2.3 SUBSCRIPTIONS & PURCHASES

(a) Free Trials. You may have access to a free trial period of certain Products (“Free  Trial”). You are only allowed one Free Trial regardless of your subscription method. We  reserve the right to determine eligibility for Free Trials, which may vary based on factors  including the Product or Service you select and whether you have redeemed a Free  Trial previously. Free Trials automatically convert to a paid annual or monthly  subscription term after a certain period of time. You can disable the automatic  conversion by following the cancellation instructions set forth below prior to the date of  conversion. 

(b) Automatically Renewing Subscriptions. Members may access the Products or  Services via a subscription fee-based program (“Subscription”). Subscriptions may be  available via monthly or annual options (“Subscription Term”). For the purposes of our  monthly and annual subscriptions, a month constitutes 30 calendar days and a year  constitutes 365 calendar days. Subscriptions may be charged separately for Products  and Services. If you activate a Subscription, you authorize WellMe to periodically  charge, on a going-forward basis all accrued sums (“Subscription Fee”) on or before the  payment due date for the accrued sums. Your account will be charged automatically on  the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Product or Service  (“Subscription Billing Date”) for all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription  period. The Subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your Subscription or  WellMe terminates your Subscription or your account. 

(c) Subscription Cancellation. You may cancel your Subscription at any time, but you  must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next  periodic Subscription Fee to your account. See more about cancellation at Section 3.

(d) No Refunds on Subscriptions. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial  Subscription Term. WellMe will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change  your payment information) (“Payment Method”). You will only have access to the  Products and Services while your Subscription is active and subsisting.

(e) Subscription Methods. You may subscribe via: (i) purchasing a subscription to the  Products or Services from the Website or within the Apps where allowed by the App  marketplace partners, (ii) a Benefit Sponsor (as defined in Section 2.5) or (iii) a bundle  with one or more of our bundle subscription partners.

Your purchase will be subject to Apple’s applicable  payment policy, which also may not provide for refunds. If you purchase a subscription  through the Google Play store, the sale is final and we will not provide a refund. Your  purchase will be subject to Google’s applicable payment policy, which also may not  provide for refunds. If your Subscription is through a Benefit Sponsor or one or more of  our bundle subscription partners, additional terms and policies may apply, and your  Subscription may be paid for, partially paid for, or managed by the Benefit Sponsor or the bundle subscription partner.

(f) Gift Subscriptions. “Gift Subscriptions” are pre-paid memberships to the Products.  A person who purchases the gift is the “Giftor.” A person who receives and redeems a  Gift Subscription is the “Recipient.” Gift Subscriptions are paid for by a one-time upfront  payment. Once bought, the Giftor will receive an Order confirmation and receipt. The  Gift Subscription will be sent to the Recipient on the Giftor’s specified date with a gifting  code to redeem the Gift Subscription. Gifting codes can only be used once in the  country for which they were purchased and cannot be redeemed for cash, resold or  combined with any other offers, including free trial unless expressly stated otherwise.  Please note that gifting codes cannot be redeemed if the Recipient has already  purchased a subscription through the Apple iTunes Store,our iPhone application, the  Google Play Store, or our Android application. We will automatically bill the Payment  Method that the Giftor provided for any purchased Gift Subscriptions at the time of  purchase, not upon delivery to or redemption by Recipient. There are no refunds or  other credits for Gift Subscription that are not redeemed. WellMe will notify the  Recipient prior to the end of the Gift Subscription that the gift period is about to expire.  WellMe is not responsible if a Gift Subscription is lost, stolen or used without  permission

If we use a third-party payment processor, such as Stripe  or Zuora, their use of your personal information is subject to their applicable terms of  service and privacy policy. For Stripe, those terms are available  at https://stripe.com/legal and https://stripe.com/privacy.

While there is research that meditation can assist in the prevention and recovery  process for a wide array of conditions as well as in improving some performance and  relationship issues, WellMe makes no guarantees that the Products and Services  provide a physical or therapeutic benefit. There have been rare reports where people  with certain psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression have experienced  worsening conditions in conjunction with intensive meditation practice. People with  existing mental health conditions should speak with their health care providers before  starting a meditation practice.

If you access and engage with our mental health coaching service, you will work with  mental health coaches who will provide personal support, encouragement and  motivation (“Coaches”). The Coaches who provide the mental health coaching services  do not provide medical advice, professional clinical counseling or other clinical or  psychotherapy services. None of the advice provided by the Coaches, the Website or  the Products should be considered medical or clinical advice and none of such  information is intended as medical or clinical advice.

