These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and Chemmo Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Chemmo Holdings," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of The Belly Button mobile application (the "App"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account in The Belly Button. By using the App you represent that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
The App supports three account types:
When you add a recipient by name, phone number, or email address, you represent and warrant that you have the recipient's permission to share their contact information with The Belly Button and to send them notifications. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of recipient information and for any consequences of contacting recipients who did not consent. Recipients may at any time request removal by contacting admin@chemmoholdings.com.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice.
Access for a mother account is unlocked by a one-time, non-recurring purchase of $4.99 USD (or local equivalent), processed through the Apple App Store. The purchase is not a subscription and does not auto-renew. Care provider and recipient accounts are free.
Per Apple's In-App Purchase rules, your purchase is associated with your Apple ID and may be restored on any device signed in to that same Apple ID by tapping "Restore Purchase" in the App. If multiple people share your Apple ID (for example through Family Sharing), the entitlement follows the Apple ID, not any individual person — Chemmo Holdings has no way to bind the entitlement to a specific human. You are responsible for who has access to your Apple ID.
Refunds for App Store purchases are governed by Apple's policies. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not process refunds directly.
Prices may change for future users. Once you have purchased, your access is preserved at the price you paid.
Notifications are delivered via push (Apple Push Notification Service or equivalent), SMS (Twilio), and email (SendGrid). Each of these channels is subject to factors outside our control, including carrier outages, recipient device state, app-level Do Not Disturb settings, spam filters, and network availability. We make a reasonable effort to deliver every notification but do not warrant that any specific notification will be received, received on time, or received at all. You should not rely on the App as your sole means of contacting medical personnel during labor.
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what information we collect, how we use it, and the third-party service providers (Firebase, Twilio, SendGrid, RevenueCat) we work with. Please read it before creating an account.
You may delete your account at any time by following the instructions at chemmoholdings.com/bellybutton/delete-account. Deletion is permanent and removes your profile, notification groups, recipient list, and labor event history within 30 days. Your one-time purchase entitlement is associated with your Apple ID and may be restored on a new account by tapping "Restore Purchase" in the App.
The Belly Button does not provide medical advice. Educational content, default milestone names, and notification copy in the App are general-purpose and are not a substitute for advice from a licensed healthcare provider. Always consult your provider regarding pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care.
The Belly Button is a notification tool, not a medical device, electronic health record, or healthcare delivery system. We are not a HIPAA Covered Entity, we do not enter into Business Associate Agreements, and we do not act as a Business Associate to any care provider you list in the App. Any provider you invite to the App receives only the text messages you write and send — there is no transmission of protected health information through any clinical interface. Providers using The Belly Button should not treat its messages as part of a HIPAA-regulated workflow.
Messages typed by you are sent to your recipients as-is. We do not verify the medical accuracy of anything you write, and we do not interpret your messages for any clinical purpose.
The App, its design, code, trademarks ("The Belly Button," "Chemmo Holdings," the belly-button logo), and all related materials are the property of Chemmo Holdings, LLC or its licensors and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.
The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that notifications will be delivered on time or at all.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chemmo Holdings, LLC and its officers, members, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or use, arising out of or in connection with the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $50 USD, whichever is greater.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Chemmo Holdings, LLC and its officers, members, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of the App, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any rights of a third party (including a recipient you added without consent), or (d) any content you submit through the App.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms or your use of the App will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If you downloaded the App from Apple's App Store, the following additional terms apply, and govern in case of conflict with the rest of these Terms:
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. If we make material changes we will give reasonable notice (for example, an in-app notice or an email to the address on file). Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
