Terms of Use

Last Updated: 6 June 2023

DO NOT USE THE SERVICES IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. In an emergency situation, please call 911 (for U.S. residents) or 999 or 111 (for U.K. residents), contact your doctor, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact your local crisis center.

Among other activities, the Services enable coordination and communication with, depending on need, an addiction recovery coach (for U.K. and U.S. residents), a counsellor (for U.S. residents), or a licensed healthcare provider (for U.S. residents). The Services do not replace your relationship with any physician.

THESE TERMS LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF CERTAIN DISPUTES AND, IF YOU ARE A U.S. RESIDENT, CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT BY A LAWSUIT. If you are a U.S. resident, this means that (i) you are giving up, and you waive, the right to have any such dispute decided in a court of law before a jury or a judge (except as set forth expressly in Section 14), and (ii) you are giving up, and you waive, the ability to pursue any such dispute in a class, consolidated, or representative action or proceeding. For more information, please see Sections 11, 12, 13, and 14 (for U.S. residents) or 15 (for U.K. residents).

1. Important Notices and Disclaimers; Privacy

Your Relationship with Pelago. DIGITAL THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND DIGITAL THERAPEUTICS LTD. ARE NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND DO NOT PROVIDE A MEDICAL DEVICE. Neither company provides any medical services, including via the Services. Instead, Digital Therapeutics, Inc. provides a technology platform for you to access a licensed healthcare provider who is employed or contracted with one of the Affiliated Practices (for U.S. residents) or other qualified professional (coaches and counsellors for U.S. residents and coaches for U.K. residents) who is employed or contracted with Digital Therapeutics, Inc. in the U.S. or Digital Therapeutics Ltd. in the U.K., and to obtain access to additional information, which you may or may not choose to utilize in planning your healthcare and wellness. You understand that by coordinating and consulting with the Affiliated Practices or their licensed healthcare providers through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Digital Therapeutics, Inc. or Digital Therapeutics Ltd.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Services may provide you with access to an addiction recovery coach or counsellor providing cognitive behavioral therapy (“CBT”) who will consult with you via telephone, video conference, chat, email, or other online tools. We reserve the right to change your coach or counsellor at any time. Our coaches and counsellors provide you with peer-to-peer support, encouragement, accountability, and practical tips to help overcome barriers to meeting your addiction recovery goals. ADDICTION RECOVERY COACHES AND COUNSELLORS DO NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE AND ARE NOT ACTING IN A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY. THEY DO NOT PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL ADVICE, CLINICAL SERVICES, AND DO NOT DIAGNOSE, TREAT, OR MANAGE ANY ILLNESS, DISEASE OR CONDITION OR HOLD THEMSELVES OUT AS BEING ABLE TO DO SO.

The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and your healthcare provider. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare practitioner regarding your medical condition or the use (or frequency) of any medication or medical device. Questions regarding any drug, device or treatment always should be directed to your healthcare provider. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read in connection with our services. We encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about your health or condition or experience any changes in your condition or health status.

Except for communications related to your specific health and wellness that you received from licensed healthcare providers who practice through the Affiliated Practices, THE INFORMATION AND OTHER CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OUR ADDICTION RECOVERY COACHES AND CBT PROVIDED BY OUR COUNSELLORS, IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT AND IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT OF ANY DRUG, DEVICE, OR TREATMENT OR A REPRESENTATION THAT A PARTICULAR DRUG, DEVICE, OR TREATMENT IS SAFE, APPROPRIATE, OR EFFECTIVE FOR YOU. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER REGARDING QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT ANY MEDICAL CONDITION BEFORE MAKING HEALTHCARE DECISIONS.

To access or use the Services, you must have compatible devices, access to the Internet, and certain necessary software. Fees and charges may apply to your use of mobile services and to the Internet.

