Draft. These terms are being reviewed before PeekaSpeak launches and may change.
These terms are an agreement between you and [Company legal name] ("we", "us") for PeekaSpeak ("the app"). By creating an account or starting a subscription, you agree to them.
1. Who can use the app
- You must be an adult (18 or older, or the age of majority where you live) to create an account, buy a subscription, or change settings.
- Children may use the app only with the permission and supervision of a parent or guardian who holds the account. You are responsible for how children in your family use it.
- Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we protect it. It is part of these terms.
2. What the app is, and what it is not
The app offers play-based activities to support early speech, language and learning milestones. It is not a medical device, a diagnosis, or a substitute for a speech-language pathologist, doctor or other professional. Comparisons with "most kids this age" are general guides drawn from public milestone sources, not an assessment of your child. If you have concerns about your child's development, talk to your pediatrician or a licensed speech-language pathologist.
3. Your account
- Keep your sign-in details private. You are responsible for activity on your account.
- One family account covers the children you add, on the devices you link to it.
- You can delete your account at any time in the parent area or at peekaspeak.com/delete-account. Deleting the account does not cancel a subscription bought through Apple or Google (see section 4).
4. Subscriptions and free trial
- Plans. The app offers a single-child plan at $9.99 per month or $49.99 per year (US prices), and may offer a family plan. The price is always shown in the app before you buy and includes any taxes the store charges.
- Free trial. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription starts and you are charged.
- Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and period until you cancel. Your store account is charged within 24 hours before each period ends.
- Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings (App Store) or Google Play subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We cannot issue refunds for store purchases directly.
- Plan coverage. A single-child plan covers one child profile. A family plan, when offered, covers up to 4 children in one family account.
- Price changes. We will tell you about price changes in advance, as the store requires, and you can cancel before they take effect.
5. Acceptable use
Please do not copy, resell, reverse engineer or misuse the app, try to reach other families' data, or interfere with the service. We may suspend accounts that do.
6. Content and ownership
- The app, its characters, games, artwork, voices and words are owned by us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use them for your family while your subscription or trial is active.
- Photos, recordings and family details you add stay yours and stay on your device. Progress data you create is yours too; you can ask us for a copy or delete it at any time.
7. Sharing features
If you share a milestone card or a family link, you choose who receives it and you are responsible for sharing it only with people you trust. You can turn off a family link at any time.
8. Changes to the app and these terms
We may update the app and these terms. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect and, where the law or app stores require it, ask for your consent again. If you do not agree, you can stop using the app and cancel your subscription.
9. Disclaimers and limits of liability
The app is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we do not promise that it will be error-free or achieve any particular developmental result, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
10. Apple-specific terms
If you got the app from the Apple App Store: these terms are between you and us, not Apple; Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance; if the app fails to meet a warranty, you may notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price (if any) and Apple has no other warranty obligation; Apple is not responsible for claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or intellectual property claims; you confirm you are not in a U.S.-embargoed country or on a U.S. government restricted-party list; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
11. Disputes
If you have a problem with the app, please email us first at support@peekaspeak.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. If we cannot, either of us may bring the claim in small-claims court or in the courts of [State], and these terms are governed by the laws of [State].
