Terms of Service

Last Updated: 19 September, 2026

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the Kidaro website, applications and related online services operated by AdaptaIQ Inc. ("AdaptaIQ", "Kidaro", "we", "us" or "our"), including any content, materials and functionality made available through them (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data in connection with the Service. Please read it carefully together with these Terms.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by:

AdaptaIQ Inc., 98 Cuttermill Road, Ste 466, Great Neck, NY 11021, USA

Kidaro is a product and brand of AdaptaIQ.

For purposes of data protection law, AdaptaIQ is the controller of personal data processed through the Service, as described in the Kidaro Privacy Policy.

You can contact us regarding the Service or these Terms at:

Email: privacy@adaptaiq.com

Postal address: as above.

If the Privacy Policy identifies a dedicated data protection contact or representative, you may also use those contact details for data protection matters.

2. Scope of these Terms

These Terms apply to:

The Kidaro website and any associated pages or domains under the Kidaro brand.
Any Kidaro web or mobile applications we make available.
Any parent or guardian account you create with Kidaro.
Any reports, summaries, explanations, guidance or other materials provided through the Service, including the Learning Profile Summary.

If you or your organization enter into a separate written agreement with AdaptaIQ that expressly governs your use of Kidaro, that agreement will apply to the extent it conflicts with these Terms. In all other respects, these Terms apply.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy applies to the collection and use of personal data within the Service. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and the Privacy Policy on data protection matters, the Privacy Policy prevails.

3. Who may use Kidaro

The Service is intended for adults who are parents or legal guardians of children.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority in your place of residence, to create a Kidaro account or accept these Terms.
Children do not create their own accounts and do not accept these Terms. Any use of the Service in relation to a child must be initiated and managed by the child's parent or legal guardian.
By providing information about a child, you confirm that you are the child's parent or legal guardian.

You are responsible for:

Keeping your login credentials confidential.
All activity that takes place under your account.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy explains how we handle information about parents, guardians and children, including age-related limitations, legal bases for processing and parental rights.

4. What Kidaro does and does not do

4.1 Description of the Service

Kidaro is designed to help parents and caregivers understand how a child, typically between ages 7 and 10, approaches learning, attention, motivation, emotional regulation and related skills. The Service may include:

Interactive interviews and questionnaires for parents and, in some cases, for children.
Voice-enabled chat or other voice features, where available, that allow a child to provide spoken responses or instructions for processing by the Service.
A Learning Profile Summary or similar report presenting patterns in the child's learning profile.
Practical guidance, suggestions and educational content tailored to that profile.
Follow up check ins, growth or change tracking and curated content or recommendations, as these features are introduced.
Text adaptation and transformation features that allow users to upload or submit text and generate modified versions based on selected preferences or a child's learning profile, such as adjustments to vocabulary, sentence structure, complexity, length, presentation or readability.

Text adaptation features are intended to modify the presentation or accessibility of user-provided content. Kidaro does not verify the ownership, copyright status, accuracy or lawfulness of content submitted by users.

The precise features available to you may depend on the plan or product you choose and may evolve over time. The Privacy Policy describes the categories of data we collect and the purposes for which we use them in connection with these features. We may update, modify, replace, or discontinue AI models, prompts, scoring methodologies, or other components of the Service as part of ongoing development and improvement.

The Learning Profile reflects information available at a particular point in time and should be understood as a snapshot rather than a permanent description of a child.

Children's learning patterns, interests, abilities, and developmental needs may change over time. Parents are encouraged to revisit and update information periodically.

4.2 No medical, psychological or educational diagnosis

The Service provides educational and developmental insights intended to help parents better understand learning-related patterns and preferences.

The Service does not provide:

clinical, psychological, psychometric, or educational assessments;
diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or professional evaluations;
results equivalent to school assessments, psychological testing, screening tools, or other regulated assessment methodologies.

Kidaro is not a clinical, psychological, psychometric, or educational assessment tool.

The methodology used by Kidaro is not designed or validated for diagnostic purposes and should not be interpreted as equivalent to psychological testing, school assessments, screening tools, or professional evaluations.

Nothing on the Service should be treated as a substitute for advice from a doctor, psychologist, school counselor, teacher or other appropriately qualified professional who knows your child.

