Terms & Conditions

These Terms cover pregnancy tools, the Montessori prep plan, prenatal visits, the weekly development and play plans, Activities library, Nourish, Calendar Plus, registries with items from any store and cash funds, thank-yous, help lists, the Welcome Box, family sharing, and optional Plus purchases. Features described here are available only where supported by your App version, platform, and plan.

1. Agreement

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the public website and blog at raisingintentionally.com (the "Website") and our mobile applications for iPhone and Android (the "Apps," and together with the Website, the "Services"), operated by Cedarkeep LLC ("we," "us," "our"). There is no web-based member portal. By visiting the Website, downloading or using an App, creating an account in an App, purchasing or using Raising Intentionally Plus ("Plus"), or subscribing to our emails, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account or subscribe to the newsletter. The Services are intended for parents, expectant parents, and caregivers. By using the Services, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. If you make a purchase, you also confirm that you are authorized to use the selected app-store account and payment method.

3. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for any activity that occurs under your account. If you sign in with Apple, you are also responsible for the security of your Apple Account, and Apple's own terms apply to it. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or close any account that, in our reasonable judgment, violates these Terms or harms other users or the Services.

You may invite other adults to join your family account. Family members may be able to view and update information about children, care logs, milestones, saved activities, weekly play selections, preferences and feedback, development progress, meal plans, calendars and prenatal visits, registries, thank-yous, help lists, and other shared family content. Only invite people you trust, keep your family membership current, and remove access when it is no longer appropriate. Each invited member is responsible for activity under their own account.

4. Not medical, legal, or professional advice

The content available through the Website and Apps is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, not a substitute for professional medical judgment, and not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Always consult a qualified pediatrician, obstetrician, midwife, or other healthcare provider with any questions you have about your pregnancy, your child's development, health, behavior, sleep, or feeding. The pregnancy tracker and any due date it shows are estimates for your convenience only and are not a substitute for prenatal care. The pregnancy checklists, including the preparation timeline, hospital bag list, and birth plan guide, are general educational and organizational tools, not medical advice or a birth-planning service; discuss your birth plan and any medical decisions with your obstetrician, midwife, or birth team. The Montessori prep plan, weekly pregnancy notes about what you may be feeling, and baby size illustrations are general and approximate; every pregnancy is different. Suggested questions for prenatal visits are ideas to help you prepare, not a complete list or a substitute for talking with your provider about your own health and your baby's.

Development and weekly play plans, the Activities library, Montessori activities, STEM activities, milestone guidance, stage descriptions, and the Montessori Guide are educational tools. They are not developmental screening, diagnosis, therapy, an assessment of school readiness, or a guarantee that a child will reach a milestone at a particular age. The Montessori Guide presents prepared, stage-aware educational information; it is not a live healthcare or child-development professional. Every child develops at their own pace. Raise concerns about development with a qualified healthcare provider.

Activities and supervision. Suggested ages, materials, steps, illustrations, and activity recommendations based on preferences or feedback are general guides, not a safety assessment of your child or home. Choose activities that fit your child's abilities and needs, use a safe space and suitable materials, and provide attentive adult supervision. Check for choking, water, fall, and other hazards; follow manufacturers' instructions; and stop or adapt an activity if your child is uncomfortable or it is unsafe.

Recipes, meal plans, feeding guidance, ingredient swaps, grocery lists, and starting-solids content are general educational and organizational tools, not individualized medical or nutritional advice. They cannot account for every allergy, intolerance, choking risk, dietary need, medical condition, preparation method, or product change. Consult your child's healthcare provider or a qualified dietitian when appropriate, verify ingredients and allergen information yourself, use age-appropriate preparation, and supervise eating. The registry and catalog are recommendations, not safety certifications, endorsements, or guarantees; follow each manufacturer's current age and safety guidance and supervise your child.

Calendars, schedules, care logs, and reminders are convenience tools. They may be incomplete, delayed, or unavailable and must not be relied on for medication, medical care, emergencies, or other time-sensitive needs. Never disregard or delay professional advice because of information in the Services.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services to upload, post, or transmit unlawful, harassing, or harmful content.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data used by the Services.
• Scrape or mass-download the Website, or reverse-engineer the Website or Apps, beyond what is expressly permitted by our robots.txt, an applicable app-store license, or applicable law.
• Use the Services to send spam, phishing, or malware.
• Misrepresent your identity or impersonate another person.
• Use the Services in a way that interferes with their normal operation or with other users' use of them.

