These terms apply whenever you use the Soma Squad website, dashboards or the Soma App, as a parent, supporter, volunteer, partner or visitor.
Anyone enrolling a child, giving, volunteering, partnering with us, or simply browsing the site agrees to these terms. A child does not agree to these terms themselves; their parent or guardian does, on their behalf, when enrolling them.
Keep your sign in details private, and tell us straight away if you think someone else has access to your account. A parent’s PIN protects Child mode; do not share it with anyone outside your family. We may suspend an account that is used to put a child at risk or to misuse the platform.
Gifts are processed in Kenyan shillings through Paystack, by M-Pesa or card. A monthly gift by M-Pesa sends a new prompt to your phone each month, because M-Pesa does not support automatic recurring payments; a monthly gift by card is charged automatically unless you pause or cancel it from your dashboard. You can change or pause a monthly gift at any time.
A receipt is issued for every successful gift. If a payment was made in error, contact us at [email protected] and we will look into a refund.
Anything a child makes in a session or in the app belongs to that child and their family. By giving publishing consent, a family allows us to show that work, with first name only, in the public library and Mission Log. You can withdraw that consent at any time, which removes the work from public view going forward.
Please do not copy or reuse a child’s published story, drawing or recording without asking us first.
Breaking these rules, especially anything that puts a child at risk, may lead to an account being closed and, where relevant, a report under our safeguarding policy.
We may update these terms from time to time. We will update the date at the top of this page, and tell registered users by email if a change is significant.
These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya.
