Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026 · Effective Date: 30 April 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the digital platform, applications, and coordination tools provided by CareHive Pte Ltd (“CareHive,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), including the products HiveLink, HiveOS, HiveVoice, and HiveStory and the websites and APIs through which they are delivered (together, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and CareHive.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organisation or another individual, you represent that you have the authority to bind that party, and references to “you” in these Terms include that party as well as you personally.

2. Definitions

The terms below have the following meanings throughout these Terms. Defined terms used in the Privacy Policy and not redefined here retain the meanings given to them there.

  • “User” means any individual who accesses or uses the Services, whether for themselves, on behalf of a Service Recipient, or as part of an organisation.
  • “Service Recipient” means the individual whose care is being coordinated through the platform — in most cases, a senior whose family or caregivers have set up an account on their behalf.
  • “Authorised Representative” means a User who acts on behalf of a Service Recipient under a recognised legal basis, including a holder of a Lasting Power of Attorney, a court-appointed guardian, an immediate family member acting in the practical role of primary caregiver with the Service Recipient’s agreement, or a designated caregiver formally nominated to manage the account.
  • “Content” means the text, data, notes, images, and other material that Users provide to the Services or that the Services display to Users in the course of operation.
  • “SOS Alert” means the emergency alerting feature within the Services that notifies designated contacts of a triggering event.

3. The Services

The CareHive platform is a digital eldercare and family-coordination service. It is designed to help families, caregivers, and Active Ageing Centres support the day-to-day wellbeing of seniors through a combination of coordination tools, reminders, and AI-assisted insights. The features delivered through the Services include, without limitation:

  • Medication reminders and adherence tracking — to help Service Recipients and their caregivers stay on top of prescribed medication routines.
  • Caregiver coordination and shared dashboards — so that family members and care professionals can stay aligned on the Service Recipient’s status and tasks.
  • Alerts and SOS notifications — including the alerting features described in Section 6, designed to notify designated contacts of triggering events.
  • Health insights and monitoring tools — including AI-assisted observations from HiveVoice and trend-detection across imported health data, surfaced as decision-support information for human caregivers rather than as autonomous decisions.

The Services evolve over time as we improve them and respond to user feedback. We reserve the right to add, modify, or discontinue specific features, provided that material reductions in functionality affecting active Users are notified in accordance with Section 18. Our use of personal data in delivering the Services is governed by the CareHive Privacy Policy, which forms part of the framework that governs your use of the Services.

4. Eligibility and Authorisation

To use the Services, you must be at least 18 years of age. The platform is designed for use by adults and by adults acting on behalf of Service Recipients; it is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly create accounts for users under 18.

Where you are accessing the Services on behalf of a Service Recipient, you represent and warrant that you possess the legal authority to do so. The basis on which you may act includes:

  • A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) duly registered under Singapore law granting you the relevant authority over the Service Recipient’s affairs.
  • Court-appointed guardianship or an equivalent legal status under the law applicable to the Service Recipient.
  • Express agreement of the Service Recipient where the Service Recipient has the capacity to give that agreement and has done so, including agreement to share their sensitive personal and health data with CareHive through your account.
  • Designation as a caregiver by an Active Ageing Centre or other organisation with lawful responsibility for the Service Recipient’s care.

CareHive may, at its discretion, request verification of the legal basis on which you are acting, particularly in the case of disputes between Authorised Representatives or where rights are being exercised on a Service Recipient’s behalf. If verification is not provided in response to a reasonable request, we may suspend the relevant account activity until the position is clarified.

5. Medical Disclaimer and Limitations

CareHive is a technology provider, not a healthcare provider. The Services do not constitute medical advice, do not provide a diagnosis, and do not deliver treatment. This is the most important practical limitation of the platform, and we want it understood plainly rather than buried.

