Cache Kid Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 31 May 2026

Provider: Cachekid

Contact: support@cachekid.com

These Terms and Conditions explain the rules for using Cache Kid, including the Cache Kid macOS app and the Cache Kid website.

Please read these Terms carefully before using Cache Kid. By downloading, installing, purchasing, accessing, or using Cache Kid, you agree to these Terms.

1. About Cache Kid

Cache Kid is a macOS utility that helps you scan, review, and move selected creative application cache files to the macOS Trash.

Cache Kid is designed for creative professionals who use apps such as video editing, motion design, photo, design, audio, 3D, and related creative tools. Cache Kid focuses on known cache, preview, render, log, and temporary file locations.

Cache Kid is not a general-purpose file deletion tool, antivirus product, backup product, system repair tool, or whole-Mac cleaner.

2. Who Provides Cache Kid

Cache Kid is provided by Cachekid.

For support or legal questions, contact support@cachekid.com.

3. Apple Terms Also Apply

Cache Kid is distributed through the Mac App Store. Your download, purchase, payment, refund request, App Store account, Family Sharing, and use of App Store services are also governed by Apple's applicable terms, rules, and policies.

If these Terms conflict with Apple's applicable Mac App Store terms in relation to Apple's services, Apple's terms may apply to that part of the transaction or service.

4. Licence To Use Cache Kid

Subject to these Terms and Apple's applicable terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Cache Kid on macOS devices you own or control, for personal or internal business use.

You must not:

• Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from Cache Kid except where permitted by law.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where permitted by law.
• Use Cache Kid to develop a competing product by copying its design, functionality, or content.
• Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer Cache Kid except as permitted by Apple's terms.
• Use Cache Kid in a way that breaches law, infringes rights, or interferes with the operation of the app, website, Mac App Store, RevenueCat, or related services.

5. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Reviewing scan results before cleaning.
• Choosing which cache items to move to Trash.
• Keeping your own backups.
• Checking that important projects, media, exports, documents, client files, and creative work are safely stored before cleaning cache.
• Restoring items from Trash if you decide you still need them.
• Emptying Trash yourself if you want to permanently remove items.
• Keeping macOS and your creative apps up to date.
• Using Cache Kid only on Macs and folders where you have the right to manage files.

Cache Kid can help identify likely cache files, but you remain responsible for the final decision to clean selected items.

6. How Cleaning Works

Cache Kid scans approved cache locations and displays cache items for review. When you clean selected items, Cache Kid moves those selected items to the macOS Trash.

Cache Kid does not permanently delete selected cache items itself. Permanent deletion happens only if you or macOS later empty Trash or otherwise remove the trashed items.

Some large cache locations may be grouped into a single review row. Cleaning a grouped row may move approved child cache items to Trash while leaving the parent cache folder in place for the creative app to reuse.

7. What Cache Kid Is Designed To Avoid

Cache Kid is designed to avoid cleaning user-created creative work, including:

• Project files.
• Source media.
• Exports.
• Documents.
• Final Cut libraries.
• Logic projects.
• iMovie libraries.
• Lightroom catalogs.
• Capture One catalogs.
• Resolve galleries.
• Adobe recovery folders.
• DAW sessions.
• Sample libraries.
• Archives.

Cache Kid includes safety checks intended to reject protected file types, symbolic links, paths outside approved cache locations, and folders that appear to contain protected creative content.

These safety checks reduce risk but cannot guarantee that every user setup, custom cache folder, third-party app behaviour, or file naming pattern will be interpreted correctly.

8. Custom Cache Locations

If Cache Kid allows you to add custom cache locations, you are responsible for choosing those folders carefully.

Custom cache locations should only be folders you understand and are comfortable treating as cache or temporary content. Do not add folders containing projects, source media, exports, client work, documents, sample libraries, archives, or other files you cannot afford to move to Trash.

Custom cache locations may be handled more conservatively than built-in locations and may require manual review.

9. Automatic Cleanup

If automatic cleanup features are available and you enable them, Cache Kid may prepare or clean eligible cache items according to your settings.

You are responsible for enabling, configuring, and reviewing automatic cleanup settings. You should only enable automatic cleanup if you understand what it does and are comfortable with the selected cache categories and rules.

Cache Kid may block or delay cleaning when related creative apps are running, where the app detects that cleaning could interfere with active creative work.

10. Creative App Compatibility

Creative applications can change their cache locations, file structures, file naming, and behaviour at any time. Cache Kid's supported locations and safety rules may not cover every version, configuration, plugin, beta release, custom setup, or external drive workflow.

Cache Kid does not guarantee that:

• Every cache file will be found.
• Every recoverable byte estimate will be exact.
• Every creative app will rebuild cache instantly.
• Cleaning cache will improve performance.
• Cleaning cache will solve storage, app, project, or system issues.
• Cache locations used by third-party apps will remain unchanged.

11. Backups

Cache Kid is not a backup service.

