Terms of Service

These Terms are the agreement between you and us about using Larkabout. Please read section 5 — it is the one that could actually affect your afternoon.

1. Who we are

Larkabout is published by SEICHE LAB, MCHJ, a company registered in the Republic of Uzbekistan, 65-j, Pichoqchi MFY, Xiyobon Str., Margilan, Fergana Region, 151100, Uzbekistan.

Contact: support@parentapp.net

2. Who may use Larkabout

You must be 18 or over to use Larkabout. Larkabout is an app for parents and carers. It is not designed for children, and it is not to be used by them.

You need a device running a supported version of iOS, and an internet connection. Places are only listed for the cities we have actually covered.

3. Your account

Most of Larkabout works without an account: the map, the list, the filters, search, “Meet in the middle” and the AI assistant’s free questions are all open.

You need an account only to save a place. You can create one with Apple, with Google, or with a sign-in link sent to your email address.

Keep your access to that email address and to those sign-in methods secure — anyone who has them can reach your account.

You can delete your account at any time, from inside the app, at Settings → Account → Delete my account. Deletion is immediate and removes your saved places with it. It cannot be undone. You can keep using Larkabout afterwards without an account.

4. Free and paid

The map, the categories and filters, search, place cards, “Meet in the middle” with everyone’s travel times, and “I need something right now” are free.

The AI assistant gives you a set number of free questions each calendar month, with or without an account — currently five. A day plan counts as one question. The number left is shown in the app.

Larkabout Premium adds unlimited AI questions and day plans, and the full ranked list of places in “Meet in the middle”.

4.1 What a subscription costs

Larkabout Premium is offered monthly or yearly. A one-time yearly offer may be shown if you decline the yearly plan. The price shown to you in the App Store before you confirm is the price that applies, in your currency.

4.2 Free trial

Where a free trial is offered, it is a 3-day free trial on the monthly plan only. The yearly plan carries no trial.

If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it becomes a paid monthly subscription at the price shown. Apple allows one introductory offer per subscription group per customer, ever — so taking the monthly trial uses yours up.

4.3 Billing, renewal and cancellation

• Apple bills you, not us. Payment is taken through your App Store account. We never see your card details and cannot charge, refund or discount you directly.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, unless you cancel.
• You cancel in the App Store, not in Larkabout: iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or through the shortcut in Larkabout at Settings → Manage subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep what you paid for until the period ends.
• Refunds are Apple’s, under Apple’s own terms. If you believe you are owed one, request it from Apple. Write to us anyway if something went wrong — we would rather know.
• You get Larkabout from the App Store. Your licence to use it comes from Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”). These Terms add how Larkabout and its services work. If the two conflict, the Standard EULA wins for your licence.

4.4 Your right to withdraw

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract for digital services. Because the subscription is bought from Apple and delivered immediately, that right is exercised through Apple’s refund process rather than through us. Nothing here takes away a right you have under the consumer law of the country you live in.

4.5 If we change the price or what is included

If we raise a subscription price, Apple tells you before it applies and, where its rules require, asks for your agreement — if you don’t agree, the subscription ends at the old price. You can cancel before the new price starts. If we materially reduce what a paid subscription includes, we tell you in advance.

5. Place information — please read this one

Place information comes from two sources, and the app marks which:

• ✓ checked by a parent — someone from Larkabout went there and confirmed it. We record who checked and when.
• ○ from OpenStreetMap — an open map anyone can edit. It is usually right, but nobody from Larkabout has confirmed it.

Cafés remove the changing table. Play corners close for a refit. Opening hours change for the summer. A place we checked in July can be wrong in October, and we will not always know.

So:

• Amenities, opening hours, addresses and photographs are provided in good faith and without any guarantee.
• If the trip is long and the amenity is the reason you are going, call ahead. We would rather tell you that than pretend to a certainty we do not have.
• Anything we do not have, we do not list. A blank is not a “no”.

Distances and travel times in Larkabout are estimates in a straight line, adjusted for a typical detour. They are for comparing places against each other, not for planning to the minute, and they are not a route.

