Last Updated: September 8, 2026

I understand that The Screen Balance Program is a general educational course only. It is not therapy, medical advice, psychological advice, counseling, diagnosis, treatment, cure, prevention, clinical assessment, safeguarding advice, crisis support, or individualized professional guidance of any kind. I understand that purchasing or using this course does not make me, my child, or my family a client or patient of Elevating Parenthood, LLP, Daniel O’Rourke, PhD, Jennifer Tininenko, PhD, Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle, PLLC, or any associated professional or individual. I understand that I must consult a qualified professional licensed or authorized in my jurisdiction if I need advice specific to my child or family. I understand that I must contact emergency services immediately if there is any urgent safety concern.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING, ACCESSING, OR USING THIS COURSE. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY, AND OTHER PROVISIONS THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your purchase of, access to, and use of the Course and all related materials, including but not limited to videos, written lessons, worksheets, handouts, downloads, assessments, questionnaires, checklists, scripts, guides, emails, images, diagrams, templates, community spaces, and any other content provided by us (collectively, the “Course Materials”).

By purchasing, accessing, viewing, downloading, or using the Course in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT PURCHASE, ACCESS, VIEW, DOWNLOAD, OR USE THE COURSE. YOUR ONLY REMEDY IN THAT CASE IS TO REFRAIN FROM PURCHASING OR USING THE COURSE.

1. Educational Purpose Only

The Course is provided for general educational and informational purposes only and for no other purpose.

The course is intended to help parents and caregivers learn general information about topics such as children’s screen use, family routines, sleep, emotional regulation, boredom, real-world activities, digital habits, parent–child communication, parental controls, and family decision-making.

THE COURSE IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVICE, PSYCHOTHERAPY, COUNSELING, CLINICAL ASSESSMENT, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, SAFEGUARDING ADVICE, CRISIS SUPPORT, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, OR INDIVIDUALIZED PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OF ANY KIND.

Nothing in the course is intended to, and nothing in the course should be construed to, diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, monitor, or manage any medical, psychological, psychiatric, developmental, behavioral, educational, sleep-related, emotional, family, or other health condition.

You understand and irrevocably agree that the course is a general educational digital product only.

2. No Client, Patient, or Professional Relationship

Your purchase, access, viewing, downloading, or use of the Course does not create, and shall not be construed to create, any psychologist–client, therapist–client, counselor–client, doctor–patient, clinician–patient, adviser–client, fiduciary, or any other professional, clinical, or legal relationship between you, your child, or your family and:

Elevating Parenthood, LLP
Daniel O’Rourke, PhD
Jennifer Tininenko, PhD
Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle, PLLC
any owners, partners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, contributors, presenters, authors, consultants, affiliates, agents, insurers, successors, assigns, or associated professionals connected with the course.

Even if the course is created or presented by psychologists, doctors, therapists, clinicians, or other credentialed professionals, the course constitutes a general educational publication only. It does not constitute the provision of psychological services, therapy, counseling, medical care, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, safeguarding review, risk assessment, crisis support, regulated health services, or individualized professional advice of any kind.

No person or entity associated with the course is evaluating, assessing, diagnosing, monitoring, treating, supervising, or providing professional care to you, your child, or your family through the course. Any use of professional titles is for background identification and credibility purposes only.

Contributor Status. Jennifer Tininenko, PhD contributes to the Course as an independent contractor to Elevating Parenthood, LLP. She is not an owner, partner, or member of Elevating Parenthood, LLP. Any services she provides in connection with the Course are provided solely on behalf of and under the direction of Elevating Parenthood, LLP. No direct contractual, professional, clinical, or other legal relationship of any kind is created between Jennifer Tininenko, PhD and any person who purchases or uses the Course. All contractual relationships under these Terms are between you and Elevating Parenthood, LLP only.

3. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

The course is not a substitute for advice, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or support from a qualified professional who can individually evaluate your child, your family, and your specific circumstances.

If you need advice specific to your child or family, you must consult a suitably qualified professional who is licensed, registered, or otherwise authorized to practice in your jurisdiction. Depending on your circumstances, this may include your doctor, paediatrician, psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, counselor, school professional, social worker, sleep specialist, safeguarding professional, or another appropriate provider.

