Your acceptance

You accept these Terms by clicking a box indicating your acceptance.

These Terms will commence on the date you accept these Terms and will continue until the date these Terms are terminated in accordance with a termination right in these Terms (Term).

When we will start providing our services

We agree to commence the provision of our Services within a reasonable time after (i) you accept these Terms; (ii) we receive from you payment of the Joining Fee in full; and (ii) you provide the initial information we require from you.

What we will do for you

In consideration of your payment of the Subscription Fee, we will provide our Services in accordance with these Terms, whether ourselves or through our staff.

We agree to use reasonable efforts to (i) ensure all of our obligations under these Terms, including the performance of our Services, will be carried out by suitably competent and trained staff; and (ii) in an efficient and professional manner.

We believe in confidentiality

Subject to the clause directly below, we must keep confidential, and not use or permit any unauthorised use of, any Confidential Information.

The clause directly above does not apply where the disclosure is required by law or the disclosure is to a professional adviser in order to obtain advice in relation to matters arising in connection with these Terms and provided that we ensure the adviser complies with the terms of clause.

This clause will survive termination or expiry of these Terms.

Using your App

As part of our Services, we have developed a quality assurance process which requires staff review of all entries made in the App. While we have put this process in place for your peace of mind, we cannot guarantee that all App entries will be 100% correct. You agree that App entries rely on us being provided with accurate, complete and up-to-date information and being promptly informed of any changes in information. We take all reasonable steps to include correct information in the App entries and we agree to promptly update any App entry found to be irrelevant, inaccurate, incomplete or out of date as soon as we become aware of the issue.

If you or any of your family members edit any App entry you are solely responsible for those edits, including any errors made as part of the edits or any information lost in connection with the edits. 

Our service is a secondary tool provided for your convenience. Before you rely on the information in any entry in the App you must satisfy yourself that the information is accurate, complete and up-to-date and it is solely your responsibility to confirm the information in each App entry.

If you choose to use the task completion functionality, any reminders or deadlines recorded in the App for tasks marked as completed will be automatically deleted from the main calendar view. For your peace of mind, they will remain ticked in the task view.

What we need from you

You agree to: (i) provide all assistance, information, documentation, access, facilities, authorities, consents, licences and permissions reasonably necessary to enable us to comply with our obligations under these Terms or any laws; (ii) only provide access to the App included in our Services to users who are pre-approved by us; (iii) confirm the details of any event or task in the App before relying on this information; and (v) comply with these Terms, our reasonable requests or requirements, and all applicable laws.

We recommend that you promptly notify us of any change in information for an App entry so that we can provide you with up-to-date entries and regularly check your calendar and task list so that you are aware of any updates to App entries.

School & extracurricular activity account information

To provide our Services, we require you to provide us your account credentials to Third Party platforms (Credentials), such as your child’s school portal and/or school’s application.

You acknowledge that you have provided written approval and you agree to authorise us to use the Credentials to access the relevant Third Party platforms to perform our Services.

Upon termination of these Terms, we recommend you change your Credentials in order to ensure that your security is not compromised.

Your emails

You agree that as part of our Services we require you to set up automatic forwarding of the emails received from or sent to your child’s school or extracurricular activities, and included in our Services, to us. You can choose to build in exclusions to the emails sent to us by using the word ‘personalmywhanau’ in the subject or email body. For further information, please see our frequently asked questions on the website.

We will use these emails solely to perform our Services, to update your schedule and we will not respond to these emails.

It is at your discretion which emails we receive. However, if you choose to restrict us from receiving emails you acknowledge and agree that this may impact on your experience of our Services and in certain circumstances we may not be able to provide our Services.

If we receive any forwarded email addressed to you which we do not reasonably require to perform our Services, we will delete such email and if appropriate we will block the sender in our email account and regularly delete all spam messages received from them.

Privacy and storage of your information

We will handle your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy (available on our website).

Your Credentials, account information and any other personal information you provide to us is stored securely in our systems and can only be accessed by the necessary staff, or Third Party providers that assist us with providing our Services. We also use password protection, two step verification and SSL encryption to help secure information we hold.

