Terms of Service

Last Updated: 5/3/24

Welcome to STRESSAWAY! 

STRESSAWAY, LLC. (“STRESSAWAY”) builds XR (virtual reality and augmented reality) and other digital fitness and wellness experiences, which are made available through our software application (the “App”) and our website (the “Site”). Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of the Site, our App, and the services and functionality accessible via the Site and our App. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, the App, and our services are collectively called the “Services.”

Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND STRESSAWAY THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY THE SECTION TITLED “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION).

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. Our Privacy Policy is located at www.STRESSAWAY.app/privacy-policy.

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 or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you should discontinue using the Services. 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.

USING THE SERVICES

Eligibility. You may use the Services only if you are 16 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

Registration and Your Information. If you want to use certain features of the Services, you’ll have to create an account (“Account”). It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information and update this information as needed. You shouldn’t disclose your Account password to anyone, and you should notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether you know about them or not.

Session Data. The App may measure, collect and store information or data related to your eye and head movement, heart rate and breathing, and your mood and feelings (measured through your responses to surveys and questionnaires in the App). Such information and data is collectively referred to as “Session Data”.

Processing and Storage of Personal Information.  As part of your use of the Services, you agree to the processing and storage of your personal information in the United States, including the processing and storing of your personal information in the United States for the purposes of processing payments and tracking individual use of the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree that the United States may not have the same level of protections for your personal information that exists in your country of residence, and you nonetheless consent to the processing and storage of your personal information in the United States. We will take measures as required to comply with applicable law regarding the transfer, storage, and use of certain personal information.

Not a Medical Treatment. Please note that STRESSAWAY does not provide any medical advice, diagnosis or engage in the practice of medicine. The Services are not intended to be and do not constitute a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Services, and all content made available through the Services, is for informational and entertainment purposes only. You acknowledge and agree that (a) STRESSAWAY is not a healthcare provider or wellness instructor; (b) the Services (including any recommendations and any information available through the Services that may be personalized) may not be appropriate for you and does not constitute or replace medical advice; and (c) STRESSAWAY is not responsible for any results that may (or may not) be obtained from the use of the Services. You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to consult with your personal physician regarding any medical condition, impairment, or disability, including those that may prevent or limit your ability to use the Services. You further understand and agree that you are solely responsible for abiding by your personal physician’s recommendation as to any such medical restrictions, and for using the Services solely in accordance with your personal physician’s advice. You assume full responsibility for the use of any information obtained through the Services and agree that we’re not responsible or liable for any claim, loss, or damage arising from using that information. If you rely on any information provided through the Services, you do so at your own risk.

Personal Non-Commercial Use. The Services are made available solely for personal non-commercial use. You may not exploit the Services or any of its features or Content for commercial or business purposes, or otherwise use the Services in a manner that is inconsistent with these Terms.

Feedback. We welcome feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at support@STRESSAWAY.app. Any Feedback that you provide to us will be treated as non-proprietary and non-confidential, and you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any and all purposes, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of any permission from or payment to you or to any other person or entity. Any such Feedback will not be returned to you and STRESSAWAY has no obligation to acknowledge receipt of or respond to any Feedback. If you submit Feedback, you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control the rights to your Feedback, and you agree to indemnify STRESSAWAY and its affiliates for all claims arising from or in connection with any claims to any rights in any Feedback or any damages arising from any Feedback.

Organizational Offerings.  Certain organizations (for instance, universities, hospitals, and companies) (“Organizations”) may purchase and make the Services available to their employees and members. In some cases, these Organizations may supplement these Terms with their own terms and conditions, which may include additional terms around subscription redemption, usage, or supplementary payment for accessing the Services. In such an event, the additional Organizational terms and conditions shall also apply to your use of the Services. In the event of any conflict with such additional Organizational terms and these Terms, the additional Organizational terms shall prevail.