6. Intellectual property

All written content, images, illustrations, software, and design available through the Services are the property of Cedarkeep LLC or its licensors, unless otherwise credited. You may share short excerpts with attribution and a link back to the original page. You may not republish substantial portions, sell, or commercially exploit the content without prior written permission. Free downloadable resources are licensed for personal, non-commercial use by parents, expectant parents, and caregivers.

7. AI-assisted content

Some public articles, educational materials, summaries, illustrations, product copy, or other content available through the Website or Apps may be created or edited with assistance from generative artificial intelligence tools. We review and edit AI-assisted content before publication, but generative AI can produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading material. AI-assisted content is provided for general educational purposes only and is subject to the medical and professional-advice disclaimer above. You should independently verify important information and consult an appropriate professional when needed.

The Apps do not use generative AI to make automated decisions about your account, your pregnancy, or your child, and they do not provide individualized medical advice through AI. Our handling of personal information in connection with AI is described in the Privacy Policy.

The Montessori Guide feature uses prepared, stage-aware responses rather than a live generative-AI service. Its responses remain educational content and are subject to the disclaimers in Section 4.

8. Your content, registry, shared lists, and help lists

If you submit content to us (such as a contact message, feedback, or a question), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use it to operate and improve the Services and to respond to you. You retain ownership of what you submit, and you confirm that you have the right to share it.

The app lets you build a registry and lists from our recommended catalog and from items you add yourself, and lets you share a list with others through a private link. When you share a list, anyone who has the link can view it, mark items as purchased, and optionally leave a name and note for you. You are responsible for the content you add to a list, for deciding who to share the link with, and for any personal information you choose to include in it, including anything in a list's title or notes. Do not add information about other people without their permission, and add only what you need when you record gift givers on your thank-you list. You can stop sharing a list at any time in the app, which disables its link. How registry sharing and any guest information are handled is described in our Privacy Policy.

Items from other stores. You can add a product from any store by pasting or sharing its link. We read the product name and photo the store's page publishes to fill in the item, and you can change them. You are responsible for the links you add. Prices, availability, and product details can change at the store and may be out of date in your registry. Guests buy those items from the store itself, under that store's terms; we are not the seller and are not responsible for those purchases.

Cash funds. You can add a cash fund so guests can give money toward something, such as diapers or a doula. Guests send money directly to you through the payment app you choose, currently Venmo or PayPal, under that app's own terms. We do not receive, hold, transfer, or guarantee any money, and we are not a payment service. Payments, fees, refunds, mistaken or unauthorized payments, taxes, and disputes are between the guest, you, and the payment app. The amounts shown on a fund are what guests report and are not confirmed with the payment app. You are responsible for entering your own correct username, and guests should check that username in the payment app before sending money.

Help lists. The app lets you share a help list so friends and family can offer help in the weeks after a baby arrives, such as bringing a meal, running errands, doing laundry, or walking a dog. When you share a help list, anyone who has the link can see it, including your baby's first name, the dates and times you chose, and your notes, and can take a spot without an account. You are responsible for deciding who receives the link and for what you write in it; do not include your home address, door or alarm codes, or other sensitive details unless you are comfortable with everyone who has the link seeing them. You can stop sharing or delete the list at any time.

Help lists are a scheduling tool only. We do not screen, verify, or supervise helpers, and we are not a party to any arrangement between you and a helper. You and each helper are responsible for your own arrangements, including who is allowed into your home, the safety of food, pets, and children, and any allergies or dietary needs. Tell helpers about allergies and household needs directly. If you take a spot on someone's help list, you agree to give an accurate name, to use the details on the list only to help that family, and to give the spot back if you can no longer help. We are not responsible for the conduct of families or helpers or for any help that is offered, given, or not given.

You may create a milestone recap or baby-book PDF from information and photos you choose. When you export, print, or share it, a copy may leave the Apps and be handled by the destination you select. You are responsible for choosing the recipient or destination and for having permission to include information or images of other people.

