User Terms of Service

Welcome to the I V Y Labs, Inc. ("Ivy," "we" or "us") website located at https://www.talktoivy.com (the "Site"). Please read these Terms of Service (the "Terms") carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our platform that connects individuals who are seeking behavioral health and wellness services and advice ("Users") with behavioral health and wellness professionals ("Therapists") who provide such behavioral health and wellness services and advice ("Therapist Services"). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site and our platform and services are collectively called the "Services."

Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, you may not use the Services.

Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we'll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications. It's important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you can't use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Who May Use the Services

Registration and Your Information

If you want to access and use the Services, you'll have to create an account ("Account") via the Site. When you register for an Account, we'll ask you for certain information such as your name, email address, a description of your health and wellness goals, and other necessary information. We'll use this information to help arrange introductory calls with different Therapists.

It's important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don't, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won't disclose your Account password to anyone and you'll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You're responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.

The Services

Through the Services, we provide a platform that will enable you to interact with Therapists, including the ability to meet, communicate and potentially select a Therapist that meets your behavioral health and wellness needs. Our Services may also include helping you arrange an introductory call with Therapists. Once you choose a Therapist, all communications, scheduling and payment arrangements are solely between you and your Therapist and will occur outside of the Services.

While Ivy presents Therapists for your selection and may request Therapists provide evidence of their qualifications and proper licensing, you assume full responsibility for your Therapist selection and for choosing a qualified Therapist. Ivy does not select, approve, or otherwise endorse any particular Therapist. Ivy makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee as to the professional ability, experience, competence, professional qualifications, certifications of any Therapist. Ivy does not guarantee that you will successfully find a suitable or competent Therapist using our Services.

We do not take part in the interaction between you and the Therapist except to arrange initial introduction calls. You understand and agree that we do not have control over the quality, timing, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect whatsoever of the services offered or actually delivered by the Therapist, nor of the integrity, responsibility or any of the actions of the Therapists. We make no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, and accuracy of the services provided by Therapists and we expressly disclaim any liability that may result from the provision or use of this information. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IVY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY RELIANCE ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE THERAPIST. SUCH RELIANCE SHALL BE SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

No Referral, Professional Services or Advice; No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Ivy is not a referral service and Ivy does not accept payments from Therapists in exchange for referrals.

Ivy provides the Services for informational purposes only. We solely provide a platform so that you may have introductory calls with Therapists. THE SERVICES DO NOT CONTAIN OR CONSTITUTE, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS, PROFESSIONAL, PSYCHOTHERAPY, COUNSELING, MEDICAL OR HEALTH ADVICE OR OPINION OF ANY KIND AND THE SERVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL OR MEDICAL ADVICE, OPINION, DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT OF ANY KIND. THE INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON WHEN MAKING MEDICAL DECISIONS, OR TO DIAGNOSE OR TREAT A MEDICAL OR HEALTH CONDITION. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY INTRODUCTORY CALLS WITH THERAPISTS, DOES NOT CREATE A DOCTOR-PATIENT OR THERAPIST-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND IVY.

The Services are not intended to be used for medical emergencies. If you believe you are having a medical emergency, contemplating suicide or harming yourself or others or are otherwise in danger ("Medical Emergencies"), you must immediately call 911. You agree that you will not use Ivy for any Medical Emergencies.

We reserve the right to deny you or any User access to the Services for any reason or no reason, including if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such User has certain medical conditions, Medical Emergencies or are otherwise not suitable to access the Services.

Dispute Resolution

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Ivy agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an "IP Protection Action"). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You agree that you and Ivy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Ivy otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at https://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820 and a separate form for California residents at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Ivy otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Ivy submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator's Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Ivy will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Ivy will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Changes to Terms or Services" section above, if we change this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@talktoivy.com within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of Ivy's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Ivy in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms

You agree that in you are an independent contractor and nothing in these Terms will be construed as establishing an employment or agency relationship between you and Ivy. You have no authority to bind Ivy by contract or otherwise.

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Ivy and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Ivy and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Ivy's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Ivy may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Ivy under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: by Ivy (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Ivy's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Ivy. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