5.1 Informational and Coordination Purpose

All content delivered by the Services — including medication reminders, alerts, caregiver notes, AI-generated insights, and health trend information — is provided for informational and care-coordination support only. It is not a substitute for the professional medical judgment of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Users should consult a qualified healthcare professional before taking any clinical action that might be informed by, or in response to, anything the platform displays.

5.2 AI-Generated Insights

Observations and trends generated by HiveVoice or by other AI models within the Services are automated outputs derived from the data the platform holds. They are decision-support information designed to help a human caregiver, family member, or care professional notice patterns more quickly. They are not clinical conclusions, and they are not substitutes for examination, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified professional. Users who believe an AI-generated insight has been applied incorrectly to a Service Recipient may request human review through the channels in Section 22.

5.3 No Reliance for Health Outcomes

To the extent permitted by law, CareHive is not responsible for health outcomes — including missed medication, adverse events, or delayed clinical intervention — that result from a User’s reliance on the Services rather than on the judgment of a qualified healthcare professional. This limitation is consistent with the limitation of liability in Section 16 and does not purport to exclude liabilities that cannot be excluded under applicable Singapore law.

6. SOS and Emergency Alerts

The Services include alert features designed to notify designated contacts when a triggering event occurs. Because these features are marketed as part of CareHive’s value proposition, we want to be precise about what they do and what they do not do.

6.1 Not a Replacement for Emergency Services

CareHive is not a replacement for national emergency services. In a life-threatening situation, the User, Service Recipient, or whoever is present must contact the relevant emergency number directly — in Singapore, 995 for medical and fire emergencies and 999 for police. The Services are designed to supplement, not replace, that primary line of help, and we encourage Users to ensure that emergency services and trusted physical contacts are the first layer of any care plan.

6.2 Best-Effort Delivery

SOS Alerts and other notifications generated by the Services are delivered on a best-effort basis. The chain that carries an alert from a triggering event to a designated contact’s device involves the User’s device, the operating system’s notification service, mobile networks, internet connectivity, the recipient’s device, and the recipient’s device-level settings — most of which CareHive does not own or control. Delivery may therefore fail or be delayed for reasons including, without limitation:

  • Network unavailability — mobile or internet connectivity failures on either the sending or the receiving side.
  • Device state — a device that is powered off, in airplane mode, low on battery, or operating under battery-saver restrictions.
  • Operating-system restrictions — background-activity limits and notification-throttling behaviour imposed by Apple iOS or Android, including Do Not Disturb and similar modes.
  • Third-party service availability — outages or rate-limiting by Apple Push Notification service, Firebase Cloud Messaging, or other delivery providers.

Subject to applicable consumer protection law, CareHive does not assume liability for delayed or failed notifications attributable to factors of this kind. Users are encouraged to design their care arrangements with redundancy in mind — multiple designated contacts, periodic testing of the alerting flow, and clear escalation routes outside the platform — rather than treating any single channel as a guarantee.

7. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Services integrate with third-party platforms and devices, including (without limitation) Apple Health (HealthKit), Android Health Connect, and compatible wearable devices. These integrations are opt-in: data is not exchanged with a third-party service unless the User has consented to that exchange in line with the Privacy Policy. The use of these integrations is, however, subject to important limitations:

  • Third-party terms apply — your use of any third-party platform or device is governed by that third party’s own terms of service and privacy policy. CareHive is not a party to those terms and does not undertake to enforce them on your behalf.
  • Data accuracy is the third party’s responsibility — CareHive is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of data provided by third-party services or devices. Where the Services display data sourced from a third party, that source is identified so that Users can apply their own judgment.
  • Availability is the third party’s responsibility — CareHive is not responsible for the availability or operational behaviour of third-party services. Outages or changes by a third party may affect the parts of CareHive that depend on that integration.

8. User Responsibilities and Conduct

The Services depend on the people who use them acting in good faith. The responsibilities below are not bureaucratic boxes but the basis on which the platform can deliver what it is designed to deliver.

