These Terms & Conditions are written in the English language. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any translated versions of these Terms & Conditions. To the extent any translated versions of these Terms & Conditions conflict with the English language version, the English language version of these Terms & Conditions shall control.

Please carefully read these Terms & Conditions before using our Services. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by the Terms & Conditions, including the Binding Arbitration Clause and Class Action Waiver described in Section IX, and the Privacy Policy1.

The headings used herein are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms & Conditions.
Our Services are not intended for use in an emergency. If you are thinking about suicide, are considering taking actions that may cause harm to you or to others, feel that you or any other person may be in any danger, or are experiencing any medical emergency, please immediately call the applicable emergency service numbers and notify relevant authorities. You acknowledge, confirm, and agree that the Sites are not designed for use in emergencies or for the diagnosis or treatment of serious mental, behavioral, or substance abuse conditions.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any User or Therapist account and your use of the Services in our sole discretion.

ZENCARE SOLELY OFFERS AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR THERAPISTS AND USERS TO CONNECT ONLINE AND FOR USERS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH USER WOULD LIKE TO ENGAGE ANY THERAPIST. ZENCARE DOES NOT EMPLOY, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THERAPISTS. ZENCARE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY THERAPIST OR USER.

ZENCARE CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY PROFILE.

ACCORDINGLY, ANY THERAPY SERVICES OBTAINED BY A USER OR PROVIDED BY A THERAPIST THROUGH THE SITES WILL BE OBTAINED AT SUCH USER’S OWN RISK. NOTHING STATED, POSTED, OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES IS INTENDED TO BE, AND MUST NOT BE TAKEN TO BE, THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE OR THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE.
The Sites are not intended for diagnosis, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you, and you should disregard any such drug treatment advice if delivered through the Sites. You are advised to exercise a high level of care and caution using the Sites.
You agree, confirm and acknowledge that you are aware that the Services are not a substitute for a face-to-face session by a licensed qualified professional. You should never rely on or make health or well-being decisions purely based on the Sites or any interactions or information herein or hereon.

If you rely on any Content (as defined below) listed on the Sites, you do so solely at your own risk.
Even though we take steps to verify the information provided to us by the Therapists, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of such information, including medical degrees, licenses, certification, credentials, or background. We do not recommend or endorse any Therapist, nor do we make any representation or warranty with respect to any such information or the quality of the services they may provide, and when or if you engage with a Therapist, you do so at your own risk.

If you are a User, you may engage with the Sites without providing Personal Information. However, if you would like to send a message to, or book a phone consultation with, a Therapist on the Sites, you may be asked for Personal Information such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, and type of insurance, which will be delivered to the Therapist. By booking a phone consultation or sending a message through Zencare’s form using the message button, you understand that your message will be sent by email, which is not a secure means of communication.
If you are a Therapist, you agree to work with Zencare to create an online profile (“Profile”). Therapists will provide Zencare with information such as first and last name, educational background, and professional statement, and a Zencare representative will create a Profile on the Sites and update information on the Profile as requested going forward. Profiles will be made publicly available via the Sites. A Therapist may not have more than one (1) active Profile and each Therapist agrees to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. You agree not to disclose your username or password to your Profile or account to any third party and take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your respective Profile or account. Therapists shall immediately notify Zencare of any unauthorized use of a Profile. Zencare reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Profile and terminate a Therapist’s account and access to the Sites and the Services for any reason, in its sole discretion.
We have no control over and cannot guarantee the availability of any Therapist at any particular time or guarantee a particular Therapist’s office hours. We will not be liable for cancelled or otherwise unfulfilled appointments or any injury resulting therefrom, or for any other injury resulting from the use of the Services whatsoever. Users are strongly advised to perform their own investigation prior to selecting a Therapist by making confirming telephone calls to the appropriate licensing authorities to verify listed credentials, education, and insurance coverage, and to further verify information about a particular Therapist by confirming with the Therapist’s office, the medical association relative to the Therapist’s specialty and the Therapist’s state medical board. Users hereby acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the assistance that the Services provided to Users in locating Therapists, the ultimate decision to engage the services of a Therapist remains solely with the User, and each User hereby agrees to assume any risk inherent in utilizing the Services and/or deciding whether or not to actually engage, and use the services of, any Therapist listed on the Sites.

This insurance information is provided by the Therapist to Zencare and may be changed at the Therapist’s discretion from time to time.

- GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
All matters relating to the Sites and the Services and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Georgia or any other jurisdiction). Subject to Section XXII, below, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, the Sites or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Georgia in each case located in the City of Atlanta and County of Fulton.

- ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Agreement to Arbitration; Class Waiver: You and we agree, except as provided below regarding small claims court proceedings, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Sites, the Services and the Content, including, but not limited to, our Privacy Policy and/or our privacy practices generally, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE TERMS, AND THAT YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
Pre-Filing Mediation. In the event of a dispute, prior to initiating arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send to the other a written Notice of Claim (“Notice”). If you are the claimant, the Notice to us must be emailed to [email protected]. If we are the claimant, the Notice must be sent to the address (email or physical) we have on file for you in your account, and you agree that you are responsible for updating such address. For purposes of clarity, general notices related to the Services that do not pertain to the initiation of arbitration may be posted on the Sites without direct or individual notice to you. You agree that you will be deemed to have received any notice sent in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. Following receipt of the Notice, each party agrees to negotiate with the other in good faith about the claim. If the claim is not resolved to the satisfaction of the claimant within sixty (60) days after Notice is provided, the claimant may pursue the claim in arbitration or file a claim in small claims court, as appropriate.
Additional Arbitration Provisions:
(a) Settlement Offers: During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
(b) Initiating a Claim: The form required to initiate an arbitration can be printed or downloaded from www.adr.org. Alternatively, you may contact the arbitration administrator by calling 1-800-778-7879 or writing to the American Arbitration Association, 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271.
(c) Fees for Initiating Arbitration: If you are required to pay a filing fee to initiate arbitration, after Zencare receives notice of the initiation of arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee at the address provided in the Notice, unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000.
(d) Applicable Rules; Administrator: The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or writing to the American Arbitration Association, 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
(e) Location of Hearing: Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Fulton, Georgia. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree you may choose whether the arbitration will be 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 Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
(f) Class Waiver: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable as applied to any claim asserted by any individual, then the entirety of the arbitration provision set forth herein shall be null and void.
(g) Injunctive Relief Limitation: The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
(h) Small Claims Procedure Alternative: Notwithstanding the foregoing binding arbitration procedure, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (provided the claim otherwise qualifies for such a program) as an alternative to proceeding with arbitration.
