Terms of Service
Last updated: 4 November 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and SK7 Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) governing your use of Bothly: the Android app and the web app at getbothly.com (“Bothly”, the “App”). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the App. By using the App you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.
2. Your account
- You sign in with Google, or with your email address and a password. Keep your password to yourself; if you forget it, you can reset it from the sign-in screen.
- On Android you can also use the App without an account (see section 7).
- You are responsible for keeping your password, your email account and your Google account secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account.
- Notify us promptly at hi@sk7.si if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.
3. The service
Bothly is a shared calendar for two homes. Co-parents of kids or pets set a usual rotation, ask for and agree on changes to it, chat, confirm handoffs and get reminders, and can let other people view the agreed schedule. In the Android app, you can also see your own calendars beside it. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We may also offer the App and its features free of charge and are not obligated to continue doing so.
4. Shared calendars and agreeing on changes
- A calendar has at most two co-parents. A co-parent invites the other with a code that works once and expires after 7 days.
- Nothing on a shared calendar’s schedule changes until both co-parents agree. A one-off change, a swap, cancelling a change you agreed on, and a new usual rotation are all requests until the other co-parent accepts them. The other co-parent can also decline a request or suggest different times, and you can withdraw your own while it’s open. A request that isn’t answered before it would start expires, and nothing changes.
- What both of you agree on becomes part of the schedule you both see.
- Each calendar keeps a history of what was asked, agreed, declined, withdrawn and confirmed, and when. The App gives nobody, including you and the other co-parent, a way to edit or delete the history, or a chat message once it’s sent.
- “Got them” records that a co-parent said they have the kids or pets after a handoff. It records what they said; it doesn’t prove it.
5. Viewers
- Co-parents can let other people, such as grandparents, a partner or a nanny, view a calendar with a view-only code, up to 20 viewers per calendar. The other co-parent is told when you add one.
- Viewers see the agreed schedule, handoff times and places, the kids’ or pets’ names, birthdays and photos, and the names of the people on the calendar. They never see notes, requests, the chat, or the history, and they can’t change anything.
- A co-parent can remove a viewer, and a viewer can leave at any time. When a co-parent leaves a calendar, the viewers they added leave with them.
- Only add people you trust with this information.
6. Leaving a calendar
- Either co-parent can stop sharing a calendar and leave it at any time. The other keeps it, with its full history and what you wrote on it, and can invite someone new. Your open requests are withdrawn, and the other co-parent’s requests to you are declined.
- Whoever joins in your place takes over your days from the day they join; the days before still show who had them.
- If the last co-parent leaves a calendar, it is deleted with everything on it, and its viewers lose it.
- Deleting your account leaves each of your calendars in the same way.
7. Calendars you keep on your own
- You can keep a calendar to yourself, giving the other parent a name without an account, and you keep a calendar on your own after the other co-parent leaves it. On such a calendar, your changes apply at once, as there is nobody to agree with, and its history records them as yours.
- If the other parent joins later with your invite, they take the named parent’s place. They see the calendar and its history as they stand, and are asked to agree to the usual rotation as it is. From then on, changes need both of you, as in section 4.
- A calendar you keep on your own shows what you entered. It isn’t an agreement with the other parent.
- On Android you can keep calendars without an account. They stay on your phone: we can’t see them, back them up, or recover them, and they’re deleted with the App. When you sign in, the App moves them to your account.
8. Your content
- You retain ownership of the content you create in the App, such as names, photos, notes, requests and chat messages (“Your Content”).
- You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the App to you and to the people on the calendars you share, including keeping it in a calendar’s history for the co-parent who stays after you leave.
- You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to share it, including what you add about your kids or pets, which the other co-parent and the calendar’s viewers will see.
9. Acceptable use
When using the App — especially in chat, notes and requests with the other co-parent — you agree not to:
- post or transmit content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, threatening, defamatory, or obscene, or use the App to intimidate, pressure, or monitor the other co-parent;
- use the App to contact someone a court or authority has told you not to contact, or otherwise against an order that applies to you;
- impersonate any person, misrepresent your affiliation with anyone, or use an invite code that wasn’t meant for you;
- upload malware or attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to the App or its systems;
- use the App to spam or send unsolicited messages to other users;
- collect or harvest other users’ data; or
- use the App in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
10. Interactions with other users
Bothly connects you with the other co-parent and with the viewers you choose. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users. We are not responsible for the conduct or content of any user, we do not screen or moderate messages or other content, and we do not take part in disagreements between co-parents. Bothly is not a way to get help in an emergency: if you or a child is in danger, contact your local emergency services.
11. Not legal advice or a custody order
Bothly is a calendar. It does not provide legal, family-law, mediation, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. A rotation or change agreed in Bothly records what two people agreed in the App. It is not a parenting plan approved by a court or a custody order, and it does not create, change, or replace any court order or legal arrangement. Where a court order or legal agreement applies to your family, it comes first. A calendar’s history and its PDF export record what was entered in the App; we do not check what anyone enters, and we do not promise they will be accepted as evidence.
12. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase (authentication, cloud database, server functions, push notifications, and hosting), Google Sign-In, your browser’s push service, Google Play, and Hetzner Online, which hosts getbothly.com. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
13. Intellectual property
The App itself — including its software, design, branding, logos, and the “Bothly” name — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the App under these Terms, we grant you no rights in the App. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, distribute, or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by law.
14. Disclaimers
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that data will always be preserved or synced. Notifications and handoff reminders can arrive late or not at all, for example when a phone is off or the App isn’t allowed to send them, so don’t rely on them alone for a handoff. The schedule shows what the co-parents entered. You are responsible for maintaining your own records if needed.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or EUR 50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.
16. Termination
You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time (in the App: Account › Delete account); your calendars are then left as section 6 describes. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
18. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Slovenia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Slovenia will have jurisdiction over any dispute, unless mandatory local law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