8.1 Information Accuracy

Users agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information to the Services and to keep that information up to date. The platform is only as reliable as the data it is given; an out-of-date emergency contact, an incorrect medication schedule, or a misconfigured caregiver permission can produce real consequences for a Service Recipient.

8.2 Lawful Use

Users agree to use the Services lawfully and only for the eldercare coordination purposes for which they are designed. Without limiting that general obligation, Users agree not to:

  • Misuse, disrupt, or interfere with the Services, the underlying infrastructure, or other users’ access to the Services.
  • Attempt unauthorised access to any account, system, or data that the User is not entitled to access.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
  • Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Services other than through the interfaces and APIs we expressly make available.
  • Use the Services to harass, defame, or harm another individual including (without limitation) any Service Recipient, family member, or caregiver who interacts with the platform.

8.3 Authorisation of Caregivers

Users who add a family member or caregiver to a Service Recipient’s account, or who share data through the platform, agree that they have authority to do so. Where there is doubt about authority, Users should resolve it before sharing rather than after.

9. Account Security

Each User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the credentials used to access their account, and for all activity that occurs under that account whether or not the User authorised it. CareHive provides the technical layers needed to make this responsibility manageable — strong password requirements, optional Multi-Factor Authentication, session controls, and device-level security recommendations — but the User remains the first line of defence against credential compromise.

If a User believes their account has been accessed without authorisation, or that their credentials may have been compromised, they should change their password immediately, enable Multi-Factor Authentication if it is not already enabled, and contact us through the channels in Section 22. CareHive is not liable for unauthorised access that results from User negligence, except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

10. Data, Privacy, and Cookies

CareHive’s handling of personal data is governed by the CareHive Privacy Policy, and the use of cookies and similar technologies on our web platforms is governed by the CareHive Cookie Policy. Where the Services are provided to a Customer (such as an Active Ageing Centre or partner organisation) that determines the purposes and means of processing on behalf of others, the relationship is also governed by the CareHive Data Processing Agreement.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy and consent to the data handling described in them. The order of precedence between these documents and these Terms is set out in Section 19.

11. Service Availability

CareHive aims to provide reliable, continuous Services, but we do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times. Service interruptions may occur for reasons including (without limitation):

  • Planned maintenance — we will provide advance notice of significant planned maintenance windows where reasonably practicable.
  • Unplanned outages — caused by failures in cloud infrastructure, third-party services, or our own systems, which we will work to resolve as quickly as is reasonably practicable.
  • Network and device limitations — connectivity issues on the User’s network, or limitations of the User’s device, that prevent the Services from operating as designed.
  • Third-party events — outages or changes affecting providers on which the Services depend.

Where the Services are made available under a paid plan that includes a specific service-level commitment, that commitment is set out in the order documentation governing the paid plan and prevails over the general statements in this Section.

12. Fees and Paid Features

As of the effective date of these Terms, the core CareHive Services are provided to individual Users without charge. CareHive may, in the future, introduce paid features, paid plans, or organisation-level subscriptions for partners such as Active Ageing Centres. Where a User chooses to subscribe to a paid feature or plan, the following will apply:

  • Order documentation — the specific fees, billing cycle, payment methods, and any service-level commitments will be set out in the order documentation presented at the point of purchase, which forms part of these Terms for the purposes of that subscription.
  • Taxes — fees are stated exclusive of any applicable goods-and-services tax or other taxes, which the User is responsible for paying in addition to the stated fees.
  • Refunds — refunds are governed by the order documentation and by applicable consumer protection law. CareHive will not unreasonably withhold a refund where one is contractually due.
  • Non-payment — a paid plan that is not paid for may be suspended or terminated in accordance with Section 13, with reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure where the non-payment appears to be inadvertent.

13. Suspension and Termination

Either CareHive or the User may end the relationship created by these Terms, in the circumstances and on the conditions set out below. Termination has consequences for the Services and for any data held; those consequences are addressed in Section 14.

