By using our Services, you are agreeing to these Terms of Service, and must follow any policy made available to you within the Services. Please read them carefully.

We’ve tried to keep our Terms of Service as simple as possible, but if you are not familiar with terms like eForms, Care Profile and Authorised Supervisors, then read about these in our Definitions first.

 

Our Services

Operoo (previously named ‘CareMonkey’) is an online and mobile platform used to automate inefficient operational processes. Its digital forms, approval workflows and online payments eliminate manual processes and paperwork headaches.

 

Services for All Users

An Operoo User (“User”) is any individual with an Operoo Account (username and password) who can legally complete/respond to forms on behalf of themselves, or somebody they are legally responsible for (e.g. their child). We help Users manage eForms, receive communications and respond to eForms requested by Organisations where they and/or the persons they are legally responsible for are a Member (e.g. their child’s school or club).

  • Users are notified by email and/or SMS and/or push notification when an eForm has been sent, and can view communications and eForms within Operoo;
  • Users can respond to eForms, make payments, and/or provide signed consent on behalf of themselves, or somebody they are legally responsible for;
  • Community Edition Users can create a Care Profile for themselves, or somebody they are legally responsible for; The Care Profile may include a Medical form with a photo, emergency contacts, medical conditions and personalised care instructions;
  • Community Edition Users can share their Care Profile with other Users, or with one or more Organisations. When a User shares a Care Profile with an Organisation, the Care Profile becomes part of that Organisation’s Member records;
  • A Community Edition User can export their data and/or permanently delete their Operoo Account at anytime.

All Users are subject to the User Terms of Service. Users include parents, legal guardians and any Adult User (including an Organisation’s Staff Members, Authorised Supervisors, and Administrators which are given privileges by that Organisation’s Operoo Administrator (“Admin”)).

If a User is given privileges by an Organisation (Administrator and/or Authorised Supervisor access) then that User is also subject to the Customer Terms of Service.

Some Organizations also use Operoo to send communications and collect eForms directly to and from their students or other under-age members (“Student Users”). In those cases, the Student User will be provided an Operoo account that is separate from the parent’s or guardian’s account and that has limited functionality.  Student Users are also subject to these User Terms of Service, but the way that a Student User’s Operoo Account is authorized differs based on the country where the Student User is located — see below under “General Conditions – Kids and Operoo” for details.

Services for Paying Customers

We help paying Customers (Organisations such as schools, clubs, sports teams and businesses) efficiently manage the secure collection of completed eForms from Users, and provide secure access to completed eForms to the relevant Authorised Supervisors and Admins. For example, a teacher may have access to student medical forms on a camp so they know what to do, who to call, and what to tell paramedics in an emergency.

 

Organisations use our Services to allow Operoo Administrators (“Admins”) to:
  • Add and organise Members (e.g. students, staff) into Groups (e.g. classes, teams);
  • Add additional information about Members (e.g. contact information, photos, notes and attachments);
  • Send email, SMS and in-app communications to Users legally responsible for Members;
  • Design, send and collect custom eForms requesting information, payments and/or signed consent from Users (e.g. permission to attend an excursion or field trip);
  • Collect Medical eForms that include emergency information about Members (contacts, medical conditions, personalised care instructions) from Users;
  • Set and send automated reminders to Users confirming Member information is accurate and up-to-date;
  • Manage and reconcile consents and communications with and from Users;
  • Run pre-built reports on their Members, eForms, Excursions and other activities; and
  • Grant Authorised Supervisors (e.g teachers, coaches, supervising staff) secure access to Member information in Groups and eForms (including emergency information in the Medical eForm).

Organisations use our Services to enable Authorised Supervisors to:

  • View emergency information and completed eForms for Members they are responsible for via a browser, or the Operoo Mobile App (which also provides offline access);
  • Add additional information about Members (e.g. log injuries, notes, and mark the roll on excursions for those Members);
  • Send Group email, SMS and in-app messages to Users responsible for Members.

