Terms of Use — TaharaSmart

1. Operator and applicable documents

1.1. The TaharaSmart website and its associated online system at taharasmart.com are operated by יהלום זקס (“operator”, “we” or “TaharaSmart”).

1.2. Contact us at contact@taharasmart.com, or for privacy matters at contact@taharasmart.com. Contact details also appear on the Contact page.

1.3. These terms govern use of the website, personal account, calendar, calculations, reminders and associated services (“service”). The Cancellation and Refund Policy, notices concerning calculations and halachic use, and referral programme terms when participating supplement these terms. The Privacy Policy explains data processing; it does not authorise unlawful processing or replace separate consent where required.

1.4. Non-waivable statutory rights prevail over every provision in these documents. Expressly presented and approved plan or benefit terms apply to that plan or benefit without diminishing a right granted to the user. In any conflict concerning cancellation or refunds, the provision granting the mandatory statutory right applies.

1.5. Masculine wording is used for convenience only and refers to all genders. Section headings facilitate reading.

2. Joining, age and consent

2.1. The service is intended for people aged 18 or older with capacity to contract. Do not impersonate someone or provide another person's personal data without appropriate authority and consent. Each account is for one personal calendar; it does not independently authorise access by a spouse or anyone else.

2.2. Accounts are opened through Google. Basic identification details needed to open the account are processed under the privacy notice shown before sign-in. Before calendar activation, the user will be asked to confirm the contractual terms and understanding of the service's limitations, and separately give the required consent to processing specially sensitive data.

2.3. Refusal to consent to processing objectively necessary to operate the calendar will prevent the dependent function from operating. Consent to advertising, SMS reminders or other optional processing is not a condition of opening an account or purchasing a subscription.

2.4. Accepting the terms does not waive consumer rights, privacy rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded. We will retain proportionate evidence of the consent wording, version, time and account giving it. The documents remain accessible after acceptance.

3. Nature and scope of the service

3.1. TaharaSmart is a digital tool for managing a family Taharah calendar. It enables event entry, history display, date calculation from supported information and settings, adjustment of Minhag and location, and reminders through selected channels.

3.2. Calculations use a rules-based software engine. A calculated result is not an event that occurred or external confirmation that information is accurate or a halachic condition fulfilled. Infrastructure for selecting Minhagim does not claim support for all Minhagim, circumstances or approaches.

3.3. The binding service scope is that presented at contracting, together with subsequent improvements provided. This does not permit materially reducing a purchased service without preserving users' rights. Public demonstrations use illustrative data and are not a personal calendar or instructions for practice.

4. Assistance tool only, verification and halachic guidance

4.1. The calendar, dates, statuses, calculations and reminders are assistance tools only. They are not a halachic ruling, personal halachic approval or a substitute for learning the rules applicable to the user and consulting a qualified Rav or halachic authority.

4.2. Errors may occur in the service, including software, calculation, time, translation, classification, display or message-delivery errors, even when the user entered correct information. Users must check their information and settings, reasonably verify that calculations fit their circumstances and instructions received, and not rely exclusively on a system result or the absence of an alert. Where there is doubt or a result cannot be verified, obtain halachic clarification before acting on it.

4.3. Location, time zone, date, time, day or night Onah, Minhag, settings changes, travel and incomplete history may affect results. Update material information and recheck relevant dates after changes. Civil time and the Hebrew date do not necessarily change at the same moment.

4.4. Displaying “Mikvah”, “Leil Tevilah”, “Tehorah”, completion of a count or a similar status describes only the calculation mechanism's result. It does not confirm that Bedikot, Hefsek Taharah, Tevilah or any required action actually occurred, does not confirm their validity and does not permit a halachic action solely because of the display. The absence of a recorded problem does not prove none existed.

4.5. A result flagged for clarification, an unsupported situation, missing information or a conflict is not an automatic determination. Do not fill the gap by assuming the system approved the case. Entering a personal instruction or manual adjustment also does not establish that the website team checked or approved it.

