HeyKiddo LLC

[v. August 2023]

 

These Terms of Service constitute an agreement between User and HeyKiddo. By downloading, installing, registering to use, accessing and using the Application (defined below), the User signifies consent to, and agrees to be bound by, these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service govern all rights and obligations regarding the use of the Application.

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

By downloading, installing, registering to use, accessing and using the Application, you acknowledge and agree that:

1.       No Healthcare. HeyKiddo is not a healthcare provider. HeyKiddo does not provide or render any medical advice and does not engage in any mental health diagnosis, treatment, or healthcare recommendations of any kind. HeyKiddo does not offer mental health consultations, therapy sessions, or counseling services. The HeyKiddo™ App and all of its content is designed for general informational purposes only. Thus, the use of the App (including access to and use of information and content) does not create and is not intended to create a provider-patient relationship as defined by state or federal law. Similarly, no therapist-patient, counselor-patient or any other formal relationship is ever created between any user of the HeyKiddo™ App and HeyKiddo. HeyKiddo is not intended to replace or substitute professional mental health services, or medical treatment. If you are (or anyone you know is) experiencing mental health concerns, seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional. In case of an emergency or crisis, contact applicable emergency services.

 

2.       Use of Content. All information and content contained on, or available through, the App is for general information purposes only and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for healthcare or medical advice. HeyKiddo makes no representation and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of information or content contained on, or available through, the App. All such information and content are for general information purposes only. Users should always seek the advice of a qualified health care professional with any questions or concerns regarding any individual needs and any medical conditions. HeyKiddo encourages all Users to consult with qualified professionals in connection with any information read or accessed through the App. Most importantly, Users should never ignore or disregard advice provided by a healthcare professional or delay seeking medical treatment based upon any information or content available on, or through, the App.

 

3.       Specific Acknowledgement and Consent.

Each of the following are true and accurate (and each constitute an eligibility requirement for registration to use the App):

a.       you read and understand and accept these Terms of Service;

b.       you have the authority to agree to these Terms of Service and you are 18 years of age or older;

c.       your use is solely for your personal, private and individual purpose;

d.       you will ensure your name, contact details and related information inputted into the system (including without limitation the data provided when a User registers for an account) are accurate and up to date;

e.       you have the right and authority to supply any and all data, including personal information about the Child described below; and

f.        any data you supply, including personal information will be governed by the Privacy Policy.

 

4.       No Endorsement. HeyKiddo does not recommend, endorse or make any representation about the efficacy, appropriateness or suitability of any specific tests, practices, products, procedures, treatments, opinions, healthcare providers or other information that may be relevant for, or connected with any Child or adult's mental health or health care. User's interactions with the App are not intended to replace User's relationship with User's regular health care practitioners or primary care physician. HEYKIDDO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE FOR ANY ADVICE, COURSE OF TREATMENT, DIAGNOSIS OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION, SERVICE OR PRODUCTS THAT A USER OBTAINS OR ACCESSES THROUGH THE SERVICE.

 

If you are under the age of 18, or if you are not eligible to register and use the App for any reason, or do not agree to these Terms of Service, you may not download, install, register for, access or use the Application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a User may use the App to engage with the User's Child. Therefore, although the Child may not register for the App, the Child may use the App alongside the User without violating these Terms of Service.

User Responsibility and Registration. To access and use the App, the User is required to register for an account. The User will be solely responsible for the confidentiality of the login IDs and passwords. User is further solely responsible and liable for (a) its use of the App; (b) all Content (as defined below) it makes available, distributes or transmits through the Application; (c) creating and maintaining accurate profile(s) solely of its Child; and (c) compliance with all applicable laws. If the User believes that User's account is no longer secure, then the User must immediately notify HeyKiddo at suppport@hey-kiddo.com.

 

Connection to the Application. User shall be responsible, at its own expense, for procuring and maintaining the telecommunications, networks, peripherals and other items necessary to access the Application. User shall be solely responsible for all aspects of Internet use and connectivity. As such, the Internet connection required to use the Application, and any associated charges (e.g., mobile data expenses) incurred by the use of the Application are the User's exclusive responsibility and made solely at the User's expense. Transmitting and receiving real-time updates to and from the Application, requires an online connection between a cellular device and the Internet.

 

CONTENT AND INFORMATION

Content. Users may have the ability to upload, submit and post information and content within the Application, such as information supplied in response to questionnaires, information about a Child's emotional state, and data about a Child's behavior, which content may be in any available format, including any data, video, audio, photographs, location, images, text, replies, comments, graphics, geo-data, and other materials or information ("Content"). Content can include, for example, a Child's academic schedule, interdisciplinary meetings, emotional progress, and similar information.

 

By providing Content, User represents and warrants that it is the owner of the Content, or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to submit the Content and to license to HeyKiddo the right use and distribute the Content as described in these Terms of Service. In particular, User represents and warrants that it is authorized to provide all Content pertaining to Kiddos and that it is not violating any law or right of any third party in doing so.

