Terms of Service

Your relationship with Peaceful CoParenting Messenger
1.1 Your use of Peaceful CoParenting Messenger is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Peaceful CoParenting Messenger. "Peaceful Parent" means Gemini Communications LLC, whose principal place of business is at 5606 Jordan Drive, CO, United States. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out the terms of that agreement.

1.3 These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Peaceful CoParenting Messenger in relation to your use of our Services. Our Services include all of our communication tools and our records of communication. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the "Terms".
 
2. Accepting the Terms
2.1 In order to use our Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You may not use our Services if you do not accept the Terms.

(B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand and agree that Peaceful CoParenting Messenger will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards.
2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Peaceful CoParenting Messenger, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.
2.4 Before you continue, you should print off or save a local copy of the Terms for your records.

3.1 Where Peaceful CoParenting Messenger or any other service has provided you with a translation of the English language version of the Terms, then you agree that the translation is provided for your convenience only and that the English language versions of the Terms will govern your relationship with Peaceful CoParenting Messenger.
3.2 If there is any contradiction between what the English language version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the English language version shall take precedence.
 
4. Provision of the Services by Peaceful CoParenting Messenger
4.1 Peaceful CoParenting Messenger must make use of other entities and companies in order to best provide you with our services while keeping the cost to you low and your information secure. Sometimes, these companies will be providing our Services to you on behalf of Peaceful CoParenting Messenger itself. You acknowledge and agree that such other companies will be entitled to provide the Services to you.
4.2 Peaceful CoParenting Messenger is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services which Peaceful CoParenting Messenger provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you.
4.3 When a parent no longer wants or needs to use our service we recommend they do the following:
1.     Create a new conversation to inform the other parent of your intent to stop using Peaceful CoParenting Messenger - thereby providing them with notice and documenting your intent.

4.     Stop using Peaceful CoParenting Messenger.
If you continue to receive any notifications from our system then please let us know.

4.4 You acknowledge and agree that while Peaceful CoParenting Messenger may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through our Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of our Service, such fixed upper limits may be set by Peaceful Parent at any time, at Peaceful Parent's discretion.

Peaceful CoParenting Messenger is not responsible for the unlawful, improper or tasteless distribution or use of our records of communication by users or anyone else. Our records are meant to be used in Court and therefore to become part of the public record. We hope this will encourage our users to act in a mature and professional manner with regard to their communications through our service.
7.3 Parents who choose to add a parenting coordinator or other third party to their case (should such functionality be available) agree to provide constant access to their entire record of communications to that third party.

In such circumstances Peaceful CoParenting Messenger may provide records of communication directly to Courts, Pretrial Services or Release programs, Prosecutor’s Offices, Probation Offices or any similar such entity. Use of our services under such circumstances constitutes an agreement to this provision and all other provisions of these Terms. Such entities must provide us with a copy of the court order or minutes requiring use of our service.

If at any point you feel advertising is getting in the way of our service or is too distracting in any way please contact us at support@peacefulparentapp.com. Advertising may be “targeted” in that it is based on a user’s location or content of their communications. That does not mean we are sharing your personal information with anyone or reading your communications. All it means is that a computer program is showing you particular advertising based on your location or some key word or phrase within your communications. This type of advertising is typical for many modern internet-based services.