4.6. If a result conflicts with personal instructions from a qualified halachic authority, clarify the matter with that authority rather than prefer the automatic result. Maintain a reasonable alternative means of checking important dates according to personal needs.

4.7. These provisions define the service's role and reasonable use. They do not relieve the operator of duties to exercise reasonable skill and care, correct defects for which it is responsible or fulfil non-waivable statutory duties.

5. Reporting and investigating errors

5.1. A user who identifies or suspects an error may report it through “Feedback” in the application or the service email. Please identify the screen, result type, event date and difference between the displayed and expected results, avoiding intimate information unnecessary for investigation.

5.2. The website team will assess substantive reports, investigate suspected errors as needed to understand them and work to correct confirmed defects according to severity, scope and complexity. Where necessary, we may request additional information, update the user or take interim measures such as flagging a result for clarification or disabling a problematic calculation.

5.3. No uniform diagnosis or correction time is promised in every case. A halachic disagreement or an unsupported approach is not necessarily a technical defect. A technical team's response is not a halachic ruling.

5.4. Do not wait for a feedback response when halachic clarification is needed soon. You need not waive a right, pay extra or provide unrestricted calendar access as a condition of investigating a defect. A report does not automatically give the team access beyond the information supplied for handling and the necessary lawful permissions.

6. No medical service

The service is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, pregnancy planning, contraception or medical assessment. Do not use its forecasts for medical decisions. Recording information with bodily or health aspects does not make it a medical service. Refer medical questions to a qualified healthcare professional.

7. Accounts, security and information

7.1. Accounts are personal. Protect your Google account and device, check that you sign into the correct account and avoid leaving it open on shared devices. Do not transfer access permissions or trade accounts. Report suspected unauthorised access promptly.

7.2. Separate accounts' personal information is isolated through authorisation mechanisms. Admin status in the application does not itself authorise viewing another account's calendar, notes or halachic history. This is not a claim of end-to-end encryption or that an infrastructure provider or authorised party can never technically access data for a defined lawful need.

7.3. Processing, operational access, providers, retention and rights are governed by the Privacy Policy. The operator does not acquire ownership of personal information, and acceptance does not authorise its publication or targeted advertising use.

8. Reminders and communications

8.1. Reminders are sent by email or SMS according to selections, channel availability and settings. SMS is available to supported Israeli numbers and requires a phone number and express activation. A phone number is not required to use the calendar.

8.2. Reminders assist before a date, generally one day in advance. Late changes, calculation failures, incorrect contact details, message blocking or provider, network or device faults may prevent timely sending or delivery. Delivery of every message is not guaranteed, and no message does not mean there is no relevant date.

8.3. Reminder wording is limited and does not by default include full event details. Nevertheless, the service name, sender identity, link address or message itself may reveal use to a third party. Users must select suitable channels and devices and manage message display settings.

8.4. Reminders can be disabled in settings. Essential security, billing, cancellation or material service-change notices are independent of advertising consent. Advertising consent, if requested, is separate and revocable without impairing a purchased service.

9. Trial period

9.1. The trial lasts 30 full days without requiring a payment method. Start and end dates will appear in the account; the trial starts upon completion of onboarding and calendar access activation, not merely creation of a Google identity in the system.

9.2. A trial is granted once per stable account unless another benefit is expressly offered. Signing out and back in does not create another trial. Do not create artificial accounts to bypass this limit.

9.3. Without selecting a paid plan, providing a payment method and giving appropriate payment authorisation, no charge will occur at trial end. Without an active access entitlement, subscription functions will be blocked, but cancellation, privacy, deletion, support and sign-out channels will remain available. Trial end does not automatically delete information; retention follows the Privacy Policy.

9.4. You may choose a plan and add a payment method during the trial. There is no immediate charge. The first charge occurs on the displayed trial end date unless cancelled beforehand. You can cancel a scheduled charge without shortening the remaining trial. A free trial does not replace statutory cancellation rights for a paid contract.

