This User Agreement (the "Agreement") is an agreement between you and Virtual Piggy, Inc. ("We", "Us", "Our", or "VP”) and applies to your and your children’s use of the Virtual Piggy service and any related products and services (collectively the "Service"). The Virtual Piggy Service is an online system that enables parents to facilitate and control their children’s online spending transactions and allows children to make parent-authorized purchases funded by a parent’s credit card from participating online merchants, applications or websites using the Virtual Piggy Service. This Agreement applies whether you access the Service through our website, www.virtualpiggy.com (the “Site”) or one owned or controlled by us or any entity controlled by, in control of, or under common control with us (an “Affiliate”) or a third party website or application, such as a participating merchant’s website.

1. Modifications to Agreement and Service. We may modify the terms of this Agreement or the features of the Service at any time. Such modifications to this Agreement shall be effective upon posting on the Site. Your use of the Site or the Service after a change has been posted to the Site or implemented in the Service will be deemed to your acceptance of such changes. If you do not accept a change to this Agreement or feature of the Service, your sole remedy is to contact us and close your account.

Parents may only register their own children. We reserve the right to refuse to provide or discontinue the Service or close your Virtual Piggy Parent and/or any Child Account at any time for any reason.

3. Creating Accounts. Parents are required to create a Virtual Piggy Parent Account (“Account”) by entering all the required information; including, without limitation, parent name and address, contact information, credit, debit or other payment card information, spending limits, notification and approval preferences and creating a Virtual Piggy User ID and Password. Parents are also required to create a Child Profile Account for each Child authorized by them to use the Virtual Piggy Service by entering all the required information in the Child Profile; including, without limitation, creating a Child profile name and User ID, designating allowed merchants, and setting transaction or other spending limits or approval requirements. The information you provide to us will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy, located at http://www.virtualpiggy.com/virtual-piggy-privacy-policy, as amended from time to time.

By using the Site, a Parent represents and warrants that: (a) all account opening, registration and other information submitted is truthful, accurate, current and complete; (b) they will maintain the accuracy of such information by updating and revising it promptly; (c) they are the parent or legal guardian of any Child for whom they create a Child Account Profile; and (d) their and their Child’s use of the Site will not violate any applicable law or regulation or be for any fraudulent undertaking. You authorize us to make any inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to validate your Virtual Piggy Account information, including engaging third parties to provide such services as age and identity verification on the Site. We reserve all rights to take legal action against anyone who misrepresents personal information or is otherwise untruthful about their or a Child’s identity, and to suspend use of the Service or cancel a Virtual Piggy Account established using inaccurate or incomplete information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that we cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information submitted by any user of the Site or Service, nor any identity information about any particular user.

4. Your Responsibility for User ID, Profile Names and Passwords. Parents are required to create (a) a Virtual Piggy User ID and Password for access to their Virtual Piggy Account, and (b) Child User ID and Password to enable their registered Child to use the Virtual Piggy Service for checkout and payment at participating merchants and to access the “Kids” section of the Site and Account. You and your Child are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Virtual Piggy User ID, Child User ID and passwords and for any use of or action taken under those ID and passwords with the Service. If your passwords or IDs are compromised, Parent must change them immediately and notify us immediately at support@virtualpiggy.zendesk.com or such other customer service contact address posted on the Site to avoid unauthorized use of your Virtual Piggy Account. By logging into the Site, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are the person who registered for the Services; (ii) that you are using the Services only for permitted purposes; (iii) you will not select or utilize a User ID or password of another person with intent to impersonate that person; (iv) you will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your or your Child’s Password, Profile Name or User ID or your Account or any other breach of security; and (v) you will ensure that you exit from your Virtual Piggy Account at the end of each session.

5. Payment for Transactions Using Service. Parents are required to provide us with all necessary information for the credit, debit or payment card accounts or other accounts (“Payment Account”) that will be used to pay for the purchase of goods, products or services from approved participating merchants, applications or websites that are either (a) within the limits set in the Child Profile(s) or elsewhere in their Virtual Piggy Account or (b) subsequently approved by Parent in response to an email or other communication from VP, that are initiated by a registered Child or user of the Virtual Piggy Service (a “Payment Transaction”). We may use the services of one or more third party, hosting providers, processors and/or financial institutions (each a "Processor") to process a Payment Transaction initiated through the Service. BY PROVIDING PAYMENT ACCOUNT INFORMATION, PARENT EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZES VIRTUAL PIGGY, INC., ITS AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND PROCESSORS TO CHARGE OR DEBIT THE PAYMENT ACCOUNT FOR ALL PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS. Your authorization will remain in full force and effect while you maintain your Virtual Piggy Account and for any Payment Account listed. We may delay, suspend or refuse to process a Payment Transaction if we suspect the transaction is unauthorized, fraudulent, suspicious or otherwise unusual based on prior transaction activity or other fraud controls. We are not responsible for any fees or interest charged directly by your card issuer. Except for our limited role in processing Payment Transactions, we are not involved in any underlying transaction between you or a registered Child and a participating merchant, service provider, application or website using the Virtual Piggy Service. We are not a bank and do not offer banking services. Your Payment Account information will not be stored in our system; it will be provided to our third party hosting provider or Processor and we or they will maintain a secure token that can be verified with our Processor to facilitate future Payment Transactions without you or your Child having to provide to a merchant or our having to re-transmit Payment Account information for each purchase transaction using the Service. Upon the termination of your Virtual Piggy Account, we will have no obligation to you to store, retain, report, or otherwise provide any copies of, or access to, any records, documentation or other information in connection with any Payment Transaction.

