Babisy provides discovery and communication tools only.
Babisy does not:

- guarantee that a user will receive a reply, find a Babysitter, obtain work or enter into a childcare arrangement.
Any interview, meeting, hiring decision, childcare arrangement, payment agreement or other agreement is made directly between users.
Babisy is not a party to agreements made between users.

- verify education, qualifications or certifications;
- inspect users’ homes;

Users must independently conduct whatever checks they consider appropriate before meeting, hiring or working with another user.
These steps may include:

- asking questions;
- conducting an interview;
- meeting in person or by video;
- verifying identification;
- checking references;
- reviewing qualifications;
- requesting an appropriate police record check; and

Any badge, label or Platform feature indicating that information has been reviewed or verified applies only to the specific information and process expressly described by Babisy. It is not a general guarantee of identity, character, qualifications, conduct, safety or suitability.
7. USER CONTENT
“User Content” includes information or materials that users create, submit, upload, send or make available through the Platform, including:
- profile information;
- descriptions;

This licence continues for as long as your User Content remains on the Platform and for a reasonable period afterward where copies remain in backups or must be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purposes.
Private messages will not be publicly displayed as profile content.
8. COMMUNICATIONS
Users may communicate through Platform messaging features where available.
You must not use messaging features to:
- harass, threaten, intimidate or abuse another person;

- operate and protect the Platform;
- respond to user reports;
- investigate suspected violations;

We may immediately restrict or remove accounts or content involving suspected child exploitation, serious threats, fraud or other significant safety risks.
Where permitted or required by law, we may preserve relevant information and report serious matters to police, child-protection organizations or other appropriate authorities.
Babisy is not an emergency service. If a child or another person is in immediate danger, contact 911 or the appropriate local authority.
10. REPORTING AND BLOCKING
Users may use available Platform tools to:
- report a profile;
- report content or messages;
- report suspected safety concerns; and
- block another user.
Reports must be submitted honestly and in good faith.
You must not knowingly submit a false or malicious report or retaliate against someone for making a good-faith report.
We may review reports and take action we consider appropriate, including:
- issuing a warning;
- removing content;
- restricting messaging;
- suspending an account;
- terminating an account;
- preventing the creation of additional accounts; or
- referring a matter to appropriate authorities.
We do not guarantee:
- that every report will result in action;
- a particular investigation process;

- a particular outcome; or
- disclosure of confidential moderation or investigation information.
Reporting something to Babisy does not replace contacting emergency services, police, a children’s aid society or another appropriate authority.

Users must make their own payment arrangements.
Babisy is not responsible for:

- withholding taxes;
- issuing employment records;
- payment delays;

Premium subscription payments made to access Babisy features are separate from payments made between users for childcare.
12. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONS
12.1 Premium access
Babisy may offer an automatically renewing Premium subscription that provides access to messaging features for the subscription period shown before purchase.

The price displayed in the applicable app store at the time of purchase controls.
Taxes may be charged where applicable.

The applicable app store will charge the payment method associated with your Apple or Google account according to its subscription terms.

You should cancel your subscription through the applicable app store before deleting your Babisy account if you do not want the subscription to renew.
12.6 Refunds
Refund requests for app-store purchases must generally be submitted to the app store through which the subscription was purchased.

Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory refund, cancellation or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
12.7 Trials and promotional offers
Babisy may offer a free trial, discounted period or other promotional offer.
Where an offer is available, its duration, eligibility requirements and renewal price will be disclosed before purchase.
Unless cancelled before the end of the trial or promotional period, the subscription may automatically convert to a paid subscription at the price shown before purchase.

We may change Premium subscription prices for reasons including:
- changes to Premium features;
- increased operating or technology costs;

- changes in taxes;
- currency changes; or

Any price change will be implemented through the applicable app store and will be subject to the advance notice, consent and cancellation rights required by the app store and applicable law.
A price change will not retroactively alter a completed billing period.

Users make decisions and enter into arrangements at their own discretion and risk.
Nothing in these Terms excludes representations or warranties that cannot legally be excluded.

This section does not require you to indemnify us for claims resulting solely from our own fraud, wilful misconduct or liability that cannot legally be excluded.
21. SUSPENSION, TERMINATION AND ACCOUNT DELETION
We may restrict, suspend or terminate an account where we reasonably believe that:

You may stop using the Platform or request account deletion at any time using the available account-deletion feature or by contacting us.
Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an Apple App Store or Google Play subscription. You remain responsible for cancelling the subscription through the applicable app store.
Sections that by their nature should continue after termination will survive, including provisions concerning User Content licences, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law and disputes.
