Terms of Service

The service we offer

Articarry provides a web application a speech-language pathologist can use to assign at-home practice activities to a child, and a child's guardian can use to support that practice from home. During the beta, the service is provided free of charge, as-is.

Billing, cancellation, and refunds

Articarry is free during this internal beta. There is no charge today. The terms below describe how paid subscriptions will work when billing is enabled, so there are no surprises.

• Cancel anytime. You can cancel from your account at any time. There are no cancellation fees and no long-term lock-in.
• Monthly plans. When you cancel a monthly plan, it stops at the end of the period you've already paid for. You keep access until then, and you are not charged again. Monthly payments already made are not refunded.
• Annual plans: 30-day “didn't fit” refund. If your first annual purchase isn't a fit for you, tell us within 30 days of that purchase and we'll refund it in full, no questions asked. After 30 days, an annual plan runs to the end of its term and is not refunded; canceling stops it from renewing.
• Free trials. Some plans start with a free trial and ask for no card up front. If you do nothing, the trial simply ends. You are never charged without adding a payment method first.

Eligibility

The clinician account is for licensed speech-language pathologists. The guardian account is for parents or legal guardians acting on behalf of a child enrolled by a clinician. Articarry is not for use by children acting on their own behalf. The children's privacy page explains.

No clinical claims

Articarry does not diagnose, treat, or produce assessments. Nothing the product surfaces (a per-word band, a "sounded like" signal, an adherence indicator) is a clinical finding. A clinician applies their training and tools to a record of practice; Articarry's job is to make that record legible. The Terms do not warrant any clinical outcome; the clinician's professional judgment is the only such authority.

What you must not do

• Use Articarry to upload audio for which you have not obtained consent. The platform enforces consent server-side; you must also have obtained it offline where the platform's enforcement is upstream of your action (for example, sharing a guardian invite with the intended recipient).
• Attempt to access another clinician's caseload, another guardian's family data, or another account's recordings.
• Scrape, mirror, or programmatically extract content from Articarry beyond what the published API surface permits (during the beta there is none).
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise distribute access to your account.
• Use the service in a manner that violates applicable law, including health-information privacy law for the jurisdictions you operate in.

Your content

Recordings made by a child remain the family's content. The practice plans, notes, and configurations a clinician creates remain the clinician's content. Articarry retains a limited license to host, process, and present each to the parties for whom it was intended (the family + the clinician). That license ends when the content is deleted.

Our content

The platform code, the design system, the books and illustrations Articarry has authored or commissioned, and the clinical structure (journey templates, the phoneme matrix) are Articarry's. The Terms grant you a non-transferable license to use them through the service; they do not transfer ownership.

Termination

Either side can end the relationship. A guardian deletes from the account page (see privacy for the 30-day window). A clinician closes their account by emailing support@articarry.com. Articarry may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, and will tell you in writing if it does.

Disclaimers and liability

During the beta the service is provided as-is, without warranty. Articarry disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the extent allowed by law. Articarry's aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the fees you have paid Articarry in the twelve months preceding the claim (during the beta, that is zero). Nothing in these Terms limits liability where law does not allow it to be limited: that includes liability for negligence resulting in personal injury, and for fraud.

Changes

We may revise these Terms. Material changes are announced by email to the account on file at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after the effective date is acceptance. The consent that a guardian gives for recording is versioned independently of these Terms; a change to recording consent always re-asks.

Governing law

During the beta, the substantive rules above govern the relationship between Articarry and you. The choice of jurisdiction + the specific dispute-resolution language carry the same real-patient-deployment gate the rest of these Terms do; both will be set by the legal review that lands before any non-beta use.
