FFMPA / Terms of use

Terms of use

Draft for legal review. Items in square brackets must be confirmed by Founderfreedom Ventures LLP and its counsel before launch.

1. About these terms

These terms govern use of FFMPA at ffmpa.com and in any FFMPA app, provided by Founderfreedom Ventures LLP, a limited liability partnership registered in India, based in Bangalore, India. By creating an account you agree to them on your own behalf and on behalf of each child who uses FFMPA under your account.

2. Accounts

• You must be 18 or over and the parent or legal guardian of any child who uses your account.
• You sign in with your email address and a one-time code. Keep access to your email secure.
• You are responsible for setting your grown-ups PIN and for supervising your child's use.

3. What FFMPA provides

• Short news stories and explainers for children aged 5 to 15, in English, in two editions a day, covering news from the last 3 days.
• Some editions include clearly labelled sponsor cards that we approve. Sponsors never receive information about you or your child.
• Stories are written for learning and general awareness. They are not professional, medical, legal or financial advice.
• We work hard to be accurate and fair, but news changes quickly and we may make mistakes. Tell us at [support@ffmpa.com] and we will correct them.

4. Fair use

FFMPA is for personal, non-commercial family use. Do not copy, scrape, resell or republish our stories, try to get around security or parent controls, or interfere with the service. Schools and organisations need a separate agreement.

5. Ownership

Our stories, explainers, quizzes, design and software belong to Founderfreedom Ventures LLP or its licensors. Original news reports belong to their publishers and photos belong to their creators; we name and credit them, and we do not reproduce their articles.

6. Plans and payments

FFMPA is currently free. If paid plans are introduced, prices, renewal and cancellation terms will be shown clearly before you pay. [Section to be completed before any paid launch.]

7. Ending your account

You can close your account at any time from parent settings or by writing to us. We may suspend accounts that break these terms or put children at risk.

8. Responsibility

To the extent the law allows, FFMPA is provided as is, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or INR 1,000 if you paid nothing). Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law where you live.

9. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Bengaluru have jurisdiction, without removing any mandatory rights you have in your own country.

10. Grievances and contact

Grievance Officer: [Name], [grievance@ffmpa.com]. General help: [support@ffmpa.com].

11. Changes

We will email account holders about important changes at least 15 days before they take effect. Last updated: [date].
