Terms of Use

Last updated: 22 February 2026

1. About These Terms

These terms of use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Spell & Grow mobile application, web application, and website at spellandgrow.app (together, the “Service”).

The Service is operated by Igloo Labs Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, trading as Spell & Grow (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you are a parent or guardian allowing a child to use the Service, you accept these Terms on their behalf.

2. The Service

Spell & Grow is an educational spelling application designed for children aged 4–13. The Service provides audio-driven spelling practice aligned to the UK National Curriculum, with adaptive difficulty and spaced repetition.

The Service is intended for use by children under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or teacher. Certain features (account creation, subscription management, profile creation, school linking) are restricted to adults via a PIN-protected Parent Area.

3. Eligibility

  • The Service is designed for children aged 4–13. Children may use the Service under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or teacher.
  • Parent accounts (required for web sync and subscriptions) may only be created by individuals aged 18 or over.
  • Teacher accounts for the schools portal may only be created by authorised school staff aged 18 or over.

4. Accounts and Security

Children do not create accounts. All profiles are created locally on the device by a parent or guardian.

If you create a parent account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us promptly at hello@spellandgrow.app if you become aware of any unauthorised use.

The Parent Area is protected by a four-digit PIN chosen by the parent. You are responsible for keeping this PIN confidential from your child where appropriate.

5. Free and Paid Features

5.1 Free tier

The Service offers a free tier that includes one child profile, access to Seedling and Sprout difficulty tiers, and core spelling features. Cloud sync is free for all users.

5.2 Pro subscription

Additional features are available through a paid subscription (“Pro”), including up to five profiles, all difficulty tiers, and premium features. Subscription pricing is displayed in the App before purchase.

5.3 In-app purchases

Subscriptions on mobile devices are managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Billing, renewal, and cancellation are governed by the terms of the relevant store. We do not process payment card details directly.

5.4 School subscriptions

Schools may subscribe to Spell & Grow for Schools through the schools portal. School subscriptions are billed via Stripe and governed by a separate agreement between the school and Igloo Labs Limited.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, other users’ accounts, or our systems
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except to the extent permitted by applicable law
  • Use the Service to transmit harmful, offensive, or inappropriate content
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service
  • Use automated means to access the Service (bots, scrapers, etc.) without our prior written consent

7. Intellectual Property

All content in the Service — including text, word lists, audio recordings, images, animations, the Blossom mascot character, and software — is owned by or licensed to Igloo Labs Limited and is protected by copyright, trade mark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for personal, non-commercial educational purposes (or, for schools, for educational purposes within the subscribing institution) in accordance with these Terms.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

8. User Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect and how we use it. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

Spelling progress and profile data created within the Service belong to you. You may export or delete your data at any time through the Parent Area or by contacting us.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, iCloud, Google Drive) for distribution, payment processing, and cloud sync. Your use of these services is governed by their respective terms. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

10. Availability and Updates

We aim to keep the Service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend or restrict access for maintenance, updates, or reasons beyond our control.

We may update the Service from time to time to add features, fix issues, or improve performance. Material changes to features will be communicated through the App or our website.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. While we take care to ensure the accuracy of our word lists and educational content, we do not warrant that the Service is error-free.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the laws of England and Wales.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Igloo Labs Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you have paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty pounds sterling (£50).

These limitations apply whether the liability is based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other basis.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the App and, if applicable, deleting your parent account.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use poses a risk to the Service or other users. Where practicable, we will give you reasonable notice before termination.

On termination, your licence to use the Service ends. Data stored locally on your device remains under your control. Server-side data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or via email to registered parent accounts at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

The “last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Igloo Labs Limited in relation to your use of the Service, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.
