Terms of Use

Accepting these terms

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Skyline Innovation Inc., a Canadian company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They apply when you use the Speech Check website, apps, or any related service we provide.

By creating an account, joining the pilot, or otherwise using Speech Check, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with any part of them, please don't use the service.

Who can use Speech Check

Speech Check is intended for:

• Adults age 18 or older who live in Canada
• People living with Parkinson's disease, including young-onset Parkinson's
• Care partners and family members using Speech Check alongside a member
• Licensed speech-language pathologists practising in Canada, where using the clinician features

You don't need a Parkinson's diagnosis to browse this website or review our materials — but active use of Speech Check (practice sessions, pilot participation) is aimed at the audiences above.

Medical scope and limitations

Specifically:

• Metrics shown in Speech Check (loudness, articulation, tempo, pitch variance) are for your own reference, compared to your own recent baseline. They are not diagnostic measures.
• "Worth a look" flags and trend indicators are informational prompts, not clinical verdicts.
• The clinician dashboard provides speech-language pathologists with visibility into a patient's home practice. It is not a substitute for clinical assessment, and clinicians remain responsible for their own clinical judgment.
• Speech Check does not provide medical advice, and nothing you read in the app or on this website should be understood as such.

Your account

When you create a Speech Check account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information about yourself
• Keep your login credentials confidential
• Notify us promptly if you believe someone else has accessed your account
• Use Speech Check only for yourself — accounts are not transferable

You're responsible for activity that happens under your account, except where that activity is caused by our systems or our error.

The pilot specifically

During the pilot:

• Access is free. No credit card is required, and you won't be charged during the pilot period.
• We'll ask for honest feedback. Participation in check-in calls is optional but valuable.
• The product is actively evolving. Features may change, improve, or sometimes break — we'll work to fix issues as quickly as we can.
• When the pilot ends, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice before access terms change.

Acceptable use

When using Speech Check, please don't:

• Use the service to harm yourself or others
• Attempt to access accounts or data that aren't yours
• Try to break, probe, or disable the service or its security
• Use the service to transmit malware, spam, or illegal content
• Scrape, resell, or redistribute content from Speech Check without our written permission
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity

We may suspend or close accounts that violate these rules, usually after a warning where reasonable.

Your content and our rights

Content you create

Voice recordings, feedback, and other content you create using Speech Check belong to you. By using the service, you grant Skyline a limited licence to store, process, and display this content as needed to provide Speech Check to you — including showing you your own trends, sharing your practice with clinicians you invite, and improving the product where you've consented to that.

Our content

The Speech Check name, logo, app, website, and materials are owned by Skyline Innovation Inc. You may view and use them for personal, non-commercial use while using the service. Please don't copy or reuse our materials without permission.

Changes to the service

Speech Check is an evolving product. We may add, change, or remove features from time to time — especially during the pilot. We'll do our best to notify you ahead of meaningful changes that affect how you use the service.

Ending your use

You can delete your account at any time through your settings, or by emailing us. When you do:

• Your access to Speech Check ends immediately.
• Your personal information is removed from our active systems per the retention windows described in the privacy policy.
• If you've invited a clinician into your account, they lose access at the same time.

We may end your access if you violate these terms, if required by law, or if we stop offering Speech Check altogether. Where possible we'll give you notice and time to export your practice data before closing your account.

Disclaimers

Speech Check is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law permits, we don't make warranties — express or implied — that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, fit for a particular purpose, or that any particular result will be achieved.

This does not override the medical-scope limitations described in section 3. Speech Check does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition.

Liability

To the extent the law permits, Skyline's total liability to you for any claim arising out of your use of Speech Check is limited to the amount you've paid us for the service during the twelve months preceding the claim — or, if you haven't paid us (as during the pilot), to one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100).

We aren't liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including lost profits or lost data, except where the law requires otherwise.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be brought before the courts of British Columbia.
