AI and Chat Functionality
The Services may include features, functionality, and content that are generated or powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”). Cleo Care uses AI for purposes that may include, without limitation, matching Customers with Professionals based on the information you provide, generating recommendations, and providing automated assistance, responses, and other support to Users (collectively, the “AI Features”). For purposes of these Terms, “artificial intelligence” has the meaning given under applicable California law, including California Business and Professions Code Section 22757 et seq. and any other applicable statute or regulation.
Without limiting anything else in these Terms, the AI Features are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” and Cleo Care makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding them.

You acknowledge that certain AI Features may rely on or incorporate Third-Party Services (as described in the “Third-Party Services” section of these Terms), and that Cleo Care cannot guarantee the suitability, accuracy, quality, security, legality, or reliability of such Third-Party Services or their outputs. Before relying on any AI Feature, you are responsible for determining that it is suitable for your needs, and you are solely responsible for any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any output. You should not act or refrain from acting based solely on any information made available through the AI Features. Cleo Care does not monitor interactions between you and the AI Features, and you should independently evaluate the accuracy and appropriateness of any output for your circumstances. AI Features may occasionally produce incomplete, inaccurate, or otherwise objectionable information that does not reflect Cleo Care’s views. Any reference by an AI Feature to a Professional, product, or service does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, referral, or guarantee of any individual or entity by Cleo Care or any affiliated third party.
Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for the AI Features or any information generated by the AI Features, including, but not limited to, infringement of intellectual property rights, any errors or omissions, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your interaction with the AI Features.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
Cleo Care uses a third-party payment processor to process credit card payments for professional services provided through the Platform on behalf of Users (the “Transaction Processing Services”).
Customers
For each appointment you book through the Services, you will be charged at the time of service: (a) the Professional’s clinical fee for the applicable service; (b) a flat platform fee of ten dollars ($10.00) per appointment; and (c) a pass-through card-processing cost equal to the fee charged by our payment processor for the transaction. The platform fee and pass-through card-processing cost are in addition to the Professional’s clinical fee and any cost-sharing obligations you may owe under your health plan (such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance). We will display the applicable fees to you before you confirm an appointment. By confirming an appointment, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge these amounts to your designated payment method.
We do not store or retain your full payment card information; that information is collected and processed by our payment processor in accordance with its terms of service and privacy policy, which you can review at https://stripe.com/legal/consumer. We process payments in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Any payment terms presented to you when you sign up for or use a paid service are part of these Terms.
You are responsible for all charges incurred under your User Account, and you remain responsible for paying all amounts required by law or contract (such as your health plan agreement), including all cost-sharing obligations such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. Cleo Care is not responsible for the products or services provided by any Professional, or for any charges submitted by a Professional.
If you dispute any fees charged by a Professional, please notify us at hello@cleocare.co. Where a Professional permits it, you may use the Services to pay all or a portion of your financial obligations under your insurance coverage. While we endeavor to display accurate copayment and insurance information, we make no guarantee and disclaim all warranties that such information is correct, as it is provided by your insurer or a third-party clearinghouse and is subject to change. You may ultimately owe more or less than the amount paid through the Services, and you are likely to receive an explanation of benefits from your insurer following your appointment.
You may cancel a scheduled appointment without charge up to twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled appointment time. If you cancel less than twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled appointment time, or fail to attend, you may be charged the full amount for the applicable service.
You must provide current, complete, and accurate billing information and promptly update it as needed. You must promptly notify us or our payment processor if your payment information is cancelled (for example, due to loss or theft) or if you become aware of any breach of security involving your User Account.
We are not responsible for any error, act, or omission of the payment processor. Neither Cleo Care nor our payment processor will be responsible if a transaction cannot be completed for any reason, including if: (a) you have not provided accurate, current, and complete payment information; (b) you do not have sufficient funds or available credit; (c) you do not have an active payment card or we cannot confirm your card information or identity; (d) your User Account or access to the Services has been terminated or suspended; (e) we have reason to believe the transaction is unauthorized; or (f) we terminate or suspend the services we provide to the applicable Professional.
You agree to promptly review all charges and to notify Cleo Care of any questions, concerns, or disputes. In no event may you raise a dispute more than twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable transaction.
Professionals
Cleo Care, through its third-party payment processor, will collect payment from Consumers for professional services provided through the Platform and will remit the applicable amounts to you, less Cleo Care’s fees. You authorize Cleo Care to deduct and retain its fees, as agreed to separately in writing between you and Cleo Care, from the amounts collected before remitting the balance to you. Cleo Care will remit the net amounts to the deposit account you designate.
To receive payment, you must provide and maintain current, complete, and accurate deposit account information with Cleo Care or its payment processor, and you must promptly provide updated deposit information whenever your User Account details change. Cleo Care is not responsible for any delay in or failure of payment resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date deposit information.
Charges to Consumers are assessed on a per-appointment basis. For each appointment, the Consumer is charged (a) your clinical fee for the applicable service, (b) a flat platform fee of ten dollars ($10.00), and (c) a pass-through card-processing cost, each collected at the time of service.