YOU MUST NOT DELAY, AVOID, DISREGARD, OR DISCONTINUE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE BECAUSE OF ANYTHING CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY THIS COURSE.

4. Not for Emergencies or Crisis Situations

The Course is not an emergency service and is entirely unsuitable for use in crisis or emergency situations.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR CHILD, YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE MAY BE AT IMMEDIATE RISK OF HARM, OR IF THERE IS ANY CONCERN ABOUT SELF-HARM, SUICIDE, VIOLENCE, ABUSE, NEGLECT, EXPLOITATION, SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH DETERIORATION, OR ANY OTHER URGENT SAFETY ISSUE, CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES, CRISIS SERVICES, OR YOUR LOCAL SAFEGUARDING AUTHORITY IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT RELY ON THIS COURSE IN AN EMERGENCY.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or suicidal thoughts, please call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7 in the United States) or contact the appropriate crisis service in your country. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911 (US) or your local emergency number immediately.

5. Your Sole Responsibility for Parenting and Safety Decisions

You are solely and exclusively responsible for all decisions you make about your child, your family, your parenting, your home environment, your child’s devices, screen access, routines, rules, consequences, supervision, online safety, sleep routines, activities, and any actions you take or do not take in connection with the course.

You agree to exercise your own independent judgment and to consider your child’s age, maturity, temperament, development, needs, vulnerabilities, health, mental health, family context, safety, and all relevant circumstances before applying any information from the course.

You are solely responsible for determining whether any course content is appropriate, safe, lawful, and suitable for your particular family and circumstances. Nothing in this course constitutes a direction, recommendation, or requirement that you implement any particular approach.

6. Course Materials Are General and Not Individualized

The course materials are general educational resources prepared without knowledge of your specific child, family, diagnoses, history, symptoms, risk level, household circumstances, location, school context, legal situation, co-parenting arrangement, or professional needs.

Any scripts, examples, worksheets, assessments, questionnaires, decision trees, handouts, recommendations, case examples, explanations, or suggested approaches included in the course are provided for general educational purposes only and must not be interpreted as professional advice about your child or family.

7. No Diagnosis, Treatment, or Clinical Assessment

The Course does not and cannot diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or assess any medical, psychological, psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, behavioral, educational, sleep-related, or emotional condition. This includes, without limitation:

anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder
behavioral difficulties, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder
sleep disorders and sleep disturbances
trauma, post-traumatic stress, adverse childhood experiences
addiction, compulsive behaviors, gaming disorder, internet use disorder
self-harm, suicidal ideation, or suicidal behavior
emotional dysregulation, attachment difficulties
family conflict, domestic and family issues
developmental concerns, learning disabilities
school-related difficulties
online safety risks and exploitation concerns.

If you are concerned about any of these or any related issues, you must seek advice from a qualified professional.

8. Assessments, Questionnaires, Profiles, Scores, and Decision Tools

Any questionnaires, scores, profiles, red-flag checklists, reflection exercises, screen-balance tools, diversified childhood tools, decision trees, or similar materials included in the course are provided for self-reflection and general educational purposes only.

They are not diagnostic tools. They are not clinical assessments. They are not validated clinical measures. They are not a substitute for professional evaluation. They must not be used to diagnose, rule out, assess, monitor, treat, or manage any condition, or to make any professional, legal, or clinical decision about your child or family.

If any questionnaire, score, checklist item, reflection question, or course activity raises a concern, you must consult a qualified professional promptly.

Adaptive and personalized features. Parts of the course change what they show based on the answers you type in, including the profile, the decision tree, the target selector, the software recommender, the simulators, and the written plan, letter, and family agreement the course generates. This is automated, rule based selection and ordering of pre-written general educational content and example wording. The same content is available to every user; your answers only determine which parts are shown to you and in what order. No answer you give is read, reviewed, or assessed by Dr. O’Rourke, Dr. Tininenko, or anyone else, and your answers are stored in your own browser rather than sent to us. Content selected in this way is not an individualized assessment, diagnosis, opinion, recommendation, or professional advice about you, your child, or your family, and it has not been validated as a clinical measure. Any document the course generates is a template you choose to complete; you alone decide whether and how to use it.