If you are concerned about your child's health, development, safety or learning, you should seek help from qualified professionals and emergency services where appropriate.

4.3 No guarantee of outcomes

Children differ and many factors influence learning and development. We do not promise or guarantee that any particular academic, behavioral, emotional or other outcome will result from using the Service.

5. Accounts and communications

You may create an account, purchase access to reports or features, or request updates about Kidaro.

You agree that:

All information you provide to us will be accurate and, where it changes, kept reasonably up to date.
We may send you transactional communications relating to your account and use of the Service, such as confirmations, reminders, technical notices and information about changes to the Service or these Terms. These are necessary to perform the contract for the Service and to protect our legitimate interests.
With your consent, where required by law, we may send you newsletters, product updates and marketing communications. You can withdraw consent or opt out of marketing at any time using the unsubscribe link in the messages or by contacting us as described in the Privacy Policy. This does not affect essential transactional messages.

During early access or beta periods, features may be limited, experimental or subject to change, as described in any offer or enrollment information. Where we process your personal data in connection with such programs, the purposes and legal bases are described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Subscriptions, trials, payments and refunds

6.1 Plans and billing

We may offer Kidaro through:

Paid subscriptions.
One time purchases or packages.
Free or discounted trials, introductory offers or promotional access.

At the time you sign up, we will clearly state:

The price and currency.
The billing period and renewal terms (if any).
What is included in the plan or product.

By starting a paid plan, you authorize us and our third party payment processors to charge your chosen payment method for the applicable fees and any taxes. The Privacy Policy explains how we process payment-related personal data and which processors we use.

6.2 Automatic renewal and cancellation

If a plan renews automatically:

It will renew at the end of each billing period at the then current price, unless you cancel renewal before the renewal date, as described in your account settings or in the purchase flow.
You can cancel renewal at any time. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically entitle you to a refund for amounts already paid, except where required by law or by any specific refund policy we present at the time of purchase.

6.3 Free trials and promotional offers

If you sign up for a free trial or promotional offer:

The specific terms of the offer, including duration and what happens at the end of the period, will be clearly explained at sign up.
Where the offer converts to a paid plan at the end of the trial or promotional period, your standard billing terms will apply unless you cancel before conversion.

6.4 Consumer rights and withdrawals

Any statutory rights you have under applicable consumer law, such as cooling-off periods, rights of withdrawal or mandatory refund rights, are not limited by these Terms. The Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data when you exercise such rights.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Service. In particular, you must not:

Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
Attempt to interfere with the security, integrity or availability of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
Access the Service by automated means such as scraping or crawling, except as permitted by applicable law or by our prior written consent.
Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
Infringe or violate the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any person.
Upload, submit, reproduce, adapt, transform or otherwise use any content through the Service unless you own or have all rights, licenses, permissions, consents or other lawful authority necessary to do so.
Upload, transmit or otherwise make available content that is unlawful, harmful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, exploitative of children or otherwise objectionable.
Probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service, or circumvent any security or authentication measures.
Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise derive the source code, models or algorithms underlying the Service, except where permitted by mandatory law.

We may investigate suspected violations and, where appropriate, suspend or terminate access, remove or restrict content and, where required, cooperate with law enforcement or regulators. Any related processing of personal data is carried out as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Intellectual property and license

The Service and its content, including the Kidaro and AdaptaIQ names and logos, text, graphics, illustrations, user interface, educational content, reports, software and underlying technology, excluding User Content and rights in User Content incorporated into outputs generated from it, are owned by AdaptaIQ or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, revocable, non exclusive and non transferable license to:

Access and use the Service for your own family's internal, non commercial purposes.
Download or print your Kidaro reports and related materials for personal use and for sharing with people directly involved in your child's care, such as teachers or school staff.

Except where permitted by mandatory law, you may not:

Copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, publish, distribute, publicly display or publicly perform the Service or its content, except as expressly allowed above.
Sell, resell, license, rent or otherwise commercially exploit the Service or any Kidaro-owned content, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by us in writing.
Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices on the Service.

Use of the Service does not transfer any ownership rights in our intellectual property.

