post in your care circle (“Your Content”). You grant SplitKin a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, reproduce, and process Your Content solely to operate and improve the Service for you and your invited family members.
You represent and warrant that:
- You have all rights necessary to grant the license above.
- Your Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
- Your Content is not unlawful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise objectionable, and does not contain malware.
We may, but are not obligated to, review, remove, or modify content that violates these Terms or applicable law. You are solely responsible for Your Content and the consequences of posting it.
5. AI processing
By posting messages in a circle, you authorize us to send the message text and minimum required context (poster name, parent name, member list, current date) to our AI provider (currently Anthropic, operating Claude) to extract structured caregiving data.
The AI may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or biased output. SplitKin makes no warranty as to the correctness of any AI-generated content. You and your family are solely responsible for verifying any extraction before relying on it. See the Legal Disclaimer for detail.
6. Subscriptions, billing, and refunds
- SplitKin is offered at $79 per year per family or $9.99 per month if billed monthly. The 14-day trial is free; no card is required to start.
- Subscriptions auto-renew at the stated price until you cancel. You can cancel any time from Settings → Subscription → Manage billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; we do not issue partial-period refunds.
- All sales are final unless required by law. Refund requests are evaluated case-by-case at our sole discretion. Email hello@splitkin.com.
- We may change pricing. Existing subscribers will receive at least 30 days’ notice by email before any change affects them.

SplitKin’s aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to SplitKin in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SplitKin and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debts, and expenses(including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Service; (ii) your violation of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, privacy, or other right; (iv) Your Content; or (v) any decision you or anyone in your circle makes based on information surfaced by the Service.
12. Third-party services
SplitKin integrates third-party services including Anthropic (AI), Supabase (database and authentication), Stripe (payments), and Resend (email). Their respective terms and privacy policies apply to your interactions with them. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, content, products, or services of any third party.
13. Mandatory arbitration and class waiver (US users)
If you are a resident of the United States, you and SplitKin agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for qualifying disputes. The arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and SplitKin waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding against the other party. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision will be null and void, but the rest of these Terms will remain in force.
30-day opt-out: you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@splitkin.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not otherwise affect your use of the Service.
14. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and SplitKin agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware.
15. Force majeure
SplitKin is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network or infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
16. Miscellaneous

- Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
- No waiver: our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
