Terms and Conditions

Doodlik · Last updated: June 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“the Terms”) govern your use of Doodlik, a personal planning application operated by Alexandra Gritsenko, trading as Doodlik (“we”, “us”, or “our”), a sole trader business based in the United Kingdom.

By creating an account or using Doodlik, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of Doodlik, and supersede any prior representations, statements, or agreements, whether made in writing or otherwise. They should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.

At A Glance

Here is a plain-English summary. The full terms below are the ones that are legally binding.

1. Who We Are

Doodlik is operated by Alexandra Gritsenko, a sole trader registered in the United Kingdom. Our registered address is 22 Hewett Street, London EC2A 3NL. You can contact us at privacy@doodlik.com.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a data controller under registration number ZC148938.

2. Eligibility And Age Verification

In short: You must be at least 13 years old to use Doodlik. We collect your year of birth to verify this.

To use Doodlik, you must be at least 13 years old. If you are between 13 and 17, you should have your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the app.

We collect your year of birth at sign-up as part of our age verification process, in compliance with the ICO’s Age Appropriate Design Code (Children’s Code). If the year of birth you provide indicates you are under 13, you will not be permitted to create an account.

By providing a year of birth, you confirm it is accurate. If you provide a false year of birth to circumvent the age gate, you are in breach of these Terms and we reserve the right to terminate your account immediately upon discovery.

Users aged 13–17 are subject to enhanced privacy defaults as described in our Privacy Policy. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements above.

3. Your Account

In short: You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for everything that happens under it.

When you create an account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are responsible for:

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your account credentials secure.

You may delete your account at any time via Settings → Account → Delete Account. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed from our active systems within 30 days in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

4. Your Content And Third-Party Rights

In short: What you create in Doodlik belongs to you. You are responsible for making sure it does not infringe anyone else’s rights.

Doodlik allows you to create, store, and manage personal content including calendar events, notebook entries, reminders, and other notes (“Your Content”).

You retain full ownership of Your Content. By storing content in Doodlik, you grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account.

We do not read, analyse, monetise, or share Your Content except where you have explicitly shared it with other users via the shared calendar feature, where it is necessary to provide the AI assistant feature, or where we are required to do so by law.

Your warranty regarding third-party rights

By creating and storing content in Doodlik, you warrant that:

If a third-party claim arises as a result of Your Content — for example, a claim that you have stored another person’s data without their consent, or infringed someone’s copyright — you agree to indemnify us against any losses, costs, or damages we directly incur as a result of that claim, to the extent that those losses are directly caused by your breach of the warranty above. This indemnity does not apply to the extent that any such claim arises from our own negligence or breach of these Terms, and does not extend to indirect or consequential losses we may suffer.

5. Prohibited Conduct

In short: Doodlik is a personal planning tool. Do not use it to plan, facilitate, or encourage harm.

You must not use Doodlik — including its notebooks, calendar, shared calendar features, or AI assistant — to:

Absolute prohibitions

The following are absolute prohibitions. Violation will result in immediate permanent account termination without prior warning and, where required by law, referral to relevant authorities.

General prohibitions

We reserve the right to determine, at our sole discretion, what constitutes a violation of these prohibitions. Enforcement is set out in section 14.

6. The Shared Calendar Feature

In short: You control who sees your calendar and what they can see. You can revoke access at any time.

We are not responsible for how other users use information you voluntarily share with them. However, we will take action against users who abuse the shared calendar feature in breach of these Terms.

7. The Ai Assistant

In short: The AI assistant is a helpful planning tool. It is not a professional adviser. Do not rely on it for serious decisions.

Doodlik includes an AI assistant powered by a third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI). The assistant is designed to help you with planning, scheduling, and general queries.

What the AI assistant is not

The AI assistant is a general-purpose tool and is not a substitute for professional advice. You must not rely on it for:

If you are in crisis or need urgent help, please contact emergency services (999 in the UK) or a crisis helpline such as Samaritans (116 123, available 24 hours, free). The AI assistant is not equipped to provide crisis support.

Your responsibilities when using the AI assistant

We do not guarantee the accuracy of responses generated by the AI assistant. AI can make mistakes. Always apply your own judgement, particularly for anything important.

8. Subscriptions And Payments

In short: Doodlik is currently free. We plan to introduce paid subscriptions in the future. We will give you advance notice before anything changes.

Doodlik is currently available free of charge. We intend to introduce an optional paid subscription tier in the future. When we do:

Statutory cooling-off period

Where you purchase a subscription, you have a 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. However, if you explicitly request that the subscription service begins within that 14-day period — which will happen automatically when you activate a subscription — your right to cancel may be reduced proportionally to reflect the service already provided. We will make this clear at the point of purchase and ask for your explicit acknowledgement before processing payment.

We will update these Terms before introducing any paid features.

9. Intellectual Property

In short: We own Doodlik. You own your content. Neither of us can use the other’s without permission.

