By using our App, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully and make sure that you understand them. You should print a copy of these Terms for future reference.
Where additional terms or policies apply, we will update these Terms to include them. If there are any conflicts between additional terms or policies and these Terms, then these Terms will take precedence.

The App is intended for use by parents to assist children to Relax, Sleep & Play. By creating an account and purchasing a subscription to the App (‘Subscription’) you confirm that you are over the age of majority in your province or territory of residence. We reserve the right to cancel any Subscription that has not been purchased by the bank account holder. If you believe we may have personal information about a child that was not provided with parental consent, please contact us at info@moshikids.com.
5. Do I need to have an account to use the App?
You need to have an account to use the App, but you can still use the app for free with limited access to content. Once you have created an account you can purchase a Subscription if you wish. A Subscription means you can access all content within your App on an ongoing basis. With both free accounts and paid Subscriptions you can log in to, and share, your account across three different electronic devices, for example, your phone, tablet or computer (educators).
6. How do I create an account and buy a Subscription?

You will be considered to have agreed to the new price if you keep using the App after the price change. If you are unhappy with the price change you should cancel your Subscription before the change takes effect.

23. What are Mind Candy’s responsibilities and liability when you provide the App?
We provide the App using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care and we hope that you will enjoy using it. But there are certain things that we do not promise about the App.
We provide our Services “as is”. Other than as expressly set out in these Terms, neither Mind Candy, our subsidiaries nor affiliates makes any specific promises about the App. For example, we do not make any commitments about the content within the App, the specific functions of the App or its accuracy, reliability, availability or ability to meet your needs. We do not guarantee that our Services will be uninterrupted or that they will always be available. We cannot guarantee that our Services will be free from bugs or viruses, or never be faulty.
When permitted by law, we have no responsibility to pay you compensation for financial loss, indirect loss, any information which is lost or corrupted, or any loss that could not have been reasonably expected. We will not be liable to you for any losses that you may suffer if you have used the App for business purposes.
We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or any other liability that English law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
To the extent permitted by law, you acknowledge that your only remedy with respect to any problems or dissatisfaction with the App or its content is to stop using the App or such content and uninstall the App.
Some jurisdictions provide for certain warranties, like the implied warranty of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Please note, however, that we are providing the App under English law. Mind Candy Limited and its affiliates, licensors and licensees disclaim any and all warranties and conditions (express or implied) to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If you are using the App for a personal purpose then nothing in these Terms limits any consumers’ legal rights which may not be waived by contract.
24. What are my responsibilities for damage if I misuse the App?
You will ‘hold harmless’ and repay Mind Candy in relation to any claims, losses, costs and liabilities arising from any legitimate claims a third party may make because of your use or misuse of the App.
25. I have a great idea and I want to share it with Mind Candy, what are my rights?
If you send any ideas or suggestions to us, you will not be paid or rewarded for them and we can use them in any way we wish.
If you submit any ideas, suggestions, proposals, or documents to Mind Candy (together, “Contributions”), you agree that: (i) your Contributions do not contain confidential or proprietary information; (ii) Mind Candy is not under any obligation of confidentiality regarding those Contributions; (iii) Mind Candy may have something similar to the Contributions already in development or under consideration; (iv) Mind Candy may use or disclose (or not) such Contributions for any purpose in any way; (v) your Contributions automatically become the property of Mind Candy without any obligation of Mind Candy to you; and (vi) unless otherwise specifically agreed with us in writing, you are not entitled to any payment, compensation or reimbursement of any kind from Mind Candy under any circumstances.
26. How do I complain and how do we contact each other?
If you have a problem or complaint about the App, or just want to give us feedback, you can email us at support@moshikids.com.
You accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. When we have important things to tell you about the App we will use the contact information you provided (e.g. email address) or post them within the App. You agree to this electronic means of communication. You may not opt-out from receiving these communications (unless you cancel your account and Subscription and stop using the App).
27. What else do I need to know?
These Terms make up the entire agreement between us relating to the App and any Subscription you may take and override any prior agreements. You acknowledge that you have entered into these Terms without relying upon any promises or statements other than those set out in these Terms.
These Terms are between us and you and are not intended to be for the benefit of, and will not be enforceable by, any third party under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.
You accept that these Terms are personal to you and agree not to transfer them to anyone else, or to try to do so. We can transfer this agreement to another company provided this does not adversely affect your rights under the Terms.
We will protect the privacy of your account even after you die or are incapacitated. We will not provide your account information or your content to anyone, even next of kin, unless we are legally required to do so.
Sometimes we may not be able to provide you with the App because of something beyond our reasonable control, which may include: lightning, flood, severe weather, fire, explosion, terrorist activities, anything done by government or other competent authority, or industrial disputes. There may be other reasons too. In these cases, we cannot be liable for delays or being unable to provide you with our Services.
After these Terms come to an end, any provisions of these Terms that either explicitly or by their nature must remain in effect after termination will survive termination of the Terms.
If any portion of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms and our relationship will be governed by the laws of England and Wales and we both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
