1. Acceptance of Terms; Applicability of Terms



By using the Services, including by using this Site and the Apps, you consent and agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (https:/ikona.health/privacy), which is incorporated into and made a part of these Terms.



These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you, as a user of the Services, and IKONA. If you have been authorized to, and are helping another person visit our Services, these Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between both the helper and the person being helped and IKONA. Your access to, and use of the Services is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all users of the Services, including users who are also contributors of content, information, and other materials or services in the Services. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, do not access or use any portion of the Services in any manner, for any purpose. 


Your use of any Services with which we may be affiliated may be subject to additional terms, including terms and conditions provided by a third party. If you do not agree with all of these additional terms and conditions, do not access or use any Services subject to such additional terms. If you accept these Terms, but later decide that you want to terminate your account, please contact Customer Support at support@ikona.health, and we will verify and complete your request. 


2. Our Services



In order to receive our Services, you must register as more fully described below in the section entitled “Registration.” The Services are available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old. You represent and warrant that you have the legal ability (capacity) to enter into a binding contract and are at least 18 years old, and that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful. IKONA may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change our eligibility criteria at any time for any reason. This provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the Services is revoked in such jurisdictions. 


As part of the Services, we have designed programs to provide information and content related to wellness, health, and lifestyle. We encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider before commencing the Services. You represent that you are in good enough health to begin these Services. The Services require your active engagement and participation. You understand that, despite your efforts, individual users results will vary for a variety of reasons and IKONA cannot and does not guarantee that you will achieve your health or lifestyle goals.


3. No Medical Advice



OUR SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT AND INFORMATION OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. WE ARE NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE PROVIDER. RATHER, THE SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO ENABLE REGISTERED USERS TO ACCESS WEB-BASED EDUCATION AND CONTENT AND RESOURCES IN THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPACE. RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF IKONA, IKONA EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OR OTHER VISITORS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. 


Certain Services may give registered users access to our employees, consultants, and other representatives, including facilitators and licensed and non-licensed professionals, who with your consent may communicate with you by web, telephone, SMS, or email. Such employees, consultants, and other representatives provide only educational services and resources, and do not provide medical care, medical advice, patient-specific recommendations, diagnosis, or treatment. 

Certain Services include programs offering registered users the opportunity to participate in online and virtual group discussions, question and answer sessions and coaching sessions facilitated by both licensed professionals and professionals who are not licensed for an additional fee (collectively, “Virtual Group and Coaching Programs”). Our Learning Portal and Help Center pages include groups and communities (collectively, “IKONA Communities”) that offer users the opportunity to participate in free online group discussions, online communities, and question and answer sessions. IKONA Communities may be unfacilitated, or may be facilitated by both licensed facilitators and professionals who are not licensed. Virtual Group and Coaching Programs and IKONA Communities are intended to provide additional health and wellness content. All services, content, and information on, in, or through Virtual Group and Coaching Programs and IKONA Communities are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical care, diagnosis, or treatment. Such facilitators do not provide patient-specific recommendations or treatment.


IKONA does not employ or contract with physicians to provide medical care to you. IKONA does not offer medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment or engage in the practice of medicine or the provision of medical devices. Only your physician or other healthcare provider can do that. You should not change your treatment or care plan, medication, or therapy based on information, advice, or materials you receive through the Services or from our employees, agents, or consultants (including program facilitators). Use of our Services and consultation with our employees, agents, or consultants are supplemental to any treatment or care provided by your physician or other healthcare provider and do not replace regular medical visits with your physician or other healthcare provider. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding your medical condition or the use (or frequency) of any treatment, medication, or medical device. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read, viewed, or heard in connection with our Services. To the extent you receive medical care consequent to the Services, all diagnosis and treatment by any medical professional is separate from and unrelated to the Services provided by IKONA.


If you have an existing mental health condition, you should speak with your physician or other healthcare provider before starting use of any of our Services.

THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUPPORT OR CARRY EMERGENCY OR TIME-CRITICAL CALLS OR COMMUNICATIONS TO ANY TYPE OF HOSPITAL, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, MEDICAL CARE UNIT, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF EMERGENCY OR TIME-CRITICAL SERVICE. 


If in our opinion we perceive there to be a life-threatening emergency involving any user of our Services, we may, but are not obligated by reason of your use of our Services to, take such actions as we in our sole discretion determine to be reasonable, necessary, or appropriate, including contacting such law enforcement, hospital, and/or medical personnel (“Emergency Responders”) as we in our sole discretion determine to be appropriate, and providing your personal information to such Emergency Responders. You understand and agree that, in the event that we take any action with respect to securing Emergency Responders, you, and not IKONA or any of our affiliates or representatives, will be solely responsible for payment of any and all medical services rendered in connection with any treatment arising therefrom. You further understand and agree that IKONA may, but has no obligation to, monitor any of the Services or any user communications made on or through any of the Services or any IKONA Communities (including but not limited to communications through Virtual Group and Coaching Programs and comments and posts made in any IKONA Communities), and that IKONA has no obligation to contact any Emergency Responders under any circumstances. IKONA shall have no liability of any nature whatsoever for monitoring or not monitoring any of the Services or any user communications on or through any Services or any of our IKONA Communities, or for contacting or not contacting Emergency Responders or any other authorities under any circumstances.

18. Governing Law



A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.



These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York, New York, using the English language in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. The prevailing party in the arbitration or any court proceeding hereunder shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and all other expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in the Southern District of New York or in a state court in New York, New York. Use of the Services is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation, this Section.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right or remedy provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights or remedies hereunder.
