Terms of Service
Effective as of July 24, 2026
Acceptance of the Terms of Service
When we say "Services," we're talking about our digital products and services—websites, mobile apps, all of it. This is a legal agreement between you (or "users") and Modern Ridge (that's "Company," "we," or "us"). These terms govern how you access and use everything we offer. BY USING AND ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU AND ON BEHALF OF YOUR CHILDREN, AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU DON'T AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU SHOULDN'T USE THE SERVICES.
Modifications to the Terms of Service and to the Services
We can update these terms whenever we want. Changes take effect the moment we post them. It's on you to check back periodically and stay current with what's changed. If you keep using the Services, you're accepting any updates we make. The Services themselves—and everything on them—can change at any time too. We're not liable if the Services become restricted or unavailable for whatever reason.
Use of the Services
Your information matters to us, which is why we use security measures to protect it from loss and unauthorized access. That said, security is a two-way street. You're responsible for your own access to the Services. Make sure anyone accessing them through your connection knows and follows these terms. When you use the Services, everything you provide needs to be correct, current, and complete. If something changes, let us know right away using the contact info at the bottom. Here's the thing about the internet: it's not completely secure. We do our best to protect your information, but we can't guarantee it. Any transmission happens at your own risk. We're not responsible if someone manages to get around our privacy settings or security measures. Don't try to break into the Services or get around their security. This includes accessing content not meant for you, breaching authentication, disrupting service for others, reproducing packet headers, messing with monitoring, using bots or spiders to access anything, uploading viruses or malicious code, launching denial-of-service attacks, or interfering with how the Services work.
Account Set-up and Subscription Services
Some parts of the Services—like the membership options on modernridge.com—require you to create an account with a username and password. You need to be at least 18 to set one up. You can also log in using your Apple ID or Google account. Don't share your login details. Whatever happens through your account is on you. We can terminate your membership or remove your account whenever we want, for any reason. To use the membership features, you'll need to buy a subscription. You can do this on our website, through the Apple App Store, or Google Play Store. A subscription works across multiple devices. You don't strictly need one to access the membership features, but some content and features are only available to paid subscribers. When you buy a subscription, you're paying a fee based on how long you want it for—one month, six months, or a year. We can change the subscription fee anytime by giving you written notice, and the new price kicks in at the end of your current period. Your subscription automatically renews when it expires unless you cancel it beforehand. It renews for the same length as your previous period—so a yearly subscription renews yearly, a monthly one renews monthly. You'll pay the subscription fee using whatever payment method the processor accepts, like a credit card. By purchasing, you authorize automatic charging at the start of each period. No payment means no access. You can cancel anytime and keep access until your current period ends. If you subscribed through modernridge.com, cancel in the "My Account" section. If you went through the app stores, use their subscription management tools. After cancellation, no more charges.
Intellectual Property Rights and Ownership
Everything on the Services—all content, features, functionality, information, software, text, graphics, photos, video, audio, design, selections, and arrangements—belongs to us and is protected by intellectual property law, including copyright, trademark, and moral rights. Trademarks, logos, product and service names, designs, images, and slogans you see on the Services or in our content are ours or someone else's. You can't use them without written permission from whoever owns them. Unauthorized use is infringement and might violate federal law, which could get you sued. You can only use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. Don't remove or change copyright, trademark, or other legal notices. You can't modify, copy, distribute, create derivative works, publicly display, perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material unless we've given you express written permission or the law allows it. We do permit a few things, where applicable: Your browser can temporarily cache copies of what you're viewing. You can download and print a reasonable number of copies of our content (including stuff from "Free Resources") for personal, non-commercial use only, as long as you keep the proprietary notices intact and we agree it's reasonable. If we've linked social media platforms to certain content, you can do whatever those platforms specifically allow. If you print, copy, or download anything in violation of these terms, your right to use the Services stops immediately, and you have to return or destroy the copies we ask you to. You don't own the Services or any of its content. All rights not expressly granted belong to us. Any use not permitted here is a breach and might infringe copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property laws, potentially opening you to legal action.
User Submissions and Conditions of Use
We don't ask for confidential or proprietary information through the Services or email. But if you do submit materials, content, information, or ideas to us ("User Submissions"), you're saying that (i) it's all originally yours, no one else has rights to it, and you've waived any moral rights, and (ii) you're giving us a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, fully transferable license in all current and future media to reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, perform, display, distribute, sublicense, create derivative works, sell, and use the submissions however we want, for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without compensation or credit to you. We're not responsible for maintaining submissions and can delete them anytime. You warrant that your use of the Services and any submissions won't: Violate any applicable law. Break the terms of any third-party website linked to the Services, including social media sites. Contain material that's exploitative, obscene, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, pornographic, violent, inflammatory, or discriminatory based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, age, or other protected grounds, or be otherwise objectionable by our judgment. Involve stalking, exploiting, or harming anyone (including minors) by exposing them to inappropriate content or asking for personal information in ways that violate law or regulations. Include false, inaccurate, or misleading information. Suggest they come from or are endorsed by us or someone else when they're not.
Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination
We have the right to take action without notice: Do whatever we deem necessary with any submission, including removing it for violating these conditions or terms. Take legal action, including law enforcement referral or notifying the harmed party of illegal use. We can cooperate fully with law enforcement or court orders requesting identity or information about anyone posting on the Services. Terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Services for any reason or no reason, including any breach of these terms. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, SUPPLIERS, AND SUCCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY THE "COMPANY PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY COMPANY AND ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES RELATING TO ANY INVESTIGATIONS BY COMPANY OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
No Reliance
The content on the Services is for general information only. It's not advice you should rely on. You need to get specific or professional guidance before making any decisions based on what's here. We try to keep the content current, but we don't promise it's accurate, complete, or up to date. Using the Services is at your own risk. Neither we nor the Company Parties are responsible or liable for how you use them.
Privacy
By using our Services and submitting information, you're consenting to collection, use, reproduction, hosting, transmission, and disclosure in line with our Privacy Policy. Don't use the Services if you don't agree with it.
Third-Party Websites
The Services might link to other sites. We don't make claims about them. If you choose to visit, you're doing so at your own risk. We don't control their content and aren't responsible for them or any damage from using them. You're bound by their terms. You can link to us, provided you do it fairly and legally without damaging our reputation or exploiting it. Don't suggest any association, approval, or endorsement we haven't given. Don't frame our Services on another site. We can withdraw linking permission without warning. You agree to stop any unauthorized framing or linking immediately if we ask.
Online Purchases
Orders, subscriptions, purchases, and transactions on modernridge.com are processed by Shopify and Stripe, who have their own terms and privacy policies we don't control. We recommend reading their policies before you buy anything.
Copyright Complaints
We take copyright infringement seriously and have procedures for handling complaints. We've designated an agent to receive notices. We'll respond to notices that comply with the law. If you believe your copyright has been infringed, send written notice to the contact info at the bottom of these terms. For us to process your claim, your notice must include: (1) an electronic or physical signature from someone authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; (2) a description of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed; (3) the location on our website where you found the infringing material; (4) your email, mailing address, or phone number; (5) a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized; and (6) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you own the copyright or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf. If you think a copyright notice was filed against you incorrectly, you can submit a counter-notice to the same contact info. Your counter-notice must include: (1) your signature; (2) identification of the removed material; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that removal was a mistake or misidentification; and (4) your full name, email, mailing address, and consent to jurisdiction in either the Federal District court in your judicial district (if you're in the US) or in Ontario (if you're outside the US), plus acceptance of service from the person who filed the complaint.
