- 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 are ultimately in control of how much information is accessible to us and may exercise such control by adjusting your privacy settings on such third party service. Company has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the services, content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed by any such third party.
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.

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.

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.

Each Application Provider may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading mobile applications from such store. You agree to comply with, and your license to use our application is conditioned upon your compliance with, such Application Provider terms and conditions. To the extent such other terms and conditions from such Application Provider are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in these Terms of Use apply.

- 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.
- Miscellaneous
18.1 Electronic Contracting; Copyright Dispute

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.
18.3 Limitation of Claims
No action arising under or in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the form, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose; actions brought thereafter are forever barred.
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.
18.5 Governing Law; Language
This Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of New York as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within New York, without giving effect to the state’s conflicts of law statute. This Agreement and all documents referenced herein were drafted in the English language and any translations thereof shall not be binding on either party to the extent they conflict with the English versions.
18.6 Entire Agreement; Waiver
This Agreement and any supplemental terms, policies, rules and guidelines posted through the Services, constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all previous written or oral agreements. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
18.7 Headings

18.8 Assignment
We may assign this Agreement at any time, including, without limitation, to any parent, subsidiary, or any affiliated company, or as part of the sale to, merger with, or other transfer of our business or any assets to another entity. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense this Agreement to anyone else and any attempt to do so in violation of this section shall be null and void.
18.9 Eligibility
You must be 18 years of age or over, or the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction if that age is greater than 18 years of age, to create a Company Account or use the Services on your own. Those under the age of 18 may not use the Services.
