Terms of Service
Last updated: April 23, 2026
1. About Potluck Coordinator
Potluck Coordinator is an iOS app that helps groups organize shared meals and potluck events. Hosts generate a join code or QR code and share it with guests. Guests join the event and claim what they're bringing — including dietary flags, serving size, guest count, and optional photo attachments. The app syncs claims in real time across devices via Apple CloudKit. Potluck Coordinator is built by Loud Unicorn LLC. No account or email registration is required to use the app.
2. Who Can Use Potluck Coordinator
Potluck Coordinator 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 and host potluck events with a join code
- Invite guests by sharing a join code, QR code, or deep link
- Claim, unclaim, and update items you're bringing to an event
- Add dietary flags, serving size, guest count, notes, and photos to items
- RSVP to events and view guest attendance
- Access recurring event templates and seasonal templates (Premium)
- Use the home screen widget to view unclaimed items for upcoming events
4. Prohibited Uses
- Creating events intended to mislead, defraud, or harm other users
- Uploading photos or content that is illegal, offensive, or violates third-party rights
- Reverse engineering, decompiling, or tampering with the app
- Automating event creation or claim actions via scripts or bots
- Sharing Premium features with users who have not paid (Premium is tied to the host's Apple ID)
- Using the app in ways that violate Apple's App Store Guidelines
5. CloudKit and Data Sync
Potluck Coordinator uses Apple CloudKit to sync event and item data across devices in real time. Event data — including event names, item lists, dietary flags, guest RSVPs, and photos — is stored in Apple's CloudKit public database and is accessible to anyone with the event's join code.
By creating or joining an event, you understand that:
- Event data is stored in Apple's CloudKit infrastructure
- Anyone with the join code can access the event, view items, and claim spots
- You should not include sensitive personal information in event names, item names, or notes
- Hosts can lock or archive events at any time to freeze further edits
Potluck Coordinator does not operate its own backend servers. All data is stored in Apple CloudKit under Apple's privacy practices (apple.com/privacy).
6. Premium — One-Time Purchase
Potluck Coordinator offers an optional one-time in-app purchase via Apple's App Store (StoreKit 2):
Premium unlock: $4.99 (one-time, Product ID: com.loudunicorn.potluckcoordinator.premium)

- Unlimited hosted events (free tier: 3 lifetime events)

Guests are always free. The Premium purchase is tied to the host's Apple ID and can be restored on any device signed in to the same Apple ID.

In addition to these Terms, your use of Potluck Coordinator is governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), which you can read here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
If there is a conflict between these Terms and Apple's EULA, Apple's EULA prevails.
8. User Content

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.
