User Accounts

When You create an account with Us, You must provide Us information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of Your account on Our Service.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that You use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under Your password, whether Your password is with Our Service or a Third-Party Social Media Service.

You agree not to disclose Your password to any third party. You must notify Us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of Your account.

You may not use as a username the name of another person or entity or that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to any rights of another person or entity other than You without appropriate authorization, or a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene.

Subscription and Billing Terms

The Service is offered to home care agencies on a subscription basis. The following terms govern Your subscription, billing, and payment obligations. Specific pricing, billing frequency, and any custom terms for Your agency are set out in the separate Service Agreement executed during agency onboarding. In the event of a conflict between this section and an executed Service Agreement, the Service Agreement controls.

Fees and Billing

Subscription fees and any per-caregiver, per-message, or usage-based fees are presented to You at the time of signup and in Your account billing settings. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, subscription fees are billed monthly or annually in advance, depending on the plan You select.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor (Stripe, Inc.). By providing payment information, You authorize Us and our payment processor to charge the payment method on file for all amounts due under Your subscription. Your payment information is handled in accordance with Stripe's privacy policy and security practices; the Company does not store full payment-card numbers on its own systems.

Auto-Renewal

Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate for Your plan, unless You cancel before the next renewal date. By subscribing, You authorize Us to charge the payment method on file for each renewal until You cancel.

Failed Payments

If a payment fails (for example, due to an expired card or insufficient funds), We may retry the payment using commercially reasonable methods. If We are unable to collect payment after reasonable retries, We may suspend or terminate access to the Service until the outstanding balance is paid in full.

Price Changes

We may change subscription pricing from time to time. We will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price increase by email or in-app notice. Price changes take effect on the next renewal after the notice period; Your current billing period will be honored at the existing rate. Continued use of the Service after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Taxes

Subscription fees are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value-added, goods-and-services, or similar transaction taxes. You are responsible for paying any such taxes, and We may add them to invoices as required by applicable law.

Chargebacks

If You believe a charge is in error, please contact us at [email protected] before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with Your card issuer. Initiating a chargeback for a legitimately incurred charge without first contacting Us may result in suspension of Your account pending resolution.

Refunds and Cancellations

The Service is sold on a subscription basis. The following terms govern cancellations and refunds. Specific terms for Your agency, if different, are set out in the separate Service Agreement; in the event of conflict, the Service Agreement controls.

No Refunds for Completed Periods

Except where required by applicable law, fees paid for a completed or in-progress billing period are non-refundable. We do not pro-rate refunds for partial-month or partial-year use, including cancellations made mid-period.

How to Cancel

You may cancel Your subscription at any time:

• From the in-app billing settings on Your agency account, or
• By emailing [email protected] from an email address associated with Your account.

Cancellation stops auto-renewal at the end of Your current billing period. Your access to the Service continues through the paid period; no further charges will be made after the period ends.

Refund Eligibility

We may, at our sole discretion, issue a partial or full refund in the following situations:

• A duplicate charge resulting from a billing error on Our side.
• A documented Service outage that materially prevented You from using the Service for an extended period.
• Where required by applicable consumer-protection law in Your jurisdiction.

Refund requests should be sent to [email protected] with a description of the issue and any supporting documentation. We aim to respond within five (5) business days.

Free Trials

If a free trial is offered, the trial converts automatically to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless You cancel before the trial ends. You will not be charged during the trial; the first charge occurs on the day the trial converts. The auto-renewal terms above apply from that point forward.

Effect of Cancellation on Data

After cancellation, We may retain Your data for a reasonable period to allow reactivation, comply with legal obligations, and resolve any outstanding disputes. You may request export of Your agency's data prior to cancellation or deletion of Your data after cancellation by emailing [email protected]. Some data may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (see the Privacy Policy).

Content Backups

Although regular backups of Content are performed, the Company does not guarantee there will be no loss or corruption of data.

The Company will provide support and attempt to troubleshoot any known or discovered issues that may affect the backups of Content. But You acknowledge that the Company has no liability related to the integrity of Content or the failure to successfully restore Content to a usable state.

You agree to maintain a complete and accurate copy of any Content in a location independent of the Service.

Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding Content provided by You or other users), features and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of the Company and its licensors.

The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the Country and foreign countries.

Our trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service without the prior written consent of the Company.

We strongly advise You to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party web sites or services that You visit.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend Your Account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if You breach these Terms of Service.

Upon termination, Your right to use the Service will cease immediately. If You wish to terminate Your Account, You may simply discontinue using the Service.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of the Company and any of its suppliers under any provision of these Terms and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount actually paid by You through the Service or 100 USD if You haven't purchased anything through the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Service, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Service, or otherwise in connection with any provision of these Terms), even if the Company or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these states, each party's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

"AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" Disclaimer

The Service is provided to You "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Service, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of the Company's service providers makes any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied: (i) as to the operation or availability of the Service, or the information, content, and materials or products included thereon; (ii) that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; (iii) as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information or content provided through the Service; or (iv) that the Service, its servers, the content, or e-mails sent from or on behalf of the Company are free of viruses, scripts, trojan horses, worms, malware, timebombs or other harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to You. But in such a case the exclusions and limitations set forth in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.

Governing Law

The laws of the Country, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern these Terms and Your use of the Service. Your use of the Application may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

Severability and Waiver

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Waiver

Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these Terms shall not effect a party's ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

We reserve the right, at Our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material We will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect.