13.1 Termination by the User

Users may discontinue their use of the Services at any time, by deleting their account through the in-product controls or by contacting us through the channels in Section 22. We honour account deletion requests in accordance with the retention provisions of the Privacy Policy.

13.2 Suspension or Termination by CareHive

CareHive may suspend or terminate a User’s access to the Services where:

  • Material breach of these Terms — the User has materially breached these Terms and, where the breach is capable of cure, has not cured it within a reasonable time after we have given notice and an opportunity to do so.
  • Risk to other users or to the platform — we have reasonable grounds to believe that the User’s continued access poses an immediate risk to the safety, security, or wellbeing of other Users, Service Recipients, or the platform itself, in which case suspension may be applied without prior notice for as long as the risk persists.
  • Legal or regulatory requirement — we are required by law, court order, or regulator direction to suspend or terminate access.
  • Discontinuation of the Services — we are discontinuing the Services or the relevant feature in the User’s region, in which case we will give as much notice as is reasonably practicable and will assist Users in migrating their data.

CareHive will not exercise these rights for arbitrary commercial reasons unrelated to the User’s conduct, the safety of the platform, or applicable law.

14. Effect of Termination

On termination of a User’s relationship with CareHive, however terminated:

  • Access ceases — the User’s right to access and use the Services ends, and any licences granted to the User under these Terms are revoked, except as required to give effect to Sections that survive termination under Section 21.
  • Data is handled per the Privacy Policy — personal data is retained, returned, or deleted in accordance with the CareHive Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the CareHive Data Processing Agreement.
  • Outstanding obligations remain — obligations that have accrued before termination, including any unpaid fees and any indemnities that have crystallised, remain owing.

15. Intellectual Property

All proprietary technology, software, source code, models, branding, trademarks, copyrights, and content associated with the Services are the exclusive property of CareHive Pte Ltd or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of those rights to any User.

Subject to the User’s compliance with these Terms, CareHive grants each User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for the User’s personal, non-commercial care-coordination purposes (or, in the case of organisational Users such as Active Ageing Centres, for the organisation’s lawful eldercare operations). Users may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the Services or any part of them, except to the extent that the law expressly permits despite a contractual restriction.

Content provided by Users — including caregiver notes, manually entered health information, and account configuration — remains the User’s content. By providing such Content to the Services, the User grants CareHive a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, transmit, and display the Content as necessary to operate and improve the Services and to perform our obligations under these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

16. Limitation of Liability

This Section sets the financial boundaries of the relationship under these Terms. Some of these limits do not apply where local law does not allow them; nothing in this Section purports to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

  • Excluded categories — to the maximum extent permitted by Singapore law, CareHive is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, anticipated savings, goodwill, or data, however arising and whether or not foreseeable.
  • Aggregate cap — in no event will CareHive’s total cumulative liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Services exceed the greater of (a) the total amount paid by the User to CareHive for the Services in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred Singapore dollars (SGD 100). For Users of free Services, the cap defaults to (b).
  • Liabilities not excluded — nothing in these Terms excludes or limits CareHive’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under Singapore law.

These limits apply in aggregate across all claims arising under or in connection with these Terms, and they apply to the benefit of CareHive and its directors, officers, employees, and agents.

17. Indemnification

Users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CareHive and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from or in connection with:

  • The User’s breach of these Terms — including any breach of the lawful-use obligations in Section 8.
  • Misuse of the Services — by the User or by anyone permitted by the User to use the User’s account.
  • Unauthorised data sharing — the User’s sharing of a Service Recipient’s data without the legal authority to do so, or the User’s misrepresentation of the basis on which they are acting under Section 4.
  • Content provided by the User — to the extent the Content infringes third-party rights or violates applicable law.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that the relevant claim arises from CareHive’s own negligence, wilful misconduct, or breach of these Terms. CareHive will provide the User with prompt notice of any claim subject to this indemnity, will allow the User to control the defence of the claim with counsel of the User’s choosing reasonable to CareHive, and will provide reasonable cooperation at the User’s expense.

