Terms of Use & Research Agreement

A few simple rules for a thoughtful playground.

Welcome to aitoyplayground.

Our website exists to help families discover, explore, and enjoy a new generation of AI Toys. By using our website, purchasing our products, submitting content, or participating in a research activity, you agree to use our services responsibly and respect the rights of other people.

These terms explain the basic rules for using aitoyplayground and, where applicable, participating in our research, testing, feedback, or product-development programs.


1. USING THE PLAYGROUND

You may use our website for lawful personal and household purposes.

You agree not to:

  • Use the website for unlawful or fraudulent activities
  • Attempt to interfere with the operation or security of the website
  • Copy, reproduce, modify, or distribute website content without permission
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data
  • Misrepresent your identity or your relationship with another person or organization
  • Use our content, trademarks, or materials to imply an affiliation that does not exist

We may update, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website when reasonably necessary to operate or improve our services.


2. PRODUCTS, ORDERS & AVAILABILITY

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions, images, pricing, and availability.

However, product colors may vary depending on your display, and information may change as products are updated.

An order is not necessarily accepted until we have confirmed the order and payment.

We may cancel or limit an order where necessary because of inventory availability, pricing errors, suspected fraud, or other legitimate operational reasons.

Your purchase is also subject to our applicable Shipping, Return, Refund, and Warranty policies.


3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The aitoyplayground name, logo, visual identity, website design, original graphics, written content, product imagery, videos, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to us unless otherwise stated.

You may view and use website content for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not reproduce, modify, republish, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit our materials without prior written permission.


4. YOUR CONTENT

We love seeing what families create.

If you voluntarily submit photos, videos, reviews, feedback, comments, ideas, or other material to us, you should only submit content that you have the right to share.

Please do not submit content containing another person's private information or images without the appropriate permission.

For specific research programs, product tests, or content collaborations, we may provide additional terms describing how submitted content may be used.


5. REVIEWS & FEEDBACK

We welcome honest feedback.

Reviews and feedback should reflect a genuine experience and should not contain unlawful, misleading, abusive, or irrelevant material.

We may moderate, remove, or decline to publish submissions that violate our guidelines or applicable law.

Submitting feedback does not transfer ownership of your original creative work to us unless you separately agree to terms that expressly provide otherwise.


6. RESEARCH & PRODUCT TESTING

Help us build better play.

aitoyplayground may conduct research, product testing, interviews, surveys, usability studies, or family feedback programs to better understand how children and families interact with our products.

Participation is generally voluntary.

Before participating in a specific research activity, we may provide additional information about:

  • The purpose of the activity
  • What participation involves
  • What information will be collected
  • Whether audio, video, photographs, or other recordings will be used
  • How submitted information may be used
  • Whether compensation, incentives, samples, or other benefits are provided
  • How participation may be ended

Participation in one research activity does not automatically enroll you in another.


7. RESEARCH PARTICIPATION

Where a separate research consent or participation form is provided, that document may contain terms specific to the individual study.

Those study-specific terms may govern matters such as:

Participation
Who may participate and what activities are involved.

Recording
Whether interviews, photographs, audio, video, or screen recordings are collected.

Feedback
How comments, observations, suggestions, or test results may be analyzed.

Compensation
Any payment, product, gift, discount, or other incentive offered for participation.

Withdrawal
How and when a participant may stop participating, subject to the terms of the particular study.

Confidentiality
Whether research information or study materials must remain confidential.

For research involving children, additional consent and privacy requirements may apply. The specific process will depend on the nature of the study and applicable law.


8. CHILDREN & PARENTAL PARTICIPATION

Our products are designed for children and families, but online accounts, purchases, research participation, and submissions should be managed according to applicable age and parental-consent requirements.

Where a research activity involves children, we may require a parent or legal guardian to provide consent and participate in the process.

We do not rely on these general Terms of Use as a substitute for any legally required consent process.


9. RESEARCH MATERIALS & CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Some research programs may provide participants with unreleased products, prototypes, product concepts, specifications, or other confidential information.

If we identify materials as confidential or provide a separate confidentiality agreement, participants agree not to disclose or distribute those materials except as expressly permitted.

This may include:

  • Unreleased products
  • Prototype designs
  • Product specifications
  • Internal testing materials
  • Launch information
  • Private research materials

10. RESEARCH FEEDBACK

When you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, or product feedback, you agree that we may use that feedback to improve, develop, test, or market our products and services, subject to applicable law and any separate agreement governing the research activity.

We do not promise that every suggestion will be adopted or that participants will receive ownership or compensation merely because an idea is submitted, unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.


11. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our website may link to or rely on third-party services, such as payment providers, shipping services, analytics providers, social platforms, or other technology services.

Those services may have their own terms and privacy practices.

Your use of third-party services may therefore be subject to their respective terms.


12. DISCLAIMERS

We make reasonable efforts to keep our website and information accurate and useful.

However, the website and its content are provided subject to applicable law without guarantees that every feature, page, product listing, or service will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or available.

Nothing on this website is intended to replace professional medical, legal, educational, or other specialized advice.


13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the extent permitted by applicable law, aitoyplayground and its affiliates, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the website or services.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be limited or excluded.


14. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time as our website, products, research programs, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date where appropriate.

Your continued use of the website after an updated version becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
