Terms of Use

Last updated: October 11, 2026

Acceptance

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and RedSmart Consultants LLC ("RedSmart," "we," "us") about your use of RedSmart Kin at rsk.redsmart.org (the "app"). By creating an account, signing in or otherwise using the app, you agree to these terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you use the app on behalf of a business or other organization, you agree for that organization and confirm that you have authority to do so. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

The service and who may use it

RedSmart Kin is software for building, sharing and preserving family trees.

Accounts and security

Give accurate information and keep it current. Keep your password and sign-in codes to yourself, use a strong password, and do not share your account; each person should have their own. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us right away at support@redsmartcorp.com if you suspect unauthorized use.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Your content

Your content is the trees, people, events, notes, sources, photos and files you put into the app. You (or the organization you work for) keep ownership of it. You give RedSmart a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display that content only as needed to run, secure, support and improve the app for you and the people you choose to share it with, and as described in our Privacy Policy. This licence ends when the content is deleted from the app, except for copies kept for the periods described in the Privacy Policy or required by law. You are responsible for your content and for having the rights and permissions needed to put it in the app. The app itself, including its software, design and the RedSmart name and logos, belongs to RedSmart; these terms give you a right to use it, not ownership of it.

Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Living people and privacy

Only add living people with respect for their privacy. Include what is accurate and appropriate, share trees only with people your relatives would expect, and correct or remove information when a living person asks. You are responsible for the information you add about others and for sharing it.

Shared trees

The owner of a tree controls who may view or edit it and may remove people. Editors can change the tree; each save is kept in its history. If the owner deletes the tree or their account, the tree is deleted for everyone. Keep your own GEDCOM export of trees that matter to you.

Accuracy of family history

Family history depends on the sources people enter, and imports from other programs may not carry over perfectly. RedSmart does not verify the information in trees.

Fees

RedSmart Kin does not currently charge a fee. If we introduce paid features, we will show the price in the app before you are charged, and you will not be charged without agreeing.

Third-party services

The app relies on services from other companies (for example hosting, email, and sign-in with Google or Apple), as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of a third-party service, such as your Google or Apple account, is also governed by that company's own terms.

Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep the app available and reliable, but it may be interrupted for maintenance, updates or reasons outside our control. We may add, change or remove features. If we stop offering the app or a feature you rely on, we will try to give you reasonable notice and a chance to export your data where the app offers export.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using the app at any time, and you can delete your account from your account settings. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for others or for us, or if required by law. Where reasonable, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as content ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law) continue after termination.

Disclaimers

The app is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, RedSmart disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or that it will meet every need. You are responsible for checking the results you rely on and for keeping your own copies of important information.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, RedSmart Consultants LLC and its owners, employees and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from or related to the app or these terms, even if we were told such damages were possible. Our total liability for any claim related to the app or these terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid RedSmart for the app in the 12 months before the claim or 100 U.S. dollars. Some places do not allow these limits, so they apply to you only as far as the law permits.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which RedSmart Consultants LLC is organized, in the United States, and by applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts of that state, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. Before filing a claim, please contact us at support@redsmartcorp.com so we can try to resolve it informally.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top, and if a change is significant we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the app after the change takes effect, you accept the updated terms; if you do not agree, stop using the app.

General

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement you have with RedSmart for this app, are the whole agreement between you and RedSmart about the app; if a separate signed agreement conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement controls. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