 

User, and not HeyKiddo, is solely and completely responsible and liable for all Content it submits or uses with the Application. Thus, the User assumes sole responsibility for any Content and User alone is liable for the consequences when User submits and/or posts Content. By providing Content in or through the App, User grants HeyKiddo a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense) to host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, and distribute the Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels now known or hereafter developed.

 

As of the Effective Date of these Terms of Service, the App does not provide a mechanism for any User to download Content or any other information supplied by HeyKiddo.

(1)    is false, misleading, libelous, private, or other disparaging content;

Third Party Products may require notices to other licensors and/or compliance with additional Terms of Service. If applicable, such required Third Party Product notices and/or additional terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. Further, HeyKiddo may provide tools through the App that enable User to export information, including Content, to third-party services. By using one of these tools, User agrees that HeyKiddo may transfer that information to the applicable Third Party Service. Third Party Services are not under HeyKiddo's control, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, HeyKiddo is not responsible for any Third Party Service's use of User's exported information.

 

Suspension. HeyKiddo may temporarily suspend User's access to any portion or all of the Application if: (i) HeyKiddo reasonably determines that (A) there is a threat or attack on the Application; (B) User's use of the Application disrupts or poses a security risk to the Application or to any other User or vendor of HeyKiddo; (C) User is using the Application for fraudulent or illegal activities; (D) subject to applicable law, User has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; or (E) the provision of the Application to User is prohibited by applicable law; (ii) any vendor of HeyKiddo has suspended or terminated HeyKiddo access to or use of any Third Party Services required to enable User to access the Application; or (iii) User's failure to pay fees when due. HeyKiddo will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that User may incur as a result of a suspension. Although HeyKiddo will not review Content, as described herein, HeyKiddo may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or Conditions or is otherwise objectionable.

 

Push Notifications. When User installs the App, User agrees to receive push notifications, which are messages a software application sends to Users on User's mobile device when the app is not on. User can turn off notifications by visiting User's mobile device's "settings" page.

 

Emails. Subject to the Privacy Policy, HeyKiddo may send Users emails concerning its products and services, as well as those of third parties. User may opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in the promotional email itself.

(1)   Apple, Inc. bears no duties or obligations to User under the Terms, including, but not limited to, any obligation to furnish User with maintenance and support;

(2)   User will have no claims, and User waives any and all rights and causes of action against Apple with respect to the Application, including, but not limited to claims related to maintenance and support, intellectual property infringement, liability, consumer protection, or regulatory or legal conformance;

(3)   Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of the Terms. Upon User's acceptance of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against User as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

 

Maintenance, Support, Modification. HeyKiddo has no obligation to provide any type or level of support for the Application. To the extent HeyKiddo offers support, it will do so subject to published policies, if any. HeyKiddo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the App at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing any features or the functionality of the App), temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to Users. HeyKiddo will have no liability for any change to the App or any suspension or termination of User's access to or use of the App.

 

Monitoring Content. HeyKiddo does not control and does not have any obligation to monitor User Content or any content made available by third parties. User acknowledges and agrees that HeyKiddo reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the App for operational and other purposes. If at any time HeyKiddo chooses to monitor the Content, HeyKiddo still assumes no responsibility or liability for content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of Content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with the HeyKiddo Privacy Policy.

 

Automated Decision Making. The App may contain technology that includes the ability to track usage, make decisions, predict behavior, and draw certain analysis from User's responses and navigation within the App. These automated decisions and profiling do not contain any legally significant effects and do not involve the denial of or approval for any services.  However, should any User wish to opt-out of this type of technology, the User must submit a request to support@hey-kiddo.com and HeyKiddo will eliminate the use of such technology for that User, which may include deleting the User's registration and precluding access to and use of the App.

 

TERM AND TERMINATION.

Commencement: These Terms of Service shall begin on the first date on which the User downloads, installs, accesses, registers or uses the Application.

 

Termination Period: These Terms of Service will remain in effect unless and until the Application is terminated, as described below.

 

Cancellation or Termination of Application: The User may terminate use of the Application at any time and for whatever reason. User is not obligated to advise HeyKiddo of such termination. However, if User would also like for HeyKiddo to delete User's HeyKiddo account and User's personal information contained in the account, please submit a request to support@hey-kiddo.com and provide User's name, the username and the email associated with User's HeyKiddo account. On receiving such a request, HeyKiddo will use reasonable efforts to delete such information and will do so in accordance with HeyKiddo's Privacy Policy, noting that information may not be deleted immediately from any back-up systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Subscription Fees are not paid for more than ninety (90) days, the account will be deemed inactive and all registrations and profiles will be deleted. For more information, please read the Privacy Policy.

