Terms & Conditions
Disclaimer
These holistic practitioners work in partnership with their clients and encourage a holistic approach to wellness. Note that alternative health services are offered by a diverse array of practitioners, whose work may or may not be authorized within your state, and if allowed, may be subject to varying state licensing requirements. These emerging professions offer credentials which represent a wide range of educational quality and recognition. Panthera Academy does not make value judgments about these practitioners’ training or credentials, and while each has submitted a signed application attesting to his/her training, Panthera Academy does not verify their training or legal authorization to practice. In listing these practitioners/guides, Panthera Academy does not endorse, warrant, or in any way guarantee the quality, effectiveness or safety of their work. PLEASE NOTE: It is your responsibility to verify that a practitioner’s licensing, training, experience and level of expertise are appropriate for your specific needs.
Welcome! We’re Panthera Academy (“Panthera Academy ”).
Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our services accessible via our Site and our App (“App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services and App are collectively called the “Services.”

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.
Changes to Terms or Services
We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site, via the App or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site or via the App, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then 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.
Our Services and Your Responsibility
Panthera Academy provides a platform for communication between customers and their providers for limited purposes.
Eligibility
You may only use the Services if you are a customer of a provider. You must also (i) be over the age of 18, unless, if you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian has provided your provider with a written document in a form provided by your provider granting you permission to use the Services; (ii) be a resident of the same State as your provider; (iii) have a doctor-customer relationship with the provider who registered you for the Services; and (iv) are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.
Any access to or use of the Services by anyone under 18 without the written consent of a parent or legal guardian in a form provided by your provider is expressly prohibited.
Registration and Your Information
If you want to use the Services as a customer you’ll need to have an account (“customer Account”). To have a customer Account, you must first be authorized to access the Services by your provider. If your provider authorizes your use of the Services, your provider will receive an access code from Panthera Academy which will allow your provider to create a customer Account for you. It’s important that you provide your provider with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your customer Account and you agree to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. You agree that you won’t disclose your customer Account password to anyone and you’ll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your customer Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your customer Account, whether or not you know about them.
Content and Content Rights
For purposes of these Terms: (i) “Content” means text, graphics, images, music, software, audio, video, works of authorship of any kind, and information or other materials that are posted, generated, provided or otherwise made available through the Services; (ii) “Panthera Academy Content” means Content that Panthera Academy makes available through the Services, including any Content licensed from a third party, but excluding customer Content and provider Content; (iii) “customer Content” means any Content that customer Account holders (including you) provide to be made available through the Services, including but not limited to responses to provider questions or requests for information; and (iv) “provider Content” means Content that a provider uploads, publishes, submits or transmits to be made available through the Services including but not limited to correspondence from your provider, such as any questions or requests for information. Content includes without limitation Panthera Academy Content, customer Content and provider Content.
Content Ownership, Responsibility and Removal
Panthera Academy does not claim any ownership rights in any customer Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use and exploit your customer Content. Subject to the foregoing, Panthera Academy and its licensors exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to the Services and Content, including all associated intellectual property rights. You acknowledge that the Services and Content are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries. You agree not to remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Services or Content.
Rights in Content Granted by Panthera Academy
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Panthera Academy grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license solely in connection with your permitted use of the Services to view, download and use the Content solely for your personal and non-commercial purposes.
Rights in customer Content Granted by You
By signing up to Panthera Academy, you grant Panthera Academy permission to coordinate and manage bookings between you and your provider. You also grant Panthera Academy access to data required to perform the job of coordinating and managing bookings including your first name + last initial, phone number, email, appointment date, time, and provider name. This information is only used to coordinate bookings. Panthera Academy has permission to share this information with your provider.
You and your provider control who has access to your individually identifiable health information.
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy and the customer Terms of Service, we will not use or disclose your PHI to third parties.
We may use individually identifiable information that you submit as part of the Services to create de-identified information (i.e., information that does not identify you), and we may use or disclose de-identified information without restriction. You transfer and assign to us all right, title and interest in and to all such de-identified information, and you agree that we may use, disclose, market, license and sell such de-Identified information for any purpose without restriction, and that you have no interest in such de-identified information, or in the proceeds of any sale, license, or other commercialization thereof. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to individually identifiable information. We do not link IP addresses and device identifiers to PII or PHI.
Payment
There is no charge to register with us or download the App on your mobile device. You are charged only when you actually use the Services to schedule a consultation with a provider. Each provider sets his or own fees for his or her time and services, but your payment to them includes a portion that is retained by us for our administrative Services in connection with the App. We reserve the right to introduce a fee in the future for downloading the App as registering with us. If we decide to introduce such a fee, we will inform you accordingly and allow you to either continue or terminate your account.
We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to link us to your credit card account. The processing of payments or credits, as applicable, in connection with your use of the App will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor or your credit card issuer. In connection with your use of the Services (and specifically in connection with your scheduling of a telephonic or in-person consultation with a health care professional), Panthera Academy will obtain certain transaction details, which we will use solely in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
At present we do not process any insurance claims, nor will the providers process claims on your behalf. Although the consultations/treatments you receive from providers through the App may or may not be covered by your insurance, it is solely up to you to contact your health plan, determine whether coverage applies and submit a claim. You are responsible for the full fee (and for paying the fee in advance) regardless of whether you later are able to receive reimbursement from your health plan for part or all of the cost.
Modifying or Deleting Your customer Content.
Because certain of your customer Content, including your individually identifiable health information, becomes part of your provider’s health record about you, you cannot delete it. If you want us to modify or delete your customer Content, please contact your provider with your request. We’ll work with your provider, and, if appropriate, we’ll take steps to deactivate your customer Account and to modify or delete your information as soon as we can in consultation with your provider, but please note that some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records or as otherwise required by law. In addition, your provider may still retain copies of this information as part of your medical records. To obtain a copy of your medical records, please contact your provider directly. For more information on how your information may be used, please see our Privacy Policy.
Use of the App
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Panthera Academy grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download and install a copy of the App on a mobile device that you own or control and to run such copy of the App solely for your own personal non-commercial purposes. You may not copy the App, except for making a reasonable number of copies for backup or archival purposes. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not: (i) copy, modify or create derivative works based on the App; (ii) distribute, transfer, sublicense, lease, lend or rent the App to any third party; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App; or (iv) make the functionality of the App available to multiple users through any means.

Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Panthera Academy agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content will be settled by final and binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration and a separate Demand for Arbitration for California residents.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless you and Panthera Academy otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in in San Francisco, California. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Panthera Academy submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. 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 having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
Fees
The arbitrator’s fees will be shared equally between you and Panthera Academy and each of you and Panthera Academy will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees.
General Terms
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Panthera Academy and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Panthera Academy and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the “Arbitration” section above or by court of competent jurisdiction, but only if you timely opt out of arbitration by sending us an Arbitration Opt-out Notice in accordance with the terms set forth above), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Panthera Academy ’ prior written consent.

You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use the products or services of a third party that are available through the Services. In the event of any conflict between any such third-party terms and conditions and this Agreement, this Agreement will govern. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions contained therein.
Any notices or other communications provided by Panthera Academy under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services.