FEES, SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND VIRTUAL ITEMS

We may charge fees associated with certain Services, including, without limitation, for subscriptions to certain Services (“Subscriptions”), the download of Apps, and the purchase of virtual goods, add-ons, or benefits (“Virtual Items”). Such products or Services may be made available for purchase on specified pages of the Site, within the Apps, on third-party App stores and marketplaces (“App Providers”), or otherwise as indicated through the Services. The price of any product or service purchased through the Services will be the price specified at the time of your purchase. Prices for all products and services exclude all applicable taxes and telecommunication charges, unless otherwise indicated. To the extent permissible by law, you agree to be responsible for any such applicable taxes and telecommunication charges. Your purchase of any App, Virtual Item or other content constitutes your representation and warranty that you are of legal age to form a binding contract, and if not of legal age, that you have placed such order with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, and that you are not a person barred from using or receiving the Services by any local, state, federal or international law. All payments for purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms.

If you provide credit card information to us, you represent that you are the authorized user of the credit card that is used to pay the Subscription or other fees. If you order a Subscription, each month that you use the Services, you agree and reaffirm that we are authorized to charge your credit card for the Subscription fee. You agree to promptly notify us of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, and you agree to promptly notify us if your credit card expires or is canceled for any reason. We reserve the right to collect applicable taxes and impose premium surcharges for certain Services.

Subscriptions to STRESSAWAY Services may be made available to you on a monthly, yearly, or other periodic basis. By purchasing a Subscription, you authorize STRESSAWAY (and/or the App Provider concerned) to initiate recurring non-refundable payments until you cancel your Subscription. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or STRESSAWAY. Your Subscription continues until canceled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services or Subscription in accordance with these Terms.

Your purchase of a Subscription is final, and you will not be able to cancel the purchase or receive a refund of your Subscription fee at any time. If something unexpected happens while completing a purchase, we reserve the right to cancel your purchase for any reason. If we cancel your purchase, we’ll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such purchase. Without limiting the foregoing, you may cancel your Subscription at any time, but please note that such cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period. You will not receive a refund of any portion of the Subscription fee paid for the then-current Subscription period at the time of cancellation. You can cancel via the Site, or by sending an email to support@STRESSAWAY.app with the subject line “Cancel Subscription” and including your name, email and username associated with your Account, and your desired cancellation date in the body of the email. You will be responsible for all Subscription fees incurred for the then-current Subscription period. If you cancel, your right to use the Services will continue until the end of your then-current Subscription period and will then terminate without further charges.

Certain Services and Virtual Items may be made available to you for a charge. We assume no liability for purchaser error, trial versions, software purchased for the wrong device or platform, promotion codes or discounts not provided at the time of purchase, or any purchased item 90 days after the purchase date for any reason. We will not be liable for any errors on billing statements issued to you by your wireless carrier, or any App Provider. In no event will we be liable for any defects or other problems associated with downloads or purchases through the Services after a period of ninety (90) calendar days has expired from the date of such download or purchase, as applicable. Please read the system requirements very carefully before making any purchases. 

Virtual Items have no real-world value and cannot be redeemed for actual currency, goods, or other items of monetary value, even if you have unused Virtual Items remaining in your account at the time your account is closed, whether such closure was voluntary or not. All sales of Virtual Items are final. No refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion. The purchase of any Virtual Item is merely the purchase of a license to use the Virtual Item in the applicable Services and does not transfer ownership of that Virtual Item to you. This license is personal to you and cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, gifted, traded, or sublicensed. 

STRESSAWAY Gift Card Terms and Conditions

(“Terms”) apply to any purchase or use of a physical or virtual STRESSAWAY gift card, gift subscription, subscription card, gift certificate, or e-gift card and are in addition and subject to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy that govern your use of the Services. Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policy. By purchasing, accepting, or redeeming a Gift Card, you agree to these Terms.

For additional terms and conditions related to Gift Cards issued by Gift Up, visit  Gift Up Terms of Service page.

If you have any questions about your Gift Card or these Terms, please contact us at support@StressAway.app.

Purchase, Redemption, and Eligible Subscriptions

STRESSAWAY Gift Cards, which constitute pre-paid monthly or annual subscriptions to access STRESSAWAY, can be purchased online at STRESSAWAY.com. Gift Cards may be offered in various denominations, including but not limited to 1-month and 1-year subscriptions, as indicated on the Gift Card. Gift Cards are not valid on any other STRESSAWAY products or services. Please note that the value cannot be increased after a Gift Card is purchased.

Please note that the Gift Card’s value cannot be added to an existing Subscription that is currently billed through STRESSAWAY or a third-party subscription provider (e.g., the Meta Store). If you have an active STRESSAWAY Subscription, you will need to allow that Subscription to expire before you redeem your Gift Card.

