Effective November 12, 2026.
These terms are the agreement between you and ETS3D LLC, a Missouri company (“we”), which makes and operates Along the Way, for using the app and its service. By creating an account you agree to them.
Who can use it
You must be an adult, and a parent or guardian of the children whose records you keep. One family account can have up to four parents.
Your records are yours
What you enter belongs to you. You give us permission to store it and show it back to you, and to show the families you choose what you share with them. We claim no other rights over it.
State rules are a planning aid
The app shows hour and day targets based on our reading of some states’ homeschool laws. Laws change and differ by situation. The app is a tool to help you keep records. It is not legal advice, and you are responsible for meeting your state’s requirements.
Sharing with your village
- Share only what you have the right to share. Do not put another family’s children in a photo or event without that family’s agreement.
- Do not use the app to harass, threaten, deceive, or endanger anyone, or to share anything unlawful or sexual.
- Leave children’s names out of events and notes that other families can see.
- You can report a photo or event, and block a family. We may remove content or close an account that breaks these terms.
Location at meet-ups
Sharing where you are at an event is your choice each time, and the families invited to that event will see it while it is on. Use your own judgment about who you invite and when you share. The app is not a safety or emergency service.
Plans and payment
- During testing the app is free. When plans begin, a new family has 14 days free. After that a plan is needed to keep adding entries. Without a plan you can still sign in, see and export everything you have saved, and delete your account.
- Plans are a monthly or yearly subscription bought through Apple or Google. The price is shown before you buy. A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple or Google account settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- One plan covers every parent on your family’s account.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their rules.
The service
We work to keep the service running and your records safe, including regular backups, but we provide it as it is, without a promise that it will never be interrupted or lose data. Keep your own copy of records you are required by law to keep. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Ending
You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. If we ever shut the service down, we will give notice and time to export your records.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be settled between us will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Missouri, unless the law where you live gives you a right that says otherwise.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app or by email before the change takes effect.
