Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 3rd 2019

Welcome to Mindful Synchrony. ("Mindful Synchrony") websites located at www.mindfulsynchrony.com and blog.mindfulsynchrony.com (together, the "Site"). Please read these Terms of Service (the "Terms") and our Privacy Policy carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our Mindful Synchrony app accessible via our Site and mobile device application (the "App"). To make these Terms easier to read, our Site, services and App are collectively called the "Services."

  1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services.

  2. Privacy Policy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.

  1. Changes to Terms or Services. We may update the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we'll let you know either by posting the updated Terms on the Site or through other communications. It's important that you review the Terms whenever we update them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms on the App, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in "Effect of Changes on Arbitration" section below, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

  2. Health-Related Content. The Services give you the option to choose from a number of programs. The descriptions of the programs, such as "How I won the fight over cancer", are intended to convey the category or direction of the program and should be considered the goal for that program and not a guarantee or certainty of success. While we hope each program can help you to get another’s perspective and inspire you to act in a particular way, the results or actions taken by you are of your own responsibility. The Services are not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and do not constitute medical or other professional advice. Any physical or mental health related content that you may find in the Services is broad in nature and in scope, describes only general principles, is not specific to you as an individual, and may not be appropriate or relevant to your personal situation. Such content is not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical conditions or as a substitute for consulting with your health care professionals. Reliance on any information provided through the Services is solely at your own risk. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something that you have read, seen, or heard on our Services. If you have any questions about your physical or mental health, you should consult your healthcare professionals.

  3. Who May Use the Services?

    1. Eligibility. You may use the Services only if you are 18 years of age or older, capable of forming a binding contract with Mindful Synchrony, and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

    2. Registration and Your Information. If you want to use certain features of the Services you'll have to create an account with us ("Account"). You can do this via the App through your email account, Facebook account, or Google account. If you choose the Facebook or Google account option we'll create your Account by extracting from your Facebook or Google account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your privacy settings on your Facebook or Google account permit us to access.

    3. Accuracy of Account Information. It's important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don't, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won't disclose your Account password to anyone and you'll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You're responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.

  4. Subscription Fees and Payment. We offer several types of in-app purchases and subscriptions for our Services, including: a per/program purchase, a program package purchase, a free trial membership, a weekly membership, a monthly membership and an annual membership. By selecting one of these subscriptions, you agree to pay in advance the applicable membership fee, if any, as posted in the App, plus any applicable taxes and other fees that may accrue in relation to your use of the Services. All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable unless otherwise provided in these Terms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.

    1. Free Trials. We offer a free trial during which you may use the Services without payment for the period of time specified in the App or on the Site at the time that you create your Account. Free trial subscriptions are only available to new users. Unless you cancel your free subscription prior to the end of your trial we (or our third party payment processor) will begin charging you the applicable subscription fee until you cancel your subscription. You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial has ended or that your subscription has begun. We reserve the right to modify or terminate free trials at any time, without notice and in our sole discretion.

    2. General. Whether you are purchasing a one-time gift for another person or a program or membership for yourself (each, a "Transaction"), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).

    3. Advance Payment of membership Fees. If you purchase a membership, the membership fee (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) will be charged to you at the beginning of the paying portion of your subscription. Per/program, program package, weekly, monthly and annual memberships will be charged to you at the beginning of your membership, week, month or year (as applicable) thereafter at the then-current rate. Unlimited access memberships, if available, will be charged in one advance payment at the beginning of your membership at the then-current rate; such memberships will give you access to the Services without further payment for as long as we provide the Services. For weekly, monthly and annual subscriptions, you will be automatically charged each week, month or year, as applicable, on the calendar day corresponding to the date of commencement of your membership. If your monthly membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may charge you on such other day in the applicable month as we deem appropriate. For example, if your membership started on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th and you will be billed on that date. Weekly, monthly and annual membership fees auto-renew as set forth below.

    4. Recurring Payment. By entering into these Terms and electing a weekly, monthly or annual subscription, you acknowledge that your subscription has a recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your subscription by you or Mindful Synchrony. Your weekly, monthly or annual membership continues until cancelled by you or we terminate access to or use of the Services in accordance with these Terms.

    5. Gifts. If you choose to purchase a gift to another person, you agree to pay the applicable fee as a one-time, non-refundable, advance payment at the then-current rate specified on the Site or in the App.

    6. Cancellation of membership. You may cancel your membership at any time. All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. You will not receive a refund of any portion of the membership fee paid for the then-current membership period at the time of cancellation. If you cancel, you can continue to enjoy your membership through the end of your current week, month, or year, as applicable to your membership. To cancel, you can email us at admin@mindfulsynchrony.com. You can also cancel through your app store operator. For example, if you have an iPhone, go to Settings, tap App and iTunes Stores, tap your Apple ID, tap View Apple ID, sign in if requested, then tap Manage under Subscriptions. Please follow the instructions, if any, that we provide to you in response to your cancellation request. Google subscriptions can be managed in the Google Play Store; search for Mindful Synchrony and select "Manage Subscriptions".

    7. Termination of memberships. We may terminate access to or use of the Services, at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice. All fees are non-refundable. For per/program, program package, weekly, monthly, and annual memberships, if we terminate your membership, you may continue to use the Services for the remainder of your current membership period, after such time the paid membership Services will not be available to you. For unlimited access memberships, your access to the Services will only be cancelled if you violate these Terms or we discontinue offering the Services. If Mindful Synchrony or its assets are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition or asset sale, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, we may discontinue offering the Services and will not be required to provide any refunds for unlimited access memberships.

    8. Membership Price Changes. The price of memberships is subject to change at any time without notice. We reserve the right at any time to correct any inadvertent pricing errors, to change or revoke any limited-time offer, and to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions on the Site or in the App, including after you have been charged your membership fee. If we change the price of your weekly, monthly or annual subscription, you have the option to cancel at any time before the new price is applied. Please see above for further information about cancellation.

  5. Feedback. We welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services ("Feedback"). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at admin@mindfulsynchrony.com.
