Terms of Use

Effective July 6, 2026 · Applies to The Safety Nest: Home Alone iOS app

The most important term: this app teaches general safety skills through practice scenarios. It is education, not emergency services, and not a substitute for adult judgment, supervision, or professional advice. In a real emergency, call 911.

Using the app

By downloading or using The Safety Nest: Home Alone, you agree to these terms. The app is intended for children ages 9 to 12 with the involvement of a parent or guardian. Decisions about a child's readiness to be home alone, and about local laws that may apply to that, belong to the parent or guardian alone.

Educational content

Missions present general safety practices drawn from established family-safety curricula. They are written for a general audience and cannot account for every household, neighborhood, or situation. Parents should review the content, use the discussion prompts in the parent area, and adapt what the app teaches to their own family rules.

Membership and billing

The Home Alone Safety skill is free. An optional membership unlocks all six skills and a monthly mission pack.
Membership is an auto-renewable subscription billed to your Apple ID: $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year (prices may vary by region and are shown in the app before purchase).
When a free trial is offered, the subscription begins charging at the end of the trial unless canceled at least 24 hours before it ends.
Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your Apple ID subscription settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple's refund policies apply.
Purchases sit behind a parental gate and are intended to be made by adults.
Previous purchases can be recovered with "Restore purchases" on the membership screen.

Ownership

All app content, including missions, text, artwork, and branding, belongs to The Safety Nest LLC and is licensed to you for personal, non-commercial family use.

Warranty and liability

The app is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Safety Nest LLC is not liable for damages arising from use of the app or reliance on its educational content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the app grows; material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
