Terms & Conditions

Last updated 28 October 2026

These terms apply when you use Kinwoo on the web or on your phone. By creating an account or continuing to use Kinwoo, you agree to them.

What Kinwoo is

Kinwoo helps the people in a shared home keep track of what the home needs. You create or join a house, then work with your housemates on shared lists, see who did what in the activity feed, and manage the house together.

Your account

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use Kinwoo.
  • Sign in with your own email address or Google account, and give accurate details.
  • Keep your sign-in secure. What happens under your account is your responsibility.
  • One person, one account. Do not share an account or create accounts to get around a removal.

Houses and housemates

A house is shared by design. Everyone who joins can see the house name and address, the members, their display names, avatars and email addresses, shared lists and items, who bought what and for how much, and the activity feed. Lists marked private are visible only to the person who made them.

  • Only invite people you trust. Anyone holding a house's invite code or link can join, unless the house is set to invited emails only.
  • House admins can invite people, change roles, edit house settings and remove members.
  • A member can leave a house at any time. Once someone has left or been removed, they lose access to it.

What you add

Names, notes, prices and anything else you enter stay yours. You give Kinwoo permission to store them and show them to the other members of your house, because that is how the service works. You are responsible for what you add, and you confirm you are allowed to add it.

Acceptable use

  • No harassment, hate speech or abuse toward housemates or anyone else, including in house names, list names, item names and notes.
  • No pretending to be someone else, and no offensive or misleading display names or avatars.
  • No attempts to break, probe or overload the service, to reach data that is not yours, or to automate the app in ways it was not built for.
  • No unlawful content or use.

We can remove content, or suspend or close an account, that breaks these terms or harms other people or the service.

Not a payment or financial service

Kinwoo lets you record what was bought and what it cost. It does not take payments, hold money, move money between people or give financial advice. Amounts are what members enter, and settling up between housemates happens outside the app.

Availability and changes

Kinwoo is provided free and as it is. Features come and go, and parts that are marked as not built yet may never ship. The service may be unavailable from time to time, and we may change or stop it with reasonable notice where we can.

Ending your use

You can stop using Kinwoo at any time and leave your house from the house settings. To have your account deleted, email hello@kinwoo.in from the address on the account. What happens to your data is covered in the Privacy Policy.

No warranty and limits on liability

Kinwoo is offered without any warranty that it will be accurate, uninterrupted or error free. Please do not rely on it for anything where a mistake would cause serious harm, such as medication or allergy information.

To the extent the law allows, Sourav Shrestha is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data, or disputes between housemates arising from your use of Kinwoo.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Material changes will be flagged in the app. Continuing to use Kinwoo after a change means you accept it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India.
