⚠ Draft for attorney review. These Terms were prepared as a thorough starting point and must be reviewed and finalized by a licensed Washington attorney before they are relied upon. They are not legal advice. Several provisions (arbitration, class-action waiver, limitations period, and use restrictions) are marked below where a court's enforcement is uncertain.

Contents 1. Acceptance & the Agreement 2. License, Accounts & Permitted Use 3. Acceptable Use 4. Intellectual Property 5. Customer Data & PHI 6. Subscriptions & Billing 7. Warranties & Disclaimers 8. Limitation of Liability 9. Indemnification 10. Term, Suspension & Termination 11. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration 12. General

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between MBN Care Solutions, LLC ("MBN," "we," "us," or "our") and the adult family home or other entity that registers for or uses the MBN Care App platform (the "Customer," "you," or "your"). By creating an account, accepting these Terms, or using the platform (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you accept on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.

1.Acceptance & the Agreement

Your access to the Service is governed by these Terms together with our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and — where the Service processes protected health information — our Business Associate Agreement (collectively, the "Agreement"). Where these Terms and the Business Associate Agreement conflict as to protected health information, the Business Associate Agreement controls.

We may update the Agreement. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice by email or in-app, and we will update the version and effective date. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance; if you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may terminate under Section 10.

2.License, Accounts & Permitted Use

Subject to the Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Service during your subscription term, solely for operating your licensed adult family home. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Accounts & security

  • One account per home. Accounts are provisioned per licensed home and may not be resold, sublicensed, white-labeled, or shared across unrelated facilities.
  • Permitted users only. Only individuals you authorize may access your account. You may not share login credentials. Each user must have their own credentials.
  • Accurate information. You must provide accurate, current registration information, including your home's name and license number, and keep it updated.
  • Responsibility. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for safeguarding credentials. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
  • No automated abuse. You may not use bots, scrapers, crawlers, or automated means to access the Service, extract data at scale, or circumvent access controls.
  • No competitive benchmarking. You may not use the Service to build, benchmark, or assist a competing product or service.

3.Acceptable Use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated here. Among other things, you agree not to: use the Service for any unlawful purpose; upload viruses, malware, or harmful code; attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other homes' data; share credentials; use the Service for anything other than operating a licensed adult family home; resell, sublicense, or white-label the Service; remove copyright or confidentiality notices or watermarks from exported content; or systematically download or copy Service content. We may suspend access immediately for serious violations (Section 10).

4.Intellectual Property

Our ownership

As between the parties, MBN owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, source and object code, algorithms, databases, data models, compliance-scoring and documentation-mapping methods, user interfaces, designs, documentation, and all related intellectual property. You receive only the limited license in Section 2 and acquire no ownership of the Service.

Restrictions

  • You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code or underlying structures, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
  • You may not copy, imitate, or reproduce the Service's user-interface designs, layouts, or visual elements, or create derivative works based on the Service.
  • You may not remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, confidentiality, or watermark notice, including on exported or printed documents.

Trade dress & trademarks

MBN considers the distinctive, non-functional visual elements of the Service — including the arrangement and styling of the compliance-score display and inspection-mode interface — to be protectable trade dress under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1125), and its name and logo to be trademarks. You agree not to imitate these elements or use our marks without permission.

⚠ Enforceability flag: Trade-dress protection for software UI is a novel and uncertain claim (the functionality doctrine is a significant obstacle). MBN's primary protections are copyright and, where applicable, design/utility patents. This clause should be reviewed by counsel and not over-relied upon.

Trade secrets & confidentiality

Non-public features, algorithms, scoring logic, and workflows of the Service are MBN trade secrets and confidential information. You will not disclose them or use them except to use the Service.

Restrictive covenants

To protect our confidential information and goodwill, during your use of the Service and for a reasonable period afterward, you agree not to:

  • use MBN's confidential information or trade secrets to design, develop, or assist a product that competes with the Service (for up to two (2) years after your last use);
  • solicit for employment any MBN employee or contractor you came to know through the Service (for one (1) year) — this is a non-solicitation, not a bar on hiring persons who apply independently; or
  • solicit other MBN customers you learned of through the Service to switch to a competitor.
⚠ Enforceability flag: Washington's non-compete statute (RCW 49.62) governs employees, not customer agreements; these covenants are governed by common-law reasonableness. As written, the anti-competing-product covenant is aggressive and may be narrowed or struck by a court; the no-solicitation covenants are more defensible if limited as above. Counsel should tailor scope and duration.

Copyright & DMCA

The Service and its content are protected by copyright. Our copyright notice must remain on exported documents. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, contact [email protected]; we will respond to properly formatted notices consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and may remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers.

