You acknowledge and agree that KidApply will treat your use of the Service as acceptance of these Terms from the time you first use the Service.
KidApply reserves the right to change any of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms, including the Service and/or any policies or guidelines governing the Service, at any time and in its sole discretion. While we will endeavor to provide direct notice to you of any changes, you are responsible for periodically checking the Site to determine if any changes have been made and we are not liable for your failure to do so or our failure to provide such direct notice to you. Your continued use of the Service following any revision to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of the changes or modifications to these Terms. If you do not agree to any changes to these Terms, do not continue to use the Service.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of the information you hold for your Account, including, without limitation, your user name and password, and for any and all activity that occurs through your Account as a result of your failure to keep this information secure and confidential. You hereby agree to notify KidApply immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account, user name or password, or any other breach of security in connection therewith. You may be held liable for losses incurred by KidApply or any third party due to someone else using your Account, user name or password as a result of your failing to keep your Account information secure and confidential. You are strictly prohibited from using anyone else's Account, user name or password at any time and for any reason. KidApply is not liable to you or any third party for your failure to comply with your obligations under this paragraph.
The Service is made available by KidApply to the following user categories (collectively, "Users"): (i) individual child care providers (each, a "Provider") for use in connection with accepting and managing child care applications ("Applications"); and (ii) individual parents and/or legal guardians (each, a "Parent or Guardian") for use in finding Providers and submitting and managing Applications.
In order to use the Service you will be required to provide certain personally identifiable information to KidApply (e.g., your first and last name, the name of applicable children, your telephone number, your e-mail and physical address, other information required by applicable Providers, and, if applicable, your credit card information).

Within thirty (30) days following receipt of fees from Parents or Guardians, KidApply will pay the applicable Provider the fees set forth in the Order provided to such Provider on behalf of such Parent or Guardian.
To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, any refunds of fees are at the sole discretion of KidApply, and refunds will only be provided in the form of a credit against future fees for the Service.

The failure of KidApply to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any part of these Terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to maintain the intent of these Terms, and the other parts will remain in full force and effect.
Any notice or other communications by KidApply relating to the Service may be made by letter, e-mail or posting on the Site, and you hereby consent to receive notices and other communications in electronic form to the extent permitted by applicable law.
