Welcome to Childcare Waitlist Tracker ("Service," "we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Childcare Waitlist Tracker is a software application that helps parents and guardians organise and track their childcare waitlist applications. The Service provides tools to:

  • Record information about children and childcare centres
  • Track the status of waitlist applications
  • Set reminders for follow-ups and deadlines
  • Organise application-related information

The Service is an organisational tool only. We do not submit applications on your behalf, communicate with childcare centres, guarantee placement, or have any relationship with childcare providers.

3. Account Registration

To use our Service, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your password and account
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion.

4. IMPORTANT: Reminder Service Limitations and Disclaimer

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY REGARDING THE REMINDER FEATURES OF OUR SERVICE.

4.1 Reminders Are a Convenience Feature Only

The reminder functionality provided by our Service is offered as a convenience feature only and is not guaranteed. Reminders are intended to assist you in organising your follow-up activities but should not be relied upon as your sole method of tracking important dates or deadlines.

4.2 No Guarantee of Delivery

We do not guarantee that reminder notifications will be:

  • Delivered successfully to your email or device
  • Delivered on time or at the scheduled time
  • Received, read, or acted upon by you
  • Free from technical errors, delays, or failures

Email delivery depends on third-party services, internet connectivity, spam filters, and other factors outside our control. We are not responsible for any failure in the delivery of reminder notifications.

4.3 Your Sole Responsibility

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR:

  • Tracking all important dates, deadlines, and follow-ups related to your childcare applications
  • Maintaining your own independent system for managing critical deadlines
  • Verifying the accuracy of any dates or information stored in the Service
  • Taking timely action on your childcare applications regardless of whether you receive a reminder
  • Responding to offers, deadlines, or communications from childcare centres

4.4 No Liability for Missed Opportunities

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR MISSED OPPORTUNITIES ARISING FROM:

  • Failure to receive, read, or act upon reminder notifications
  • Technical failures, delays, or errors in the reminder system
  • Missed deadlines for responding to childcare centre offers
  • Loss of a childcare placement or spot on a waitlist
  • Any financial loss, inconvenience, or other damages resulting from reliance on the reminder feature
  • Incorrect, outdated, or incomplete information stored in your account
  • Email delivery failures, spam filtering, or other email-related issues

This limitation applies regardless of whether the failure was caused by technical issues, human error, third-party services, or any other reason.

4.5 Recommendation

We strongly recommend that you:

  • Maintain your own calendar or reminder system for critical deadlines
  • Do not rely solely on our Service for time-sensitive matters
  • Regularly check the status of your applications directly with childcare centres
  • Set multiple reminders using different systems for important deadlines
