Smartcare: Terms of Service for Parents

SmartcareOS, LLC

TERMS OF SERVICE FOR PARENTS AT CHILD CARE CENTERS USING SMARTCARE – (Last Updated: December 2nd, 2020)

Please read these Terms of Service (these “Terms”) carefully because they govern your use of SmartcareOS, LLC’s (“Smartcare,” “us” or “we”) (i) website located at https://smartcare.com (the “Site”); (ii) mobile device application (“App”); and (iii) child care management-related services accessible via the Site and the App. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, the App, and such services are collectively called the “Services.”

These terms include an Arbitration Agreement that governs any disputes between you and us. Unless you opt out as described below, this Arbitration Agreement will:

Eliminate your right to a trial by jury; and
Substantially affect your rights, including preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class or consolidated proceedings.

Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, including the Agreement to Arbitrate set forth in Section 17, unless we have entered into a separate written agreement. If you don’t agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
Privacy Policy

Before using the Services, please carefully review our Privacy Policy, which is expressly incorporated into these Terms. All information provided to us as a result of your use of the Services, including personal information, will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we will provide notice to you of modifications, either via the Site, the App or by some other method of communication. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them, because if you continue to use the Services after we have notified you of the modified Terms via the Site or the App, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may no longer use the Services. Because our Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all, or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
Eligibility

You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older, capable of forming a binding contract with Smartcare, and not barred from using the Services under applicable law. In addition, if you enter any information through the Services, you represent and warrant that you are the parent or legal guardian of the individual subject of the information, or that you are otherwise authorized by the parent or legal guardian to enter such information.
Registration and Your Information

If you want to use certain features of the Services, you’ll have to create an account (“Account”). You can do this via the Site or App. It is important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account, and you agree to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you will not disclose your Account password to anyone, and you will notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.
Your Obligations

You agree not to: (i) resell, sublicense, or otherwise make the Services available to any third party; (ii) deactivate, impair, or circumvent any security or authentication measures of the Services; or (iii) modify, alter, decompile or reverse engineer any part of the Services. You agree to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to your use of the Services, including laws and regulations relating to privacy and third party proprietary rights.
User Generated Content

7.1 Your Responsibility. You may upload data, information, images and other materials to use with the Services (“User Generated Content” or “UGC”). Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any UGC. This means that you, not Smartcare, are entirely responsible for all UGC that you post, and that you can be held personally liable for comments that are defamatory, obscene, or libelous, or that violate these Terms, an obligation of confidentiality, or the rights of others. If any part of the UGC you post is not your original work, it is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permission(s) to post it. Because we do not control the UGC posted on or through the Services, we cannot and do not warrant or guarantee the truthfulness, integrity, suitability, or quality of that UGC. You also agree and understand that by accessing the Services, you may encounter UGC that you may consider to be objectionable. We have no responsibility for any UGC, including without limitation any errors or omissions therein. We are not liable for any loss or damage of any kind you may claim was incurred as a result of the use of any UGC posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available on or through the Services. The UGC posted on or through the Services expresses the personal opinions of the individuals who posted it, and does not necessarily reflect the views of Smartcare, or any person or entity associated with Smartcare.

7.2 Use of UGC. You own the UGC and the copyright in any UGC you post. We do not claim any copyrights in UGC. However, by using the Services you are granting us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, a nonexclusive, fully paid, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty–free, transferable license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, distribute, publicly display and perform, publish, transmit, remove, retain, repurpose, and commercialize any UGC you post, in any and all media or form of communication, whether now existing, or hereafter developed, without obtaining additional consent, without restriction, notification, or attribution, and without compensating you in any way, and to authorize others to do the same (consistent with the App’s settings). This means, for example, that if you share a photo using the Services, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (and you grant our sublicensees the same rights, including the Centers), all subject to the preferences you indicate in the App settings, and our obligations set forth in our Privacy Policy. For this reason, we ask that you not post any UGC that you do not wish to license to us, including any photographs, videos, confidential information, or product ideas. We may access and use the UGC you post, as necessary, to provide the Services to you, and to identify or resolve technical problems with the Services.

7.3 Your Deletion of UGC. You may remove your UGC by canceling your account or by contacting us at the information below and asking us to remove it. However, in certain instances, some of your UGC (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed, and copies of your UGC may continue to exist on the Services, including as granted to our sublicensees. We are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any of your UGC.

