Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

Please read carefully. These Terms are a binding contract between you and TheNextWay AI Inc. They include disclaimers, a release and assumption of risk, a limitation of liability, and a mandatory arbitration clause with a class-action waiver (Section 16) that affect your legal rights.

By creating an account, checking the acceptance box, tapping “Continue” as a guest, or otherwise accessing or using the Kidzhood mobile application, the website at kidzhood.ca, or any related service (together, the “Service”), you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who may use Kidzhood — adults only

The Service is intended solely for adults. By using it you represent and warrant that:

1. you have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction (19 in British Columbia; 18 in most other Canadian provinces and U.S. states);
2. you are the parent or legal guardian of any child on whose behalf you use the Service, or you use it only for yourself;
3. you will not permit a minor to use the Service directly; any child-related information you enter is entered by you, about your own child, with your authority to provide it; and
4. all registration information you provide is accurate and yours.

We may suspend or terminate any account we reasonably believe is operated by a minor or in breach of these representations.

3. What Kidzhood is — and is not

Kidzhood is an informational discovery directory and planning tool. We aggregate, organize, and present information about third-party events, activities, camps, and venues, and help you plan outings.

Kidzhood is not an event organizer, camp operator, childcare provider, sports league, venue owner, booking agent, or safety inspector.

We do not own, operate, control, supervise, endorse, inspect, license, or vet any listed venue, event, program, or provider, and we do not conduct background checks on any provider or its staff. A listing on Kidzhood is not a recommendation, endorsement, safety certification, or guarantee of any kind.

Listing information (dates, times, prices, age ranges, locations) comes from third-party and public sources and changes frequently. We do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, or current.

4. AI-generated content — your duty to verify

Portions of the Service — including many listing descriptions and all “Plan My Day” itineraries — are generated or assisted by artificial intelligence and are identified as such in the app. You acknowledge and agree that:

1. AI-assisted content may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or outright inaccuracies — including wrong dates, times, addresses, prices, age ranges, or venue attributes, and statements about safety-relevant matters (such as supervision, water depth, or food and allergen practices) that may be incorrect;
2. you have an absolute duty to independently verify all details that matter to you — especially dates, times, location, pricing, age suitability, registration requirements, supervision, and any health, allergy, accessibility, or safety consideration — directly with the venue or organiser before relying on them or attending; and
3. AI content and itineraries are provided for convenience only and are not advice (safety, medical, childcare, or otherwise), and Kidzhood disclaims all liability for losses arising from reliance on Service content, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

5. Third-party activities — assumption of risk and release

Attendance at or participation in any event, activity, camp, class, or venue you discover through Kidzhood is a private arrangement between you and that third party, undertaken entirely at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you — on behalf of yourself and, to the extent permitted by law, your family members, heirs, and estate — release and forever discharge TheNextWay AI Inc. and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, contractors, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, and causes of action — including for personal injury, illness, allergic reaction, property damage, or death — arising out of or connected with:

1. attendance at, participation in, travel to or from, or booking of any third-party event, venue, camp, or activity discovered through the Service;
2. the acts, omissions, negligence, or misconduct of any third-party provider, its premises, staff, or other attendees; or
3. reliance on listing content, AI-generated content, or itineraries presented in the Service.

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, and it does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own fraud or wilful misconduct.

6. Outbound links and third-party transactions

The Service links to third-party websites (venue sites, ticketing, registration, and booking pages). When you follow such a link, the app notifies you that you are leaving Kidzhood. Any purchase, registration, booking, or other transaction you complete on a third-party site is solely between you and that third party. We are not a party to it and have no responsibility for third-party pricing, availability, refunds, cancellations, service quality, data practices, or security.

7. Accounts and security

You are responsible for your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@kidzhood.ca of any suspected unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the Service, or create risk for us or other users. You may delete your account at any time in the app; deletion is processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Fees; future paid features

The parent-facing Service is currently provided free of charge, including features labelled “premium.” We may introduce paid parent features in the future; if we do, pricing, billing, renewal, and cancellation terms will be presented before you pay, will comply with applicable auto-renewal and consumer-protection laws (and applicable app-store billing rules), and will require your affirmative consent. Business-portal purchases are governed by the Business Terms and processed by Stripe.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) use the Service unlawfully or in violation of these Terms; (b) scrape, harvest, bulk-download, or systematically extract Service content or data, or use it to build a competing dataset or service; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or circumvent security or rate-limiting measures; (d) submit false, misleading, or infringing information; (e) impersonate any person or entity; (f) interfere with or disrupt the Service; (g) send spam or unauthorized communications; or (h) permit a minor to use the Service directly.

10. Intellectual property; your licence

The Service — including the Kidzhood name, logo, wordmark, branding, and trade dress, the applications and website, software and source code, our written and AI-assisted descriptions, and our selection, arrangement, categorization, and enrichment of listings (the compilation as a whole) — is owned by or licensed to TheNextWay AI Inc. and protected by Canadian, U.S., and international intellectual-property laws.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own family’s non-commercial use. All other rights are reserved. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use them without restriction or compensation.

11. Third-party platform terms

• Google Maps/Places. The Service uses Google Maps features and content. By using them you also agree to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and acknowledge the Google Privacy Policy. Venue ratings and review counts are attributed to Google.
• Apple / Google app stores. If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play: these Terms are between you and TheNextWay AI Inc. only — not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC; the store operator has no maintenance, support, or warranty obligations beyond any legally required refund of the purchase price (the app is free); and the store operator is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the app. Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list.

12. Copyright and content concerns

If you believe content in the Service infringes your rights or is inaccurate in a way that matters (for example, a listing for your business), contact hello@kidzhood.ca. We review and act on legitimate notices, including removal or correction where appropriate. Businesses may also use the claim and removal tools in the business portal.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that any listing, description, or itinerary is accurate, current, or safe, or that any third-party provider is qualified, licensed, or suitable.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) in no event will the Released Parties be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising from or relating to the Service, even if advised of the possibility; and (b) the Released Parties’ total aggregate liability for all claims will not exceed the greater of (i) the amounts you paid Kidzhood in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim and (ii) fifty Canadian dollars (CAD $50).

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited (including for fraud or wilful misconduct, or non-waivable statutory consumer rights). Where a jurisdiction limits exclusions, liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against all third-party claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms or of your representations in Section 2; (b) your misuse of the Service; (c) your or your child’s attendance at or participation in any third-party event, venue, or activity discovered through the Service; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

16. Governing law; arbitration; class-action waiver

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at hello@kidzhood.ca and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.

Binding arbitration. Except as set out below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be finally resolved by confidential, binding arbitration administered by the Vancouver International Arbitration Centre (VanIAC) under its applicable rules, seated in Vancouver, British Columbia, before a single arbitrator, in English.

Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court (including the BC Civil Resolution Tribunal) if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or the security of the Service. Nothing here prevents you from pursuing rights or remedies that applicable law says cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration or waiver — including certain claims under the BC Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act — or from complaining to a privacy regulator or consumer-protection agency.

Class-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding.

If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court, and the waiver remains in effect for all other claims.

17. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may modify or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms; if a change is material, we will give notice (in-app, by email, or on kidzhood.ca) before it takes effect, and the “Last updated” date will change. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.

18. Termination; survival

These Terms apply while you use the Service. We may suspend or terminate your access as described in Section 7. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 3–6, 10, and 13–16) survive.

19. General

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder remains in full force. These Terms and the Privacy Policy (and, for business users, the Business Terms) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Notices to you may be given in-app or to your account email.