To redeem the Gift Card, visit STRESSAWAY.app and sign into your account. If you do not have a STRESSAWAY account, you will be prompted to create one before redeeming your Gift Card. Your creation of a STRESSAWAY account is subject to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Once logged into your account, you will be able to enter the redemption code on the Gift Card.

After successfully redeeming your Gift Card, the entire value of the Gift Card will be credited to your account. When the length of the Subscription term ends, the Subscription will renew unless canceled by the account holder. Only one Gift Card may be added to your account at a time. Once you have redeemed a Gift Card, you must wait until the Subscription has ended to redeem another Gift Card.

STRESSAWAY Gift Cards are not refundable or redeemable for cash, either before or after redemption, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Sales tax may be applied. Once a Gift Card has been redeemed, the Subscription may not be transferred or assigned to another person or account. STRESSAWAY Gift Cards cannot be reloaded or resold, and any Gift Card that has been resold is subject to invalidation at STRESSAWAY’s sole discretion.

  1. Expiration and Risk of Loss

Unless otherwise specified, Gift Cards do not expire. Please keep your Gift Card and the code in a safe location. STRESSAWAY is not responsible for lost, stolen, or unauthorized use of Gift Cards.

MOBILE MESSAGING. The STRESSAWAY Alerts Mobile Service (the “Mobile Service”) is operated by STRESSAWAY. The Mobile Service allows users to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages by affirmatively opting-in, such as through online or application based enrollment forms.  Regardless of the opt-in method you used to enroll in the Mobile Service, you agree that your use of the Mobile Service is governed by these following terms and conditions. We may modify or cancel the Mobile Service or any of its features without notice. We may also modify these terms and conditions applicable to the Mobile Service at any time and your continued use of the Mobile Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.   

We do not charge for the Mobile Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider.  Message and Data Rates May Apply.  

By enrolling in the Mobile Service, you agree to receive SMS and MMS mobile messages sent by us or on our behalf to the telephone number you submitted when you enrolled in the Mobile Service.  You further agree that these messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS”), other automated systems for the selection or dialing of telephone numbers, or other messaging technology.  If your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list but you then opt-in to our Mobile Service, then you are agreeing to receive mobile messages and supersede your prior decision to be placed on the Do Not Call list. Your consent to receive mobile messages via an ATDS or other automated system for the selection or dialing of telephone numbers is not required (directly or indirectly) as a condition of purchasing any property, goods or services. If you have opted-in, the Mobile Service provides recurring updates, alerts, information, promotions, specials, and other marketing offers and communications from STRESSAWAY via mobile messages through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided. Message frequency varies and we may change the frequency of the messages you receive at any time, including in response to your interactions with us. Text the keyword STOP to [insert short code and long code] to unsubscribe at any time. When you opt-out, you agree we may send you an opt-out confirmation text message. If you have subscribed to other STRESSAWAY mobile message programs and wish to unsubscribe, you will need to opt-out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms. For Mobile Service support or assistance, text HELP to [insert short code and long code] or email support@STRESSAWAY.app.  

We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the Mobile Service at any time with notice to you.  You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.  

The wireless carriers supported by the Mobile Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number that you are authorized to use to receive mobile messages. If you change your mobile phone number, you agree to opt out of the Mobile Service prior to changing your mobile number.  

The Mobile Service is offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas or at all times and may not be supported by all wireless carriers. You agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Mobile Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or Mobile Service. 

GENERAL TERMS

Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between STRESSAWAY and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between STRESSAWAY and you regarding the Services and Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are using the Services upon the request, or at the direction of, your employer or another third party which has entered into a commercial arrangement with STRESSAWAY, the terms and conditions of such agreement will take precedence over these Terms. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, 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 STRESSAWAY’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. STRESSAWAY may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Indemnity. You will indemnify and hold harmless STRESSAWAY and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Services or Content, (ii) your User Content, or (iii) your violation of these Terms.

Limitation of Liability. NEITHER STRESSAWAY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES OR CONTENT WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT STRESSAWAY OR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

USE OF THE APP MAY AFFECT HEART AND BREATHING RATE, CAUSE UNINTENDED SIDE EFFECTS SUCH AS MOTION SICKNESS OR DISORIENTATION, OR AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE STRESSAWAY’S LIABILITY FOR RISKS INHERENT IN THE USE OF VIRTUAL REALITY SOFTWARE, AND STRESSAWAY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING FROM SUCH RISKS.