You will be charged flat, per-booking fees for use of the Services, consisting of (a) a one-time match fee assessed on the Consumer’s first appointment with you, and (b) a flat per-appointment fee assessed for each appointment thereafter. These fees are as agreed to separately in writing between you and Cleo Care and will be deducted from amounts collected on your behalf as described above.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES WITH CLEO CARE THROUGH INDIVIDUAL, BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
You agree that any dispute between you and Cleo Care arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the dispute resolution procedure outlined below. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case, so we have included a tiered dispute resolution process. This Dispute Resolution section may be modified by a written agreement between you and Cleo Care.
Informal Resolution
Before initiating a formal proceeding, the parties will try in good faith to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform (each, a "Dispute") informally. The party seeking relief must send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party that describes the nature and basis of the Dispute and the specific relief sought, using the notice addresses provided below (for notices to Cleo Care) or the contact information associated with your User Account (for notices to you). The parties will then attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute through negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days after the notice is received. If the Dispute is not resolved during that period, either party may proceed with arbitration or other relief as provided below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the informal resolution process.
Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as expressly provided herein, you and Cleo Care agree that every Dispute will be resolved by individual, binding arbitration, and not in a court of law.
Arbitration Procedures
Any legal or equitable dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement, shall be finally resolved exclusively by binding arbitration through the platform provided by New Era ADR, Inc. (https://app.neweraadr.com/) (the “New Era Platform”) in accordance with its rules and procedures for “Virtual Expedited Arbitrations” by a professional Neutral with relevant experience (the “Neutral”). The Neutral shall be chosen in accordance with the rules and procedures of the New Era Platform. The allocation of fees and costs, and any award of attorneys' fees and expenses, is governed by these Terms and applicable law. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
A party shall initiate an arbitration through New Era ADR at https://app.neweraadr.com. The contact information for Cleo Care shall be hello@cleocare.co and for the relevant user it shall be the last known email address. For more information on initiating disputes please go to New Era ADR’s Virtual Arbitration Help Center. For support when initiating a dispute please contact support@neweraadr.com.
Exceptions
Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from (a) bringing an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies; (b) seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, or Platform security, pending the outcome of arbitration; or (c) pursuing any enforcement action available through a governmental agency. Nothing in these Terms prevents you from reporting possible violations of law to a governmental agency or from responding truthfully to lawful legal process.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending a written opt-out notice to Cleo Care by email, or by mail to the address below, within thirty (30) days after the date you first accept these Terms. The opt-out notice must include your first and last name, the email address associated with your User Account, and a clear statement that you decline this arbitration agreement. A valid and timely opt-out will relieve you of the obligation to arbitrate future Disputes, but will not affect any other provision of these Terms, including the jurisdiction and venue provisions.
No Class Actions
YOU AND CLEO CARE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. THE NEUTRAL MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.
If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Cleo Care by or with the coordinated assistance of the same law firm or coordinated group of law firms, the parties agree that the claims will be administered in batches of no more than fifty (50) claims per batch through the New Era Platform. Each batch will have a single set of filing and administrative fees due from claimants and Cleo Care, and New Era ADR will provide a single Neutral or set of case administrators for the batch. Claimants and Cleo Care agree to work in good faith with New Era ADR to administer the batches efficiently and to resolve any disagreements about batching. No claim in a subsequent batch may proceed until the prior batch has concluded, unless the parties agree or New Era ADR directs otherwise. This provision is intended to increase the efficiency and fairness of resolving a large number of similar claims and will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Fees and Costs
The New Era Platform charges flat fees for arbitration, allocated in accordance with its rules and procedures. For any Dispute you bring, Cleo Care will pay the New Era Platform's filing, administrative, and Neutral fees, except that you will pay the portion of any filing fee equal to what you would have paid to file the same claim in court. Each party will otherwise bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, except that the Neutral may award reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to a prevailing party only to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law and the rules and procedures of the New Era Platform. If the Neutral finds that a claim or a defense was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the Neutral may reallocate fees and costs to the extent permitted by the rules and procedures of the New Era Platform and applicable law.
Jurisdiction and Venue for Non-Arbitrable Claims
For any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration, or if the arbitration agreement is held unenforceable in whole or in part, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, for the resolution of the Dispute, and waive any objection to that jurisdiction or venue based on inconvenience or otherwise.
Time to Bring a Claim
Any Dispute must be initiated within one (1) year after the claim arose, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Claims not brought within that period are permanently barred.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision
If Cleo Care makes any material change to this Dispute Resolution section, other than a change to the address for notices, you may reject the change by sending a written notice of rejection to the address in the Notices section within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the change. In that case, your Account will be subject to the arbitration provisions as in effect immediately before the change you rejected.
Severability and Survival
If any part of this Dispute Resolution section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. If the bar to class actions is found to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular Dispute, that Dispute will be severed and resolved in court in accordance with the Jurisdiction and Venue for Non-Arbitrable Claims section above. This Dispute Resolution section survives termination of these Terms.