Do not  disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional advice because of  information you have read on our Website, Apps or received through a Coach. Do not  stop taking any medications without speaking to your physician or other healthcare  professional. The information provided in or through our Website, Apps or the Coaches  is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment  that can be provided by your doctor or physician, nurse, or any other medical or clinical  healthcare professional.

9.3 Ebb and AI Assumption of Risk 

If you access and engage with our AI Companion, Ebb, you will have access to an AI  chat feature that allows you to undertake self-reflection and self-exploration.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & BINDING ARBITRATION 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY REQUIRE  YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH WELLME, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN  WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM WELLME, INCLUDING A LIMITATION ON  THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO  PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH  RESPECT TO A CLAIM. FOR PROCEDURES RELATED TO MASS ARBITRATIONS,  PLEASE REVIEW SECTION G, BELOW.

(a) Jury Trial Waiver. Except where prohibited by law, you and WellMe waive any  constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a  jury. Rather, you and WellMe elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration.  In any litigation between you and WellMe over whether to vacate or enforce an  arbitration award, you and WellMe waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to  have the dispute be resolved by a judge.  

(b) Class Action Waiver. WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU  AND WELLME AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER  ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR  CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If,  however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor WellMe are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and  disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 15.9 below. 

(c) Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns without needing a 

formal legal case. Before filing a claim against WellMe, you agree to try to resolve the  dispute informally by contacting us via email to help@WellMe.com or at our mailing  address at WellMe, ATTN: Legal, 2417 Michigan Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404,  and providing us with your email address. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by  contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after  submission, you or WellMe may bring a formal proceeding subject to these Terms.

(d) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You and WellMe agree that all disputes  arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Products  and Services, including claims related to privacy or data security, will be resolved  through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and WellMe retain the  right: (1) to bring an individual action informally (as provided in section c above) or in  small claims court, or (2) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent  jurisdiction for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos,  trade secrets, or patents. All submissions to the arbitrator, the proceedings, and the  award shall be confidential, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings  relating to the arbitration or as otherwise required by law. 

(e) Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and  enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the  parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The then-current version of the AAA  Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) will govern the arbitration, except to the  extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The AAA Rules are available online at  www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted  by a single neutral arbitrator.  

If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party initiating the arbitration may choose whether  the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the  arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. In  the case of an in-person hearing, the proceedings will be conducted at a location which  is reasonably convenient for both parties with due consideration of the ability to travel  and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the  determination will be made by the arbitration institution. 

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those  fees set forth in the AAA Rules with the remainder paid by WellMe. If the arbitrator finds  that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration is frivolous,  unreasonable, groundless or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the  standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all  fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse WellMe for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under  the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the  arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential  findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The  arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement  of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either  party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. 

(f) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide the  jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any unconscionability challenge or other challenge  that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid.  The arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine the rights and liabilities,  if any, of you and WellMe. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or  joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant  motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the  authority to award all remedies available under Applicable Law, the arbitral forum's  rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an  individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is  final and binding upon you and WellMe. 

(g) Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations. These Additional Procedures for Mass  Arbitrations (in addition to the other provisions of this arbitration provision and the  applicable AAA Rules) shall apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar disputes are  asserted against WellMe or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are  otherwise coordinated (collectively "Mass Arbitration"). These Additional Procedures for  Mass Arbitrations are designed to lead to the streamlined and cost-effective resolution  of claims and to ensure that large volume filings do not impose unnecessary burdens or  impediments to the resolution and cost-effective adjudication of similar claims. They are  not intended to delay or deny access to arbitration. You understand, acknowledge, and  agree that Mass Arbitrations may delay resolution of your dispute. The parties agree that as part of initiating a Mass Arbitration, their counsel shall meet and confer in good  faith in an effort to resolve the disputes, streamline procedures, address the exchange  of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated, and conserve the  parties' and the AAA's resources. 

If at least one hundred (100) disputes are submitted as part of the Mass Arbitration,  counsel for each party shall each select fifty (50) disputes to be filed, assigned to  different arbitrators (no arbitrator shall shall be assigned more than 3 disputes) and to  proceed as cases in individual arbitrations. If a case is withdrawn before the issuance of  an arbitration award, another claim shall be selected to proceed as part of this process.  The remaining disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any  arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After this  initial set of proceedings, counsel for the parties shall participate in a global mediation  session with a retired federal or state court judge jointly selected by counsel in an effort  to resolve the remaining disputes, and WellMe shall pay the mediator's fee. If counsel  cannot agree on a mediator, one will be selected by the Arbitrator.