IN NO EVENT WILL STRESSAWAY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO STRESSAWAY FOR USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT OR TEN DOLLARS ($10), IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO STRESSAWAY, AS APPLICABLE.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN STRESSAWAY AND YOU.

Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and STRESSAWAY are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, and you and STRESSAWAY each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Dispute Resolution.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY 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 (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OR PROCEEDING. YOU AND STRESSAWAY AGREE THAT THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE TERMS, AND THAT YOU AND STRESSAWAY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.

EXCEPTIONS AND OPT-OUT. AS LIMITED EXCEPTIONS TO “MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES” ABOVE: (I) YOU MAY SEEK TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF IT QUALIFIES; AND (II) WE EACH RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM A COURT TO PREVENT (OR ENJOIN) THE INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. IN ADDITION, YOU WILL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION ENTIRELY AND LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IF YOU PROVIDE US WITH WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DESIRE TO DO SO BY EMAIL AT SUPPORT@STRESSAWAY.APP WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE YOU FIRST AGREE TO THESE TERMS.

CONDUCTING ARBITRATION AND ARBITRATION RULES. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) UNDER ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES (THE “AAA RULES”) THEN IN EFFECT, EXCEPT AS MODIFIED BY THESE TERMS. THE AAA RULES ARE AVAILABLE AT WWW.ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING 1-800-778-7879. A PARTY WHO WISHES TO START ARBITRATION MUST SUBMIT A WRITTEN DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION TO AAA AND GIVE NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY AS SPECIFIED IN THE AAA RULES. THE AAA PROVIDES A FORM DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION AT WWW.ADR.ORG. IF YOUR CLAIM IS FOR U.S. $10,000 OR LESS, YOU MAY CHOOSE WHETHER THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED TO THE ARBITRATOR, THROUGH A TELEPHONIC OR VIDEO-CONFERENCE HEARING, OR BY AN IN-PERSON HEARING AS ESTABLISHED BY THE AAA RULES. IF YOUR CLAIM EXCEEDS U.S. $10,000, THE RIGHT TO A HEARING WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE AAA RULES. ANY ARBITRATION HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE COUNTY (OR PARISH) WHERE YOU LIVE, UNLESS WE BOTH AGREE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY AND SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

ARBITRATION COSTS. PAYMENT OF ALL FILING, ADMINISTRATION AND ARBITRATOR FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA RULES. WE’LL PAY FOR ALL FILING, ADMINISTRATION AND ARBITRATOR FEES AND EXPENSES IF YOUR DISPUTE IS FOR LESS THAN $10,000, UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR FINDS YOUR DISPUTE FRIVOLOUS. IF WE PREVAIL IN ARBITRATION, WE’LL PAY ALL OF OUR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AND WON’T SEEK TO RECOVER THEM FROM YOU. IF YOU PREVAIL IN ARBITRATION, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND STRESSAWAY 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, IF THE PARTIES’ DISPUTE IS RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE ANOTHER PERSON’S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

EFFECT OF CHANGES ON ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF “CHANGES TO TERMS OR SERVICES” ABOVE, IF STRESSAWAY CHANGES ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” AFTER THE DATE YOU FIRST ACCEPTED THESE TERMS (OR ACCEPTED ANY SUBSEQUENT CHANGES TO THESE TERMS), YOU MAY REJECT ANY SUCH CHANGE BY SENDING US WRITTEN NOTICE (INCLUDING BY EMAIL TO SUPPORT@STRESSAWAY.COM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE SUCH CHANGE BECAME EFFECTIVE, AS INDICATED IN THE “LAST UPDATED” DATE ABOVE OR IN THE DATE OF STRESSAWAY’S EMAIL TO YOU NOTIFYING YOU OF SUCH CHANGE. BY REJECTING ANY CHANGE, YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU WILL ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND STRESSAWAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” AS OF THE DATE YOU FIRST ACCEPTED THESE TERMS (OR ACCEPTED ANY SUBSEQUENT CHANGES TO THESE TERMS).

