Last Updated: Aug 20, 2024
The following terms of service (the “Service Provider Terms”) govern the access and use by any therapist or other person (each a “Service Provider”, also referred to in these Service Provider Terms as “you” or “your”) providing support through our digital assist tools (the “Services”) or by means of Therachat’s technological platform (the “Therachat Platform”) through which a Service Provider offers in-between or post therapy support Services to any other person or persons (the “Client” or “Clients”)
These Terms are important and affect your legal rights, so please read them carefully. Note that these Terms contain a mandatory arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes.
The Services are offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of Terms contained herein. Certain features, services or tools of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted with those features and are a part of these Terms. Your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully and keep a copy of them for your reference.
PRIVACY
Your use of Therachat is subject to our Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs Therachat and informs Users of our data collection practices. Please read the Therachat Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your personal information. The Therachat Privacy Policy is incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms. You explicitly consent to the collection, hosting, use, disclosure, and other processing or handling of your personal information (including sharing data with third party providers) as described in the Therachat Privacy Policy.
USE OF OUR PLATFORM
Therachat is intended only to allow service providers (i.e., therapists, coaches) to communicate with and solicit health information and responses to questions and other interactive prompts (“Data”) from their clients (either directly or by use of automated ‘bot’ functionality) in between therapy sessions and to alert therapists when specified keywords are used in such responses or other criteria are met. Therachat may also create and display reports which associate user data with other data to provide additional insights and analysis. You may not access or use Therachat for any other purpose. Therachat as a platform is not intended to diagnose any medical condition, provide decision support algorithms, psychiatric care, or automatically alert healthcare professionals or patients to potentially serious medical conditions. You are solely responsible for providing any data or other information recorded and stored by you on Therachat.
Access to Therachat is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide without notice. We will not, and neither will any of our partners, be liable if for any reason Therachat is unavailable at any time or for any period. We may make some parts of Therachat available only to Users who have registered an account with us. You may be required to register an account with us and submit certain personal data to access certain parts of Therachat.
You must be twenty-one (21) years or over in order to use Therachat and its services as a service provider (i.e. therapist, coaches).
Therachat is not designed for service recipient users under the age of 13. For all and every service recipient (i.e., client, patients) who is a legal minor (under 18 or legal dependent), it Service Provider's sole responsibility to obtain any and all corresponding parental/guardian informed consent according to local and state/provincial laws and regulations while using Therachat platform as an assist to the service rendered. Service Providers agree that it is the sole responsibility of the Service Provider and the corresponding client for such compliance, and hold Therachat harmless for any violation, neglect, or omission of such compliance and the damages therefore resulted.
ELIGIBILITY
By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (i) you are an individual who is at least twenty-one (21) years old as a service provider, (ii) you have not previously been suspended or removed from Therachat; and (iii) your registration and your use of Therachat is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