If at the end of the process described in the immediately preceding paragraph, twenty five (25) or more similar disputes have not been resolved, then the remaining disputes  shall be arbitrated subject to the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings  and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule. If fewer than twenty-five  (25) disputes remain, the remaining disputes shall proceed individually. 

(h) Enforceability. If any portion of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable or  unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from  these Terms and severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no  impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 14. 

(i) Opt-out. YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. If you do so,  neither you nor WellMe can force the other to arbitrate. To opt-out, you must notify  WellMe in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration  agreement. Your notice must include your name and mailing address, and the email  address you used to set up your WellMe account (if you have one), and an unequivocal  statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement. You must send your  opt-out notice to one of the following physical or email addresses: WellMe, ATTN:  Arbitration Opt-out, 2417 Michigan Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404; or 

ADR@WellMe.com. If you opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate, the opt-out shall not  waive or affect any other portion of these Terms

(j) Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination  of your relationship with WellMe.

15. GENERAL

15.1 ASSIGNMENT BY US

WellMe may transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms to any company, firm  or person at any time if it does not materially affect your rights under it. You may not  transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else. These Terms are  personal to you and no third party is entitled to benefit under these Terms except as set  out here.

15.2 INDEMNITY 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Products  and Services, and you will defend and indemnify WellMe, your employer, your health  plan, or provider (as applicable) and each of their respective officers, directors,  employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (together, the “WellMe Entities”) from and against any claim brought by a third party, and any related liability,  damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out  of or connected with: (a) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Products or  Services; (b) your violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty,  or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any Applicable Law; (c) your violation of  any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality,  other property, or privacy right; or (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third  party. The foregoing indemnification obligation is subject to a WellMe Entity promptly  informing you in writing of any such claim, demand, action, or suit; provided that any  failure to so inform you will not prejudice your obligation of indemnity, except to the  extent materially prejudiced thereby. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to  assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to  indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to  that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.

15.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE  WELLME ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,  SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES  FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS)  ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR  INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR ANY  MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER BASED ON  WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY  OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY WELLME ENTITY HAS  BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.  

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND TO THE FULLEST  EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE WELLME ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE  OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE PRODUCTS AND  SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,  TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU  HAVE PAID TO WELLME FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND  SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE  GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $10,000. 

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR AN ASSUMPTION OF  RISK, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION  OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN  THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL  ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF  THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER  PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL  APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

15.4 NO WAIVER

If we delay exercising or fail to exercise or enforce any right available to us under these  Terms, such delay or failure does not constitute a waiver of that right or any other rights  under these Terms. 

15.5 FORCE MAJEURE 

We will not be liable to you for any lack of performance, or the unavailability or failure, of  the Products and Services, or for any failure or delay by us to comply with these Terms,  where such lack, unavailability or failure arises from any cause beyond our reasonable  control.

15.6 NOTICES 

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all notices given by you to us must be given to  WellMe at help@WellMe.com. We may give notice to you at the e-mail address you  provide to us when you register, or in any of the ways specified in these Terms. Notice  will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on the Products  or when an e-mail or other electronic communication is sent. In proving the service of  any notice via email, it will be sufficient to prove that such email was sent to the  specified e-mail address of the addressee.

15.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT 

These Terms and any additional terms or policies expressly referred to in these Terms  constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede all previous oral or written  discussions, correspondence, negotiations, previous arrangement, understanding or  agreement between us relating to the Products and Services. We each acknowledge  that neither of us relies on, or will have any remedies in respect of, any representation  or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms  or the additional terms or policies expressly referred to in these Terms. Each of us  agrees that our only liability in respect of those representations and warranties that are  set out in this agreement (whether made innocently or negligently) will be for breach of  contract. Nothing in this Section limits or excludes any liability for fraud.

15.8 THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

A person who is not party to these Terms will not have any rights under or in connection  with these Terms, except as described in Section 11 (DMCA).

15.9 EXCLUSIVE VENUE 

To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court,  both you and WellMe agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the  Terms or the use of the Products and Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. If, however, that court would  lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all claims and disputes arising out of or  relating to the Terms or the use of the Products and Services will be litigated exclusively  in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. You and WellMe consent to  the personal jurisdiction of both courts.

15.10 CHOICE OF LAW 

The laws of California, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and  any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including  tort claims, except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law.
