  1. Authorization and Acknowledgment

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHOOSING YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DETERMINING WHETHER THE APPLICABLE PROFESSIONAL IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS BASED ON SPECIALTY, EXPERIENCE, QUALIFICATION, LICENSES AND OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD IMPACT YOUR CARE.

Company or its designee takes certain limited steps to verify that professionals participating in the Services hold certain active licenses, certifications or registrations required by law to practice the specialties of the services offered by them through the Services. 

While all qualified providers are eligible to use our Services, Company’s lists of professionals are not exhaustive. Some professionals listed through the Services enter into contracts with us, and may pay us fees in order to be marketed through or to use the Services. If you book an appointment with a licensed professional through the Services, Company may receive payment as a result.

To help you find professionals who may be suitable for your needs, we will provide you with lists and/or profiles of professionals. These results are based on information that you provide to us, such as geographical location and specialty and/or services they provide. They may also be based on other criteria. Please note that there may be other professionals in your area who are not available through Company.

Company (a) does not employ, refer, recommend, or endorse any professionals, (b) does not make any representations or warranties with respect to these professionals or the quality of the services they may provide, and (c) is not responsible for ensuring that information (including credentials) a professional provides about himself or herself is accurate or up-to-date.

You agree not to share you Credentials with anyone else. As part of this Agreement, you may not share Credentials or a Company Account with any other individual or group. Each person using our Services must create their own individual Company Account. 

7.2 Fees; Your Responsibilities Generally

You are responsible for ensuring that all information that you provide to Company is accurate and up-to-date, including your insurance information. 

You are responsible for all use of the Services and for all use of your Credentials, including use by others to whom you have given your Credentials. You may only use the Services for lawful, non-commercial purposes. You may not use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or networks, or interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the Services. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any of the Services, user accounts, or computer systems or networks, through hacking, password mining or any other means. You may not accumulate or index, directly or indirectly, any Content or portion of the Services for any purpose whatsoever.

If you are a Member, you are responsible for payment of our fees. Our fees are displayed on our website, are incorporated herein by this reference, and are subject to change from time to time. We will not increase our fees for existing Members during their membership. Members will be subject to the fees in effect at the start of their membership. Should you cancel and rejoin as a Member, your subsequent membership will be considered a new membership. 

We make no representation regarding the insurance eligibility or coverage of any Services accessed through our website or as a result of telehealth visits with professionals. Should you believe that any services are covered by your insurance, you may request, and Company may provide, a superbill which may enable you to seek reimbursement for covered services from your insurance plan. In the event that Company elects to directly submit claims to insurance plans for payment in the future, you may elect to have claims submitted to your insurance plan on your

behalf. Company makes no representations or warranties about the availability of insurance billing or superbill services or about your eligibility for coverage. 

For California Residents Only: If a registered dietitian or other professional licensed in the State of California advertised through our website determines, after consultation with you, that their services are not appropriate for you or if you elect not to receive telehealth services from such professional and you request a refund for such services, we will issue a refund of that portion of your fee equal to the amount attributed to the telehealth services the subject of the refund, based on our pricing with that professional. Currently, this may result in a one-time refund to you of $50-$75 and an opportunity to cancel your membership for future services.

    1. Indemnification

    Upon a request by us, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company Parties from all liabilities, claims, damages (actual and consequential), demands, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that arise from or are related to (a) your use of the Services; or (b) the violation of this Agreement and any other Company policy or standard posted on our website; or (c) the violation of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity; or (d) by any person using your Credentials without authorization. The foregoing indemnification obligation does not apply to liabilities, claims and expenses arising as a result of our own gross negligence or intentional misconduct. 

    1. Arbitration

    Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully, because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Company and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Company. Both you and Company acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of any dispute arising out of relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms of Use, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you as a third-party beneficiary hereof.

     17.1 Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement

    The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Rockland County, New York. The arbitration will proceed in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract

    disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. 

     17.2 Small Claims Court; Infringement

    Either you or Company may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Rockland County, New York or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any 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.

     17.3 Waiver of Jury Trial

    YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Company are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Company over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

     17.4 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions

    ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Company is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.

     17.5 Opt-out

    You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to info@pregappetit.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.

     17.6 Exclusive Venue

    If you send the opt-out notice in Section 17.6, and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Company to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and Company agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Rockland County, New York, or the federal district in which that county falls.

    17.7 Severability

    If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Company.

    By voluntarily providing your cell phone number to Company, you agree that Company may contact you by telephone, SMS, or MMS messages that we think may be of interest to you at that phone number, which may include the use of automated dialing technology to text you at the cell phone number you provided, and you hereby consent to receiving such communications for transactional, operational, or informational purposes. Message and data rates from your mobile telephone service provider may apply and are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by your provider. You can opt out of receiving text messages at any time by adjusting your notification settings in your account. Note that opting out of receiving all texts may impact your use of the Services.

    If you change or deactivate the phone number you provided to Company, you have an affirmative obligation to update your account information and the phone number(s) attached to your account to prevent us from inadvertently communicating with anyone who acquires any phone number(s) previously attributed to you, and any new phone number(s) you attach to your account may receive Company’s standard SMS messages unless you also unsubscribe via the above procedures.

     18.4 Severability

    In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired. Further, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a provision that comes closest to the intention of the parties that underlie the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, except to the extent no such provision is valid, legal and enforceable, in which case such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be limited or eliminated to the

    minimum extent necessary so that the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