5.Customer Data & PHI

You retain ownership of the data you enter, including resident records and protected health information ("Customer Data"). You grant MBN a limited license to host, process, and transmit Customer Data solely to provide, secure, and support the Service, and as permitted by the Business Associate Agreement. We do not sell Customer Data and do not use it for advertising. Our handling of protected health information is governed by the Business Associate Agreement and applicable law.

You represent that you have the authority and any necessary consents to enter Customer Data into the Service.

6.Subscriptions & Billing

  • Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive terms unless cancelled before the renewal date. We will disclose renewal terms at signup.
  • Refunds. New subscriptions may be refunded within 30 days under our money-back guarantee. After that window, fees are non-refundable except that annual plans may be refunded on a prorated basis at our discretion.
  • Price changes. We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice, effective at your next renewal; changes do not affect a term you have already paid for.
  • Non-payment. If payment fails, we may suspend access and, after 30 days of non-payment, terminate the account. A reactivation fee may apply to accounts terminated for non-payment.
  • Plan changes. Downgrades take effect at the next billing period. Annual pricing is locked for the 12-month term.
  • Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for applicable taxes other than taxes on our income.

7.Warranties & Disclaimers

We warrant that the Service will materially conform to its documentation; your exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty is our commercially reasonable effort to correct the non-conformity or, if we cannot, a refund of prepaid fees for the affected period.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MBN DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT USING THE SERVICE WILL RESULT IN PASSING ANY INSPECTION, SURVEY, OR AUDIT, OR IN ANY PARTICULAR REGULATORY OUTCOME. COMPLIANCE DEPENDS ON YOUR OWN OPERATIONS AND JUDGMENT.

8.Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MBN WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. MBN'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID TO MBN IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

We are not liable for: third-party actions or content; force-majeure events (including natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, utility or internet outages); regulatory actions taken against you by DSHS, HHS, or any agency; or your failure to use the Service correctly. Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

⚠ Review flag: A 3-month cap is aggressive; many enterprise customers and some courts expect a 12-month cap and carve-outs (for confidentiality/data-breach and willful misconduct). This interacts with the indemnity in the Business Associate Agreement; counsel should reconcile the two.

9.Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify MBN and its officers, employees, and agents against third-party claims, and resulting losses, arising from: (a) your Customer Data or its entry into the Service; (b) your or your users' misuse of the Service or violation of the Agreement; and (c) regulatory actions arising from your facility's operations. MBN will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims that the Service, as provided, infringes a U.S. intellectual-property right, and may modify the Service, procure a license, or refund prepaid fees to resolve such a claim.

10.Term, Suspension & Termination

  • We may suspend or terminate access immediately for violations of the Agreement, security threats, or non-payment.
  • We may terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of your current billing period.
  • On termination, you will have 30 days to export your Customer Data, after which we may delete it, subject to the return-or-destruction terms of the Business Associate Agreement and applicable retention law.
  • We are not liable for losses resulting from suspension or termination in accordance with the Agreement.
  • Survival. Sections 4 (IP), 5 (Data), 7–9 (disclaimers, liability, indemnity), 11 (disputes), and 12 (general), and any accrued payment obligations, survive termination.

11.Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Please read this section carefully — it affects how disputes are resolved.

Informal resolution

Before starting arbitration, a party must give the other 30 days' written notice of the dispute and negotiate in good faith to resolve it.

Binding arbitration

Except for claims of intellectual-property infringement or misappropriation (which may be brought in court), any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in King County, Washington. The arbitration will be mutual, before a neutral arbitrator, and will preserve each party's statutory remedies.

Class-action waiver

Disputes will be conducted only on an individual basis. Class, collective, and representative actions are waived.

⚠ Review flag: Class-action waivers and B2B arbitration are generally enforceable (AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion; Epic Systems v. Lewis), but a small operator may argue it is not a "sophisticated party." Keep the clause mutual and non–cost-shifting to reduce unconscionability risk.

30-day opt-out

You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, home, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of the Agreement.

Governing law, venue & time limit

The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If arbitration is held unenforceable, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts in King County, Washington. Any claim must be brought within two (2) years after the claim accrues. The prevailing party in any dispute may recover reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law.

⚠ Review flag: Washington courts scrutinize shortened limitations periods; a one-year period was struck in Tadych v. Noble Ridge (2022). Two years is used here as the safer figure and still requires counsel's confirmation.

12.General

  • Entire agreement. The Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes prior agreements on its subject matter.
  • Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Assignment. You may not assign the Agreement without our consent; we may assign it to an affiliate or successor.
  • Notices. We may send notices to your registered email; these are deemed received when sent.
  • Relationship. The parties are independent contractors; the Agreement creates no partnership, employment, or agency relationship.
  • Export & government use. You will comply with U.S. export laws. Additional terms may apply to government entities.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
