If you do not meet the age requirement or do not agree to all applicable terms and conditions, please do not access or download the beta materials. Otherwise, your access or download of any beta materials means that you have accepted all terms and conditions

KINCHIP will provide you with software, documentation and access to the beta testing website (“Beta Materials”) that is required for participation in the beta test program (“Program”). The Program may include Beta Materials, including software, user documentation, specifications or other technical documentation related to Kindom, by published by KINCHIP or its third-party publishers. Program participation is subject to this Agreement’s terms and will require you to have access to the internet and certain software that are not provided to you by KINCHIP.

You agree to provide information to KINCHIP regarding your experiences using Beta Materials, such as the connectivity and usability of Beta Materials. Your desired responses may include responding to surveys or reporting bug problems. Information you provide to KINCHIP in connection with the Program, including ideas or inventions collected by KINCHIP is referred to as “Feedback.” You agree that Feedback

  1. contains your original ideas or invention and is provided by you to KINCHIP without payment or conditions;

5 ) Children’s Personal Information

KinChip Systems Pty Ltd does not directly solicit subscription or personal information from children. We do, however, provide opportunities for parents and guardians to invite children in their care and supervision, to use the Kindom platform to participate in the management of their own development and family interactions within the family kindom.

This may mean that children upload Personal Information into the platform.

To ensure compliance with the Children’s Online Protection Act, children under the age of 13 should not access this site or provide Personal Information to this site, unless or except with the permission, guidance and supervision of their parent and/or guardians.

If we become aware that a user is under the age of 13 and has provided Personal Information to us without parental or guardian consent, we will remove such personal information from our records.
