Permission for apps from parents?

[Jawloms]

Hi All,

 

No idea which forum to put this in, so feel free to move it.

 

One of my technicians has been reading the terms and conditions on an app which a primary school near us use. It says;

 

CREATING AN ACCOUNT ON TICKLE APP AND UTILIZING ANY FUNCTION ATTACHED TO SUCH ACCOUNT ON TICKLE APP (THEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS: “ACCOUNT SERVICE”) IS FORBIDDEN, IF WITHOUT CONSENT FROM ONE’S PARENTS, FOR ALL PERSON THAT ARE BELOW THIRTEEN (13) YEARS OF AGE.

 

What do any of you do about getting parents' permission? Do you get it, or do you believe this to be covered by the "I give my child permission to go on the Internet" clause? Do you notify the parents' as to which apps their child may be using? All thoughts appreciated.

 

Thank you
