Terms of Service

Last updated 25 July 2026

These terms cover your use of Homestead. By creating an account or joining a household, you agree to them.

The service

Homestead helps a household organise its calendar, upkeep tasks, budget, meal planning, pantry and shopping lists in one shared place. We may improve, replace or discontinue features over time, and will try to give reasonable notice of material changes that affect paying households.

Your account and household

  • You're responsible for keeping your login (password, or username + PIN) confidential, and for the accuracy of what you and your household enter.
  • A household Owner controls membership, roles and permissions for that household, and can remove a member or the whole household at their discretion.
  • Don't use Homestead to store or share anything illegal, or to try to access another household's data.

Trials, subscriptions and payment

  • New households may receive a time-limited free trial. When the trial ends, access to household modules pauses unless the Owner starts a subscription. Household settings remains available so billing can be managed.
  • Web subscriptions renew monthly through Stripe at the AUD price displayed at checkout, including GST where applicable. Stripe—not Homestead—handles your complete payment-card details.
  • The household Owner can manage or cancel the subscription through Household settings. Cancellation takes effect according to the date shown in Stripe's billing portal. Except where Australian Consumer Law requires otherwise, payments already made are not refundable merely because part of a billing period is unused.
  • If payment fails, we may allow a reasonable grace period while Stripe retries it. Access may pause if payment remains overdue or the subscription ends. Your data is not deleted merely because access is paused.

Content you share publicly

Some features let you deliberately publish content beyond your household — a shared recipe, cookbook, upkeep routine, or calendar event link. Only publish what you're comfortable being visible to anyone with the link, and only content you have the right to share.

Availability and consumer rights

We take reasonable care with backups, availability and security (see our Privacy Policy), but we can't guarantee uninterrupted availability or that data will never be lost, and we recommend not relying on Homestead as your only record of anything critical.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Subject to those rights, Homestead is provided without additional warranties and BridgeKit Co.'s liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time — see Supportfor how. We may suspend or remove an account that violates these terms or is used to abuse the service (e.g. automated signup abuse or attempts to breach another household's data).

Changes

We'll update the date at the top of this page if these terms change materially. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
