Terms of Service

Effective date: May 21, 2026

Welcome to Mowtivated Kids. By creating an account or using the Mowtivated Kids platform (“Platform”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Who can use Mowtivated Kids

You must be at least 18 years old to create a customer or parent account. Kid accounts must be created and managed by a verified parent or legal guardian. By creating an account on behalf of a minor, you represent that you are that minor's parent or guardian and that you accept these Terms on their behalf.

2. Platform description

Mowtivated Kids is a marketplace platform that connects homeowners (“Customers”) with local kids and teens (“Providers”) for lawn care and yard work services. Mowtivated Kids is not a party to any service agreement between Customers and Providers. We provide the technology and infrastructure; the actual services are performed by independent Providers.

3. Account responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. Providing false information, including misrepresenting your identity or relationship to a minor, is grounds for immediate account termination.

4. Parent responsibilities

Parents who create accounts for minors take full responsibility for supervising their child's participation on the Platform. This includes reviewing and approving all jobs before the child accepts them, ensuring the child has appropriate safety equipment, and monitoring the child's activity. Mowtivated Kids provides the parent approval workflow as a tool — final responsibility rests with the parent.

5. Customer responsibilities

Customers agree to provide accurate job descriptions, fair compensation, and a safe work environment. Customers must not require Providers to perform work beyond the scope of the posted job. Customers understand that Providers are minors and agree to treat them appropriately.

6. Provider responsibilities

Providers (kids and their parents acting on their behalf) agree to: complete jobs they accept in a timely and professional manner; use appropriate safety equipment; communicate promptly through the app; and notify the Customer and their parent if they cannot complete a confirmed job.

7. Payments

All payments are processed in-app through our payment provider (Stripe). Customers pay after job completion. Providers receive payment after the Customer confirms completion. Mowtivated Kids may charge a platform fee, which will be disclosed at the time of transaction. All fees are non-refundable except as described in Section 8.

8. Refunds and disputes

If a job is not completed, the Customer may request a refund through the app within 48 hours of the scheduled completion date. If a Customer and Provider dispute a job outcome, both parties may contact support at [email protected]. Mowtivated Kids will review the dispute and make a final decision within 5 business days. Our decision is final.

9. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

10. Photos and content

By uploading photos or other content to the Platform, you grant Mowtivated Kids a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, display, and distribute that content in connection with operating the Platform. You retain ownership of your content. You represent that you have the right to upload any content you provide.

Do not upload photos of minors without the consent of their parent or guardian.

11. Limitation of liability

Mowtivated Kids is a marketplace platform and is not responsible for the actions of Customers or Providers. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mowtivated Kids is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform or any services arranged through it.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms is limited to the amount you paid to Mowtivated Kids in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mowtivated Kids and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or behavior that endangers users. You may close your account at any time from Account Settings. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before termination.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Michigan.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users by email and update the “Effective date” above. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
