Terms & Conditions
1) Who we are & what these terms cover
HALVAR LLC (“HALVAR,” “we,” “us”) builds a screenless, voice-first device and related software that provide simple access to learning, therapy tools, books, music, and news. These Terms govern your use of: the HALVAR device, HALVAR Pro (org dashboard), HALVAR Mobile (optional app), the Cloud Marketplace, and our websites (including halvarai.com).
By using any HALVAR product, you agree to these Terms.
2) Pre-release notice
Some features are in development. Specs, pricing, and availability may change before general release. Crowdfunding pre-orders (e.g., Kickstarter) are governed by that platform’s terms; direct pre-orders through HALVAR will include additional, product-specific terms at checkout.
3) What HALVAR does (and doesn’t)
HALVAR gives voice access to information and tools, including therapy-adjacent CBT/DBT/ACT and somatic techniques, configured by you or your organization. HALVAR does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care; it is a wellness/access platform, not a medical device. Organizations can set topic steer-aways, guardrails, and escalation pathways in HALVAR Pro.
4) Eligibility & accounts
You must be at least 13 to use HALVAR. If you are under 18, use requires a parent/guardian or an organization that has proper consent. Organizations are responsible for their end users and compliance in their settings.
5) Organizational use (HALVAR Pro)
If your HALVAR is provided by an organization (school, clinic, library, recovery center, civic program), that organization controls the configuration and receives de-identified usage insights. Admins must use HALVAR Pro only for legitimate program purposes and must not attempt to re-identify data.
6) Connectivity, apps, and subscriptions
HALVAR works out of the box without an app. HALVAR Mobile (optional) enables remote management; Mobile Premium may include LTE use and additional content. Organizations may purchase HALVAR Pro per-device licenses. Connectivity charges and third-party fees may apply.
7) Cloud Marketplace & third-party services
The Cloud Marketplace offers curated toolkits and partner content (e.g., therapy routines, literacy packs, music). Some items are provided by third parties; their terms and privacy practices apply in addition to ours. We aren’t responsible for third-party content or outages.
8) Acceptable use
You agree not to:
misuse HALVAR (spam, scraping, reverse engineering, bypassing safeguards),
violate law or the rights of others,
attempt to log or export raw audio without consent or features expressly provided,
interfere with the security or operation of our services.
9) Safety & emergencies
HALVAR is not for emergency response. In a crisis, call local emergency services (e.g., 911) or 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US). Organizations should provide clear escalation steps in Pro.
10) Payments, shipping, returns, warranty
Prices and taxes are shown at checkout. Hardware shipping windows will be posted at order; crowdfunding timelines are governed by that platform. Return and warranty terms will be published before consumer shipments begin. For org purchases, the applicable order form or SOW controls.
11) Intellectual property
We own the HALVAR platform, trademarks, and content. You get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use HALVAR as permitted by these Terms. Do not use our marks without permission. HALVAR™ and HALVAR AI™ are trademarks of HALVAR LLC.
12) Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it. In short: biometric sign-in keeps access personal, and analytics are de-identified by default and configurable for organizations. We do not sell personal data.
13) Disclaimers
HALVAR is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness, and non-infringement, to the extent allowed by law. Pre-release features may change or be removed.
14) Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted, HALVAR and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill. Our total liability for claims arising from your use of HALVAR will not exceed the amounts you paid to HALVAR in the 12 months before the claim.
15) Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold HALVAR harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of HALVAR or violation of these Terms.
16) Export & sanctions
You must comply with US and other applicable export and sanctions laws. Do not use or ship HALVAR where prohibited.
17) Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Tennessee, USA, without regard to conflicts principles. Dispute resolution: first contact us; if unresolved, claims will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee (you and HALVAR consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there). Class-action waivers and arbitration may be introduced in a later update; if so, we’ll post the changes.
18) Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We’ll post the new date at the top. Continued use means you accept the changes.
