Koaaly Terms of Service
Last Updated: April 16, 2025
1. Description of Service
Koaaly provides a hybrid hardware and software service designed to enhance children's playtime through screen-free, interactive audio experiences. The Service includes:
- The Koaaly hardware device ("Device"): An attachable speaker/microphone unit.
- The Koaaly mobile application ("App"): Used by parents or legal guardians for setup, control, content management, and monitoring.
- AI-Powered Features: Including interactive bots, personalized storytelling, chat functions, and educational content modules, delivered primarily through the Device via the App.
- Associated Content: Including the Activity Book, website content, and other materials provided as part of the Service.
The Service relies on AI technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs) and Text-to-Speech (TTS), to generate responses and content. While we strive for accuracy, safety, and appropriateness, AI-generated content may occasionally contain inaccuracies or unexpected outputs.
2. Eligibility and Account Registration
The Service is intended for use by children, primarily aged 8-13, under the direct supervision and control of their parent or legal guardian ("Parent"). Parents are responsible for setting up and managing the user account ("Account") required to access the App and control the Device. THE PARENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING THE CHILD'S USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL INTERACTIONS WITH AI FEATURES AND CONTENT, AND FOR DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE SERVICE FOR THEIR SPECIFIC CHILD.
By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction.
- You are the parent or legal guardian of any child user profile created under your Account and have the legal authority to consent to these Terms and our Privacy Policy on their behalf.
- All registration information you submit is truthful and accurate, and you will maintain the accuracy of such information.
- Your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security.
3. Children's Privacy and COPPA Compliance
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our data collection and use practices are governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. Please review it carefully.
The Koaaly App is designed for Parents to manage the Service. We require verifiable parental consent, obtained through the App registration process, before collecting any personal information from children under 13, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable privacy laws. Parents control the child profiles, content access, and data settings via the App.
4. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to:
- Download, install, and use the App on mobile devices that you own or control solely for your personal, non-commercial use in managing the Koaaly Service.
- Use the software embedded within the Device solely in connection with the authorized use of the Device.
You may not: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works based on the App or Device software; (b) distribute, transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, or rent the App or Device software to any third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or Device software; or (d) make the functionality of the App or Service available to multiple users through any means.
5. Koaaly Device: Purchase, Warranty, and Safety
- Purchase: Purchases of the Koaaly Device may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented at the time of sale.
- Limited Warranty: The Koaaly Device comes with a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. This warranty is subject to specific conditions and exclusions, which will be detailed in the warranty documentation provided with the Device or available on our website. Your sole remedy under this warranty is, at our option, repair or replacement of the defective Device. This limited warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, improper storage, or modifications.
- Safety Warnings: The Koaaly Device is intended for use by children under parental supervision. It contains small parts and electronic components. Ensure the Device is securely attached to toys and used appropriately. Do not expose the Device to water or extreme temperatures. Follow all safety instructions provided with the Device. We are not liable for damages or injuries resulting from improper use or failure to follow safety guidelines.
6. Subscriptions, Fees, Payments, and Credits
- Subscription Plans: Access to certain features and content levels requires an active paid subscription ("Subscription"). Details of available Subscription plans (e.g., Koaaly Plus, Koaaly Premium), their features, fees, and billing cycles are described within the App or on our website.
- Billing and Payment: By selecting a Subscription plan, you agree to pay the applicable fees. Fees are typically billed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annually) in advance. Payments will be processed through the App Store (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play Store) or our designated third-party payment processor. You authorize us (or our processor) to charge your chosen payment method.
- Automatic Renewal: Unless you cancel your Subscription before the end of the current billing period, your Subscription will automatically renew, and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable Subscription fee using the payment method we have on file for you.
- Cancellation: You can cancel your Subscription at any time through your App Store account settings or as otherwise described in the App/website. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds or credits will be provided for partial subscription periods.
- Fee Changes: We reserve the right to change Subscription fees at any time. We will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any fee changes. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change constitutes your agreement to pay the modified fee.
- Credits: Certain AI-driven interactions (like dynamic chat or story generation) may consume "Credits." Your Subscription plan includes a specific number of monthly Credits. Unused monthly Credits do not roll over. Additional Credit packs may be available for purchase by subscribers, subject to terms presented at the time of purchase. Credits have no cash value and are forfeited if your Subscription lapses or your Account is terminated. We reserve the right to adjust Credit consumption rates for different features with reasonable notice.
- Free Trials: We may offer free trial periods for Subscriptions. Specific terms of the free trial will be provided at signup. Unless you cancel before the end of the trial, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fee.