You should maintain current backups of your Mac, projects, media, exports, client files, and other important data. This may include Time Machine, external backups, cloud backups, versioned project backups, or other backup systems appropriate for your workflow.

Do not rely on Trash as your only recovery method.

12. Cache Kid Pro

Cache Kid may offer a free version and a paid Cache Kid Pro unlock.

The current product plan is:

• Scanning is free.
• Users receive two full free clean runs.
• Cache Kid Pro unlocks unlimited cleaning and Pro features such as automation.
• Cache Kid Pro is a one-time lifetime in-app purchase through the Mac App Store.
• There is no subscription in the current version.

Feature availability may change over time. Any App Store listing, in-app paywall, and purchase screen should be read carefully before purchasing.

13. Purchases, Billing, and Refunds

Purchases are processed by Apple through the Mac App Store. Apple handles payment methods, taxes, receipts, purchase history, Family Sharing where available, and refund requests.

To request a refund for a Mac App Store purchase, you generally need to use Apple's refund process, including reportaproblem.apple.com or the applicable Apple support channel for your region.

We do not receive your full payment card details.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified.

14. Australian Consumer Law

If you are an Australian consumer, Cache Kid comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

You may be entitled to a remedy if Cache Kid fails to meet a consumer guarantee. The available remedy may depend on whether the failure is major or minor and on the circumstances.

These Terms do not say that refunds are never available. Refunds, repairs, replacements, or other remedies may be available where required by law or Apple's applicable App Store processes.

15. Acceptable Use

You must not use Cache Kid or the website:

• For unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive purposes.
• To access, alter, or delete files you do not have permission to manage.
• To interfere with, overload, damage, or disrupt the app, website, Mac App Store, RevenueCat, or related services.
• To bypass purchase checks, entitlement checks, security features, sandbox restrictions, or technical limits.
• To misrepresent Cache Kid, its provider, or your relationship with us.
• To scrape, copy, or reuse website content, branding, or app materials in a way that infringes intellectual property rights.

16. Intellectual Property

Cache Kid, including its name, app design, website content, text, graphics, icons, interface elements, code, documentation, and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

You receive a licence to use Cache Kid under these Terms. You do not receive ownership of Cache Kid or its intellectual property.

Third-party names, app names, product names, and trademarks belong to their respective owners. References to creative applications are for compatibility and descriptive purposes only and do not imply endorsement unless expressly stated.

17. Third-Party Services

Cache Kid relies on third-party services for some functionality, including:

• Apple, for Mac App Store distribution, in-app purchases, payment processing, refunds, and platform services.
• RevenueCat, for purchase entitlement management and purchase restoration.

Those third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services except to the extent required by law.

18. Website Content

The Cache Kid website may include product information, documentation, screenshots, marketing copy, support information, and links.

We try to keep website content accurate and current, but website content may not always reflect the latest app version, feature availability, pricing, supported cache locations, compatibility, or App Store metadata.

If precise purchase terms, compatibility information, or feature availability matter to you, check the Mac App Store listing and in-app purchase screen before purchasing.

19. Privacy

Our handling of information is described in the Cache Kid Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains what the app stores locally, what purchase information may be processed by RevenueCat and Apple, what support information we may receive, and what the app does not collect.

20. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cache Kid is provided "as is" and "as available".

We do not promise that Cache Kid will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every Mac, compatible with every creative app version, or suitable for every workflow.

We do not promise that cleaning cache will improve performance, prevent storage issues, fix creative app problems, or recover a specific amount of storage.

These disclaimers do not limit rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded.

21. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or economic loss, including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of production time, loss of data, loss of projects, loss of media, client losses, or business interruption.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability connected with Cache Kid is limited to the amount you paid for Cache Kid Pro in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including non-excludable consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.

22. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense arising from your misuse of Cache Kid, your breach of these Terms, your unlawful conduct, or your use of Cache Kid on files, folders, devices, or systems you do not have permission to manage.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent the loss is caused by our fraud, wilful misconduct, negligence, or breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee.

23. Changes To Cache Kid

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue parts of Cache Kid over time, including supported cache locations, safety rules, Pro features, automation features, pricing, website content, and third-party integrations.

If a change materially affects paid functionality, we will handle that change consistently with applicable law and Apple's applicable App Store rules.

24. Changes To These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Cache Kid website with a new "Last updated" date.

If a change is material, we may provide additional notice where reasonable. Your continued use of Cache Kid after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms, except where further consent is required by law.

25. Termination

You may stop using Cache Kid at any time by quitting and uninstalling the app.

We may suspend or terminate access to Cache Kid or related services if you materially breach these Terms, misuse the app, attempt to bypass purchases or security controls, or where required by law or Apple policies.

Termination does not affect rights or obligations that are intended to continue, including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, payment obligations, privacy, and dispute provisions.

26. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia and the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Australia.

The courts of Queensland, Australia have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to these Terms.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under consumer protection laws in your country, state, or territory that cannot be excluded.
