Terms of use

Roostly is a free app for running a household: one calendar, one list, one set of jobs, and reminders. Using it means agreeing to what is on this page. If you do not, do not use it.

You need to be 18 or over to hold an account. Children take part through a link a parent creates, not an account of their own.

There is no charge, no trial, no subscription and no payment details. Nothing in Roostly is behind a payment, and nothing will be.

What you get in return for that is a service with no service level. Roostly is run by one person. It can be slow, it can be down, and a reminder can fail to arrive. If something in your household must not be forgotten, do not let Roostly be the only place it is written down.

Roostly could stop. If it is going to be shut down, you will be told by email and in the app, with at least 30 days to take a copy of your data out. Taking a copy is in Settings under Privacy and needs nobody’s permission.

Keep your password to yourself. Anybody you invite into your household can see and change everything in it, which is the point of a shared home base; invite people accordingly.

A share link works without signing in. Anybody who has the link has what the link gives. Treat one like a key, and revoke it in Settings under Sharing if it gets out.

You are responsible for what your household puts in. Do not use Roostly for anything unlawful, and do not try to reach another household’s data.

Your household’s contents are yours. Roostly stores them so it can show them to your household, send your reminders and give you a copy when you ask, and for nothing else. Roostly does not sell them, does not show them to advertisers, and does not use them to train anything.

The app itself, its name and its design are not yours to copy.

Roostly tells you what it thinks is coming up. It can be wrong: a council changes a collection day, a feed goes stale, a notification does not arrive, a suggested replacement year is a rule of thumb and not a survey.

Nothing in Roostly is advice. The money layer, if you turn it on, adds up numbers you typed in. It is not financial advice, and the upkeep timeline is not a structural or safety assessment. A boiler still needs a person to look at it.

As far as the law allows, Roostly is not liable for loss that follows from using it, including a missed appointment, a missed renewal or a missed bill. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.

You can delete your account whenever you like, in Settings under Account. Roostly can close an account that is being used to break these terms or to reach somebody else’s data.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts. Nothing here affects the rights you have as a consumer.

For the solicitor: the limitation of liability, the wording on withdrawal of a free service, and the consumer rights position all need checking. So does whether a notice period stated here is enforceable against a free service with no contract for payment.