9. Online Safety, Harmful Content, and Risk

The course may discuss sensitive topics including online safety, social media, gaming, pornography, grooming risks, harmful content, emotional outbursts, sleep disruption, conflict, and device-related behavior. This information is general and educational only. It is not a safeguarding assessment, clinical risk assessment, legal assessment, or individualized safety plan.

You are solely responsible for supervising your child’s device use, privacy settings, online activity, contacts, apps, gaming, social media, browsing, messaging, and digital safety. Technology, platforms, risks, and online content change rapidly and continuously. We expressly do not guarantee that the course identifies, prevents, addresses, or protects against every risk, harm, or threat to which your child may be exposed.

10. Third-Party Software, Apps, Platforms, and Parental Control Tools

The course may refer to software tools, apps, parental controls, device settings, websites, services, products, or third-party platforms for general educational purposes only. We do not own, control, operate, endorse, guarantee, audit, or accept any responsibility for any third-party software, app, platform, parental control, website, device, service, tool, setting, or product, unless expressly and specifically stated otherwise in writing.

You are solely responsible for reviewing and deciding whether any third-party tool or service is appropriate for your family. You must review the provider’s own terms, privacy policy, data practices, safety information, instructions, pricing, limitations, and suitability before use.

We and our associated individuals and entities expressly disclaim all liability for any failure, error, omission, change, cost, data issue, privacy breach, security incident, device problem, platform change, inappropriate content, technical failure, or any other consequence arising from third-party tools or services, including any third-party tools or services referenced in the course.

11. No Guaranteed Results

We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee that the course will produce any particular outcome for any family. Specifically, and without limitation, we do not warrant or guarantee that the course will:

reduce screen use or screen time
reduce family conflict or tension
improve sleep quality or duration
improve behavior or conduct
improve emotional regulation
improve mental health outcomes
improve parent-child or family relationships
prevent online harm or harmful content exposure
prevent compulsive screen use or related behaviors
improve school or academic performance
improve family functioning
produce any specific, particular, or intended result of any kind.

Individual outcomes vary widely and depend on factors entirely outside our control, including your child’s age, needs, temperament, development, mental health, family context, co-parenting arrangements, consistency of implementation, environment, device access, peer influences, school context, and professional support.

12. Personal Responsibility and Voluntary Assumption of Risk

You understand that applying any educational material involving parenting, family routines, behavioral change, device limits, online safety, sleep routines, or family communication may involve discomfort, disagreement, resistance, conflict, escalation, or unintended consequences.

You voluntarily and knowingly assume full responsibility for your use of the course and for all decisions, actions, and outcomes arising from your use of the course. You agree that Elevating Parenthood, LLP, Daniel O’Rourke, PhD, Jennifer Tininenko, PhD, Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle, PLLC, and all associated individuals and entities bear no responsibility whatsoever for your parenting decisions, family decisions, implementation choices, or outcomes.

13. Professional Credentials — Background Only

The course may identify its creators, presenters, contributors, or authors as psychologists, clinicians, doctors, therapists, researchers, educators, or other professionals. Those professional titles and credentials are provided for background and credibility purposes only. They do not alter the educational-only nature of the course.

By purchasing or using the course, you are not receiving professional services from any such individual. No professional, clinical, or regulated relationship is formed. The course does not provide services regulated by any professional licensing board, psychology board, healthcare authority, medical board, therapy board, educational authority, or other regulatory or professional body. If you require regulated professional services, you must consult a provider qualified and authorized to practice in your jurisdiction.

14. International Users

The Course is owned and operated by us, a limited liability partnership by us, a limited liability partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Washington, United States of America.

The course may be accessed by users in different countries. We make no representation that the course, materials, terminology, examples, recommendations, professional references, third-party tools, or safety suggestions are appropriate, available, lawful, compliant, or suitable for all jurisdictions. Content standards, professional regulatory frameworks, safeguarding obligations, and consumer laws vary by country, state, and territory.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of the course is lawful in your jurisdiction. If you need guidance specific to your country, state, province, territory, healthcare system, legal system, or professional regulations, you must seek advice from a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.

