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 PLACEMENT PROGRAM SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL PLACEMENTS, INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS, OR PLACEMENT EFFECTIVENESS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

Governing Law

These placement program service terms and any disputes arising from placement services 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 placement terms shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

FERPA School Official Under Contract Framework

When Kids on the Yard provides services under a contract with a school or school district that receives federal funding, Kids on the Yard is bound by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. Section 1232g and 34 CFR Part 99, as a "school official with legitimate educational interest" under 34 CFR Section 99.31(a)(1)(i)(B). Kids on the Yard satisfies all four required criteria of that regulation:

1. Performs an institutional service or function for which the contracting school would otherwise use its own employees;
2. Is under the direct control of the contracting school with respect to the use and maintenance of education records;
3. Uses education records only for the authorized purposes described in the school district contract; and
4. Does not redisclose personally identifiable information from education records to any other party without the school's authorization or as otherwise permitted under FERPA.

For records received from or generated under a school district contract, FERPA is a binding legal obligation of Kids on the Yard, not a voluntary commitment. Kids on the Yard also complies with applicable state student data privacy laws, including:

• California: Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Section 22584
• Florida: Fla. Stat. Section 1002.222 (Student records)
• New Jersey: N.J.S.A. 18A:36-35 (Student records)
• Montana and South Carolina: applicable state student data privacy provisions

For families who engage Kids on the Yard directly (parent-paid services not contracted by a school district), FERPA does not apply directly to Kids on the Yard, and student information is governed by the Kids on the Yard Privacy Statement instead.

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:

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.

In-Person Service Area (United States Only)

Kids on the Yard provides in-person services nationwide across the United States only. Availability at any specific address is determined at the ZIP-code level based on current staff capacity and scheduling, which changes frequently; contact [email protected] to confirm whether a particular in-person service is available at your location. Kids on the Yard does not offer in-person services outside the United States; international customers may access Kids on the Yard online services, which are available worldwide.