10. Price, payment and renewal

10.1. The monthly plan costs NIS 14.90 per month. The annual plan costs NIS 149 per year, paid in advance for the year. The price approved at contracting is binding. Showing an average monthly cost for an annual plan does not convert it into monthly billing.

10.2. The consumer price includes applicable taxes and compulsory charges legally required to be included. Currency conversion costs or fees independently charged by a bank or payment issuer are not TaharaSmart fees and depend on the user's agreement with them.

10.3. The contract is a subscription to an ongoing service with a monthly or annual billing cycle as approved. Renewal and future charges follow authorisation, disclosures and legal requirements. Where notice, renewal consent or another action is mandatory, this general clause will not replace compliance.

10.4. Before payment approval, the plan, total price, billing period, first charge and renewal dates, and cancellation terms will be shown. After contracting, confirmation with transaction details and legally required documents will be provided in a form that can be saved.

10.5. The operator does not store full card details or the security code. Processing is through the payment provider displayed at the transaction. We retain identifiers and transaction records needed for operation, display, enquiries and legal compliance. Do not send full card details through feedback or email.

10.6. The subscription price version is preserved while the subscription remains continuous. Reversing renewal cancellation before termination does not itself change the price. After final termination, rejoining uses the price then displayed. A legally mandatory payment change will be handled lawfully with appropriate disclosure, not used to change the agreed price arbitrarily.

11. Payment failure

If a renewal charge fails, a seven-day grace period will be provided to resolve it, with an account notice. Access to subscription functions may then be suspended. Collection retries will not occur after effective cancellation or cause duplicate billing for the same period. Suspension does not delete data or block privacy and cancellation rights. No handling fees or penalties not lawfully disclosed and agreed will be imposed. Restoring access after suspension will include displaying the period and consideration to which the charge relates.

12. Renewal cancellation, transaction cancellation and refunds

12.1. You may select “Cancel automatic renewal” and expressly request termination at the end of the already-paid period. Access then continues until the selected date, no additional renewal charges occur, and there is no automatic refund for the period during which continued service was requested, subject to law.

12.2. This is not the only cancellation method and does not waive a statutory right to early termination, distance transaction cancellation or a refund. Cancellation notice may be submitted through the online cancellation centre and other methods in the Cancellation Policy. Notice not requesting a later end date will be handled according to its content and the law, not automatically treated as a request to wait until month or year end.

12.3. No cancellation fee will be charged merely for cancelling the subscription. Payment for supplied service and refunds for the remainder will be calculated under the Cancellation Policy and applicable law. A mandatory refund must not be conditional on accepting usage credit instead of money.

12.4. Subscription cancellation is not account deletion. Account deletion also includes stopping future charges and appropriate financial handling, as described on the Data Rights and Account Deletion page.

13. Referral programme

The refer-a-friend programme is subject to its separate terms. Generally, a referred user's first successful payment under a qualifying referral earns one month of free use. Credit is not money and cannot be withdrawn or transferred. The referrer must not receive the referred user's account content or identification details through the programme.

14. Licence and intellectual property

14.1. Subject to these terms, users receive personal, limited, non-exclusive permission to use the service for its purpose. Rights in software, interface, design and brand content belong to the operator or relevant rights holders. This does not claim ownership of halachic rules, facts, calendars themselves, user content or third-party components beyond applicable licences.

14.2. Protected service elements must not be copied or commercialised without permission, subject to legally permitted uses and rights. Open-source components and third-party data are governed by their licences. These terms do not restrict rights granted by a binding licence or law.

14.3. Permission to process user content is limited to providing, maintaining and securing the service and the purposes in the Privacy Policy. There is no unrestricted licence to publish personal content. Using feedback as a public testimonial or a user's name in advertising requires separate permission.

