Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the TalkPebble website at https://talkpebble.com and related online materials we make available. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. About TalkPebble

TalkPebble: Speech & Language (TalkPebble) offers educational information for parents and caregivers about early speech, language, and communication, along with parent-guided activity ideas and information about a mobile app that is under development. The website is not the TalkPebble mobile application itself.

3. Educational Purpose

Content on this website is general and educational. It is intended to help parents understand common topics and try simple everyday interaction ideas. It is not individualized clinical advice.

4. Not Medical Advice

Nothing on TalkPebble is medical advice, clinical guidance, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare or allied-health professional who knows your child.

5. No Diagnosis or Treatment

TalkPebble does not:

• Diagnose speech or language disorders or any other condition
• Provide medical diagnosis
• Provide therapy, treatment plans, or clinical screening results
• Guarantee any developmental outcome
• Provide emergency services

Features described on the site (such as a Communication Check or progress notes) are educational and reflective tools for parents. They are not assessments, diagnoses, or clinical records.

6. Professional Support

If you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, hearing, or development, please speak with a qualified professional such as your child’s doctor or a speech-language pathologist. You do not need to use TalkPebble before seeking professional support. TalkPebble does not replace a speech-language pathologist or physician.

• Using the site for personal, non-commercial informational purposes unless we agree otherwise

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TalkPebble and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the site or reliance on its content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the website if you violate these Terms or if we need to protect the site, our users, or our operations. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which TalkPebble’s operating entity is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The specific legal entity, registered address, and governing jurisdiction for TalkPebble have not yet been finalized in these draft Terms and should be completed following professional legal review before relying on this section in production.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