If you find something wrong, tell us at support@parentapp.net and we will fix it.

6. The AI assistant

The assistant is an AI, and Larkabout says so where you ask it. It answers only from the places in our database — it is instructed never to invent one — but it is a language model, and it can still be wrong, incomplete, or out of date in the same ways section 5 describes.

Treat its answers as suggestions, not as advice. It gives no medical, safety, legal or financial advice, and nothing it says should be relied on as any of those.

Do not type names, addresses or personal details into it. It does not need them, and the app says so on the screen.

We may limit, suspend or withdraw the assistant — including changing how many free questions there are — if we have to, for example because of cost or provider availability. If we do that to a paid subscription, section 4.5 applies.

7. “I need something right now”, and the emergency button

This screen shows the nearest changing station from our own data, and hands you off to your maps app for a pharmacy or urgent care. Those handoffs use your maps provider’s data, not ours, and we do not check what it shows you.

8. “Meet in the middle”

If you enter a starting point for someone else, please only do it with their agreement. It is their information, not yours.

The whole calculation happens on your phone and none of those locations reach us — see the Privacy Policy, section 5.2.

9. Things you send us

If you send us a suggestion, a correction, a photograph or a report about a place — in the app or by email — you keep everything you own in it, and you give us permission to use it in Larkabout and in material about Larkabout, free of charge and without a time limit.

By sending it you confirm that it is yours to send, that you have not copied it from somewhere else, and that any photograph is your own and contains no identifiable child.

We are not obliged to use, keep or publish anything you send, and we can remove it at any time.

10. What you may not do

Use Larkabout normally, and none of this will apply to you. For completeness: do not copy the place database out of the app in bulk, scrape it, resell it, or feed it into another product; do not try to break, overload or work around the app’s limits, including the free-question limit; do not use Larkabout to harass anyone or to collect information about other people; and do not use it for anything unlawful.

We can suspend or close an account that does these things.

11. Our content, and the maps under it

Larkabout, its design, its text and its verified place database are ours. These Terms let you use the app; they do not give you ownership of anything in it.

Place data in Larkabout is derived from OpenStreetMap and is used under the Open Database License (ODbL). © OpenStreetMap contributors — openstreetmap.org/copyright.

Larkabout includes Google Maps features and content — the map, and the places we show from Google Maps. Your use of them is subject to the then-current Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

12. Our responsibility to you

We give you Larkabout as it is, and we do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of mistakes.

We are responsible to you for loss we cause you that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or failing to use reasonable care. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, or for a business loss.

We do not limit or exclude our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit.

Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have as a consumer under the law of the country you live in, and where those rights conflict with something here, they win.

13. Ending this agreement

You can stop using Larkabout and delete your account at any time (section 3). We can suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, or if we stop running Larkabout — in which case we will give you as much notice as we reasonably can, and any subscription you have already paid for will be handled through Apple.

14. Changes to these Terms

We can change these Terms — for example when a feature changes or the law does. The date at the top says when they last changed. If a change matters to you, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect, and continuing to use Larkabout after that means you accept it. If you do not, delete your account.

15. Law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan, where SEICHE LAB is registered, unless the mandatory law of the country you live in says otherwise. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in and can bring a claim in your own courts.

Before going anywhere near a court, please write to support@parentapp.net. Almost everything is a misunderstanding that one email fixes.

Version 1.2 — 23 October 2026. What changed since 1.1: Larkabout is now published by SEICHE LAB, MCHJ (section 1), so these Terms are governed by the law of Uzbekistan, with your own country’s consumer protection kept (section 15). The AI assistant’s free questions no longer need an account (sections 3 and 4); section 4 says what Premium adds and no longer lists prices — the App Store shows yours. Sections 4.3–4.5 describe Apple’s licence, your right to withdraw in the UK too, and how Apple handles a price rise. Section 7 no longer assumes the emergency number is 112. The app is called Larkabout; earlier versions called it PA.

Version 1.1 — 13 October 2026. What changed since 1.0: section 11 now names the Google Maps features and content in PA and the Google terms that govern them.