15. Payment, Access, Refunds, and Billing

Payment, access period, refund terms, subscription terms, cancellation terms, and any trial terms are as stated at checkout, on the applicable sales page, or in the offer through which you purchased the course. Those terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If the course is sold as a subscription, membership, payment plan, trial, or automatically renewing product, you agree to the billing terms presented at checkout, including any automatic renewal terms. You are responsible for maintaining accurate billing information and for cancelling in accordance with the cancellation procedures stated at checkout before any billing cycle renews.

Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or waived, including rights under applicable federal and state consumer protection laws.

For US online subscription and negative-option offers, material terms will be clearly presented and affirmative consent obtained before any charge is processed, in compliance with applicable federal and state requirements including the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) and applicable state consumer protection statutes.

The Course is currently offered as a one-time purchase with no recurring billing. If Elevating Parenthood, we introduce subscription, membership, payment plan, or other recurring billing options in the future, all material billing terms — including price, billing frequency, and cancellation procedures — will be clearly disclosed and affirmative consent will be obtained before any such recurring charge is processed.

Nothing in this clause affects any mandatory consumer protections applicable in your jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be excluded.

28. Venue

Subject to the arbitration provision below, you agree that any legal action, proceeding, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Course that proceeds in court shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Klickitat County, Washington, United States of America. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and irrevocably waive any objection based on inconvenient forum, improper venue, or lack of jurisdiction.

29. Binding Individual Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MATERIALLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Before initiating any arbitration, you and we agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute through good faith informal negotiation. The party seeking to initiate a dispute must send written notice to the other party describing (i) the nature of the dispute, (ii) the specific relief sought, and (iii) contact information. our address for such notices is set out in Section 41 (Formal Notices) of these Terms. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notice (or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing), either party may then initiate arbitration as described below. This informal dispute resolution requirement is a condition precedent to arbitration. Any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled during this 60-day period.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy of any nature arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Course, your purchase, your access, or your use of the course (including any dispute about the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, or termination of these Terms) shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall take place in Klickitat County, Washington, unless the parties mutually agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, videoconference, or written submission. The arbitrator shall be empowered to award only the relief that would be available in court to an individual claimant.

For claims of $10,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. For claims exceeding $10,000, the right to an in-person hearing shall be determined by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties shall mutually select an alternative arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction shall appoint the arbitration provider.

The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and applicable federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including to protect intellectual property rights.

30. Class Action and Representative Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND ELEVATING PARENTHOOD, LLP AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.

You agree that you may not bring, join, participate in, or recover through any such proceeding against any Released Party. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim, that specific claim shall proceed in court rather than arbitration, and all other claims shall remain in arbitration.

31. Small Claims Exception

Either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction if the claim qualifies under that court’s jurisdictional requirements and the claim remains within small claims court throughout the proceeding.

32. Time Limit for Claims

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SCREEN BALANCE PROGRAM MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR IT WILL BE PERMANENTLY AND IRREVOCABLY BARRED. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THIS LIMITATION, THE SHORTEST PERMISSIBLE LIMITATION PERIOD SHALL APPLY.

33. Changes to the Course or Terms

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to update, revise, replace, remove, or reorganize course content and materials at any time without notice or liability.

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will publish the updated Terms with a revised “Last Updated” date. For material changes — including changes to payment terms, dispute resolution, or your core rights and obligations — we will notify you by email to the address associated with your account before those changes take effect. Your continued access to or use of the course after updated Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must cease using the course immediately.

34. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or severed from these Terms if modification is not possible. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the invalidity or unenforceability of any other provision.

35. No Waiver

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver by us of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

36. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without consent is void.

We may freely assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all assets, restructuring, or other business transaction, without notice to or consent from you.

37. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any checkout terms, billing terms, refund policy, privacy policy, and other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and us regarding the Course. They supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, representations, warranties, and agreements regarding the course, whether oral or written.