As between you and AdaptaIQ, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you retain any rights you hold in User Content submitted to the Service. AdaptaIQ does not claim ownership of User Content merely because it is submitted to or processed through the Service. Subject to these Terms and any rights applicable to the underlying User Content or other materials, you may use, copy, download, print and share outputs generated specifically for you through the Service.

Your use of the Service and generation of an output does not grant or transfer to you any intellectual property rights in the underlying User Content or other materials that you did not already own or have the right to use. You are responsible for ensuring that your use, sharing or distribution of any output complies with applicable law and does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Outputs may not be unique, and the Service may generate the same or similar outputs for other users. AdaptaIQ does not guarantee that any output will qualify for copyright or other intellectual property protection.

Nothing in this Section grants you any rights in AdaptaIQ's models, prompts, algorithms, software, methodologies, templates or other technology used to generate or provide an output.

9. Your content, child information and feedback

9.1 Your content

When you use Kidaro, you may provide or upload information, text, documents, files, materials, notes, comments, preferences and other content ("User Content"), including:

Information about yourself, your child and your family context, including responses to questions and interactive interviews.
Voice recordings, audio input and resulting transcripts where you or your child use a voice-enabled feature.
Text, documents, files or other materials that you ask Kidaro to analyze, adapt, transform, simplify or otherwise process.
Additional content such as notes, comments or preferences.

You retain ownership of any rights you hold in the User Content you provide.

You grant AdaptaIQ a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, analyze, modify, adapt and transform User Content solely as necessary to provide, operate, secure and maintain the Service, including to generate the outputs requested by you.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, permissions, consents or other lawful authority necessary to upload, submit and process User Content through the Service, including to permit AdaptaIQ to host, reproduce, analyze, modify, adapt and transform the User Content as necessary to provide the Service.

You remain responsible for the User Content you submit and for ensuring that your submission and use of that User Content through the Service does not infringe or violate the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any third party or any applicable law.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect as part of User Content, how we use it, the legal bases for that processing, the retention periods and with whom we may share it.

9.2 Child information

By providing information about a child through the Service, you confirm that:

You are the child's parent or legal guardian.
You will use the Service and any Kidaro reports in the child's best interests.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy sets out how we protect children's personal data, how we rely on parental consent or other legal bases, and what rights parents and guardians have in respect of that data.

AdaptaIQ does not claim ownership of identifiable child profile information.

The rights available to parents and guardians regarding access, portability, correction, and deletion of child-related data are described in the Privacy Policy.

9.3 Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions or other feedback about Kidaro, you agree that we may use that feedback without restriction or obligation to you, including without compensation, for improving and developing the Service.

10. AI assisted features and limitations

10.1 AI-assisted features

Kidaro uses artificial intelligence and other automated systems to:

Ask and sequence questions.
Identify patterns across responses.
Generate explanations, summaries and suggestions.
Analyze, adapt and transform content based on user-selected preferences or features of a child's learning profile.
Process, transcribe and interpret voice or audio input where a voice-enabled feature is used.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy explains what personal data these systems process, the purposes for which we process that data and the safeguards we apply.

Outputs generated through Kidaro are exploratory and informational in nature. They are not clinical findings, psychological conclusions, or validated professional assessments. You agree to:

Review Kidaro's outputs critically and in context.
Use your own judgment before acting on any suggestions.
Seek professional advice for important decisions relating to your child's health, education or wellbeing.
Avoid presenting Kidaro outputs as if they are clinical diagnoses or professional opinions.

The Learning Profile is intended to support understanding and discussion. It should not be used as the sole basis for educational placement decisions, admissions decisions, disciplinary actions, eligibility determinations, or other formal decisions concerning a child.

10.2 Text Adaptation Features

Kidaro may allow you to upload or submit text, documents or other supported content and request that the Service analyze, simplify, restructure, summarize, adapt or otherwise transform that content based on preferences selected by you or features of a child's learning profile.

You may use Text Adaptation Features with content that you own, are authorized to use, or are otherwise legally permitted to use. Depending on the circumstances, applicable exceptions or limitations to copyright law, including fair use under U.S. law, may permit certain uses of copyrighted content without permission from the copyright owner.

You are responsible for the User Content you submit and for ensuring that you have the rights, licenses, permissions, consents or other lawful authority necessary to submit and process that content through the Service, as further described in Section 9.

