Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

Program name: The Check In

Description: The Check In is a personal daily check-in tool. When the app owner presses the check-in button, each listed contact receives one automated SMS notification confirming the owner is okay.

Not a Medical or Emergency Service

The Check In is a personal notification and communication tool only. It is not a medical device, medical service, emergency response service, hospital, or healthcare provider, and it does not monitor, diagnose, treat, or provide medical or emergency assistance of any kind. The Check In is not a substitute for calling 911 or your local emergency services. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical or safety emergency, contact emergency services directly — do not rely on The Check In for emergency response.

No Guarantee of Delivery or Uptime

We do not guarantee that check-in confirmations or missed check-in alerts (including alerts triggered after the 30-hour threshold) will be sent, received, or delivered on time. Delivery may be delayed or fail due to factors outside our control, including but not limited to carrier delays, network or service outages, device or account issues, or technical failures.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Check In, its owner, and operator shall not be liable for any injury, loss, damage, or harm — direct or indirect — arising from a missed, delayed, or failed check-in notification or alert, service downtime or outages, account failures, or any reliance on the service in an emergency or safety situation. Use of The Check In is at your own risk.

User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for choosing appropriate emergency contacts, confirming they are willing and able to respond, and taking direct action — including contacting emergency services — when needed.

Age Requirement

The Check In is intended for users 18 years of age or older. By using this service, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Message frequency

Up to 3 messages per day, per contact.

Message and data rates

Message and data rates may apply.

Support

For help or questions, contact the app owner directly.

Opt-out

Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving check-in messages. Reply HELP for assistance.

Refunds

The Check In is billed monthly at $2.99/month. Payments are non-refundable, including in the event of a missed or delayed check-in due to service outages, carrier delays, or technical issues. We work to keep the service reliable, but given the low cost of the subscription, we do not offer partial or full refunds for outages or downtime. You may cancel your subscription at any time to stop future billing.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Check In, its owner, and operator from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your misuse of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your submission of false or unauthorized contact information.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from use of The Check In shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Indiana.

Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, subscribing, or using The Check In, you affirmatively agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