7.4 Disclosure/and or Removal of UGC. Smartcare has certain rights. We may share the UGC you post with our third-party service providers that help us to administer and provide the Services, or as directed by you. Additionally, we have the right (but do not assume the obligation) to:
- Monitor all UGC;
- Require that you avoid certain subjects;
- Remove or block any UGC at any time, without notice, at our sole and absolute discretion;
- Disclose any UGC and the identity of the user who posted it, in response to a subpoena, or whenever we believe that disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law or a court order, to prevent or investigate a possible crime or other violation of law, to protect the rights of Smartcare or others, or to enforce these Terms; and
- Terminate your access to and use of the Services, or to modify, edit or block your transmissions to the Services in our sole discretion.
You agree that our exercise of such discretion shall not render us the owner of any UGC you post, and that you will retain ownership thereof, as described above.

7.5 Restrictions on UGC. It is a condition of these Terms that you do not:
- Upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available:
  - Any UGC that is unlawful, harmful, hateful, threatening, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, racially disparaging, indecent, or invasive of another’s privacy;
  - Any UGC that constitutes or encourages activity that is illegal under criminal or civil law;
  - Any UGC that is false, misleading, or fraudulent;
  - Any UGC that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information or proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);
  - Any UGC that violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including any UGC which violates the patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, trade secret rights, confidentiality rights, contract rights, or any other rights of any individual, living or deceased, or any legal entity;
  - Any UGC that contains the image, name or likeness of anyone other than yourself, unless (i) that person is at least 18 years old and you have first obtained his/her express permission or (ii) that person is under 18 years old but you are his/her parent or legal guardian, or you have obtained express permission from that person’s parent or legal guardian;
  - Any request for, or solicitation of, any personal or private information from any individual;
  - Any request for, or solicitation of, money, goods, or services for private gain;
  - Any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; or
  - Any UGC that contains advertising, promotions or marketing, or which otherwise has a commercial purpose;
- Impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity; or
- Violate any local, state, national or international law, rule or regulation.
7.6 Additional Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that (i) you have, and will continue to have, the legal right and authority to access, use and disclose to Smartcare the UGC you post; and (ii) Smartcare’s use of the UGC in accordance with these Terms will not violate any applicable laws or regulations or cause a breach of any agreement or obligation between you and any third party.

7.7 Intellectual Property Limitation of Liability. Smartcare respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask visitors to the Site to do the same. If you believe that your work has been used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to Smartcare’s designated Copyright Agent:
1. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim has been infringed;
2. Identification of where the material that you claim to be infringing is located on the Site and/or the App;
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, including the law of copyright fair use;
4. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf;
5. Your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; and
6. Your physical or electronic signature.
Smartcare’s designated agent for notification of claims of copyright infringement on this Site and/or the App can be reached as follows:

Data
- Data Collected. You acknowledge that in connection with our provision of the Services, we will collect and process on your behalf personal data about (a) you, including names, email, phone numbers and any other information relating to your registration or use of the Services (“Parent Data”), and (b) the children you choose to include in your use of the Services, including their name(s), birthdate(s) and other biometric information (“Child Data”). Together, the Parent Data and Child Data are referred to as “Data.” With respect to such collection and processing of Data, you are, and will be deemed to be, responsible for such collection and processing and Smartcare is, and will be deemed to be, a subcontracting party, acting on your behalf at all times as a technology services provider. You are solely responsible for obtaining the requisite consent from the child’s parent or guardian to provide the Child Data.
- You Must Backup Your Data. You may access and download your UGC and certain Data (excluding credit card and bank account information) via the Services. Backups are performed by your child care center (“Center”) and not Smartcare. We will take reasonable precautions to protect the security of your UGC and Data; however, because no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of any information. Smartcare will not be responsible for any loss, destruction or corruption of your UGC or Data.
- Analytics Data. You acknowledge and agree that Smartcare may collect anonymous data with respect to the use and performance of the Services, and analyze your UGC and Data to create aggregate data that does not identify you or any individual; and that Smartcare will be the owner of such usage data and aggregate data.
Fees; Taxes
- Fees; Payment. As part of Smartcare’s services to the Center, the Center may use Smartcare’s Services to invoice and collect your child care tuition (“Tuition”) and other related fees owed to your Center. You may pay via credit card or automated clearing house (ACH) transaction. Together, your Tuition and any other fees you are charged by the Center are referred to as “Fees.” Some Fees charged to you by the Center are payable monthly in advance. Fees may be assessed on a “per child” basis (an amount multiplied by the number of children you have registered with the App) and will be charged for as long as you remain with the Center and/or your Center chooses to charge you the Fees. For all payments of Fees made through the invoicing and payment system, we may charge you a credit card processing fee which will be disclosed to you at the time of payment on American Express, Discover, Visa, and Mastercard accounts. In addition, for any failed ACH payments attempted, we may charge you a $30.00 processing fee within approximately five (5) business days after any failed ACH payment. We will make no more than three (3) failed attempts on a bank account before requiring a different method of payment from you. (These terms for credit card processing fees and attempts may be superseded by the terms of any third party that processes payments on behalf of Smartcare.)
- Taxes. If Smartcare has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes on the Fees for which you are responsible to pay to the Center, those amounts will be added to your monthly invoice from the Center, and you are responsible for paying them, unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
Termination