SEVERABILITY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ANY OF THE PROVISIONS IN SECTION “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”, IF AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DECIDES THAT ANY PART OF THESE TERMS IS INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THE OTHER PARTS OF THESE TERMS WILL STILL APPLY.

Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by STRESSAWAY under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Waiver of Rights. STRESSAWAY’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of STRESSAWAY. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

Cookies and other technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:

  • Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.

  • Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.

  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email address was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

  • Session replay services, which employ software code to record users’ interactions with the Service in a manner that allows us to watch DVR-like replays of those user sessions. The replays include users’ clicks, mobile app touches, mouse movements, scrolls and keystrokes/key touches during those sessions. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement.

  • Software development kits (SDKs), or third-party computer code, that may be used for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of our applications, to integrate with social media, add features or functionality to our applications, or to facilitate online advertising. SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly from our applications.

 

Data about others. We may offer features that help users invite their friends or contacts to use the Service, and we may collect contact details about these invitees so we can deliver their invitations. Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact details with us unless you have their permission to do so.

How to contact us

 

Notice to European users

The information provided in this “Notice to European users” section applies only to individuals in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (i.e., “Europe” as defined at the top of this Privacy Policy).

Personal information. References to “personal information” in this Privacy Policy should be understood to include a reference to “personal data” governed by European data protection legislation, including the “GDPR” (i.e., the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“EU GDPR”) and the EU GDPR as it forms part of UK law (“UK GDPR”) – i.e., information about individuals from which they are either directly identified or can be identified.

Controller. STRESSAWAY, LLC. is the controller in respect of the processing of your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy for the purposes of the GDPR. See the ‘How to contact us’ section above for our contact details.

Our GDPR Representatives. We have appointed the following representatives in Europe as required by the GDPR – you can also contact them directly should you wish:

Our Representative in the EU. Our EU representative appointed under the EU GDPR is European Data Protection Office (EDPO). You can contact them:

Our Representative in the UK. Our UK representative appointed under the UK GDPR is EDPO UK Ltd. You can contact them:

Our legal bases for processing. In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your personal information, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a “legal basis” for that use.

Our legal bases for processing your personal information described in this Privacy Policy are listed below.

  • Where we need to perform a contract, we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (“Contractual Necessity”).

  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (“Legitimate Interests”). More detail about the specific legitimate interests pursued in respect of each Purpose we use your personal information for is set out in the table below.

  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (“Compliance with Law”).

  • Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the Purpose in question (“Consent”).

 

Special categories of personal information. In addition to the categories of personal information set out in the table above, we process certain special categories of personal information (e.g., health-related data, biometrics or genetic characteristics). We can only process such special categories of personal information with your consent. You are free to choose not to provide us with special categories of personal information. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such special categories, you may not be able to use certain elements of the Service.

For any special categories of personal data we process, we must establish a ‘condition’ to process such data in addition to a legal basis, because it is considered to be more sensitive in nature – for example, we may look to obtain your explicit consent to the processing of those special categories of personal data for one or more specified purposes (“Explicit Consent”).

Retention. We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for compliance and protection purposes.  

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. 

When we no longer require the personal information, we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

No Automated Decision-Making and Profiling. As part of the Service, we do not engage in automated decision-making and/or profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects. 

Your rights.  European data protection laws give you the right to ask us to take the following actions in relation to your personal information that we hold:

  • Access. Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.

  • Correct. Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.

  • Delete. Delete your personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it – you also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). 

  • Transfer. Transfer a machine-readable copy of your personal information to you or a third party of your choice.

  • Restrict. Restrict the processing of your personal information, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

  • Object. Object to our processing of your personal information where we are relying on Legitimate Interests – you also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

  • Withdraw Consent. When we use your personal information based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.  

 

Exercising These Rights. You may submit these requests by email to support@StressAway.app or our postal address provided above. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Whether or not we are required to fulfill any request you make will depend on a number of factors (e.g., why and how we are processing your personal information), if we reject any request you may make (whether in whole or in part) we will let you know our grounds for doing so at the time, subject to any legal restrictions.  

 

Your Right to Lodge a Complaint with your Supervisory Authority. In addition to your rights outlined above, if you are not satisfied with our response to a request you make, or how we process your personal information, you can make a complaint to the data protection regulator in your habitual place of residence.
