Conduct Relating to your Session
When you sign up for and attend our sessions, certain standards of conduct must be followed in order that all attendees get the full benefit of the sessions and their privacy and other rights be respected. Each of the Hosts have agreed, and by accessing the Platform, you also agree to the following rules of conduct in and following sessions.

Everything in the session must remain confidential. Specifically, you are not permitted to discuss or divulge, orally or in print, anything related to the identity of another attendee or anything that occurred in session with respect to another attendee.
2. Privacy (The Stop Rule)
No attendee is required to answer any question, to participate in any activity, or divulge any information.
3. Dignity; Timeliness
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. No attendee is ever to be humiliated, hazed, or abused in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a threat to yourself or others (showing suicidal or homicidal intent), your Host(s) may need to report your statements and/or behaviors to family, your therapist, or other appropriate mental health or law enforcement professionals in order to keep you and others safe.
Attendees are expected to log in on time and remain for the entire session.

5. Relationships outside Session
ShareWell is not responsible for any relationships potentially arising from sessions, or conducted outside the Platform.
6. Lived Experience
Attendees and Host are required to have lived experience of the session topic.
7. Peer Support
Sessions are rooted in peer support defined as the sharing of common experience. Sessions are not group therapy and Hosts are not trained mental health clinicians. Neither Hosts nor Attendees are qualified to give mental health advice or diagnose conditions.
The Hosts and Host Services
The Platform may be used to connect you with a Host who will provide services to you through the Platform (“Host Services”).
The Hosts are independent providers who are neither our employees nor agents nor representatives. The Platform's role is limited to enabling the Host Services while the Host Services themselves are the responsibility of the Host who provides them. If you feel the Host Services provided by the Host do not fit your needs or expectations, you may change to a different Host who provides services through the Platform.
While we hope the Host Services are beneficial to you, you understand, agree and acknowledge that they may not be the appropriate solution for everyone's needs and that they may not be appropriate for every particular situation and/or may not be a complete substitute for a face-to-face examination and/or care in every particular situation.
From time to time, the Platform may include content, text, data, graphics, images, photographs, audio, video, information, suggestions, guidance and other materials including, without limitation, outputs provided by third parties and outputs provided in direct response to your inputs (“Outputs”). Outputs do not constitute, and are not intended for use as or as a substitute for, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The outputs are not personalized to you and do not diagnose any condition you may or may not have. You should always talk to a qualified medical provider about any questions you may have about a medical condition, symptoms or your health. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding your symptoms, health or a medical condition, and before starting, stopping or modifying any treatment, medication or care plan or making any other medical decisions. Any decisions you make affecting your health should always be made in consultation with a medical provider.
We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any Outputs or other information presented on or through the Platform. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Platform, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents or other Outputs.
Outputs provided by third parties, third-party licensors, aggregators and/or reporting services are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE OR IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING HARMING YOURSELF OR OTHERS OR IF YOU FEEL THAT ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE IN ANY DANGER OR IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICE NUMBER (911 IN THE US) AND NOTIFY THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES. SEEK IMMEDIATE IN PERSON ASSISTANCE. THE PLATFORM IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CASES AND THE HOSTS CANNOT PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CASES.
THE PLATFORM IS NOT INTENDED FOR THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS REQUIRING AN IN-PERSON EVALUATION AND YOU SHOULD NOT USE IT IF YOU NEED ANY OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION OR APPROVALS FOR PURPOSES SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COURT-ORDERED PEER SUPPORT OR EMOTIONAL SERVICE DOG CERTIFICATION.

Disputes
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and the Company in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and the Company agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that nothing in this Agreement 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) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising from or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND THE COMPANY IS EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Any arbitration between you and the Company will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Agreement. 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 the Company. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
A party who intends to seek arbitration 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”). The Company's address for Notice is: Sharewell Labs Co. 77 Van Ness Ave. Ste 101-1206 San Francisco, CA 94102. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) 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 the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or the Company must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by the Company in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, the Company will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.
If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Agreement, the Company will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non- appearance-based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your 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. In that case, you agree to reimburse the Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
If any provision in this section (“Disputes”) is found to be valid or unenforceable, all other provisions in this section (“Disputes”) will remain valid and enforceable, except that if the preceding paragraph is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this section (“Disputes”) is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section (“Disputes”) will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the jurisdiction and venue described in the preceding section (“Governing Law and Jurisdiction”) will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
If the Company makes any future change to the arbitration provisions in this section, other than a change to the Company's address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Company's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with the Company will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE APP MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Notices
We may provide notices or other communications to you regarding this agreement or any aspect of the Platform, by email to the email address that we have on record, by regular mail or by posting it online. The date of receipt shall be deemed the date on which such notice is given. Notices sent to us must be delivered by email to [email protected].
Important notes about our Agreement

You irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts and hereby waive any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction by the aforementioned courts.
THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US. YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE NOT RELIED UPON ANY PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS BY US EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
We may change this Agreement by posting modifications on the Platform. Unless otherwise specified by us, all modifications shall be effective upon posting.

We may freely transfer or assign this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder.
The paragraph headings in this Agreement are solely for the sake of convenience and will not be applied in the interpretation of this Agreement.
