About us

Kitho exists for teams who do good work together but rarely share a room. When the hallway chats, birthday cake and Friday lunches disappear, people can start to feel like names on a screen. A ten-minute game on a video call won't fix everything, but it gets people laughing together, and that's where connection starts.

Why "Kitho"

Our name grows from kith, an old English word for your people: the friends and neighbors you know well, as in "kith and kin." For most of history, your kith were the folks you swapped stories with at the end of the day. Remote work scattered that circle across cities and time zones. We added the O for the circle itself, and we build every game to help a team close it again.

What we make

Kitho gives managers, HR teams and meeting hosts ready-to-customize games built for remote and hybrid work: word and number bingo, crosswords, virtual escape rooms, word scrambles and word searches. You add your team's words, inside jokes, values and trivia, then play on screen or print cards in minutes. No design skills or long setup required.

How we think about it

• Quick to run. Most games are ready in under five minutes, so they fit into a standing meeting instead of needing their own event.
• Inclusive by design. Games work on any device and across time zones, and nobody has to perform on camera to take part.
• Free to start. The Free plan covers a typical team huddle. Premium adds branding and bigger games for people running engagement across a department.
• Respectful of your data. The words you enter are your content. We don't sell it.

Who we are

Kitho is a product of Genuine Quality Enterprises, LLC, a business built on the idea that quality comes from doing simple things well and treating people genuinely. We bring that same approach to helping companies keep their remote employees connected, engaged and appreciated.

Terms of Use

Effective date: [Month Day, Year]

Draft for review. Have an attorney review this page before launch, and fill in the bracketed items.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Genuine Quality Enterprises, LLC ("we," "us" or "our"), which operates the Kitho website and games (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an employer or other organization, you confirm you have authority to accept these Terms for it.

1. Who can use the Service

The Service is intended for workplace use by adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or purchase a plan. The Service is not directed to children under 13.

2. Accounts

You're responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your login secure, and for all activity under your account. A Premium plan covers one organizer, and a Premium Team plan covers up to five named organizers. You may let one co-host use your account to help run a game, but you may not share access more widely. Tell us promptly at support@kithoapp.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Plans and purchases

Free. The Free plan is provided at no cost with the limits described in our pricing section.

Game Pass. A Game Pass is a one-time purchase that unlocks paid features for a single game, at the level you choose (for example, a number of bingo cards, or how long an online challenge stays open and how many players it allows). A bingo Game Pass includes the Bingo Game Manager and the purchased number of virtual and printable cards. These do not expire for as long as we operate the Service. If we ever discontinue the Service, we'll give at least 60 days' notice so you can print or save your cards. Online windows for other games begin when you create the challenge.

Premium and Premium Team. These are paid subscriptions billed in advance, monthly or annually, through our third-party payment processor. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel at any time, and your Premium features stay active until the end of the current billing period. Games you created stay available, but features that need Premium stop working after it ends.

We may change prices with at least [30] days' notice before your next renewal. Price changes never affect a Game Pass you've already bought.

4. Refunds

We encourage you to build and test games on the Free plan before you buy, so you know exactly what you'll get. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. We don't give refunds or credits for partial billing periods, for dissatisfaction with games you've created, or for mistakes made when entering game content. Please review your games carefully before printing or sharing them. While a Game Pass or subscription is active, you can edit and regenerate your games as often as you like at no extra cost.

5. Your content

"Your Content" means the words, clues, questions, answers, stories, company names and other material you enter into the Service. You keep ownership of Your Content. You give us a limited license to host, store, process and display Your Content only as needed to operate and improve the Service for you.

You're responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to use it. Don't include content that:

• harasses, demeans or discriminates against anyone, including on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability;
• is sexually explicit, violent or otherwise inappropriate for a workplace;
• shares confidential information, trade secrets or other people's personal information without permission; or
• infringes someone else's copyright, trademark or other rights.

6. Using the games you create

What you can do. You may print, display, share with participants and play the games you create for your organization's internal meetings, team-building, onboarding and company events, including events with clients. You may print and replay your games as often as you like.

What you can't do. Unless we give you written permission:

• On the Free plan, don't remove, cover or alter the "Made with Kitho" attribution on your games. Premium members may replace it only by using the built-in company name feature.
• Don't sell, resell or distribute games made with the Service, in printed or digital form, as products of their own.
• Don't upload games made with the Service to public websites, file-sharing services or template marketplaces. Sharing with your own participants for a game is fine.
• Don't copy our card layouts, themes, templates or game designs to build a competing product or service.
• Don't embed the Service or its games in another website or app.

7. Our intellectual property

The Service and the material in it are owned by Genuine Quality Enterprises, LLC or its licensors and protected by law. This includes the software, design, layout, look and graphics of the website, and the templates, themes and layouts used to produce bingo cards, puzzles and other games. Your Content remains yours. These Terms don't give you any rights to our trademarks, including the Kitho name and logo.

8. Acceptable use

Don't misuse the Service. That includes trying to access it by means other than the interface we provide, interfering with or disrupting it, scraping it, copying or reverse engineering its software, or using it to break any law.

9. Entertainment only; prizes and gambling

The Service and all its games are provided for entertainment and team-building purposes only. Our bingo cards, caller and other games have not been reviewed, approved or certified by any government or gaming authority. We make no promise that they are suitable for games where money or prizes of value are at stake, and we accept no responsibility if the fairness or operation of a game is challenged.

Laws on bingo, raffles, contests and prize games vary widely by state and country. We can't tell you whether a particular game is legal where you are. Before running any game that involves entry fees, cash, prizes of value or fundraising (including charity fundraising), it is your responsibility to get independent legal advice and follow local law. We are not liable if a game you run is found to be unlawful.

10. Availability and backup plans

We work to keep the Service reliable, but we can't guarantee it will be available at all times or that every feature will always work. If you're planning an important event, prepare for the possibility that the Service is unavailable before or during it, for example by printing your cards or saving your puzzles in advance. We are not liable for any loss caused by downtime or reduced functionality.

11. Changes to the Service

We may add, change or remove games and features from time to time. We'll try to give notice of significant changes to paid features, but we are not liable for any loss caused by those changes.

12. Printing

Printers and browsers vary. Before printing a full set of cards or puzzles, print a single test page to check layout, sizing and color. We are not liable for printing costs, wasted materials or printing errors.

13. Third-party services

We use third parties, such as our payment processor and hosting providers, to run the Service. Their services are governed by their own terms.

14. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that games will produce any particular engagement outcome.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Genuine Quality Enterprises, LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50.

16. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify Genuine Quality Enterprises, LLC against claims arising from Your Content, games you run using the Service (including any prize or fundraising game), or your violation of these Terms.

17. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access, including access to paid features, if you violate these Terms or if needed to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we'll give notice on the site or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [County, State].
