Weorda Parents App — Terms of Use

Effective Date: July 17, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to you as a parent, guardian, or authorized caregiver when you use the Weorda Parents mobile application. They are your personal agreement with us, separate from the agreement between Weorda and the transportation company or school that transports your child.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 15). PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

1. About These Terms

1.1 These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "your") and YPA Group Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Weorda ("Weorda," "we," "us," or "our").

1.2 These Terms apply to your use of the Weorda Parents mobile application for iOS and Android (the "App") and the related features and services made available through it (together, the "Service").

1.3 By creating an account, clicking "I agree," or using the App, you confirm you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1.4 Electronic acceptance through the click-through process is equivalent to a handwritten signature under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and applicable state law.

1.5 If you use Weorda in a work capacity (for example, as a driver, aide, dispatcher, or office administrator), that use is governed by the Weorda End User Terms, not by these Terms.

2. What the App Does

2.1 The App gives parents and guardians visibility into their child's transportation, as configured and provided by the transportation company, school, or district that operates the service (the "Operator"). Depending on the Operator's configuration, the App may allow you to:

2.2 All information displayed in the App about your child, routes, schedules, and vehicles is provided by the Operator. Weorda is a software platform and does not operate vehicles, employ drivers, or supervise transportation.

3. Eligibility and Your Account

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old to use the App. The App is intended for parents, legal guardians, and caregivers authorized by a parent or guardian. Children may not create accounts or use the App.

3.2 Access to the App is available only if the Operator has registered your phone number as an authorized parent or guardian contact for one or more children in its system. If your phone number is not registered by an Operator, you will not be able to see any child or route information.

3.3 You sign in with your phone number, verified by a one-time SMS code. By signing in, you consent to receive SMS verification codes from YPA Group. Message and data rates may apply.

3.4 You may optionally enable biometric sign-in (such as Face ID, Touch ID, or Android fingerprint). Biometric verification is performed entirely by your device's operating system. Weorda never receives, stores, or has access to your biometric data.

3.5 Because the App displays information about your child's location, you must install and use the App only on a device protected by a screen lock (such as a passcode, PIN, pattern, or biometric lock). The App may check for a screen lock and may restrict access on devices that do not have one. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and your account, and you must not allow unauthorized persons to use your signed-in App. Weorda is not responsible for unauthorized access to your account or your child's information resulting from your failure to secure your device. If you believe your account has been compromised, notify us immediately at support@weorda.com and inform your Operator.

3.6 You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date, including notifying your Operator if your phone number changes.

4. The Operator Controls Your Access and Your Child's Data

4.1 The Operator decides which parents and guardians receive access, which children and routes are linked to each account, and which features (such as chat, calling, or ride confirmations) are enabled.

4.2 Information about your child (such as name, pickup and drop-off locations, route assignment, and boarding status) is uploaded and controlled by the Operator. Weorda processes this information on the Operator's behalf as a service provider. Questions or requests about your child's information (including corrections or deletion) should be directed to the Operator or the school.

4.3 Your access to child and route information ends when the Operator removes you from its system, when your child is no longer served by the Operator, or when the Operator's subscription with Weorda ends.

4.4 If your family circumstances change (for example, custody arrangements affecting who should have access to a child's location information), you must notify the Operator. The Operator, not Weorda, is responsible for managing authorized contacts.

5. Important Safety Limitations

5.1 The App is an informational convenience tool only. It is NOT a safety device, child supervision service, emergency response system, or guarantee of your child's location or wellbeing.

5.2 Vehicle locations, estimated arrival times, and boarding statuses are estimates based on GPS data, driver confirmations, and network connectivity. They may be delayed, interrupted, or inaccurate due to device, network, GPS, or operational conditions. Do not rely on the App as your sole means of monitoring your child's transportation.

5.3 In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services. Do not use in-app messaging or calling to report emergencies.

5.4 The Operator remains solely responsible for the transportation service, including vehicle operation, driver conduct, routing decisions, and the safety and supervision of children in its care.

6. Ride Confirmations

6.1 Where the Operator enables ride confirmations, you may confirm or skip your child's scheduled rides through the App. You are responsible for the accuracy of these submissions.

6.2 If you skip a ride, the Operator may not send a vehicle for your child for that ride. Review your selections carefully, and contact the Operator directly if you make an error or need to change plans after any in-app cutoff time.

6.3 Ride confirmations are requests processed by the Operator. Weorda does not guarantee that the Operator will act on any confirmation, skip, or change.

7. Acceptable Use

7.1 You agree to use the App only for its intended purpose: monitoring and managing transportation for children for whom you are an authorized parent, guardian, or caregiver.

