• By signing up, you confirm you're a parent or guardian of any child whose profile you create

2. The service

3. Acceptable use

Don't:

We may suspend accounts that do these things.

4. Family Pass (when paid features launch)

The PlayOlu Lifetime Family Pass is a one-off purchase covering up to 4 kid profiles. It gives access for the lifetime of the platform. We will email you 30 days before any major change to what "lifetime" covers. If you bought a Family Pass and aren't happy in the first 30 days, email hello@playolu.com for a full refund.

5. Intellectual property

Olu the Play Hero, all stories, games, illustrations, music, and brand assets are owned by PlayOlu. You can enjoy them inside the platform — please don't republish them on other sites or use them commercially without our written permission.

6. Things we don't do

7. Limitation of liability

PlayOlu is provided "as is." To the extent legally allowed, we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages from your use of the service. Our maximum liability is capped at what you paid us in the previous 12 months (which, for waitlist users, is zero).

8. Changes to these terms

When we update terms, we'll change the "Last updated" date and email everyone on the waitlist with a summary of the changes.

9. Governing law
