The Terms of Service govern the following:
You understand and accept that these Terms of Service apply only to you and us, and not to any third-party sites such as Apple, Google, or Amazon (collectively, the “Mobile Operators”).

The Services, as well as all material contained in or made available through the Services (the “Content”), including text, graphics, logos, photographs, audio clips, stories, meditations, music, and digital downloads (the “Updates”), are governed by these Terms of Service (as defined below). For the sake of clarity, the term “Services” refers to both the Content and the Services.
Age Limits
Our apps are rigorously tested for child-safe contents. Anyone over the age of four is welcome to use our services. Our services provide music and audio clips suitable for people of all ages. Our Services are designed to enable parents to play music or audio clips and set a timer for when the music or sounds can be played. Parents are advised to make use of these features to prevent their children from accessing the Services unwittingly.
