Last Updated: August 8, 2023

Welcome! Kinjo is a platform that brings kids and parents together to unleash the learning power of the world’s most engaging digital experiences.  We’re happy you’re here.

These terms set forth our legal obligations to each other. They apply to your use of our services. PLEASE READ: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AS IT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) are a legal contract between you and Kinjo, Inc. (“Kinjo,” “Kinjo Learning”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the access to and use of any of Kinjo’s Services (the “Services”), which include the websites (kinjo.com, 2021parenting.com), software, mobile application, product information, training programs, documentation, messages generated by the software, and any other content. As part of these Terms, you agree to comply with the most recent version of our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. 

By accessing or using the Services, you hereby certify that you are accessing or using the Services for an Authorized Purpose (defined below) only. You further certify that you are at least 18 years of age and competent to agree to these Terms, and that you reside in the United States or any of its territories or possessions. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, INDEMNITY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, AND ARBITRATION PROVISIONS BELOW AND THE PRIVACY POLICY AND ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES AND PLEASE EXIT THE SERVICES NOW. 

IF YOU ARE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND YOU PROVIDE YOUR CONSENT TO YOUR CHILD’S USE OF THE SERVICES AS AN AUTHORIZED USER, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE IN RESPECT TO THEIR USE OF THE SERVICES. 

These Terms including the Privacy Policy may be changed from time to time. Please check these Terms and the Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed of any changes to the Terms. By continuing to access or use the Services following a change in Terms, you thereby agree to be bound by those terms. If you do not agree with a change in the Terms, please discontinue your access to or use of the Services.

I.     Authorized Use

We authorize you to access and use the Services and the Materials (defined below) only for personal, educational, and non-commercial use, provided that you comply with these Terms and the Privacy Policy (“Authorized Purpose.”) For privacy and legal reasons, you may not access or use the Services while located outside of the United States or any of its territories or possessions. We may revoke your right to access and use the Services or the Materials at any time and for any reason within our sole discretion including your failure to abide by these Terms.

You are authorized to access and/or use the Services only through the application interface provided by us. You may log-in to the Services by creating an account with Kinjo or through certain third-party social networking or integrated services, such as Facebook Connect, Apple, and Google (“Integrated Service”). By registering for the Services using an Integrated Service, you agree that Kinjo may access your Integrated Service account’s information, and may store and use certain information already associated with the Integrated Service account consistent with our Privacy Policy, and you agree to any and all terms and conditions of the Integrated Service regarding your use of the Services via this connection. You may revoke our access to your Integrated Service account at any time by updating the appropriate settings in the account preferences of your Integrated Service account.

Your log-in credentials and user account details may not be shared with or used by anyone other than you to access and/or use the Services. It is your responsibility to safeguard your login and password credentials and immediately notify us of any unauthorized use or breach of security. You are solely responsible for any authorized or unauthorized access to your account by any person.

We have no liability or responsibility for any use of your user account caused by unauthorized access to or fraudulent attacks on the Services or Kinjo generally.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, KINJO, AND ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “KINJO PARTIES”), EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSES AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SOLE AND MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF THE KINJO PARTIES FOR ANY REASON, AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY CAUSE OR CLAIM WHATSOEVER, SHALL BE LIMITED TO (AT KINJO’S OPTION) A PRO-RATA REFUND OF THE PRE-PAID FEES FOR YOUR ACCOUNT COVERING THE REMAINDER OF THE TERM OR TWENTY DOLLARS ($20) IN THE AGGREGATE.

XIII.     Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or related to the Services, the Materials, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of the Services (collectively “Disputes”) will be resolved solely through final and binding individual arbitration by a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Arbitration section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity. Any such arbitration proceeding brought under this provision shall take place in Austin, Texas unless mutually agreed by the parties. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrator’s and administrative fees of arbitration. Judgment on an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or violation of any intellectual property. Such proceedings shall be brought in the federal or state courts in Austin, Texas.

This provision shall not apply to users in countries that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the user’s country.

XIV.     Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. The United States Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause above.

XV.     Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in its performance under these Terms due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including acts of war, acts of God, terrorism, earthquake, flood, embargo, riot, sabotage, pandemic, labor shortage or dispute, governmental act, or failure of the Internet (not resulting from the actions or omissions of Company), provided that the delayed party: (i) gives the other party prompt notice of such cause, and (ii) uses its reasonable commercial efforts to promptly correct such failure or delay in performance. 

XVI.     Notices

All notices under the Terms will be by email. Notices to Kinjo should be sent to: [email protected]. A notice will be deemed to have been duly given the day after it is sent. You agree that all notices we provide to you via email satisfy any legal requirement that such notices be in writing or be delivered in a particular manner. 

XVII.     Assignment

You may not assign any of your rights or delegate your obligations under these Terms, including the Privacy Policy, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior consent of Kinjo. Kinjo may assign these Terms in their entirety (including all terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference), without your consent, to a corporate affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the company’s assets.

XVIII.     Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire and only terms and conditions between Kinjo and each user of the Services or the Materials relating to the access and/or use of the Services and the Materials. If any provision of these Terms be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions will not be affected. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under the Terms, including the Privacy Policy, will constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver under the Terms will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party being deemed to have granted the waiver. Other than the Kinjo Parties, no other person or company will be a third-party beneficiary to these Terms.

If you have any comments or questions regarding these Terms, or wish to report any violation of these Terms or applicable law, you may reach us at [email protected].
