Terms of Use
These terms cover this website and the apps Hoome makes, including Football Alarm Clock and Crumb & Kettle. The Caddy has its own terms at thecaddy.co.uk/terms, which apply to that app. By installing or using one of our apps you agree to the terms that apply to it.
Last updated 9 September 2026.
Hoome Holdings Limited, company no. 09470477.
Who we are
Our apps and this website are operated by Hoome Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, number 09470477, at Lichfield Business Village, Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS13 6QG. Email [email protected].
Our prints are sold through Etsy. Purchases from The Grounds Man are governed by Etsy’s terms and the listing you buy from, not by this page.
Using our apps
We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to install and use each app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these terms and the rules of the store you downloaded it from.
You must be at least 13 to use our apps. If you are under 18, make sure a parent or guardian is happy for you to use them and to make any purchase.
Do not copy, modify, reverse engineer, resell or redistribute the apps, interfere with how they work, or use them to break the law or to harass anyone.
The apps are also subject to the store’s own licence terms. For apps from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement applies, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them.
Purchases
Everything you can buy in our apps is sold by the store you downloaded the app from. Apple or Google take the payment, issue the receipt and handle refunds. We never see your card details and we cannot refund a purchase made through a store.
| App | What you can buy | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Football Alarm Clock | Rival wake-ups | One-off purchase. Nothing renews. |
| Football Alarm Clock | Matchday Pro: matchday and result-reactive alarms | Yearly subscription. Renews until you cancel in your store account, at least 24 hours before renewal. |
| Crumb & Kettle | Remove Ads | One-off purchase, shared with your Family Sharing group. Nothing renews. |
| The Caddy | Pro day pass, monthly and yearly | See thecaddy.co.uk/terms. |
Prices are shown before you pay and include VAT where it applies. A one-off purchase you have already made is never affected by a price change. If a subscription price changes, the store asks for your agreement before charging the new price, and you can cancel before renewal and keep the feature until the period you paid for ends. Use Restore Purchases in the app to bring purchases to a new device.
Adverts in Crumb & Kettle
The free version of Crumb & Kettle shows adverts between shifts, never during one. Some are optional and give a small in-game reward for watching. Adverts are served by Google and you can choose non-personalised adverts in the consent form or in Settings. Buying Remove Ads switches adverts off for good.
Your content
Some features let you create content: a voice note, a name or a message in a rival wake-up; scorecards, group round names, swing videos and a profile photo in The Caddy. You own what you create.
So that the feature works, you give us permission to store, copy, transmit and display your content to the people you choose to share it with, for as long as the feature needs. For rival wake-ups that is at most 24 hours. You can withdraw the permission by deleting the content or your account, or by letting a wake-up expire.
You are responsible for what you create and send. Only share content you have the right to share, and only include other people’s names or voices with their agreement.
Rules for what you send
Rival wake-ups are for friendly rivalry between people who know each other. Do not send content that is:
- abusive, threatening, harassing or intended to intimidate;
- hateful or discriminatory on any ground;
- sexual, obscene or otherwise unsuitable for the recipient;
- someone else’s personal information, recording or creative work without their permission;
- spam, advertising or a link to anything malicious;
- unlawful, or encouraging anything unlawful.
Do not send wake-ups to people who have asked you not to. If you receive content that breaks these rules, email [email protected] with the link. We can remove the content, block the sender’s device from the relay, and where the store allows it, revoke the sender’s access to the feature. We do not screen content before it is delivered and are not responsible for what other users send.
Alarms, fixtures and data
Football Alarm Clock relies on your phone’s alarm and notification services and on a third-party fixtures feed. We do our best to make alarms ring and fixtures accurate, but kick-off times move, feeds go down and phones get switched off. Do not rely on any alarm app, including ours, as the only thing standing between you and a flight, an exam or a job interview.
Whether an alarm can ring when your phone is muted depends on your operating system. On iOS 26 and later and on Android it can. On older iOS versions it cannot, and the app tells you so.
Club names and badges belong to the clubs and their licensors. Our apps are not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any football club, league or governing body.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep our apps and this website running but do not promise they will be available without interruption or free of faults. We may change, suspend or retire features, and we may stop supporting older operating systems. Where a change removes something you have paid for, we will tell you first and, where we can, put it right.
Intellectual property
The apps, this website and everything in them that we made, including the code, artwork, sounds, text and the Hoome, Football Alarm Clock and Crumb & Kettle names and marks, belong to Hoome Holdings Limited or our licensors. These terms do not give you any right to use them beyond using the apps as intended.
Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.
Otherwise, because our apps are consumer products, our liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you have paid us for the app in question in the twelve months before the problem arose. Where an app is free and you have paid nothing, our liability is limited to what the law requires.
We are not liable for a missed alarm, a wrong fixture time, lost game progress, or for content other users send you, except where that loss was caused by our failure to take reasonable care.
Your rights as a consumer
If you are a consumer in the UK, you have legal rights that these terms do not take away, including rights when digital content is faulty or not as described. For purchases made through Apple or Google, your right to cancel and any refund are handled by the store under its own terms. For advice about your rights, contact Citizens Advice or your local Trading Standards office.
Ending things
You can stop using an app at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access to a feature or app if you break these terms, and where an account exists we may close it. Ending access does not refund purchases made through a store, which remain subject to the store’s refund policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you we will tell you in the app or on this page before it takes effect, and the date at the top will change. A purchase you have already made is governed by the terms that applied when you made it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes may be brought in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in your own country’s courts, and nothing here removes protections you have under the law where you live.