6. Prohibited Uses; Unauthorized Account Activity. A Child may not use the Services to engage in activities that may be illegal for minors under federal and/or state or local laws; including, but not limited to, the purchase or sale of alcohol, tobacco or adult oriented content. We reserve the right to limit or close a Virtual Piggy Account if we believe that the Account is associated with any prohibited use. If you believe that there is an error or unauthorized Payment Transaction or activity associated with your Virtual Piggy Account, you should contact us immediately at support@virtualpiggy.zendesk.com or such other customer service contact address posted on the Site.

7. Products Purchased Using Virtual Piggy Service; Refunds. When you or your Child use the Service, we will process the Payment Transaction for a third party merchant, service provider, application or website (“Merchant”). You hereby acknowledge that VP is an agent in processing your Payment Transaction. We make no claims as to and shall not be held responsible for the safety, quality, reliability, legality, or fitness for a particular purpose of products and services offered by Merchants and purchased using the Service, nor do we make any claims as to the accuracy of information provided by Merchants about a product or service. We do not guarantee a Merchant's ability to deliver a product or service. Please refer to the Merchant's Terms of Service for more information about their warranties and responsibilities to you. When you or your Child places an order on a Merchant's site and pay for the order using our Service, the Merchant may not be required to accept the order. You agree not to hold VP liable for any damages resulting from the rejection of an order placed with a Merchant. We will not process a charge from your Payment Account when a Merchant rejects your order. The Merchant, and not VP, is responsible for refunding or compensating you for returned items. Please refer to the Merchant’s refund and return policy for whether and how returns and refunds will be accepted and processed.

8. Mobile Text Services. Virtual Piggy may in the future include a feature enabling Parents to receive SMS text message alerts and notifications (“Mobile Services”) about transactions initiated by their children as established in their Virtual Piggy Parent Account or Child Profile. In the event that Mobile Services are provided, we reserve the right to charge a fee for such Mobile Services, which fee will be disclosed on the Site where Parents have the ability to select the Mobile Services feature or otherwise during the Mobile Services registration process. Your Carriers, such as message and data rates as well as access charges, may also apply charges to Mobile Services. To stop any Mobile Services from VP at any time, send a text message with STOP, END or QUIT to the program's mobile short code. Alternatively you may also log into your profile on VirtualPiggy.com and change your notification settings. Your mobile device must have text messaging capability to use any Mobile Services. By opting into any Mobile Services you represent that you are the owner of the mobile device and that you are at least eighteen years old. To contact us, you may send an email to support@virtualpiggy.com, or call 610-825-8805 or text HELP to the program’s mobile short code. In addition to all other terms and conditions set out herein, your dealings with any Carrier in connection with the Site, any Mobile Services or any other Services, including payment for and delivery of any participation in any promotions offered by any Carrier, and/or any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between you and the Carrier. We shall not be responsible or liable for any part of any such dealings or promotions.

9. Links to other Websites. Our Site may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. VP has no control over third-party sites, is not responsible for the content or accuracy of or products and services provided by such sites, does not guarantee the content of such sites is accurate, legal, and/or inoffensive, and does not investigate, monitor or check such sites. Inclusion of any linked website on our Sites does not imply approval or endorsement of the linked third-party sites, products or services by VP, and we do not warrant that they do not contain viruses or other features that may harm your computer. When you access third-party sites you do so at your own risk. If you use our Site to link to a third-party site, you understand and agree that you may not make any claim against us for any damages or losses resulting from linking to and/or using said site.

10. Termination. You may terminate this Agreement by closing your Virtual Piggy Account at any time. You may also close any single Child Account Profile without terminating your Parent Account, at any time upon notice to us, and your Parent Account will remain active. Upon closure of an Account, any pending transactions associated with that Account will be cancelled. We may terminate this Agreement and close your Virtual Piggy Parent Account or close or suspend any Child Account Profile for any reason at any time upon notice to you. If a Parent Account is terminated, any Child Account Profiles associated with that account will terminate concurrently and automatically. Without limiting the foregoing, we may suspend the Service and access to your Account if (a) you have violated the terms of this Agreement, (b) you pose an unacceptable fraud risk to us, or (c) you provide false, incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information (including without limitation any registration information) or otherwise engage in fraudulent or illegal conduct. We will not be liable to you for compensation, reimbursement, or damages on account of expenditures or commitments in connection with your use of the Service, or for any termination or suspension of the Service. Any termination of this Agreement does not relieve you of any obligations to pay any fees or costs accrued prior to the termination and any other amounts owed by you to us as provided in this Agreement. In addition to any provision that is reasonably necessary to accomplish or enforce the purpose of this Agreement, the following sections of this Agreement survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms upon the termination of this Agreement: 7, 10 through 16.