We may terminate your access to and use of the Services, at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you. You can stop using the Services at any time; you can also remove our App from your device at any time. Upon any termination, discontinuation or cancellation of the Services or your Account, all provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive, will survive, including, without limitation, the provisions entitled “Agreement to Terms,” “Privacy Policy,” “Your Deletion of UGC,” “Disclosure and Removal of UGC,” “Analytics Data,” “Termination,” “Reserved Rights,” “Feedback,” “Disclaimers,” “Indemnification,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Links to Third Party Websites,” “Dispute Resolution” and “General.”

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITH CLASS ACTION WAIVER

17.1 Arbitration Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law.

17.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Smartcare agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of, the Services or Content, including the validity and scope of the Terms and this Dispute Resolution provision (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration, except that both you and Smartcare retain the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of your or Smartcare’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the type of action described in foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you and Smartcare waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and Smartcareare each waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Smartcare otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms and/or a determination that one or more other sections of these Terms are unenforceable, pursuant to Section 18.3 below.

17.3 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate if you send a signed, written opt-out notice within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of these Terms. You must send the opt-out notice to: Smartcare, Attn: Legal, 4175 Cameron Street, Suite A2, Las Vegas, NV 89103.

17.4 Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

17.5 Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a Consumer Demand for Arbitration Form at https://www.adr.org/Forms.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by you and Smartcare from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If you and Smartcare are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

17.6 Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Smartcare otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. A party’s right to a hearing is determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties.

17.7 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. To the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section, above, as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. To the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of a party, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim or defense. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA Rules. Smartcare will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law and the AAA Rules to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

17.8 Fees. If you make a claim for damages that does not exceed $75,000, Smartcare will pay all AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you make a claim for damages that exceeds $75,000, your responsibility to pay all such fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

17.9 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Changes to Terms or Services”), if Smartcare changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to hello@Smartcare.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in case of a material change, the date of Smartcare’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Smartcare in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
General

18.1 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Smartcare’s prior written consent, and any attempt by you to do so, without such consent, will be void. Smartcare may freely assign these Terms without restriction, and thereafter be relieved of all liability hereunder.

18.2 Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Smartcare under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email to the email address you provide us via the Services, for a material change; or (ii) by posting a bulletin notice through the Services, for a non-material change. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

18.3 Subcontractors. Smartcare may subcontract any of the Services to a third party at its sole discretion. Payments made through the Site or the App may be processed by Smartcare’s third-party payment processor, Vanco Payment Solutions, LLC (“Vanco”). Please visit Vanco’s website (https://www.vancopayments.com/) to familiarize yourself with its terms and conditions and its privacy policy.

18.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the other provisions will remain in full force and effect.

18.5 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Smartcare regarding the subject matter, and supersede all proposals, understandings or communications between you and Smartcare, oral or written, regarding the subject matter, unless you and Smartcare have both signed a separate written agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any terms between you and a third party to which you have agreed that govern any Services shall apply with respect to such Services.

18.6 Governing Law; Venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement that are not subject to the Arbitration Agreement in Section 17 shall be instituted exclusively in the state courts or federal courts of Delaware, in each case located in Wilmington (state) and New Castle County (federal). Each party waives any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over such party by such courts and to venue in such courts.

18.7 No Waiver. Smartcare’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Smartcare.

18.8 Remedies. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either you or Smartcare of any remedy under these Terms will be without prejudice to any other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