How to pay for our services

Your Subscription will begin with a 1 month free trial (and may be subject to extension by us). The trial is free and designed to allow you to evaluate our Services and make sure they are right for you. The free trial begins on the date that you accept these Terms and ends 1 month later (unless we notify you that we are extending the trial). We will send 1 reminder to the email address registered with us at least 7 days before the end of the free trial. If you do not contact us and cancel the free trial before it ends, you will be billed the Subscription Fee as set out below. We determine trial eligibility in our sole discretion and we may limit eligibility to prevent trial abuse. We reserve the right to revoke the trial and suspend your access in the event that we determine that you are not eligible.

Following your free trial, you agree to pay us the Subscription Fee upfront on a monthly or annual basis (depending on your selected billing period), commencing on the calendar day corresponding to the date your free trial ends (Payment Date). In some cases, your Payment Date may change, for example, if payment is unable to be processed.

Payment must be made via a payment method approved by us. 

Your Subscription to our Services will automatically continue on a month-to-month or year-to-year basis (depending on your selected billing period) until cancelled in accordance with the cancellation clause below.

You may upgrade or downgrade your Subscription by sending us an email requesting to alter our Services (including varying the number of children included in our Services or who is able to access our Services via your account). We will inform you of the new Subscription Fee and if you agree to this new Subscription Fee, transfer you to your new Subscription. For an upgrade, on acceptance, your chosen payment method will be charged the new Subscription Fee on a pro-rata basis for the period up to your next Payment Date. For a downgrade, on acceptance, your chosen payment method will be charged the new Subscription Fee on your next Payment Date. The varied Services will come into effect from the first payment of the new Subscription Fee (or part thereof). Any upgrade or downgrade of your Subscription will not affect the operation of these Terms.

If any payment has not been made within 3 days of the Payment Date, we may (at our absolute discretion) immediately cease providing our Services, and recover, as a debt due and immediately payable from you, our additional costs of doing so.

Cancellation

You may cancel your Subscription and terminate these Terms at any time by giving us notice in writing prior to your next Payment Date and your Subscription will terminate on your next Payment Date. To the maximum extent permitted by law, when you cancel your Subscription in accordance with this clause, the Subscription Fee is not refundable but, without limiting our rights under these Terms, you will continue to have access to your Subscription for the period for which you have pre-paid, being up to your next Payment Date.

You may also terminate these Terms in accordance with the termination right in the “Variations” clause below.

We may terminate these Terms immediately with written notice to you, if: (i) you breach any material provision of these Terms; (ii) you breach any provision of these Terms and that breach has not been remedied within 10 days of being notified by us; or (iii) for any other reason outside our control which has the effect of compromising our ability to provide our Services.

Variations

We may modify these Terms, our Services included in your Subscription and the Subscription Fees from time to time. Any change in our Terms or included Services will apply to you no earlier than 30 days following notice to you via email.

If a change to our Terms and/or included Services would substantially and adversely affect you, then you may provide us notice in writing to cancel your Subscription and terminate these Terms within 30 days of the date of our notice. Any change to the Subscription Fees will not apply until your next Payment Date.

If you do not agree with any change to the Subscription Fees you may choose to cancel your Subscription and terminate these Terms prior to your next Payment Date in accordance with the “cancellation” clause.

After our services end

Upon termination of these Terms: (i) you agree to immediately deactivate the automatic forwarding of emails to us and we do not accept any Liability for your failure to do so; (ii) we will cease providing our Services (including by disabling any specific email address we have created for your auto-forwarding and your access to the App); (iii) we will delete your calendar event entries and task entries and all information input into the App or sent to us by you in connection with the Services (including emails sent to us); (iv) you will not be able to access the App, including your calendar entries or task entries or any information input into the App or sent to us by you in connection with the Services; (v) to the maximum extent permitted by law, except where you terminate in accordance with the “variations” clause below, you agree that any payments made by you to us are not refundable to you; and (vi) if you terminate in accordance with the “variations” clause below, we will refund to you on a pro-rata basis the Subscription Fees for any unused portion of your Subscription.