User Terms of Service

This Agreement governs the use of Operoo by any User, and limits the liability of the Company to any User. The User agrees and accepts that:

  • The User must register an account in Operoo to use the Services;
  • The User must be a legal Adult, except where the User is a Student User who has been assigned a special student account. Children under legal age cannot be a User on a standard Operoo account;
  • The User must be a legal Adult (children under age cannot be a User);
  • In Community Edition all Care Profiles and eForm responses from the User are controlled by the User, not the Company or the Organisation;
  • In Group Edition the Student Record is controlled by the Organisation and access may be granted to parent/guardian Users;
  • The User can only input information on behalf of themselves, and on behalf of others if they are legally responsible for that person (e.g. parent of child, legal guardian), or have that individual’s recorded consent;
  • To correspond with the User, the Organisation must use the User’s contact information;
  • The User may receive emails, text messages, push notifications and other alerts via Operoo on behalf of an Organisation and their Authorised Supervisors;
  • Some communications are emergent and cannot be opted-out;
  • If a Community Edition User shares a Care Profile with an Organisation or Individual User, they authorise the Company/Operoo to provide access to the Medical Form (which may include personal health information) to that Organisation or Individual;
  • The User agrees that when it provides any consent, authority or agreement via Operoo, it does so as an electronic transaction and warrants that such transaction shall be binding on the party unless and until revoked by the User;
  • The User agrees an Organisation may rely on a consent made via Operoo without any need to further verify the veracity of that consent;
  • If the User responds to an eForm (e.g. a media consent form, or excursion permission form), that eForm response becomes the property of the Organisation, and may include a snapshot of the Care Profile/Medical Form at the time the eForm was submitted. This means the User still controls their responses, however only the Organisation can delete the eForm responses;
  • The User is solely responsible for verifying the identity of a signatory to any electronic transaction it is a party to.
  • Any information shared by a User with an authorised Organisation may be retained by the Organisation for the purposes of updating/maintaining their administrative records, and/or for compliance purposes;
  • If the User shares information with an Organisation, that Organisation may have its own policies governing access to this information and the use of Operoo by its Staff Members.
  • If the User is granted additional permissions by an Organisation (e.g. access as an Admin or Authorised Supervisor), the User is also subject to the Customer Terms of Service.
  • A Community Edition User’s license to access Operoo shall be ongoing until terminated by the User. The User can terminate the Agreement by deleting their Operoo Account.
  • A parent or guardian of a Student User can terminate that Student User’s license to access Operoo, and terminate this Agreement with respect to that Student User, by contacting the school or other Organization and asking to have the Student User’s account deleted.

Customer Terms of Service

Any person who registers an Organisation in Operoo warrants that he or she is an authorised representative of that Organisation, with the requisite authority to bind the Organisation to this Agreement.

This Agreement governs the use of Operoo by any Customer (“Organisation”), and limits the liability of the Company to any Customer. The Customer agrees and accepts that:

  • It shall only use Operoo for its intended purpose (Services) as set out in this Agreement;
  • The Organisation is the data controller and is responsible for any information they collect, store and access via Operoo. The Company is the data processor and allows the Organisation (via the Organisation’s Admin or Authorised Supervisors) to perform various actions as the data controller using the Services;
  • The Company/Operoo does not guarantee the validity of any electronic transaction (e.g. responses to eForms);
  • All communications sent to Users via Operoo is on behalf of the Organisation, and will use the Organisation’s name (and logo if supplied);
  • The Organisation is responsible for granting and removing Admin permissions to any Users;
  • The Organisation is responsible for granting and removing Authorised Supervisor access to their Members, and will only grant access when needed to fulfil their role or duty of care obligations;
  • The Organisation is responsible for ensuring all Admins and Authorised Supervisors follow the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and any General Conditions;
  • It shall not disclose any information about an Individual to any other person or party, other than to Authorised Supervisors and the User who rightfully manages the Member eForm responses;
  • The Organisation shall not store or record any Health Information via Operoo unless it is fully compliant with that Organisation’s relevant regulations and privacy laws (e.g. Privacy Act 1989 Cth in Australia, Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR in the UK);
  • It shall ensure all personal information accessed through Operoo is kept and used in accordance with that Organisation’s relevant regulations and privacy laws;
  • It shall comply with all anti-SPAM legislation in its jurisdiction;

  • It is solely responsible for the use of the Member information uploaded or input into Operoo by any Admin or Authorised Supervisor.

