Terms of Service
Last updated: August 24, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Happy Firsts mobile and web application (the “Service”), operated by Happy Firsts (“Happy Firsts,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the Service. The Service is intended for parents and guardians to record and share information about their children. By using the Service, you represent that you are 18 or older and that any information you provide about a child is provided by that child’s parent or legal guardian, or with their permission.
2. Your account
You are responsible for the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@happyfirsts.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
3. License to use the Service
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service, or reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code, except where permitted by law.
4. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you create or upload, including milestones, notes, photos, and comments (“Your Content”). You grant Happy Firsts a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely as needed to operate and provide the Service to you and the people you share it with.
You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the right to upload it, including the right to upload photos and information about any child or other person it depicts. Do not upload content you do not have the right to share.
5. Sharing and invited users
The Service lets you invite family members and caregivers to a child’s profile and assign them an access level. You are responsible for who you invite and what they can see. People you invite may view, and depending on their role contribute to, the content on that profile.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose;
- upload content that is illegal, infringing, or that violates another person’s privacy or rights;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service, or scrape or harvest data from it; or
- misrepresent your identity or your relationship to a child whose information you enter.
7. Subscriptions and billing
Happy Firsts is free to use. We also offer an optional paid subscription, Happy Firsts Premium, which unlocks additional features such as the pediatrician checkup report. Premium is never required to log milestones, upload photos, or share a profile with family.
Price and automatic renewal. Premium costs $5.00 USD per month or $39.99 USD per year, plus tax where applicable. Your subscription renews automatically at the same price at the end of every billing period, and the payment method you provided is charged for each renewal, until you cancel. Monthly plans renew every month and annual plans renew every year, on the date you first subscribed.
How to cancel. You may cancel at any time, for any reason. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period. Where you cancel depends on where you subscribed:
- Apple App Store: cancel in your device’s App Store subscription settings. Apple, not Happy Firsts, manages billing for those subscriptions.
- Google Play: cancel in your Google Play subscription settings. Google, not Happy Firsts, manages billing for those subscriptions.
- Purchased on the web: cancel in the app’s subscription settings, or email us at support@happyfirsts.com and we will cancel it for you.
Cancelling stops future charges. It does not shorten the period you have already paid for — you keep Premium access until the end of that period, after which your account returns to the free tier. Your milestones, photos, and other content are not deleted when a subscription ends.
Refunds. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are subject to that store’s refund policy, and refund requests must be made to Apple or Google. For subscriptions purchased on the web, contact support@happyfirsts.com. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide partial refunds for the unused portion of a billing period.
Price changes. We may change subscription prices. If we do, we will give you notice before the change takes effect, and the new price will not apply until your next renewal after that notice. If you do not agree to a new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.
Changes to Premium features. We may add, change, or remove features included in Premium. If we remove a material feature during a period you have already paid for, you may cancel and contact us about a pro-rated refund for the remainder of that period.
8. Not medical or developmental advice
Happy Firsts helps you track milestones and may surface general suggestions and importance estimates (including features powered by AI). This information is for general informational purposes only and is not medical, health, or developmental advice, and is not a substitute for guidance from a qualified pediatrician or healthcare professional. Every child develops differently. Always consult a professional with questions about your child’s development, and never disregard professional advice because of something you read in the Service.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party providers (such as Google and Apple for sign-in, and cloud infrastructure providers). Your use of those features may also be subject to the third party’s own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content will always be available or preserved.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Happy Firsts and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or USD $100.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Happy Firsts and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as content licenses you’ve granted, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will continue to apply.
14. Changes to the Service and these Terms
We may modify or discontinue the Service, and we may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California.
16. Privacy
Our handling of your information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
