Providers shall receive all payments from the Client through the use of our Service.

The scheduled appointment with the Provider will not begin until payment from the Client has been processed. If a Client fails to cancel or reschedule an appointment at least 48 hours in advance, Client will be charged for a missed appointment fee which will be the fee the Client would have paid for the scheduled appointment with you. If a Provider cancels an appointment less than 48 hours before the time of the scheduled appointment, a full refund of the amount paid by the Client will be refunded to the Client. If a client cancels or reschedules an appointment more than 48 hours, then it is up to the Providers policy on whether or not the client is due a refund.

c. Connect4Healing Fees. You shall pay us a service payment fee that is either 10%, 13% or 15% of your Fee (“Service Fee”) charged to the client, depending on your transaction usage.  If you have less than 25 payment transactions per month from one-hour session equivalents, your service fee will be 15%.  If you have between 25 and 45 payment transactions per month from one-hour session equivalents, your service fee will be 13%. If you have more than 45 payment transactions per month from one-hour session equivalents, your service fee will be 10%. The average will be determined at the beginning of the fourth month after sign-up.  Upon joining, all providers will start at 10% and will be adjusted if necessary, during the fourth month if the transactions fall within a different range.  Such Service Payment Fee includes overhead, administrative support, corporate fees, and transaction fees (“Connect4Healing Fees”). The Service Fee minus Connect4Healing Fees shall be processed by a payment processor and will be deposited into your bank account. There is a monthly maintenance fee of $50 to be charged for Providers to sign up for an account on Connect4Healing and use the platform. The payment will be due upon sign up and on the same calendar day for each subsequent month. NOTE: The introductory first month the only charges would be $50 for monthly fee and the stripe fees (2.9% +.30 (cents) for each transaction. The second month starts with $50 + 10% until the fourth month, and then the % is adjusted based on transactional activities as stated above.

Connect4Healing may amend these Terms from time to time, and in Connect4Healing’s sole discretion. We will provide notification to users of material changes to these Terms (i) by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account, which will take effect immediately upon our sending of this email, and/or (ii) through our Website at least 30 days prior to the change taking effect by posting a notice on our home page. We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to these Terms.

a. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Connect4Healing each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Connect4Healing’s customer service team by email at support@connect4healing.com. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

b. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Connect4Healing mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Connect4HealingService (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Connect4Healing agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

c. Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and Connect4Healing each agree that either party may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if they prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules.

d. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

e. Jury Trial Waiver. You and Connect4Healing acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

f. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Connect4Healing acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and Connect4Healing both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.

g. Severability. In the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

Notwithstanding the provisions (“Modification of these Terms”), if Connect4Healing changes this Section (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Connect4Healing’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you agree that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Connect4Healing in accordance with the provisions of the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement section as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

a. Governing Law. Except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise, this Agreement between you and Connect4Healing and any access to or use of the Website or the Service are governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and Connect4Healing agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the City of Santa Clara and County of Santa Clara, California.

b. Severability. If any part of the terms of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion of the Agreement will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent. The remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any failure on the part of Connect4Healing to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision. Our rights under this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.

c. Limitation of Term of Action. You agree that any cause of action related to or arising out of your relationship with Connect4Healing must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

d. Non-Assignability. We may assign or delegate this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms without Connect4Healing’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void.
