ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Candela Labs, LLC, dba Kiddometer, provides its service to you subject to the following Terms of Service (“TOS”). We may update this TOS by posting a new version on our website, and your continued use of the Service after any such update constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to be bound by this TOS, you should discontinue all use of the Service immediately.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall be subject to this TOS. The Service includes access to Kiddometer’s website, blog, articles, AI guides, and other content, all limited in scope to users within the United States.

BLOG AND ARTICLE DISCLAIMER
Content on Kiddometer, including rankings, guides, and recommendations, is for informational purposes only. It is not professional advice (medical, legal, financial, or otherwise). Kiddometer does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any content. Users rely on content at their own risk.

DISCLAIMER FOR AI-GENERATED GUIDES AND CONTENT
All content on Kiddometer, including but not limited to blog posts, articles, and content generated by our AI tools (“AI Guides”), is provided for informational and planning purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional advice (including but not limited to travel, legal, medical, or safety advice).

You acknowledge that AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information. Travel conditions, visa requirements, safety warnings, and business operating hours change frequently. You must independently verify all critical information from official and reliable sources before making any travel plans or decisions.

Kiddometer does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of any AI-generated content. Your reliance on any information provided by the Service, including AI Guides, is solely at your own risk.

RIGHTS TO AI-GENERATED CONTENT
Subject to your compliance with this TOS and payment of any applicable subscription fees, Kiddometer grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the AI Guides generated through your account for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license does not grant you the right to: (a) resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the AI Guides; (b) represent the AI Guides as your own original work; or (c) use the AI Guides for any unlawful purpose. Kiddometer and its licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property rights in the underlying AI models and the Service.

USER CONTENT AND LICENSES
You are solely responsible for content you submit (“User Materials”). By submitting content, you grant Kiddometer a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify, distribute, and display such content as part of the Service. Kiddometer may remove content at its discretion.
