Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and BabyTalk when you use our website, web app or mobile apps. By creating an account or using BabyTalk, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

1. Who can use BabyTalk

You must be at least 18 years old. You may create a profile for a child only if you're that child's parent or legal guardian, or the parent or guardian has given you permission.

2. Your account

• Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep your sign-in details to yourself.
• You're responsible for what happens under your account.
• Tell us at hello@baby-talk.tech if you think someone else has accessed it.

3. Your content

The profiles, photos and notes you add are yours. You give BabyTalk permission to store them and to display them to you and to the people you share links with. That permission exists only so we can run the service, and it ends when you delete the content or your account. We never sell your content. See our Privacy Policy.

You're responsible for what you add. Make sure you have the right to share it, including the names and phone numbers of emergency contacts and other people you list.

4. Sharing links

• You choose who receives a link, what it includes and how long it lasts.
• Anyone who has a link, and its code if you set one, can view what it shares. Send links only to people you trust, and send the code separately.
• Allergy alerts are always included on a shared profile, for the child's safety.
• Turn off a link in the app as soon as it's no longer needed.
• We can't control what a recipient does with information after they've seen it, such as taking a screenshot.

5. Not medical advice or an emergency service

BabyTalk is a tool for organizing and passing on information you provide. It doesn't give medical advice, and we don't check what you enter. Keep profiles accurate and up to date, because the people caring for your child may rely on them.

In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Don't rely on BabyTalk being available at any particular moment, and make sure caregivers have critical information another way too.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Add information about a child or another person without the right to do so.
• Access, or try to access, someone else's account, profiles or links, including by guessing link codes.
• Upload anything unlawful, harmful or that infringes someone else's rights.
• Interfere with the service, probe it for weaknesses, or access it with automated tools.
• Copy, resell or reverse engineer BabyTalk.

7. The service

BabyTalk is currently free for parents and guardians. We may add, change or remove features, and we'll try to give notice of changes that significantly affect you. If we introduce paid features, we'll tell you the price before you're charged anything.

The BabyTalk name, logo, design and software belong to us. These terms don't give you any rights to them beyond using the service as intended.

8. Ending your account

You can stop using BabyTalk at any time and ask us to delete your account by emailinghello@baby-talk.tech. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts other people or the service at risk. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you first.

9. Disclaimers

BabyTalk is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose, or that information in a profile is accurate or complete.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, BabyTalk and the people who work on it won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US $50.

Some places don't allow these limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be waived.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page, and we'll tell you by email or in the app about changes that matter. If you keep using BabyTalk after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.

12. General

If part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term right away, we haven't given up the right to do so later. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and BabyTalk about the service.
