Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 18 June 2026

In plain English: ZooVo is a tool that lets you, the parent, hand-pick public YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels into a calm, locked player for your child. We don't host, sell, or alter those videos — they play through the platforms' own official players. Your subscription pays for the app and parental controls, never for the content itself.

1 Agreement to these terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and ZooVo ("ZooVo", "we", "us", "our") governing your use of the ZooVo mobile application, websites, and related services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2 What ZooVo is — and isn't

ZooVo is a parental-control and digital-wellbeing tool. It lets a parent curate their own playlists of existing, publicly available YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, and play only those videos in a calm, distraction-free, lockable player for their child.

  • ZooVo is not a source of video content. We do not host, store, download, record, re-stream, or modify any third-party video. All videos play through the official embedded players provided by YouTube and Instagram, with their ads, branding, and controls intact.
  • Your subscription pays for the software and parental controls — curation, the locked player, profiles, screen-time limits, and reports — never for access to the videos themselves, which remain free to view on their original platforms.
  • ZooVo is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partnered with YouTube, Google LLC, Instagram, or Meta Platforms, Inc. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

3 Eligibility & your account

  • You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to create an account. The Service is intended for use by parents and guardians, not by children directly.
  • The account holder is the parent/guardian. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your login credentials confidential. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

4 PIN & Kids Mode

ZooVo lets you set a parent PIN to lock "Kids Mode" so a child cannot exit the player or reach parent controls without it. The PIN is a convenience safety feature, not a guarantee. You are responsible for keeping your PIN private and for supervising your child's device use. We are not liable if a PIN is shared, guessed, bypassed, or forgotten.

5 Playlists & third-party content

  • You choose which videos to add to your playlists. You are solely responsible for the videos you select and for deciding whether they are appropriate for your child.
  • Videos are identified by their public links and are played through the official platform players. ZooVo only stores the references needed to re-display a video and does not retain third-party content beyond what is necessary to provide the Service.
  • Third-party videos are owned by their creators and platforms and are subject to those platforms' own terms. A video may become unavailable, private, deleted, age-restricted, or non-embeddable at any time, outside our control.
  • You must not use ZooVo to add or display content you are not permitted to view, or content that is unlawful.

6 Acceptable use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

  • download, copy, scrape, re-host, proxy, or redistribute any video or stream, or attempt to circumvent the official embedded players;
  • remove, obscure, mute, skip, or tamper with any ads, branding, titles, or links shown by the embedded players;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, interfere with, or disrupt the Service or its security;
  • use the Service for any unlawful, infringing, or harmful purpose, or to violate the terms of YouTube, Google, Instagram, or Meta;
  • resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.

7 Subscriptions & billing

  • ZooVo offers a free tier and an optional paid Premium subscription. Current features and prices are shown in the app and on our website and may change with notice.
  • Paid subscriptions are processed through the app store or payment provider you purchase through (for example, Google Play). Your purchase is also subject to that provider's terms.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period and at the then-current price unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your app-store account settings.
  • Refunds are handled according to the policy of the store or provider you purchased through, and applicable law. Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable.
  • We may offer promotional or founding-member pricing, which may differ from standard pricing and may be time-limited.

8 YouTube, Instagram & availability

ZooVo depends on third-party platforms and their embedded players to function. We do not control those platforms and cannot guarantee that any particular video, feature, or platform will remain available, embeddable, or unchanged. We may modify, limit, or remove functionality if a platform changes its services, terms, or technical requirements. We provide the Service "as available" and are not responsible for third-party platform outages, content removals, or policy changes.

9 Intellectual property

The ZooVo app, website, name, logo, design, and software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own family's non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party videos and marks remain the property of their respective owners.

10 Children & parental responsibility

ZooVo is a tool for parents to use with their children. You, the parent or guardian, are responsible for choosing the content your child watches, supervising their use, and setting appropriate limits. ZooVo does not knowingly collect personal information from children and is not directed at children for account creation. While we design the Service to support safe viewing, we do not warrant that any content is suitable for a particular child — that judgement is yours.

11 Privacy

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In short: the account belongs to the parent, and we do not collect personal information from children or use any activity data to advertise to or profile a child.

12 Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any specific video or feature will always be available.

13 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ZooVo and its directors, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service or any third-party content. To the extent we are found liable, our total aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ₹1,000. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

14 Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold ZooVo harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including the terms of YouTube, Google, Instagram, or Meta.

15 Changes, suspension & termination

  • We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, in the app or by email). Your continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
  • We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, and we may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms or use the Service unlawfully.
  • You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Certain provisions (including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnity) survive termination.

16 Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to applicable law, the courts at [your city/state, India] will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service.