 

License, Fees and Termination

  • The Organisation’s licence to use Operoo, as provided for in the General Conditions, is subject to the payment of all necessary Fees;
  • Fees apply as agreed between the Organisation and the Company as to the use of Operoo, and the terms of those Fees are set out in the General Conditions;
  • The Organisation’s license to access Operoo shall be ongoing until terminated by the Organisation in accordance with this Agreement;
  • Either party may end this Agreement at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the other party;
  • Where a Fee is paid for a particular term of access to Operoo, the Customer shall not be entitled to a pro-rata refund of any Fees (e.g. if Customer elects to stop using Operoo within that term, or reduces the number of Users it requires); and
  • If the Company terminates this Agreement without cause, it shall provide a pro-rata refund for any fees paid in advance.

  • For Student Users located in the United States only:  The initial consent for collecting information from a Student User will be provided by your school or other Organization.  However, the Student User’s parent/guardian has the right to supersede that consent if the parent/guardian wishes to reject this Agreement’s Terms and Conditions on behalf of their child.  In that case, the parent/guardian must cause their child to immediately cease using Operoo, and must contact the school or other Organization to have their Student User account deleted.
  • This Agreement may be updated from time-to-time by the Company at its absolute discretion, and unless stated otherwise by the Company in writing, such updates shall come into effect for use of Operoo at the User’s next login after the User receives written notice of the update(s).

  • Operoo is only accessible to the User as stated in the terms set out in the section of this Agreement “User Terms of Service”.
  • Operoo is only accessible to the Customer (Organisation) as stated in the terms set out in the section of this Agreement “Customer Terms of Service”.
  • The User agrees and accepts that Operoo is:
    • Hosted by the Company and shall only be installed, accessed and maintained by the Company, accessed using the internet or other connection to the Company services and is not available ‘locally’ from the User’s system; and
    • Managed and supported exclusively by the Company from the Company servers and that no ‘back-end’ access to Operoo is available to the User or Customer unless expressly agreed in writing, or accessed by the Customer using the Operoo API.
  • As a hosted and managed service, the company reserves the right to upgrade, maintain, tune, backup, amend, add or remove features, redesign, improve or otherwise alter Operoo.
  • The company shall not exercise its right under the clause (above) in a manner that would intentionally cause the User to lose access to User Content or fundamentally decrease the utility of Operoo to the User, other than in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

License

  • By accepting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the User is granted a limited, non-exclusive and revocable license to access and use Operoo for the duration of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
  • The Company may issue the license to the User with further terms or limitations (including the number of Users it can manage, or volume of use or transactions) as it sees fit.

Kids and Operoo

  • Among other things, Organisations use the Services to collect medical and consent information from Adult Users to deliver on their duty of care obligations.
  • Some of the User Content that Student Users will input into Operoo may be “personal information” that is subject to legal protection.  That personal information includes the Student User’s name, email address and/or cell phone number for SMS texts, potentially some other information that the Student User inputs into Operoo, and (in some countries) other information that someone might guess from the data that was input (for example, diet restrictions might suggest a specific religion).  The laws regarding collection of personal information, and who can consent to its collection, differ from country to country. If you or your child is provided a Student Account, the rules that apply to you or your child are the following:
    • Student Users in Australia:  By accessing a Student Account, you – the Student User – are consenting to the collection of your own personal information.  That information includes the types of information described in the lead-in to this paragraph. The Company/Operoo won’t share that information with anyone except the school or other organization that provided your Student Account.  (The Company will not provide Student Accounts to schools or other organizations where the Company knows that the students are too young to have capacity to make their own decisions regarding personal information; those schools and organizations are limited to Adult User accounts.)  
    • Student Users in the United Kingdom (and other countries covered by the GDPR):  By accessing a Student Account, you – the Student User – are consenting to the collection of your own personal information.  That information includes the types of information described in the lead-in to this paragraph. The Company/Operoo won’t share that information with anyone except the school or other organization that provided your Student Account.  (The Company will not provide Student Accounts to schools or other organizations where the Company knows that the students are under the age of 13; those schools and organizations are limited to Adult User accounts.) 
    • Student Users in the United States:  Schools and school districts that elect to provide Student Accounts are deemed to have given consent to the collection of personal information from their Student Users, as permitted by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and the Rules under that Act.   If a Student User’s parent / guardian objects to the collection of that information, the parent / guardian can supersede the consent given by the school. To do so, the parent / guardian must cause their Student User to cease using Operoo and must contact the school to have their Student Account deleted.