15. Prohibited use

Do not access another account, bypass permissions or payment, impersonate others, upload unlawful content, commit fraud, impair availability, run malicious code, collect personal information automatically without authorisation or exploit a vulnerability to view information not yours. These prohibitions do not prevent exercising legal rights, using assistive technology or responsibly reporting a suspected vulnerability.

16. Third-party services, connectivity and installation

The service depends, among other things, on network connectivity, a compatible device and authentication, infrastructure, payment and messaging services. Home-screen installation does not promise offline operation. External provider failures may affect the service; using a provider does not relieve the operator of statutory liability. The service is not affiliated with Google or another provider beyond use of the relevant infrastructure.

17. Maintenance, updates and discontinuation

17.1. We will work toward proper operation but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free service. Maintenance, updates, faults and external events may occur. We will take reasonable steps to limit disruption and, where possible, provide advance notice of significant planned downtime.

17.2. Software, data or rule updates may cause recalculation. A personal rule must not be changed or halachic approval presented solely on the basis of a Minhag name. A material change with a known effect on relevant results will be accompanied by appropriate clarification to potentially affected users insofar as they can lawfully be identified and notified.

17.3. If the service permanently closes or is materially reduced so the purchased service cannot be provided, we will give reasonable notice as circumstances permit, stop future charges and make legally due refunds, including for paid periods without service. We will enable data rights before closure, subject to security constraints and the law.

18. Restriction or suspension for security or breach

An account may be proportionately restricted for a genuine security risk, unlawful use, fraud, material breach or legal obligation. Where possible, we will explain why and allow clarification or correction unless notice would threaten security or be legally prohibited. Suspension does not permit arbitrary forfeiture of payments, unnecessary data retention or denial of complaints, cancellation or rights channels.

19. Liability and limitations

19.1. The operator and user bear liability applicable to them under law. Liability for damage will be assessed according to the circumstances, commitments, causation and applicable duties, including mitigation where required.

19.2. Subject to law, liability does not apply where a result is exclusively caused by incorrect input, use contrary to a relevant clear warning or an event outside the operator's responsibility. Where an operator-responsible defect also contributed, this clause does not exclude assessment of that liability.

19.3. Insofar as legally permitted, the operator will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damage that is not a foreseeable result of a breach for which it is responsible. This is not a blanket monetary liability cap and does not exclude compensation granted by law.

19.4. Nothing excludes liability for intentional acts, fraud or gross negligence; personal injury where limitation is prohibited; or non-waivable duties and rights under consumer, privacy, information security or other law. The risk of error does not permit knowingly supplying defective calculations or ignoring a material defect.

20. Changes and notices

20.1. Material updates will be communicated reasonably in advance and according to law. Changes requiring fresh consent will not take effect on silence alone. Cancellation rights, agreed prices or lawfully acquired rights will not be retrospectively reduced.

20.2. Notices will be provided through the account or supplied contact details according to their nature and law. Users should keep contact details current. Sending a notice does not relieve us of a specific delivery duty or proof of delivery where required.

21. Transfer of operations

Transfer of operations in a business transaction will comply with law and preserve commitments to users. Sensitive information does not become an asset for unrestricted use by a buyer. Material processing-purpose changes require disclosure and an appropriate legal basis, and fresh consent where necessary.

22. Governing law, jurisdiction and disputes

Israeli law governs the contract without diminishing mandatory protections in a consumer's country of residence where applicable law grants them. Jurisdiction follows the law; users need not litigate in a specific city, waive class actions or accept arbitration as a condition of use. You may first contact us for resolution, but this is not a prerequisite to exercising a legal right. Further regional provisions appear in the international service addendum.

23. Final provisions

Invalidity of one provision does not invalidate the remainder insofar as they can lawfully operate. Non-enforcement in one instance is not a general waiver. Translations are intended to reflect the same terms; conflicts will be interpreted under law and consumer protections, not to deprive a user of a right because of language. Contact the operator using the details at the beginning for any matter.
