Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL KIDS ON THE YARD, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH IN-PERSON EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, LOCATION-BASED SERVICES, OR FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.
Governing Law
These in-person service terms and any disputes arising from in-person service matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these terms shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
In-Person Safety and Child Protection
Kids on the Yard maintains strict in-person service rules to protect students, families, and educators. These rules apply to all in-person services without exception.
No Transportation of Students
Kids on the Yard educators NEVER transport students by any means, including private vehicle, public transit, walking, or any other method. This rule applies in all circumstances, including:
- Walking a student home from school
- Walking a student to or from a session location
- Driving a student between locations
- Accompanying a student in any form of transportation
In a medical emergency, Kids on the Yard educators call 911 and remain with the student until emergency services or a parent/guardian arrives. Educators do not transport students even in emergency situations.
Two-Adult Rule
In-person sessions are not conducted in true one-on-one isolation. A second responsible adult (a parent, legal guardian, school staff member, Kids on the Yard staff member, or other approved adult) must be present in the home, school, facility, or public space where the session occurs. The two-adult rule protects both students and educators from misunderstanding and risk.
Parent or Guardian Present in Home
For in-person sessions delivered in the student's home, a parent or legal guardian (or another responsible adult designated in writing by the parent) must be present in the home and reachable for the entire duration of the session. Kids on the Yard educators are instructed to end the session and notify the Care Team if no parent or designated adult is present.
Background Screening (Checkr)
All Kids on the Yard educators who provide in-person services undergo background screening through Checkr, a professional third-party background screening provider, including:
- National and state criminal background checks
- Sex offender registry checks
- Continuous monitoring with periodic re-verification
- A tiered disqualification framework with a child-safety overlay
For California in-home services, Kids on the Yard educators must be enrolled in the California TrustLine Registry (operated by the California Department of Social Services) before the educator may provide services in a client's home. For school-contracted services in California and other jurisdictions that require fingerprinting, Live Scan fingerprinting is performed per the contracting school district's requirements at no cost to the educator.
Mandated Reporters
All Kids on the Yard educators who work with minors are mandated reporters of suspected child abuse or neglect under the laws of the states where Kids on the Yard operates:
| State | Statute | Hotline (24/7) |
|---|---|---|
| California | Cal. Penal Code 11164 et seq. (CANRA) | 1-800-540-4000 (LA County) |
| Florida | Fla. Stat. 39.201 (failure to report is a third-degree FELONY under Fla. Stat. 39.205) | 1-800-962-2873 |
| Montana | Mont. Code Ann. 41-3-201 | 1-866-820-5437 |
| New Jersey | N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.10 | 1-877-652-2873 |
| South Carolina | S.C. Code 63-7-310 | 1-888-227-3487 |
When a Kids on the Yard educator has reasonable cause to suspect that a child has been abused or neglected, the educator is legally required to report the suspicion to the appropriate state child welfare agency or law enforcement, regardless of any general confidentiality obligation owed to the family.
30-Day Cancellation with Reduction-Then-Cancellation Protection
Subscription cancellations require a minimum of 30 days written notice. A request to reduce, downgrade, pause, or modify service hours does NOT reset, restart, or shift the 30-day cancellation notice window. The 30-day notice runs from the date Kids on the Yard receives the written cancellation request, regardless of any prior plan modification. See the Refund Policy for the full Reduction-Then-Cancellation Protection clause.
