Terms of Service

Last updated: 7 March 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Unhinged Dad (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

The Service is operated by an individual developer / sole trader based in the United Kingdom.

2. The Service

Unhinged Dad is an AI-powered entertainment application that provides humorous, sarcastic parenting advice. The Service uses artificial intelligence (xAI Grok API) to generate responses to user questions about parenting.

3. ⚠️ Important Disclaimers

3.1 Entertainment Only

Unhinged Dad is an entertainment product. All advice provided is generated by AI and framed through a deliberately humorous, sarcastic, and irreverent lens. The "unhinged" tone is satire — it is intended to make you laugh, not to be taken literally.

3.2 Not Professional Advice

Nothing in this Service constitutes professional parenting, medical, psychological, legal, or any other form of professional advice. Do not rely on AI-generated responses for important decisions regarding your children's health, safety, or wellbeing.

If you need professional advice, please consult a qualified professional (doctor, therapist, counsellor, etc.).

3.3 AI-Generated Content

All responses are generated by artificial intelligence. AI content may be:

  • Inaccurate, misleading, or factually wrong
  • Inappropriate or offensive (within our content guardrails)
  • Unsuitable for your specific situation
  • Inconsistent or contradictory between sessions

You are solely responsible for any decisions you make based on content from this Service.

3.4 Humour & Satire

The Service deliberately uses sarcasm, dark humour, and irreverent language. This is a creative and entertainment choice. The AI character is a persona — "Unhinged Dad" is not a real person and does not represent our actual views on parenting. If you find the tone offensive or uncomfortable, please discontinue use.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use this Service. By using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. This is a parenting app designed for adult parents and caregivers.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Attempt to elicit harmful, dangerous, or illegal advice from the AI
  • Share AI-generated content as professional advice to others
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
  • Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm others
  • Overwhelm the Service with automated requests
  • Resell or redistribute the Service or its content

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms.

6. Subscriptions & Payments

6.1 Free Tier

The Service offers a free tier with limited daily messages. No payment information is required for the free tier.

6.2 Paid Subscriptions

Paid tiers unlock additional features and higher message limits. Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.

6.3 Cancellation & Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not offer prorated refunds for partial billing periods. Refund requests for exceptional circumstances can be made by contacting us at: emg.assets@gmail.com.

6.4 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes will apply from your next billing period after the notice period.

7. Affiliate Links

The Service may recommend products via affiliate links (Amazon Associates UK and ES). We may earn a commission on purchases made through these links at no additional cost to you. Product recommendations are AI-generated and we do not guarantee their suitability. Always use your own judgement when purchasing products.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, its design, branding, and underlying code are our intellectual property. AI-generated responses are provided for your personal use only.

You may share individual AI responses (e.g., screenshots) for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not systematically copy, reproduce, or redistribute the Service's content.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied
  • We do not warrant that AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, reliable, safe, or suitable for any particular purpose
  • We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service or reliance on AI-generated content
  • Our total liability to you for any claims arising from or relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or £50, whichever is greater

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Content Moderation

While the AI is intentionally sarcastic and irreverent, we implement content guardrails to prevent genuinely harmful outputs. The AI will not provide advice that endangers children's safety, promote illegal activities, or generate hateful content. If you encounter content you believe is genuinely harmful, please report it to: emg.assets@gmail.com.

12. Service Availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time with or without notice. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

13. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g., via the app or email if available).

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