 

Termination by HeyKiddo: HeyKiddo retains the right to block User's access to and use of the Application and discontinue use, at any time and for any reason HeyKiddo deems appropriate, at its sole and absolute discretion. Thus, HeyKiddo may terminate these Terms of Service immediately without notice to User if: (i) User fails to comply with any term or condition of these Terms of Service; and/or (ii) User is liquidated or dissolved, or becomes insolvent, or suffers a receiver or trustee to be appointed for it, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or institutes or has instituted against it any proceeding under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or the reorganization or relief of debtors; and/or (iii) the agreement between User and HeyKiddo has terminated or been cancelled, such as for failure to pay fees when due.

 

Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms of Service for any reason, User's right to access and use the Application shall be terminated and revoked and User shall immediately discontinue use of the Application and User shall delete, destroy, or return all copies of network passwords, links and other materials providing access to the Application. Upon termination or cancellation of these Terms of Service for any reason HeyKiddo will cease performing any actions in connection with the Application such as support, hosting, or access to the Application for, or to, the User. The sections of these Terms of Service pertaining to Termination, Ownership, Warranties, Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability, and General Provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms of Service.

 

OWNERSHIP AND CONFIDENTIALITY

HeyKiddo Ownership. HeyKiddo is the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in and to the Application and all derivative works thereof, including, without limitation all copyrights, trade secrets, patents, and trademarks. User does not acquire any right, title or interest in or to the Application except in accordance with these Terms of Service. HeyKiddo (or its licensors) shall hold all title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights to any modifications, updates, copies, translations, improvements, adaptations or incorporations of the Application. For avoidance of doubt, HeyKiddo owns all right, title and interest in and to all visual interfaces, graphics, designs, compilations, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the App provided by HeyKiddo. HeyKiddo reserves all rights not granted expressly in these Terms of Service.

 

User Information: The collection, maintenance and use of all personally identifiable and related information about, or in connection with, Users and Child shall be governed by the HeyKiddo's Privacy Policy. User warrants that its collection of all data pertaining to any User is, and shall remain, in accordance with all laws and that User has, and will continue to have, all right to collect, maintain and use that data. The collection, maintenance and use of data as described in this paragraph means and includes, without limitation, obtaining data, importing data into the Application, exporting data from the Application, identifying and transmitting information about User and Child.

 

FEES AND PAYMENT

Fees. The fees for access to and use of the App shall be in the amount set forth on the form when User downloads the App from the applicable store, which may be monthly, annually ("Subscription Fees") without offset or deduction. No refunds will be issued. All fees shall be payable in U.S. dollars. Users will be responsible for payment of any additional fees or expenses imposed by User's payment card provider or the payment processor. In the event a User has acquired the App through a Third Party Partner of HeyKiddo, the User must insert the applicable code at the time of download to avail itself of the discounts and other fee arrangements between HeyKiddo and the Third Party Partner.

 

Payment. By providing payment information, the User authorizes HeyKiddo to supply the information to the payment processor and for the payment processor to charge the User for all amounts due and payable immediately upon download of the App and either every thirty (30) days or annually thereafter as applicable, with no additional notice to or consent from the User. HeyKiddo also reserves the right at any time to change its fees and payment procedures, including its payment options and terms, either immediately upon posting updated terms of service or by other notice to users generally. The User agrees to immediately notify HeyKiddo (and the payment processor, if applicable) of any change in billing address or other information and the User recognizes that failure to maintain accurate payment information may result in a loss of access to and use of the App (including all of the Content and other information).

 

Payment Questions. If User has any question about any fees or charges to User's payment card, please contact us at support@hey-kiddo.com. We have the sole discretion to determine how billing disputes between us will be resolved.

 

Payment Processor. Except as otherwise determined between HeyKiddo and a Third Party Partner, all transactions will be completed through the use of a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe), which is selected by HeyKiddo. Users must submit a valid payment card (debit, credit) for use with the applicable third-party payment processor. HeyKiddo does not operate, own, or control the payment processor; thus, the use of a payment card is governed by the agreement between the User and the payment processor and/or the payment processor, if any. HeyKiddo may change the third party processor from time to time with or without notice to the User; provided, however, Users consent to the transfer of the data for use by a different third party processor (as detailed more fully in the Privacy Policy).

 

Taxes. If any purchase obligates HeyKiddo to collect a sales tax, use tax, or any other equivalent tax ("Sales Tax"), HeyKiddo will collect Sales Tax in addition to the Subscription Fees. If any User fails to remit the applicable Sales Tax to HeyKiddo, the User will be responsible for the payment of the Sales Tax (and any related penalties or interest) to the appropriate tax authority and will indemnify HeyKiddo for any liability or expense HeyKiddo may incur in connection with the payment of Sales Taxes.

This provision shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service for any reason.

Assignment.

EACH USER AGREES TO GIVE UP USER'S RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend rights under this agreement (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). All rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury.

 

User AND HEYKIDDO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN USER'S OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both User and HeyKiddo agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
