These Terms (“Terms”) govern your use of the Zabit website, the Zabit application, and any other website or online service or mobile application that Zabit, Inc. operates and that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Platform”).

 

You may only access and use the Platform, including its content and any products or services provided through the Platform or otherwise by Zabit (the “Services” or “Service”) in accordance with these Terms. As part of offering the Services, Zabit contracts with independent Coaches, to provide coaching to clients via text and video messaging. Accordingly, our Services includes the coaching services provided to you by Coaches through their contractual relationship with us, and your access to and use of these Services are subject to these Terms.

 

Throughout these Terms “Zabit”, “we”, “us”, and “our” means and refers to Zabit, Inc. and its current and future formed subsidiaries and affiliates. “You”, “your” means and refers to the person using the Services.

 

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, CLICKING “I AGREE”, CHECKING A RELATED BOX TO SIGNIFY YOUR ACCEPTANCE, OR USING ANY OTHER ACCEPTANCE PROTOCOL PRESENTED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE PLATFORM OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS. THE TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS PROVIDED HEREIN.

 

ARBITRATION NOTICE: YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND ZABIT, INC. ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU KNOWINGLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, AS FURTHER SET FORTH BELOW.

1. Your Compliance with the Terms and Updates to the Terms

 

The Services are not intended for individuals under the age of thirteen (13) and individuals under the age of thirteen (13) are prohibited from using all or any part of the Services or entering into these Terms, even if a parent or legal guardian would be willing to provide consent to use of the Services or the Terms.

2. Your Relationship With Us

 

Zabit does not provide any psychological services, therapy services, or any other medical services. Rather, Zabit makes available to individuals who register as users of the Services certain habit coaching services offered by Zabit. Zabit Coaches use the Services to communicate with you. Additionally, Zabit admins and other Zabit employees or contractors may communicate with you using the Services. Finally, Zabit provides chatbots which communicate with you using the Services.

 

By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that Zabit is not a healthcare provider and that by using the Services, you are not entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with us.

 

Any information or advice received from a Coach comes from the Coach and not from Zabit. Your interactions with Coaches via the Services are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners. Neither Zabit, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Services or provide a link to the Services, will be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Coach via the Services or for any other information obtained on the Platform.

 

Zabit does not endorse any products or procedures that may be recommended by Coaches who may use Zabit’s Services to communicate with you. Zabit does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Coach who provide services via the Services. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Coach’s information provided by the Coaches via the Services is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risk associated therewith.

 

By accepting these Terms, you agree and acknowledge that any Services you receive from the Coaches are also subject to these Terms and that the Coaches, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.

All content within the Platform and any material made available for download are the property of Zabit, or its licensors or suppliers, as applicable. The Platform is protected by United States and international copyright and trademark laws.

When you use Zabit Services, or send emails, text messages, and other communications from your desktop or mobile device to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. You agree that (a) all agreements and consents can be signed electronically and (b) all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such notices and other communications be in writing.

 

You agree to receive invitations, notifications, reminders and other communications from Coaches, bots and Zabit (and any of its affiliates or agents) through the Platform, or by email, text message (including any short message service), fax, phone or other method of communication.

You can opt out of receiving Automated Messages at any time, including by contacting Zabit at hello@zabit.com or replying “STOP” to an automated text message.

 

5. Subscription Products

 

Certain Services and products available for purchase through the Platforms require that you purchase the product on a subscription basis, which means that your payment device, credit card, and/or other payment service will be automatically charged at regular intervals (as described in more detail in the offer terms presented during the checkout process) until you cancel your subscription in accordance with these terms.

 

We offer a variety of subscription plans at varying price levels. Prices are subject to change at any time. Please carefully read the additional terms applicable to your particular subscription plan at the time of checkout. To the extent permitted by law, subscription fees are final and non-refundable unless expressly stated otherwise.

 

We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit in one instance, we are under no obligation to issue the same refund or credit in the future. If you choose to cancel your subscription and return to the program at a later date, you will be subject to any rate increases at the time of re-enrollment. You acknowledge that your subscription fees may be different from the subscription fee paid by others using the Services because of discounts or promotions offered to others for which you may not be eligible or which are not available at the time you signed up for the Services.

 

In the event that we terminate your account due to non-payment or non-compliance with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you understand and agree that you will not be granted access to our Services from the time of termination. Furthermore, you agree that any subscription fees paid for the usage period during which access is terminated shall be non-refundable as compensation for the breach of terms. This includes instances where we terminate your account for non-payment or any other breach of these Terms or Privacy Policy. We retain the right to keep any subscription fees paid up to the point of termination to cover the use of the Services provided and administrative costs incurred due to the termination.

 

The subscription fee will not increase during the initial program commitment period (“Original Commitment Term”). Sales taxes and other government-imposed fees, however, are not part of the subscription price and may be added or adjusted at any time without notice as required by law. Fees may increase in subsequent commitment periods.

 

6. Coaches

 

During your trial period, you will be matched with a Coach or multiple Coaches. Coaches may be assigned or reassigned at any time. There may be periods of time where a Coach has not yet been assigned or reassigned to you. If you are not satisfied with your current Coach, you may request a new Coach at any time, but Zabit may not be able to accommodate your request. While using the Zabit services, you may communicate with your Coach via text messaging which may include media. You agree to only communicate with your Coach via the Zabit platform and not through any other means. You agree to only share information with your Coach that is necessary to receive habit coaching. You agree to not send an inappropriate or overwhelming amount of messages to your Coach. You agree that there is no SLA (Service Level Agreement) associated with responding to your messages and that Coaches will send messages to you when it is appropriate and when the Coaches are available.

 

7. Cancellation

 

Either you or Zabit may terminate or cancel your subscription for the Services at any time. We reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges, or costs incurred before your cancellation takes effect. If you subscribe to a plan with a preset commitment period and you decide to cancel prior to the end of the commitment plan period, you will not receive a refund for the unused portion of the commitment period.

 

You may cancel a subscription at any time before the applicable renewal processing date of your subscription through the Services by emailing hello@zabit.com and requesting a cancellation. You understand and agree that the cancellation or termination of your subscription is your sole right and remedy with respect to any dispute with us including, without limitation, any dispute related to, or arising out of: (i) any terms of these Terms; (ii) any practice or policy of Zabit, including our cancellation and Privacy Policy; (iii) the content available through the Platform; (iv) your ability to access and/or use the Platform; or (v) the amount or types of our fees or charges, surcharges, applicable taxes, or billing methods, or any change to our fees or charges, applicable taxes, or billing methods.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

 

ZABIT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED. THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN IT OR ANY RELATED SERVICES, IS PROVIDED “AS-IS,” WITH ALL FAULTS, WITH NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY OF INFORMATION, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND TITLE/NON-INFRINGEMENT.

21. Limitation of Liability Regarding Use of the Services

 

ZABIT AND ANY THIRD PARTIES MENTIONED ON THE PLATFORM ARE NEITHER RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE PLATFORM, SERVICES, CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE PLATFORM, AND/OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

22. Binding Arbitration / Class Waiver

 

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND ZABIT OR YOU AND ANY OF THE ZABIT-AFFILIATED PARTIES OR ANY COACHES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ZABIT, THE SITE, THE PLATFORM THE CONTENT OR THE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER ZABIT GOODS, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE (COLLECTIVELY “DISPUTES”), WILL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“ AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

 

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.

 

Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case Zabit will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs.