9. Third-party links, services, and affiliate links

The Services may link to third-party websites and use third-party services such as Cloudflare, Neon, Resend, Sender, RevenueCat, Apple, and Google, and may send you or your guests to stores and payment apps such as Venmo and PayPal. We are not responsible for the content, policies, availability, or practices of those third parties. Your use of a linked site, app store, or third-party service may also be subject to that party's own terms and policies.

Affiliate disclosure. Some links in the Services, including the product links in our registry catalog and in lists, are affiliate links. Amazon links you add to your own registry may also carry our affiliate tag; links you add from other stores are passed along as you entered them. We participate in the Amazon Associates Program and other affiliate programs, and we may earn a commission when you buy something through one of these links, at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we believe are worthwhile, and commissions do not change our recommendations. Prices, availability, product details, and any purchase are determined solely by the retailer, not by us. We are not the seller, make no warranty about any product you buy through an affiliate link, and are not responsible for your transaction with the retailer, which is governed by that retailer's own terms and policies.

10. Raising Intentionally Plus and purchases

The Apps may offer free features and optional paid access to Plus. The features included in Plus are described in the Apps when you purchase. We may add, modify, replace, or discontinue features as the Services evolve, subject to applicable law. Feature availability may depend on your device, platform, App version, child's stage, or location.

Where available, active Plus access includes the full age-matched Activities library, including during an eligible Plus trial. Free access includes one weekly activity for the current child and week. Free access also includes the current and past weeks of the development plan for each child, from birth through age six; Plus unlocks the weeks ahead. Saving an activity or giving feedback does not unlock paid content; access to full instructions depends on your family's current plan.

During pregnancy, Free access includes one week of the Montessori prep plan for each expected baby; Plus unlocks every prep week. Setting up, editing, and sharing a help list requires Plus. If Plus ends, a help list you already shared stays open so helpers can still see it and take or give back spots, and you can still view it, stop sharing it, or delete it, but you cannot change it or share it again until your family has Plus. Thank-yous, items from other stores, and cash funds are available on Free.

Welcome Box. We may offer a Welcome Box, a small physical gift box of baby items, some of which may come from brands we partner with. It is a gift for members with an active, paid yearly or lifetime Plus membership who are expecting a baby or whose baby was born within the last 3 months. There are no steps to complete to qualify. It is not sold, is not part of the price of Plus, and is not paid for through the App Store or Google Play, and shipping is free. The offer is limited to one box per family and per shipping address, and we ship to US addresses only. We use your due date to time the shipment. A box is sent only after any free trial has ended and your paid membership has started. If a Plus purchase is refunded, a box that has not yet shipped will not be sent. No purchase from any store is required, and guests do not have to buy anything for you to qualify. The App may suggest optional things to do while you wait, such as adding favorites to your registry or sharing it with family, but they never affect whether you receive a box. Until we open claiming, a box cannot yet be claimed, and the App will tell you when it is ready to claim. The contents, availability, and terms of the Welcome Box may change, and we may pause or end the offer at any time, subject to applicable law. The Welcome Box has no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged.

Plus weekly play plans may use your chosen interests, time, setting, preparation, materials, and activity feedback to suggest future activities. Changing preferences or swapping an activity can replace current selections. Feedback alone does not reshuffle the current week's plan. Plus members may also schedule accessible activities in Calendar Plus; a saved calendar link does not unlock an activity after Plus access ends. Meal-plan swaps and refreshes can replace the current plan and grocery checks when you choose to save them.

Recurring subscriptions. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them through the applicable app-store account at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your app-store account is charged when you confirm the purchase, except during an applicable free trial, and may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. The price, billing period, currency, taxes, and any trial or introductory offer shown in the app store at checkout control your purchase. Store rules and applicable law govern notice of price changes.

Seven-day free trial. Eligible customers may be offered seven days of Plus at no charge with a monthly or annual subscription. The App shows this offer only when it is available and eligibility is confirmed. Eligibility and availability are determined by the applicable app store; an offer is not guaranteed for every customer, platform, or region. Apple permits one introductory offer per subscription group, so changing between monthly and annual plans does not guarantee another trial. The store's checkout shows the trial duration, selected billing period, and localized price that applies afterward. Lifetime purchases have no free trial.