NOT A SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE
By signing up for the Therachat Platform, you agree and understand that our services are not a suicide prevention line. The User must immediately call the emergency service number or call the “Suicide Prevention Line” in the User’s province/state and country of residence if the user is thinking about suicide; if the User is considering taking actions that may cause harm to the User or to others; if the User feels that they or any other person may be in any danger or if the User has any medical emergency. If the user is in danger or in a crisis – please do not use this site and please contact the National Helpline at 988 or the text line via SMS to 988 or call 911 immediately.
SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES
You acknowledge, confirm, and agrees that the Therachat Platform is not designed for use on its own without an accompanying qualified service provider in instances of serious health and wellness issues on its own related to the areas of mental health and dietary consultations, advice, and drug therapy, diagnosis, treatment, or any suicide prevention. You further agree that upon signing up, the User indemnifies Therachat, its parent/subsidiary companies, its directors, advisors, officers, employees, and its independent contractors or anyone else that is associated with us of any responsibility for the User’s actions and or decisions. The User fully understands and fully assumes the responsibility of the User’s own actions and or decisions.
PAYMENT
Access to Therachat, or to certain features of Therachat, may require you to subscribe to one of the monthly/annual subscription plans. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are non-refundable, with the exception of family or medical emergency or in case of natural calamity and will be determined on a case-by-case basis to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If we change the fees of any of our advertised plans for Therachat, including by adding additional fees or charges, we will provide you a 60-days advance notice of those changes. If you do not accept the changes, we may discontinue providing access to Therachat to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have entered into a separate written agreement with us governing your use of Therachat which specifies the fees for Therachat, such fees will remain as provided therein for the term of that agreement. We will charge the payment method you specify at the time of purchase. You authorize us to charge all sums as described in these Terms, for the services you select, to that payment method. If you pay any fees with a credit card, we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. The services may include functionality for activating, updating or canceling recurring payments for periodic charges. If you activate or update recurring payments through Therachat, you authorize us to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. If you use Therachat to update or cancel any existing authorized one-time or recurring payment, it may take several business days for the update or cancellation to take effect. Please contact hello@therachat.io for any billing inquiries.
For promotional purposes, Therachat may occasionally authorize a trial period for 60-days or any other promotional offer for new or existing sign ups where subscription fee is waived during the trial period with the agreement that monthly fees commence immediately following the trial period. Therachat reserves the right to eliminate, extend, resume, and modify these trial periods without the obligation of advance notifications.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THERACHAT OR ANY OF ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND SUBSIDIARIES (“RELEASEES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. NEITHER THERACHAT NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE).

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If You have any dispute with Us, you agree that before taking any formal action, contact us at hello@therachat.io and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your email address) and allow sixty (60) days to pass, during which We will attempt to reach an amicable resolution of any issue with you.
MANDATORY ARBITRATION
BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THERACHAT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST THERACHAT, AND ALSO PRECLUDE YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST THERACHAT BY SOMEONE ELSE.
Arbitration Procedure. You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (i) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (ii) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Therachat, and not in a court of law. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of California. The Arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. In the event that any legal or equitable action, proceeding or arbitration arises out of or concerns these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney's fees. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims in regard to these Terms or any disputes arising as a result of these Terms, whether directly or indirectly, including Tort claims that are a result of these Terms. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be determined by the Arbitrator. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of these Terms.
Exceptions to Our Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. There are only two exceptions to this Agreement to arbitrate: (i) if either party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner violated or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party whose rights have been violated may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief without bond in any court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) each party will retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the jurisdiction of such courts.
Who Bears the Costs of Arbitration? You agree that payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to arbitrate. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous or without merit, you agree that Therachat is relieved of its obligation to reimburse you for any fees associated with the arbitration.
Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, You and We agree that if We make any amendment to this Agreement to arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Therachat prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and Therachat If you do not agree to these amended terms, you shall not access or use the Services, and the revised terms will not bind you.
Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. If the Agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the Agreement to arbitrate, as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or court order, you agree (except as otherwise provided by law) that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Therachat must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Sacramento County, California. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts situated in Sacramento County, California, for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
Arbitration Opt-Out Procedure. If you are a new user, you can choose to reject the agreement to arbitrate provision by emailing us an opt-out notice to hello@therachat.io (“Opt-Out Notice"). The Opt-Out Notice must be received no later than thirty (30) days after the date you accept the terms of this Agreement for the first time. If you are not a new user, you have until thirty (30) days after the posting of the new terms to submit an arbitration opt-out notice.

This procedure is the only way. You can Opt-Out of the Agreement to arbitrate. If you Opt-Out of the Agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of this Agreement and this Disputes Section will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Agreement to arbitrate does not affect any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with Therachat you waive certain rights. By agreeing to this agreement, you now irrevocably waive any right you may have (i) to a court trial (other than small claims court as provided above), (ii) to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding filed against Us and/ or related third parties, and (iii) to a trial by jury even if any arbitration is not required under this agreement. Statute of limitations for your claims.

Applicable Law.

Such body of law will apply regardless of Your residence or the location of where You use the Services.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Any arbitration or action under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, the arbitrator or judge may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
HARM FROM COMMERCIAL USE
