Terms of Service

Last updated: July 29, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Draco Inc. (“Draco,” “Kinbria,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the operator of the Kinbria co-parenting communication platform, including our website, our web app at /app, and our forthcoming native iOS app (together, the “Service”). Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you are using the Service on behalf of another person, you represent that you are authorized to do so. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. What Kinbria is (and isn’t)

Kinbria is a free tool that helps co-parents communicate and keep a secure, permanent record of their messages and shared-calendar changes — one that can't be secretly changed. Every message and calendar change is written to a permanent record that only adds, never edits or erases, with each entry sealed to the one before it, so the record cannot be quietly altered after the fact. On request, we can produce a certified record — a sealed, dated official copy anyone can check — that is built to prove on its own that it's genuine in a United States court, so you shouldn't need a witness just to confirm the file is real. We describe how that works in Section 6.

Please understand clearly what the Service is not:

• Kinbria is neutral. We are a record-keeper. We are not a party to your custody matter, divorce, mediation, or any other dispute, and we do not take sides between co-parents.
• Kinbria is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Nothing in the Service, our documentation, or our records is legal advice, and using Kinbria does not create an attorney–client relationship. For advice about your situation, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
• Kinbria does not guarantee that any record will be accepted as evidence. Whether a record is accepted is always the court’s decision, applying the rules of evidence and procedure that apply. We build certified records so they can prove on their own that they're genuine — so you shouldn't need a witness just to confirm the file is real — but whether a record is accepted is the judge’s decision, not ours, and we make no promise about the outcome of any case.
• Kinbria is free and stays free. There are no per-parent fees, and you never pay to read, export, or share your own records. We keep the Service sustainable by deliberately not building expensive features (such as in-app calling, money transfer, or large file storage), together with optional donations and an access-to-justice mission. We may offer optional paid extras in the future, but nothing important — your own messages and records — will ever be locked behind a payment.

3. Eligibility

To use the Service you must be at least 18 years old and located in the United States. The Service is offered only in the United States at this time and is not directed to people outside it. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate. Kinbria is a tool for adults coordinating the care of a child; it is not intended for use by minors, and children do not hold accounts.

4. Your account and security

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us and for keeping your login credentials confidential. You agree to:

• Choose a strong, unique password and not share it with anyone.
• Enable and maintain two-factor sign-in (2FA) — a second sign-in step that confirms it's really you. It is required for protected accounts, including accounts flagged for safety, and we strongly recommend it for everyone.
• Notify us promptly at our contact form if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Invitations to a co-parent or to view-only participants (such as an attorney, mediator, or the court) are started by the account owner only — you cannot be added to a conversation by a stranger, and the Service is designed so that no one can confirm whether a given person has an account.

5. Acceptable use

Kinbria exists to help families communicate and to preserve an honest record. You agree not to use the Service to:

• Harass, threaten, stalk, abuse, or intimidate anyone.
• Break any law, or violate a court order, protective order, or the terms of a custody arrangement.
• Impersonate another person, or falsify your identity or the source of a message.
• Attempt to alter, delete, forge, or backdate any record, or to interfere with, probe, or attack the security of the Service or the seals that keep the record from being changed.
• Upload content you have no right to share, or content that is unlawful.
• Use automated means to scrape, overload, or misuse the Service.

Records are permanent. Because Kinbria’s value depends on an unbroken record that can't be secretly changed, messages and calendar changes you send cannot be edited or deleted after they are written to the record — not by you, not by the other parent, and not by us. Certain safety controls (see below) let you hide content from your own view or remove app access quickly, but they do not erase or rewrite the underlying certified record. Do not send anything through Kinbria that you would not want preserved. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this Section, and we may cooperate with law enforcement where the law requires it.

If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. Kinbria is not a crisis or emergency service.

6. Records, certifications, and using them in court

Here is how the record system works, so you know exactly what you’re relying on:

• The permanent record. Every message and calendar change is added to a permanent record that only adds, never edits or erases. Each entry is sealed to the one before it, so any change to earlier data would break the seal and show — nothing can be quietly rewritten.
• Daily date stamp. Once a day, the whole record is date-stamped by an independent, trusted third party. This is designed to make even an operator-level rewrite of history show.
• Public verification. Anyone can visit a public page at /verify/{code} and use a short code to confirm that a specific record is genuine and unchanged. No login is required, and the page never displays the content of your messages — only whether the record matches.
• Certified records. On request, we generate a certified copy that carries a digital seal and a trusted date stamp (a PKCS#7 detached signature and an independent RFC 3161 timestamp), signed and dated so it can't be faked, accompanied by a written certification from a named records custodian at Draco Inc. This package is built to prove on its own that it's genuine — so you shouldn't need a witness just to confirm the file is real — under Federal Rules of Evidence 902(11), 902(13), and 902(14).

Your responsibilities in court. Producing a certified record is only part of the picture. You (and your attorney) are responsible for obtaining the record properly, giving any notice that the rules of evidence require, serving it, laying any additional foundation the court asks for, and following the procedures of your jurisdiction. Custodian availability for testimony, if a court requires live testimony, is not guaranteed and may be subject to reasonable arrangements. Again, we do not and cannot guarantee that any record will be admitted or given any particular weight — that is the court’s decision.

7. Privacy and how content is protected

Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy. In short: messages are encrypted while stored — scrambled so they can't be read by anyone who shouldn't — using a separate key for each conversation, and protected while traveling between your device and us. Conversation content is visible only to the two parents, to view-only people a parent invites, and to Kinbria’s system owner and administrators.

We want to be honest and avoid any misunderstanding: this is strong encryption-at-rest plus access control — it is not zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption. By design, the operator can access content and our servers can generate certified court records. Both of those functions would be impossible under true end-to-end encryption. We will never claim that your content is hidden from Kinbria or from the operator.

8. Safety features

Kinbria includes protections intended to help people in high-conflict or domestic-violence situations, including required two-factor sign-in for protected accounts, sign-in responses that give nothing away so no one can confirm whether you have an account, invitations started by the account owner only, no live read-receipts, optional opt-in approximate check-ins, and emergency delete/hide controls that quickly remove content or access from a device. Households experiencing hardship or domestic violence may qualify for free access automatically. These features are provided to help, but no software can guarantee safety; use your own judgment and seek professional help when needed.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and content we provide, is owned by Draco Inc. and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You retain ownership of the messages and information you contribute; you grant us the limited license needed to store, secure, seal into the permanent record, certify, and display that content in order to operate the Service and produce records as described in these Terms.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Without limiting the above, we specifically make no warranty that (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure against every threat; (b) any record will be admitted into evidence or accepted by any court, agency, or third party; or (c) the Service, our documentation, or any record constitutes legal advice. Nothing on Kinbria is legal advice, and admissibility of any record is decided solely by the court.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DRACO INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR THE OUTCOME OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Because the Service is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this Section may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may close your account by contacting our contact form. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Because Kinbria’s purpose is to preserve a reliable record, closing an account does not erase the underlying sealed records, and either parent may still be able to obtain certified records of past communications. Sections that by their nature should survive — including records handling, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law — will survive termination.

13. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may update, add, or remove features, and we may revise these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, give you additional notice. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in California will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Nothing here limits any right you may have under mandatory consumer-protection laws of your state of residence.
