These are the rules of using Squiggle. By using the app, you agree to them. We’ve tried to keep them short and human.
Who can use Squiggle
Squiggle is built for kids ages 3 to 6. We assume a parent or guardian sets it up and supervises use.
If you subscribe to the Family plan, you must be at least 18 years old and have the authority to enter into a contract on behalf of the child or children using the iPad.
The Service
Squiggle is a learn-to-draw, spell, write, and play iPad app. We offer:
- A Free tier with starter content and core features.
- A Family subscription with expanded content, multiple child profiles, and parent tools.
The specific features of each tier are described on the pricing page. We may add, remove, or change features over time. Any change that meaningfully reduces what a paid subscriber receives will be communicated in advance.
Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation
The Family subscription is sold through the Apple App Store. Apple handles all payment, billing, and refund processing.
- Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel.
- You can cancel at any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPad.
- Cancelling at the end of a billing period means you keep the paid features until that period ends.
- Refunds are handled by Apple, per Apple’s refund policy. We are not able to issue refunds directly.
- We may change prices for new subscribers. Any active subscription you have at the time of a price change keeps its existing price until the end of the current billing period.
Your child’s content
Drawings, scenes, and stickers your child creates inside Squiggle belong to them and to your family. We claim no ownership over them. We don’t have access to them — they stay on the iPad.
If you choose to export, print, or share that content outside of Squiggle, that’s entirely up to you.
Our content
The Squiggle app, the curated library drawings, the Squig mascot, the branding, and the underlying code are owned by Squiggle, Inc. Fonts used in the app are licensed appropriately (Fredoka, Patrick Hand, and Andika are open-source).
You’re granted a personal, non-commercial license to use this material inside the app. You may not extract, redistribute, resell, or reverse-engineer it.
Acceptable use
Please don’t:
- Reverse-engineer the app or attempt to bypass paid features.
- Use Squiggle commercially — for example, running a classroom, daycare, after-school programme, or paid tutoring service — without a separate licence from us.
- Use Squiggle for anything that is illegal where you live.
- Disrupt, probe, or attempt to overload the library API or other infrastructure.
If you want to use Squiggle in a school, daycare, or therapeutic setting, please contact us at hi@squigglepad.com about an institutional licence.
Service availability
Squiggle’s core features — drawing, spelling, writing, and scenes — work fully offline once the app is installed.
Downloading new library drawings and validating Family subscriptions require an internet connection. We don’t guarantee 100% uptime for these online services. If our library API is unavailable, the app continues to work with whatever content is cached on the iPad.
Disclaimer
Squiggle is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent allowed by law, we make no warranties — express or implied — about the app’s fitness for a particular purpose, educational outcomes, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.
Your child’s learning progress depends on many factors well beyond our app. We’ve designed Squiggle with care, but it’s a tool, not a teacher.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, our total liability for any claim related to Squiggle is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. If you have only ever used the Free tier, that amount is zero.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost data, lost progress, or any kind of emotional damage related to drawings your child decides to delete.
Changes to these terms
If we update these terms, we’ll change the “Effective” date at the top and notify you in the app before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Squiggle after a material change means you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of Singapore — unless local consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction gives you stronger rights, in which case those rights apply.
