Terms of Service
Last updated: April 23, 2026
1. About HouseRules Board
HouseRules Board is an iOS app that helps roommates and shared households create, agree on, and manage house rules together. Household members co-author living agreements covering quiet hours, guest policy, chore rotation, kitchen etiquette, and more. The app uses Apple CloudKit to sync the household board across all members' devices, and optionally syncs chore assignments to Apple Reminders. HouseRules Board is built by Loud Unicorn LLC.
2. Who Can Use HouseRules Board
HouseRules Board is intended for users aged 13 and older. By using the app, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to use the app and agree to these Terms.
3. Permitted Uses
- Create or join a household and co-author house rules
- Assign chores to household members with deadlines and point values

5. CloudKit and Data Sync
HouseRules Board uses Apple CloudKit to sync household data — house rules, chore assignments, member profiles, chore completions, and rewards — across all household members' devices.
By using HouseRules Board, you understand that:
- Household data is stored in Apple's CloudKit infrastructure
- All household members can view and interact with the shared data
- You should not include sensitive personal information (e.g., financial data, legal documents, personal identification numbers) in house rules or chore notes
- HouseRules Board is not a legally binding contract tool — rules and agreements created in the app are not enforceable legal documents
Potluck Coordinator does not operate its own backend servers. All household data is stored in Apple CloudKit under Apple's privacy practices (apple.com/privacy).
6. Not Legal Advice
HouseRules Board is a household coordination tool, not a legal service. Agreements created in the app are not legally binding contracts, tenancy agreements, or enforceable legal documents. For legally binding roommate agreements or tenancy matters, consult a licensed attorney.
