The ground rules

FlatMate helps flatmates organise chores, rent, bills, shared costs and plans. It keeps track of who owes what, but it does not move money, hold money or give financial advice. Any payment happens between you and your flatmates, outside the app.

• You sign in with your own Google account and keep your sign-in secure.
• You are responsible for what you do with your account.
• You can delete your account at any time from the Account page.

What you add to a flat (such as expenses, availability and event votes) is visible to the other members of that flat, along with your display name and photo. Only add things you are happy for your flatmates to see, and keep the amounts and details accurate.

Please do not:

• use FlatMate to harass anyone, or to break the law;
• try to get into other people’s accounts or flats, or to break or overload the service;
• copy, resell or run a competing service from FlatMate’s code or content.

We may suspend an account that does, and we will tell you why where we can.

FlatMate is provided free and “as it is”. We work hard to keep it running and correct, but it may have faults or be unavailable, and features may change. Please check important dates and amounts yourself.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that come from using, or being unable to use, FlatMate. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and nothing here affects your statutory rights.

We may update these terms; if the change matters we will tell you in the app, and carrying on using FlatMate means you accept it. These terms are governed by the law of Scotland, and the Scottish courts can settle disputes, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