Unless you cancel in time through the applicable app store, the trial automatically converts to the selected paid subscription at the price shown at checkout and continues renewing. Plus stays unlocked while the store verifies active access; no separate upgrade is needed after a successful trial conversion. To avoid a charge for an Apple trial, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Follow the applicable store's cancellation instructions and deadlines.

Lifetime purchase. If offered, a lifetime purchase is a one-time, non-renewing purchase that provides access to the included Plus features for as long as we continue to make the applicable App and those features available. It does not guarantee that the Apps, Services, or any particular feature will be available forever.

Purchases, renewals, cancellations, restorations, and refunds are processed by Apple, Google, or the applicable app store under its terms. We do not receive your complete payment-card details. You can manage or cancel a recurring subscription in your app-store account and can use the App's restore-purchases feature for eligible purchases. Deleting your account, deleting the App, or leaving a family does not cancel a subscription. Nothing in these Terms limits refund or cancellation rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

Plus access may be shared within one Raising Intentionally family account as described in the Apps. The purchase is associated with the purchaser's store account and one in-App family; it cannot be attached to multiple in-App families at the same time. This in-App family access is separate from any Apple Family Sharing or Google Play family-sharing program. The purchaser remains responsible for managing the purchase. Canceling turns off future renewal. Access usually continues until the store-reported end of the trial or paid period, but store rules, a refund, or revocation may end access sooner. When verified access expires, including the end of any store-supported billing grace period, the family reverts to Free unless it has another valid Plus entitlement. Paid content, including full Activities instructions, then locks; eligible Free features remain available. Cancellation or expiry alone does not delete your account or shared family data.

11. Email communications

You may receive service emails needed to operate your account, such as security, family invitation, purchase, support, or important policy messages. You can also manage nonessential email categories, including marketing, product-update, and milestone emails, by using the unsubscribe link in an applicable email or contacting us through our contact form. When you create an App account, you are automatically enrolled to receive app updates and/or marketing emails. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in an applicable email or our contact form. Where applicable law requires separate consent for marketing emails, that consent is required before we send those emails. Unsubscribing from nonessential messages does not stop necessary service communications. Website newsletter subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. We do not sell or rent our email lists.

We use Sender to send app updates and/or marketing emails, including new-feature announcements, product news, and promotions. We share your name and email address with Sender for these purposes, as explained in our Privacy Policy. You can unsubscribe using the link in any such email or contact us to opt out of nonessential emails. Unsubscribing does not affect your access to the Services.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or any applicable law. You may close your account through the Apps where available or by contacting us. Account closure does not cancel an app-store subscription; you must cancel it separately through the applicable store. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will survive.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information provided through the Services will be accurate, complete, or current.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cedarkeep LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or relating to your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total cumulative liability for any claim related to the Services will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those places, the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cedarkeep LLC from any claim, loss, liability, demand, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or your violation of any law or right of a third party.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to Cedarkeep LLC, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by a court with competent jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have under the law of your home jurisdiction.

17. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date above and, for account holders, give reasonable notice by email or an in-App notice. Continued use of the Services after the update means you accept the revised Terms.

18. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements.

19. Mobile applications and app stores

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the Apps on compatible devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use as a parent, expectant parent, or caregiver, subject to these Terms.

The Apps are available for iPhone through the Apple App Store and for Android through Google Play. Your use is also subject to the applicable store's terms. The app stores are not responsible for the Apps or their content and have no obligation to provide support or maintenance for it. To the extent the Apple App Store's terms apply, Apple is not a party to these Terms, is not responsible for the Apps, and is a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce these Terms against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. embargo and that you are not on any U.S. prohibited-parties list.

We may release updates to the Apps, and some updates may be required for them to keep working. Features may differ between iPhone and Android, may change over time, and may not launch on both platforms at the same time. We may stop offering an App or any of its features. You are responsible for your device, for any network or data charges, and for keeping your login credentials secure.

The Apps can send you reminders and other notifications on your device, such as prompts for a feeding, diaper change, milestone, meal, activity, appointment, or routine. These are optional and depend on the notification permission you grant your device; you can turn them off at any time in an App or in your device settings. Because reminders are scheduled on your own device, we do not guarantee that any notification will be delivered at a particular time, and you should not rely on them for time-sensitive or medical needs.
