Terms of Service
Welcome to Tiny Advocate. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and Laura Endicott, doing business as Tiny Advocate, a sole proprietor based in Chesapeake, Virginia, USA ("we," "us"). By creating an account or using Tiny Advocate, you agree to these Terms. We've tried to keep them plain and fair.
1. Who can use Tiny Advocate
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a contract. Tiny Advocate is for parents, guardians, and other adults helping a child with their education. Children may not create accounts. Please only add information about a child you have the right to manage.
2. Not legal, medical, or educational advice
Tiny Advocate is an organizing tool. It helps you keep papers, dates, notes, and meetings in one place. It is not legal, medical, or educational advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client, doctor-patient, or any professional relationship. Anything shown in the app, including summaries, transcripts, or suggestions, may be incomplete or wrong. For decisions about your child's rights, health, or education, please talk with a qualified attorney, advocate, doctor, or educator.
3. Your account
Keep your login details private and let us know at help@tinyadvocate.com if you think someone else has accessed your account. You're responsible for activity under your account.
4. Your content
You own everything you upload, including your child's records, emails, notes, and recordings. You give us permission only to store, process, and display that content so we can provide the service to you, as described in our Privacy Policy. You confirm you have the right to upload it. If you record meetings, you are responsible for following recording-consent laws and your school's policies.
5. Subscriptions and billing
- Founding price: the first 50 families pay $5 per month. As long as your subscription stays active, we plan to keep your founding price.
- Standard price: after that, Tiny Advocate costs $8 per month or $72 per year.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel.
- If we ever change prices, we'll tell you at least 30 days ahead, and the change will apply at your next renewal.
6. Canceling and refunds
- You can cancel anytime, in the app or by emailing help@tinyadvocate.com.
- Canceling stops your next renewal. You'll keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for.
- We don't offer refunds or credits for partial months or unused time, including the rest of a yearly plan, unless the law requires it.
- If you're charged by mistake (for example, a double charge), email us and we'll make it right.
After cancellation, you can download your documents before your access ends, and you can ask us to delete your data at any time.
7. Fair use
Please don't misuse Tiny Advocate: no breaking the law, uploading harmful code, trying to access other people's accounts or data, overloading or reverse-engineering the service, or using it to harass anyone. We may suspend or close accounts that do these things, and we will tell you why when we can.
8. Availability and changes
We work hard to keep Tiny Advocate running, but it's offered "as is" and "as available," and we can't promise it will always be error-free or uninterrupted. Please keep your own copies of important documents. We may improve or change features over time. If we ever shut down the service, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice so you can download your information.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost opportunities, or outcomes of any school, legal, or medical decision. Our total liability for any claim relating to Tiny Advocate is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50, whichever is greater. Some places don't allow certain limits, so some of these may not apply to you.
11. Indemnity
If you misuse Tiny Advocate or break these Terms or the law, and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in or serving Chesapeake, Virginia. Before filing anything, please email us first. Most concerns can be settled with a friendly conversation.
13. Changes to these Terms
If we make meaningful changes, we'll update the date at the top and let you know by email or in the app before they take effect. If you keep using Tiny Advocate after that, you accept the updated Terms.
