Oct. 2024

Welcome to The Baba Bears.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of The Baba Bears website, videos, games, activities, subscriptions, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a child, you confirm that you are the child's parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult caregiver.

1. About The Baba Bears

The Baba Bears is an early-learning entertainment program designed for young children and families.

Our Service may include videos, songs, characters, games, activities, stories, educational entertainment, and other content intended to encourage children's curiosity, participation, and early learning.

  • Determining whether particular content or activities are appropriate for their child

  • Maintaining the security of their account

  • Managing their subscription

  • Ensuring that children use the Service appropriately

3. Subscriptions

Certain content or features may require a paid subscription.

Subscription prices, billing periods, and available features will be displayed before purchase.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, subscriptions may automatically renew at the end of each billing period until cancelled.

You authorize the applicable payment provider to charge the payment method associated with your subscription.

4. Cancellation

Parents or guardians may cancel a subscription according to the cancellation procedures provided through the website or applicable payment provider.

Cancellation generally stops future renewal but does not necessarily provide a refund for a billing period that has already begun, except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise.

5. Refunds

Refunds will be handled according to the refund terms displayed at the time of purchase and any applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

The Baba Bears does not require customers to provide complete payment-card information directly to The Baba Bears.

Payment processing may be subject to the payment provider's own terms and privacy policy.

The Baba Bears provides early-learning content through songs, videos, characters, games, and activities intended to encourage children's curiosity, participation, and early learning.

The Baba Bears is an educational entertainment program. It is not a school, accredited educational institution, licensed childcare provider, or formal educational curriculum.

Our content is intended to supplement, not replace, a child's education, instruction, developmental services, or professional advice.

The Baba Bears does not guarantee any particular educational, developmental, behavioral, or academic outcome.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in their child's learning experience and use their own judgment in determining whether particular activities or content are appropriate for their child.

Nothing presented by The Baba Bears should be interpreted as medical, psychological, developmental, therapeutic, or other professional advice.

9. Children's Use of the Service

The Baba Bears is designed for young children and families.

Children should use the Service with appropriate supervision from a parent, guardian, or responsible adult.

We may provide limited information to companies and service providers that are necessary to operate our website and services, such as website hosting, payment processing, security, technical support, and related services.

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to us and may have their own privacy policies.

Wix may process information associated with visitors, accounts, subscriptions, website usage, and other technical operations necessary to provide its services.

The Baba Bears does not control Wix's independent privacy practices. Wix may use service providers or subprocessors as part of operating its platform.

Our use of Wix does not mean that The Baba Bears sells or rents personal information.

5. Payment Processing

If you purchase a subscription, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor.

We use payment-processing services so that parents and guardians can securely purchase subscriptions without requiring The Baba Bears to directly handle all payment-card information.

The payment processor's own privacy policy and terms may also apply to payment transactions.

6. Children's Privacy and COPPA

The Baba Bears is designed for young children and their parents or guardians.

We do not intentionally request personal information directly from children.

If personal information from a child under 13 is ever collected in connection with our services in circumstances covered by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we will take the steps required by applicable law, including applicable parental notice, consent, access, deletion, and other rights.

We do not condition a child's participation in an activity on providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for that activity.

Parents and guardians who have questions about information potentially associated with their child may contact us using the contact information below.

7. Parental Rights

Parents or legal guardians may contact us to:

  • Ask what personal information may have been collected from their child

  • Request access to applicable information

  • Request correction of information

  • Request deletion of applicable information

  • Withdraw consent where applicable

  • Ask questions about our privacy practices

We will take reasonable steps to verify that a person making a request has the legal authority to make that request.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain accounts and subscriptions, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal or operational requirements.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, analytics, or similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website performance, and support necessary website functions.

Certain technologies may be provided by Wix or other service providers.

We do not use children's personal information for targeted advertising.

  • Website hosting

  • Video delivery

  • Payment processing

  • Website security

  • Technical services