3. Registration and Account Creation

Although certain parts of the Services are accessible without creating an account, you may be required to create an account to access and use other parts of the Services. If you create an account, you agree to provide information that is current, accurate, and complete, and to maintain and update any information about yourself that you have provided to Pelago. If you do not maintain such information, or Pelago has reasonable grounds to suspect as much, Pelago has the right to suspend or terminate your account and your use of the Services. You agree to keep your username and password confidential and to exit from your account at the end of each session. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

Our Apps are intended for use only on mobile phones that run an unmodified manufacturer approved operating system. Using the Apps on a mobile phone with a modified operating system may undermine security features that are intended to protect your protected health information and other information from unauthorized or unintended disclosure. As a result, you may compromise your information if you use the App on a mobile phone that has been modified or on a different device. Use of the App inconsistent with the above is a material breach of these Terms.

If you disagree with these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue your use of the Services. Your continued use after a change has been posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

You acknowledge and agree that: (1) all or any part of the Services may not be accessible at any time, for any period, or for any reason; and (2) Pelago will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services are unavailable at any time or for any period. Pelago reserves the right at any time and for any reason to modify, or temporarily or permanently discontinue, the Services or any portion thereof, with or without notice. You agree that Pelago shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. EACH OF THE ENTITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE AS COMPRISING PELAGO AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY “RELATED PERSONS”) MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, OPERABILITY, CONDITION, QUIET ENJOYMENT, VALUE, ACCURACY OF DATA, FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR MALWARE, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, FUNCTIONALITY, RELIABILITY, SEQUENCING OR SPEED OF DELIVERY OR SYSTEM INTEGRATION. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT INFRINGE THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PELAGO NOR ITS RELATED PERSONS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, OR USEFULNESS OF THE SERVICES, SERVICES CONTENT, AND USER CONTENT. FURTHERMORE, PELAGO DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE FROM ERROR, DEFECT, LOSS, DELAY IN OPERATION, CORRUPTION, CYBER ATTACK, VIRUSES, INTERFERENCE, HACKING, MALWARE, OR OTHER SECURITY INTRUSION, AND PELAGO DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY RELATING THERETO.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTENT, MATERIAL AND/OR INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES ARE USED AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER OR MOBILE PHONE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH CONTENT, MATERIAL AND/OR INFORMATION, OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY SUCH CONTENT, MATERIAL, AND/OR INFORMATION.

12. Limitation of Liability

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PELAGO, ITS RELATED PERSONS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS OR DAMAGES UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER SPECIAL CATEGORY OF DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE OR DATA, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER OR MOBILE PHONE DAMAGE, OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, INCLUDING DEATH, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCESS, USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES CONTENT, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL PELAGO OR IT’S RELATED PERSONS’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE, THE GREATER OF (I) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), OR (II) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for damages such as in this section. Accordingly, some of these limitations may not apply to you in their entirety. If you are a U.K. resident, English law does not permit the exclusion of certain liabilities, including death or personal injury caused by negligence when acting with consumers. If you are a resident of a U.S. state that permits the exclusion of any of these warranties and liabilities, then the applicable limitations in this section specifically do apply to you.

14. Governing Law and Arbitration Agreement for U.S. Residents

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND PELAGO TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM PELAGO. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND PELAGO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Governing Law. If you are a U.S. resident, these Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Subject to the requirement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 14, exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that do not require arbitration will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Binding Arbitration Generally. Except as described in the “Exceptions” section below, you and Pelago agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Services, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, constitutional provision, respondeat superior, agency or any other legal or equitable theory, regardless of whether a claim arises after the termination of these Terms, and regardless of whether a claim arises before or after the effective date of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim; or (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in a state or federal court in Delaware.

Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Pelago.

Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Pelago’s address for Notice of Arbitration is: 1632 1st Ave. #20163, New York, NY 10028. A copy of all Notices of Arbitration must also be sent to Pelago via email to legal@pelagohealth.com. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Pelago may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Pelago will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Pelago has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous 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 and Pelago may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.

Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.