All intellectual property rights in Doodlik — including its design, code, branding, mascot, and features — belong to Alexandra Gritsenko trading as Doodlik, or are used under licence. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Doodlik’s intellectual property to you.

You are granted a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Doodlik for your own personal planning purposes in accordance with these Terms. You may not:

As set out in section 4, you retain full ownership of Your Content. We make no claim to it.

10. Availability And Changes To The Service

In short: We aim to keep Doodlik running reliably, but we cannot guarantee it will always be available.

We will do our best to keep Doodlik available and working well. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the service. We may take the service offline temporarily for maintenance, updates, or repairs; change, add, or remove features at any time; or discontinue the service entirely, with reasonable notice to users.

Where we plan significant changes or a discontinuation, we will endeavour to give users at least 30 days’ notice by email. If we discontinue the service, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to export your data before it is deleted.

Force majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to, failures of third-party infrastructure providers (such as Supabase, Netlify, OpenAI, or the weather and location services used by the app), cyberattacks, internet outages, acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, or changes in law or regulation. We will use reasonable endeavours to resume normal service as soon as possible and will notify you of any significant disruption.

11. Account Inactivity

In short: If your account has been inactive for 24 months, we may close it after giving you notice.

If your Doodlik account has shown no activity for a continuous period of 24 months, we reserve the right to treat it as dormant and close it. Before doing so, we will:

If we close a dormant account, we will delete the associated personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. This policy exists to ensure we do not hold your personal data indefinitely where you are no longer using the service, consistent with our data minimisation obligations under UK GDPR.

12. Our Liability To You

In short: We are responsible for providing the service with reasonable care. We are not responsible for things outside our control or for how you choose to use the app.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes 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 applicable law.

Subject to the above, we are not liable for:

If you are a consumer based in the UK, you have statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that these Terms do not affect. In particular, we are required to provide the service with reasonable skill and care, and these Terms do not limit your rights under that Act.

13. Reporting Abuse

In short: If something feels wrong, tell us. We take reports seriously and will act on them.

If you experience or witness any of the following, please report it to us:

To report an issue, email us at privacy@doodlik.com with the subject line “REPORT: [brief description]”. Please include relevant usernames, dates, and a description of what happened.

We will acknowledge all reports within 5 business days and investigate promptly. Where a report indicates an immediate risk to someone’s safety, we will prioritise it and may refer the matter to relevant authorities.

We plan to introduce an in-app reporting tool in a future update to make this easier.

14. Enforcement — Warnings, Suspension, And Termination

In short: We will deal with rule-breaking fairly but firmly. Serious violations result in immediate termination.

If we believe you have breached these Terms, we will generally follow this process:

For the following violations, we will skip the warning and suspension stages and permanently terminate your account immediately, without prior notice: terrorism or planning of mass harm; child sexual abuse material (CSAM); stalking or coordinated harassment; providing a false year of birth to circumvent the age gate; any other conduct we determine poses an immediate risk to the safety of any person.

Where we believe a user’s conduct may constitute a criminal offence — including but not limited to terrorism, serious harassment, or child sexual exploitation — we will report the matter to the relevant authorities, including law enforcement. We are not obligated to warn the user before doing so.

If your account is terminated and you believe this was done in error, you may appeal by emailing privacy@doodlik.com with the subject line “APPEAL: [your username]”. We will review appeals within 14 days.

15. Third-Party Services

In short: Doodlik uses third-party services to work. We are not responsible for their actions, but we choose our partners carefully.

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of these providers, though we have selected them carefully and have data processing agreements in place where required. If you use social login, the relevant provider’s terms and privacy policy also apply.

Doodlik may contain links to external websites or services. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content of any external sites.

16. Business Users

In short: If you use Doodlik for work, you are responsible for the third-party data you bring into the app.

Doodlik is primarily designed for personal use. If you use Doodlik in a business context and store personal data relating to third parties (such as clients, colleagues, or contacts), you are acting as a data controller in respect of that data. You are responsible for:

If you require a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for your business use of Doodlik, please contact us at privacy@doodlik.com and we will provide one on request.

17. Governing Law And Disputes

In short: These Terms are governed by English law. If we have a dispute, we would rather sort it out directly than go straight to court.

These Terms and any dispute arising from your use of Doodlik shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

If a dispute arises, we ask that you contact us first at privacy@doodlik.com and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the matter. We will endeavour to respond within 14 days and to reach a fair resolution.

If we are unable to resolve a dispute through direct communication, either party may refer the matter to a recognised UK mediation service before commencing legal proceedings. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident in another part of the UK or in the EU, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you reside.

18. Changes To These Terms

In short: We may update these Terms. We will always tell you before material changes take effect.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change — for example, when we introduce subscriptions or significantly alter your rights — we will:

If you continue to use Doodlik after minor changes take effect, you are taken to have accepted the revised Terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the service and delete your account before they take effect.

19. General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the severance of the invalid provision.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of Doodlik. They supersede all prior representations, statements, and agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of these Terms. Nothing in this clause limits liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or sub-licence your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided we give you reasonable notice.