Kidaro does not independently verify the ownership, copyright status, licensing terms or other rights applicable to User Content.

Text Adaptation outputs are generated automatically and may omit, alter, simplify, misinterpret or inaccurately represent information contained in the original content. You should review generated outputs before relying on or sharing them.

The generation of an output by Kidaro does not grant or transfer to you any intellectual property rights in the underlying User Content or other materials that you did not already own or have the right to use.

10.3 Voice-enabled features

Where voice input is available, Kidaro may allow your child to provide spoken responses or instructions through the Service. By enabling or allowing your child to use a voice-enabled feature, you confirm that you are the child's parent or legal guardian and that you have authority to permit the child's participation and the processing of the child's voice and audio for that feature.

Voice input may be recorded and processed by automated systems and service providers acting on our behalf in order to transcribe, interpret or respond to the input and provide the requested Kidaro functionality. The Privacy Policy and applicable Parent Consent explain what voice and audio data we process, the purposes of processing, applicable retention practices and the choices and rights available to parents.

Voice transcription, interpretation and AI-generated responses may be incomplete, inaccurate or may omit context. You should review relevant outputs before relying on them for important decisions concerning your child.

Any separate recording of an assessment or session for quality assurance, research or another purpose is distinct from voice input used to operate a voice-enabled feature and will be subject to any additional notice or consent required by applicable law.

11. Third party services and links

The Service may include:

Links to third party websites or services.
Content or features provided by third parties.
Integrations with communication tools or payment providers.

We do not control third party sites or services and are not responsible for their content, practices or policies. Your use of third party services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

The Kidaro Privacy Policy identifies the main categories of third party service providers we use, the purposes for which we share personal data with them and the safeguards applied, particularly where data is transferred outside your country.

Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

12. Copyright and intellectual property complaints

If you believe that User Content or other material processed or made available through the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us at privacy@adaptaiq.com with:

A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed.
A description of the allegedly infringing material and, where reasonably available, information sufficient to help us identify or locate it within the Service.
Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use or processing of the material through the Service is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent or applicable law.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.

We may investigate complaints relating to User Content or other material processed through the Service and may remove or disable access to such material, restrict its further processing, suspend relevant features or accounts, or take other appropriate action where we reasonably believe that the material infringes intellectual property rights or violates these Terms or applicable law.

We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to evaluate a complaint. Nothing in this Section requires AdaptaIQ to proactively monitor, review or verify User Content for potential intellectual property infringement, except where required by applicable law.

Any processing of personal data in connection with such requests is described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Export controls and sanctions

You represent that you are not:

Located in a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions by the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada or other relevant authorities.
A person or entity listed on a sanctions or denied parties list maintained by those authorities.

You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws in connection with your use of the Service. Where these laws affect how or where your data is processed, this is described in the Kidaro Privacy Policy.

14. Privacy

The Kidaro Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms and explains in detail:

What categories of personal data we collect through the Service.
How voice recordings, audio input and transcripts are handled when voice-enabled features are used.

Make no warranties or representations of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.
Do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error free, or that defects will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

AdaptaIQ and its affiliates, directors, employees and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or for any loss of data, use, goodwill or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service.
In any event, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of:

Your User Content, including your submission, upload, processing, adaptation or transformation of User Content through the Service, and your subsequent use, sharing or distribution of outputs generated from that User Content, where such activities infringe or violate the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any third party or applicable law.

Any processing of personal data in connection with such claims is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

18. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may update and improve the Service from time to time. We may also update these Terms.

If we make material changes to the Terms, we will post the updated version with a new effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice, for example by email or through the Service, and, where appropriate, obtain your consent.

Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective means you accept the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

You materially breach these Terms.
We are required to do so by law or by a competent authority.

You can stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including those relating to intellectual property, privacy, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification and governing law, will continue to apply.

20. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to them or to the Service are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

You agree that the state and federal courts located in New York, New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such disputes and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer resident in a country where local law provides mandatory protections or requires certain disputes to be resolved in a different forum, nothing in these Terms limits those rights or protections.

AdaptaIQ Inc. operates the Service from the United States and may use service providers and infrastructure located in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries.

Where personal data is stored and processed.
When personal data is transferred outside your country, particularly outside the EEA, the UK or Canada.
