Effective Date: 9 March, 2022

The OurFamilyWizard website (“Site”) and mobile application (“App”) (together, “Platforms”) are operated by Avirat, Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 9469079 whose registered office is at c/o Redfern Legal LLP, 7 Henrietta Street, London WC2E 8PS. Our VAT number is 216 3016 50.

This agreement (“Agreement”) is between us and you (“you” or “your”), and governs your use of the Site (whether as a registered user or a guest) and the App including, without limitation, browsing, accessing and/or otherwise using any information, data, content, design, text, graphics and interfaces on the Platforms (excluding any information or data provided by you) (“Content”) or any services provided through the Platforms (including standard subscription services and premium features) (a “Subscription”), registering to use and purchasing a Subscription and downloading and installing the App. 

Any rules or policies applied by any app store provider or operator (“App Store”) from whom you downloaded the App (“App Store Rules”) are incorporated into this Agreement by reference but in the event of conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement is between you and OurFamilyWizard only. OurFamilyWizard is solely responsible for the Platforms. Apple, Inc. and Alphabet, Inc. and Amazon.com Services, LLC are not a party to this Agreement; however, Apple, Inc., Alphabet, Inc., and Amazon.com Services, LLC and their subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement as it pertains to the App. As such, once you accept this Agreement, Apple, Inc.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR REGISTRATION AND/OR USING THE PLATFORMS AND/OR DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE APP. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE THE PLATFORMS.

By accessing or using the Platforms, or by downloading and/or installing the App, you agree to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

We may revise this Agreement at any time by amending this page. Please check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we have made as they are binding on you.

A.   Access

We do not guarantee that the Platforms or the Content will always be available or be uninterrupted. We will not be liable to you if for any reason any of them is unavailable at any time or for any period.  For registered users, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly remedy any faults with the Platforms of which we become aware. For guest users, access to the Platforms is only permitted on a temporary basis.  For all users, we may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of the Platforms without notice.

We may update the Platforms from time to time and may change the Content at any time. However, please note that any of the Content may be out of date at any given time and we are under no obligation to update it. We do not guarantee that the Platforms or the Content will be free from errors or omissions. 

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Platforms including (without limitation) configuring your information technology and software in order to do so. Any compatibility requirements for the Site will be detailed on the Site. The App may be downloaded or streamed to your mobile telephone or handheld device (“Device”) and any compatibility requirements will be detailed on the relevant App Store page.  If we update the Platforms, you may need to update your information technology and software in order to continue using them.

The App may be downloaded free of charge from an App Store, however, please note that the use of the App and the Platforms on any Device will be subject to any rates and fees charged by your wireless communications services provider.

All information you provide to us through the Platforms must be current, accurate and complete. If we at any time discover any error or omission in the information you provide to us, we may, at our option, terminate your right to access and use the Platforms. 

B.   No Reliance

The Platforms are not a substitute for the professional advice of a solicitor, mediator or other legal professional. We do not give legal advice, nor do we provide legal services, and in each case the Content and Platforms should not be treated as such.  You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the Content. You acknowledge that your reliance upon the Platforms and any Content is solely at your own risk.

C.   Security

A password or another form of authentication (“Authentication Method”) is required to access and use the Platforms. You are solely responsible for: (1) maintaining the strict confidentiality of the Authentication Method assigned to or created by you; (2) instructing any person to whom you disclose your Authentication Method not to disclose it to another person or allow another person to use it to access any part of the Platforms without your express permission; (3) any access to or use of the Platforms through your Authentication Method; and (4) any charges, damages or losses that may be incurred or suffered as a result of your failure, or the failure of any person using your Authentication Method, to maintain the strict confidentiality of the Authentication Method.

You must promptly inform us in writing of any unauthorised use of your Authentication Method or of any need to deactivate an Authentication Method due to security concerns.  You are liable for any unauthorised use of the Platforms until you do so.

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the authorisation, disclosure or theft of your Authentication Method. We have the right to disable your Authentication Method and/or your account at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement.

D.   Permitted Account Users

A Parent Account gives you access to and use of our standard Subscription but also allows you to give others limited access to the Platforms, namely the ability to view some or all of the information or data in your account and/or the ability to correspond with others who are linked to your account. 

Permitted account users include the child or children whose life and information you wish to manage and other family members such as grandparents or childcare providers.

Permitted account users are required to accept the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement when registering to use the Services, save that Sections I and J will not apply to them.  Any parent subscriber accepts them on behalf of their child or children.

Parent subscribers are also responsible, however, for the failure of their permitted account users (particularly any child to whom access is permitted) to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 

A Parent Account also lets you link your account to that of your legal representative and/or a mediator assisting with your relationship breakdown or child’s or children’s residence and contact arrangements.  Your legal representative will need to accept similar terms and conditions applicable to professional users.

E.   Ownership, Licence and Use of Intellectual Property

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights (including, without limitation, all copyright and trade marks) in the Platforms and the Content.  Those works are protected by laws and treaties around the world.  All such rights are strictly reserved.

No other rights or licences, whether express, implied or otherwise, are granted or intended by this Agreement. ANY UNAUTHORISED OR UNAPPROVED USE OF THE PLATFORMS OR THE CONTENT MAY CONSTITUTE INFRINGEMENT OF OUR, OR OUR LICENSEE’S, RIGHTS, FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE LIABLE FOR CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

In the event of any third party claim that the Platforms infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights, OurFamilyWizard, not Apple, Inc. nor Alphabet, Inc. or Amazon.com Services, LLC, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