7.2 You agree NOT to:

7.3 Weorda may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if you violate this Section or if your use of the Service creates risk for Weorda, an Operator, any child, or other users. Operators may also revoke your access at any time.

8. Device Permissions and Notifications

8.1 The App may request the following permissions on your device. You can grant, deny, or revoke each of them at any time through your device settings; doing so may limit certain features.

8.2 By creating an account, you consent to receive transactional communications from Weorda by SMS and push notification, including sign-in codes, security alerts, and service notices. You can stop SMS messages by replying STOP (which will prevent you from signing in with that number) and control push notifications through your device settings. Standard message and data rates may apply.

9. Privacy

9.1 Our Privacy Policy explains how Weorda collects, uses, and protects information about you and how child information provided by Operators is handled. The Privacy Policy is part of these Terms by reference.

9.2 For questions about your own personal information collected by Weorda (such as your account and usage data), contact privacy@weorda.com. For questions about your child's information, contact the Operator, as described in Section 4.2.

10. Account Deletion and Termination

10.1 You may delete your account at any time in the App's settings (Control Center) or by emailing support@weorda.com. Deleting your account removes your access to the Service. See our Account Deletion page for details.

10.2 Deleting your account does not delete information about your child held by the Operator, which the Operator controls. Contact the Operator for requests about that information.

10.3 Weorda may suspend or terminate your account as described in Section 7.3, if required by law, or if your account is inactive for an extended period.

10.4 Sections that by their nature survive termination (including Sections 5, 7, 11.2, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17) shall survive.

11. License and Intellectual Property

11.1 Subject to these Terms, Weorda grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and in accordance with the usage rules of the app store from which you downloaded the App.

11.2 The App, the Service, and all related intellectual property are owned by Weorda or its licensors. Except for the license in Section 11.1, no rights are granted to you.

12. Disclaimers

12.1 THE APP AND THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WEORDA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING.

12.2 WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 5, WEORDA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT LOCATION DATA, ARRIVAL ESTIMATES, OR NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR TIMELY.

12.3 WEORDA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY OPERATOR, DRIVER, AIDE, SCHOOL, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING THE OPERATION OF VEHICLES AND THE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN.

12.4 WEORDA DOES NOT VERIFY THE IDENTITY, PARENTAL STATUS, OR CUSTODY RIGHTS OF ANY PERSON. THE OPERATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNATING AND MANAGING AUTHORIZED PARENT AND GUARDIAN CONTACTS, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.

13. Limitation of Liability

13.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WEORDA'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

13.2 IN NO EVENT SHALL WEORDA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST DATA OR PERSONAL INJURY (EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW).

13.3 The limitations in this Section 13 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise. The limitations do not apply where prohibited by applicable law, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

14. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Weorda and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your violation of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use provisions in Section 7; (b) your use of the App in violation of any law or court order, including custody orders; or (c) your misrepresentation of your identity or your relationship to a child. This Section does not require you to indemnify Weorda for claims arising from Weorda's own negligence or willful misconduct, and does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

15.1 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

15.2 Informal Resolution First. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve disputes informally by contacting legal@weorda.com. We will attempt to resolve your concern within 60 days of receiving your notice.

15.3 Mandatory Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, by videoconference where practical. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

15.4 Class Action Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

15.5 Opt-Out. You may opt out of the arbitration provision and class action waiver by emailing legal@weorda.com within thirty (30) days of creating your account, stating your name and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

15.6 Carve-Outs. You may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.

15.7 Claims Against Operators. Nothing in this Section applies to or limits any claims you may have against an Operator, a school, or any other third party. Those claims are between you and that party.

16. App Store Terms

16.1 Apple App Store. If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following applies:

16.2 Google Play. If you downloaded the App from Google Play, your use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. These Terms are between you and Weorda only. Google LLC is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. Weorda may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or operation of law.

17.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Weorda regarding your use of the App.

17.3 Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17.4 No Waiver. The failure to enforce any provision does not waive that or any other provision.

17.5 Notices. Notices to Weorda shall be sent to legal@weorda.com. Notices to you may be sent by SMS to the phone number associated with your account or by notice in the App.

17.6 Force Majeure. Weorda is not liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control, including network failures, natural disasters, or governmental actions.

17.7 Headings. Section headings are for convenience only.

17.8 Export Control. You represent that you are not located in any country subject to U.S. trade sanctions and are not listed on any U.S. government list of restricted parties.

17.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Section 16.1 (Apple), these Terms do not confer any rights or remedies on any person other than you and Weorda.

18. Changes to These Terms

18.1 Weorda may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms at weorda.com/parents-terms with a new "Last Updated" date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice (such as by SMS, push notification, or a notice in the App) at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect.

18.2 Continued use of the App after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept material changes, you may delete your account before the effective date.
