Terms of Service

Draft of October 7, 2026 · Applies in the United States only

1. Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and JobBadger LLC (“BabyBadger”, “we”, “us”) for using the BabyBadger apps and babybadger.app (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.

2. Who can use BabyBadger

• The Service is offered in the United States only.
• Parents must be 18 or older and the parent or legal guardian of the children they add.
• Sitters must be at least 13. Sitters under 18 need permission from a parent or guardian.
• You must give accurate information and keep your email address current, because that is how you sign in.

3. What BabyBadger is, and isn’t

BabyBadger is software. It helps a family and a sitter they already chose to plan shifts, share a care plan, and see how a shift is going. Families decide whom to hire and on what terms; sitters decide which families to work with.

BabyBadger is not an employer, a babysitting agency or a referral service. We don’t employ, supervise, recommend, refer or guarantee any sitter or family, and we are not a party to the arrangement between them. Sitters are not our employees or contractors.

We don’t screen sitters unless a check is displayed. A sitter’s profile shows the credentials she added herself, with the dates she entered. Where a check was done, BabyBadger displays what was checked and when; a check reflects only that moment and is not a guarantee. If no check is displayed, none was done by us.

BabyBadger does not offer a way to find new sitters today. If we add one later, these terms will be updated before it launches.

Families remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and for meeting any employment, tax and insurance obligations.

4. Location sharing and consent

• A sitter’s location is shared with a family only between clock-in and clock-out of that family’s shift, after she has signed that family’s monitoring notice and allowed location on her phone.
• Parents agree to use location and shift information only to look after their children, and never to track a sitter outside a shift or share her information with others.
• Sitters can stop sharing by clocking out and can stop working with a family at any time.
• Locations come from phones and networks and can be late, missing or inaccurate. Don’t rely on BabyBadger as the only way to know where your children are.

5. Not an emergency service

Alerts, messages and the live map depend on phones, batteries, signal and third-party services, and may be delayed or fail. In an emergency, call 911 first.

6. Plans, trials and billing

• BabyBadger Family costs $11.99 a month or $119.88 a year (which works out to $9.99 a month), plus any applicable tax. One plan covers one household, including both parents, with unlimited sitters.
• Each household can use the 30-day free trial once. We ask for a payment method when the trial starts and remind you before it ends. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your plan starts and is charged automatically.
• Plans renew automatically each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel anytime in the app; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Except where the law requires, payments are not refundable.
• If a payment fails, the plan keeps working for 7 days while we retry. After that, paid features pause until the payment goes through.
• Payments are processed by Stripe under its own terms. We may change prices with notice before your next renewal.
• Safety features (help alerts and messages) keep working even if a plan lapses.
• Sitters never pay to use BabyBadger. In-app payments from parents to sitters are not available yet; when they launch, Stripe’s processing fee (shown before a sitter turns them on) will be deducted from the sitter’s payout. Payments made outside the app (cash, Zelle, Venmo) are between the family and the sitter.

7. Your content

You own what you add: kids’ details, care plans, logs, photos and messages. You give us permission to store, process and show that content to the people you share it with, only to run the Service. Don’t add content you don’t have the right to share.

8. Rules

• Don’t use BabyBadger to track, harass or harm anyone, or to monitor anyone who hasn’t consented.
• Don’t share your account or sign-in codes, or access accounts or families that aren’t yours.
• Don’t break, overload, reverse-engineer or scrape the Service.
• Follow the law, including laws on recording, privacy and employment.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put others at risk.

9. Ending your account

You can stop using BabyBadger at any time and ask us to delete your account at help@babybadger.app. What happens to data afterwards is described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, and we don’t promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, accurate or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, BabyBadger is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for the acts or omissions of any parent or sitter. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if that is more.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, unless the law requires otherwise.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. We will post changes here and, for important ones, tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use BabyBadger after that means you accept the new terms.