 

Data Ownership

  • The Company obtains no right, title or interest in User Content including any Intellectual Property found within it. The Company accepts no liability for the content of User Content.
  • Despite the clause immediately above, the Company shall be authorised to permanently delete Organisation Content where outstanding Fees remain unpaid in accordance with the section of this Agreement “Customer Terms of Service – License, Fees and Termination”, subject to the Company first providing seven (7) Business Days’ notice of its intention to do so.
  • The User is responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of User Content and the User’s acquisition of it. The User is responsible for which other Users or Organisations it shares information with.

  • The Company shall not access, use, modify or otherwise deal with User Content except where required by the compulsion of law or upon the User’s authority (such as to provide support for Operoo).

 

Privacy

  • The Company maintains a Privacy Policy for the data that is entered by Users and Organisations.
  • The Privacy Policy does not apply to how the Customer handles personal information. It is the Customer’s responsibility to meet the obligations of relevant regulations and privacy laws.
  • The Company makes no warranty as to the suitability of Operoo in regards to the Organisation’s privacy obligations at law or contract, and it is the Organisation’s responsibility to determine whether Operoo is appropriate for the Organisation’s circumstances.
  • The Operoo website may use cookies (a small tracking code in your browser) to improve a User’s experience while browsing, and while sending browsing information back to the Company. The User may manage how it handles cookies in its own browser settings.

 

Fees

  • The Organisation agrees to pay all Fees as and when they fall due and to the extent permissible by law. Fees are non-cancellable and/or non-refundable once ordered or paid.
  • The Company may introduce new services with corresponding Fees by giving the User written notice of their availability and applicability.
  • The Company shall maintain all Fees for the term of the licence paid for by the Organisation.
  • The Company shall notify the User of any changes to existing Fees no less than 14 days before the end of the term of the Organisation’s licence.

  • The Customer authorises the Company to use the Customer’s information for the purposes of obtaining a credit assessment or to otherwise make investigations as to the Customer’s payment history.

 

Data Security

  • Security
    The Company takes the privacy of Users very seriously.  The User agrees that the User shall not do anything to prejudice the security or privacy of the Company’s systems or the information on them. The Company’s security policy can be found here.
  • Transmission
    The Company shall do all things reasonable to ensure that the transmission of data occurs according to accepted industry standards.  It is up to the User to ensure that any transmission standards meet the User’s operating and legal requirements.
  • Storage
    The Company may limit the amount of data that the User stores in Operoo, and shall advise the User of such.  Data that is stored with Operoo shall be stored according to accepted industry standards.
  • Backup

    • It accepts no responsibility for ongoing access to Operoo.

  • The Operoo Application.  The User agrees and accepts that Operoo is the Intellectual Property of the Company and the User further warrants that by using Operoo the User will not:
    • Copy Operoo or the Services that it provides for the User’s own commercial purposes; and

Confidentiality

  • The information and classes of information set out in the General Terms are Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement.

  • Each party acknowledges and agrees that:
    • The Confidential Information is secret, confidential and valuable to the disclosing party (Discloser);

    • Any theft, loss, damage or unauthorised access, use or disclosure of or to any Confidential Information that is or was in its possession or control.
