Terms & Conditions

Stages of Labor ("the service", "we", "us") is operated by Stages of Labor. You can reach us at support@stagesoflabor.com.

By creating an account, purchasing access, or continuing to use the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the service. If you are using the service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it; otherwise, you confirm you are of legal age to enter into this agreement.

Stages of Labor is a private logging and retrieval tool for labor. It records what you enter — contraction times, timeline events, dilation values told to you by your care provider, your birth plan, and your essential details — and presents it back to you and to people you choose to share a link with.

Stages of Labor is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. It never diagnoses, never instructs, and never predicts. It carries only the information you and your provider put into it. The absence of an alert does not mean everything is fine — contact your provider whenever you want to. You are responsible for all clinical decisions and for contacting your care provider.

One account may be shared between both parents. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not:

• use the service unlawfully, or for fraud, spam, or harassment;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights;
• interfere with the security or integrity of the service — including malware, probing, penetration testing without permission, scraping, or circumventing technical limits;
• reverse engineer, resell, redistribute, or sublicense the service;
• upload another person's health information without their consent.

Everything you enter remains yours. You grant us a limited licence to host, store, and process that content solely to provide the service to you — including rendering the read-only status pages for share links you create. We do not sell your content and we do not use it for advertising.

Stages of Labor retains all ownership of the service and its intellectual property, including the software, design, documentation, and branding. Nothing in these terms transfers those rights to you.

We work to keep the service available and dependable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free performance. Access may be interrupted by maintenance, faults, or events outside our reasonable control. Keep a non-digital backup of anything critical.

The app is currently provided free of charge. There is no purchase, no subscription and no recurring charge, and we do not collect payment or card details. If we ever introduce paid access, we will publish the terms before it applies to you.

We may suspend or terminate access for material breach of these terms, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. You may stop using the service at any time and ask us to delete your account and data. When access ends, you may request an export of your record for a reasonable period before deletion.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We exclude liability for indirect, consequential, or special damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill. Our aggregate liability is capped at the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your unlawful use of the service, or your breach of these terms.

You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger or acquisition. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. These terms are governed by the laws of the seller's place of establishment, and disputes are subject to the courts of that jurisdiction.

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above. Questions: support@stagesoflabor.com.