18. Changes to These Terms

We review these Terms at least annually and revisit them whenever a material change to the Services, applicable law, or the policies referenced in these Terms makes it necessary. Where we make a material change — one that affects the rights of Users, alters our obligations, or expands the activities for which Users are responsible — we will:

  • Update the Effective Date on this page so the change is dated and traceable.
  • Notify Users in advance through in-app notice and, where the change is significant, by email to the address associated with the User’s account, with at least thirty (30) days’ notice before the change takes effect, save where the change is required to be implemented sooner by law or to address an urgent security or safety issue.
  • Give Users a meaningful choice — if the User does not agree to the updated Terms, the User may discontinue use of the Services in accordance with Section 13.1 before the change takes effect, without penalty.

Continued use of the Services after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Non-material changes — such as clarifications and minor wording corrections — are reflected in the published version without separate notice.

19. Relationship to Other Policies; Entire Agreement

These Terms are part of a documentation set that also includes the CareHive Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and (where applicable to a Customer relationship) the Data Processing Agreement. Where a question arises that is addressed in more than one of these documents, the order of precedence is as follows, with the higher document prevailing in the event of conflict only to the extent of the conflict:

  • Order documentation — for paid features or organisational subscriptions, the order documentation governing the specific subscription prevails over these Terms on matters of pricing, scope, and any agreed service-level commitments.
  • Data Processing Agreement — prevails on matters of personal data processing, sub-processor engagement, breach notification, and audit, where the User is a Customer in the meaning of the DPA.
  • These Terms — govern the general use of the Services and the relationship between CareHive and the User.
  • Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy — describe how personal data and cookies are handled, and apply alongside these Terms to those matters.

These Terms, together with the documents referenced in this Section, constitute the entire agreement between the User and CareHive in respect of the Services, and supersede any prior representations, communications, or agreements relating to the same subject matter.

20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of Singapore, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms through direct discussion before commencing any formal proceeding.

Where a dispute cannot be resolved through good-faith discussion within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) for the time being in force. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, in English, with the seat of the arbitration in Singapore. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, save that either party may seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its rights pending arbitration. Nothing in this Section restricts a User’s rights under applicable consumer protection law to bring a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction where that right cannot lawfully be displaced by an arbitration agreement.

21. General Provisions

21.1 Survival

The provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive termination shall survive, including (without limitation) Section 5 (Medical Disclaimer), Section 14 (Effect of Termination), Section 15 (Intellectual Property), Section 16 (Limitation of Liability), Section 17 (Indemnification), Section 19 (Relationship to Other Policies), Section 20 (Governing Law), and this Section 21.

21.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent of the parties.

21.3 No Waiver

A failure or delay by either party to exercise any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or any other right, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing.

21.4 Assignment

Users may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under these Terms without CareHive’s prior written consent. CareHive may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or to an affiliate, provided that the assignee is bound by terms no less protective of Users than these Terms.

21.5 Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, pandemic, government action, internet or telecommunications failures, or third-party service outages. The affected party shall use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as the cause is removed.

21.6 Notices

Notices to CareHive under these Terms must be sent by email to legal@carehive.ai, with a copy to support@carehive.ai. Notices to a User will be given by email to the address associated with the User’s account or by in-product notice. Notices are deemed received on the day they are sent, except where the day is not a business day in Singapore, in which case they are deemed received on the next business day.

21.7 No Agency

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between CareHive and any User. Neither party has authority to bind the other or to make representations on the other’s behalf.

22. Contact Information

Questions about these Terms, requests for support, or notices given under these Terms should be directed to CareHive using the contact details below. Privacy-specific matters, including the exercise of rights under the Privacy Policy, should be directed to the Data Protection Officer through the channels set out in the Privacy Policy.
