Terms of use
Last updated 16 October 2026
The short version. On the FridgeDoor is free to use while it’s in early access. Use it for your own family, keep your sign-in to yourself, and don’t rely on it for anything where a missed reminder could cause harm.
Who can use it
The app is set up and managed by parents or carers (18 or over). Children can use it on a device a parent has set up, but they don’t have their own accounts.
Your household and your account
- You’re responsible for what you and your household put in the app, and for keeping your email account safe, since that’s how you sign in.
- Only share your household’s join code with people you want to see and change your family’s plans. Anyone who joins with it can see everything the household shares.
- Please don’t misuse the service: no trying to get into other households’ data, overloading the server, or using it for anything unlawful.
Reminders
We work hard to send reminders on time, but phones, networks and notification services can delay or drop them. Please don’t rely on the app for anything critical such as medication, medical appointments or safety checks.
Recipes and food
Recipes are a guide. Cook meat until it’s steaming hot with no pink, follow packet instructions where they differ, and always check packaging for allergens. Diet tags are worked out from ingredient lists and may not catch everything.
Calendars you connect
Connected calendars are read-only: the app shows them but never changes them. Other parents in your household can see what you share, unless you choose “busy only”.
Changes and availability
The app is provided as it is, and we may change features as it develops. If we ever need to stop the service or start charging for something you already use, we’ll tell you in the app at least 30 days before and give you a way to export your data (Settings › Backup).
Liability
Nothing in these terms limits your rights under UK consumer law. Beyond that, we’re not responsible for losses caused by missed reminders, recipe results, or data you didn’t back up.
Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
