The terms for using this website.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

First Followers is operated by Devon Allary, 1502 rue Noël-Lareau, Chambly, Quebec J3L 5M7, Canada (referred to here as First Followers, we, us, or our). These terms govern your use of firstfollowers.app, its articles and resources, and the founding-family waitlist (together, the Website). They do not govern a child-facing app, family test build, paid subscription, or released product; separate or updated terms will be provided before any such offering is made available.

By using the Website, and by checking the terms box when joining the waitlist, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not submit the waitlist form.

2. Adult use of the waitlist

You must be at least 18 years old and a parent or legal guardian to join the founding-family waitlist. You must provide accurate information that belongs to you and must not submit a child's name, email address, exact birth date, lesson content, or other personal information about a child through the Website.

3. A product in development

First Followers is in active development. Website descriptions show intended product direction, not a currently available product or a guarantee that any feature will launch on a particular date. Screen-time unlocking is an intended core feature, but compatibility, connection requirements, curriculum availability, reward behaviour, testing eligibility, launch timing, and other details may change as the product is built and reviewed. Do not rely on the Website for uninterrupted, offline, or safety-critical device control.

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee access to a test or released product, create a purchase obligation, establish a price, or require us to launch First Followers. We may choose participants based on product fit, location, device compatibility, research needs, safety, or capacity.

4. Email communications

We send development, research, and early-access emails only after you provide the consent requested in the waitlist form. You may withdraw that consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting us. Administrative replies you request and legally required notices may be treated separately from marketing email.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Website unlawfully or in a way that infringes another person's rights;
• submit false, misleading, malicious, or unauthorized information;
• attempt to bypass security, interfere with operation, introduce harmful code, or access systems or data without permission;
• use automated means to overwhelm, scrape, or copy the Website where doing so creates an unreasonable burden or violates applicable law; or
• misrepresent a relationship with First Followers or reuse our branding in a confusing way.

We may block access or remove a waitlist entry when reasonably necessary to enforce these terms, protect the Website, or comply with law.

6. Website content is informational

Articles, sample lessons, discussion prompts, and product explanations are general information. They are not pastoral, theological, educational, medical, mental-health, legal, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for a parent's, church's, school's, or qualified professional's judgment. References to Christian traditions describe our intended curriculum approach and are not endorsements by a church or denomination unless we expressly say otherwise.

7. Ownership and permitted use

The Website and its original text, branding, design, sample lessons, graphics, and other content are owned by Devon Allary or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. We give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to access and use the Website for personal, non-commercial evaluation. No other rights are granted. Please contact us before reproducing, publishing, selling, adapting, or commercially using Website content.

8. Third-party services and links

The Website relies on third-party infrastructure, including Google Cloud and Firebase, and may link to external resources. Third parties operate under their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for content or services we do not control, and a link does not necessarily mean we endorse it.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Notice explains what the prelaunch Website collects, why we use it, where it is processed, and how to make a privacy request.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Website is provided as-is and as-available. We do not promise that it will always be available, accurate, complete, secure, or error-free, or that a waitlist member will receive access. We disclaim warranties that may legally be disclaimed. Nothing in these terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Devon Allary and First Followers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive loss arising from the Website or reliance on prelaunch descriptions. This section does not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including any mandatory consumer protection rights that apply to you.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory right you have to bring a claim elsewhere, disputes relating to the Website will be brought before the courts located in Quebec. Nothing in this section deprives you of a protection that cannot be waived under the law that applies to you.

13. Changes and general terms

We may update these terms as the Website changes. The current version and effective date will be posted here. If a material change requires renewed agreement, we will ask for it before the change applies. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms and the Privacy Notice are the entire agreement concerning this prelaunch Website and waitlist.
