9.1 Pricing and Fees. In addition to the Services, we provide certain products for sale on our Website. If you wish to purchase any products or services through the Website (“Products”), you will be required to supply certain information applicable to your purchase, including payment, billing, contact, and other information. Any such information will be treated as described in our Privacy Policy. All information that you provide to us or our third party payment processor must be accurate, current and complete. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARDS OR OTHER PAYMENT MEANS USED TO INITIATE ANY TRANSACTION. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any users of your Account and credit card (or other applicable payment mechanism) at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your purchases. Verification of information applicable to a purchase may be required prior to our acceptance of any order. The price of the product or service will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order, subject to any future adjustments of our prices. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price and payment terms advised to you is correct. However, please see Section 9.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of your order. All payments, including with respect to cancelled Services or returned Products, shall be subject to the terms set forth in Section 4.1 above and Section 9.3 below. Each Customer acknowledges and agrees that ALTYR reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge Customer for and collect fees from the Customer.
9.2 Product Descriptions. Descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products, prices, and availability of any Products are subject to change without notice, and our current prices can be found on the Website. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our Products, including the applicable colors; however, the actual color you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors. The inclusion of any Products on the Website at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use, and sale of any item purchased through the Website. By placing an order, you represent that the Products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner. We reserve the right, with or without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue any Product; to honor, cancel or impose conditions or limitations on the honoring of, any coupon, coupon code, promotional code, referral credit or other similar promotions; to bar any user from making any or all purchases; and to refuse to provide any user with any product or service.
9.3 When you must pay and how you must pay. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any users of your Account and payment card (or other applicable payment mechanism) at the amounts in effect when such charges are incurred. Customers must provide ALTYR with a valid credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other accepted issuer) or another payment or financial mechanism specified by ALTYR (“Payment Provider”) as a condition to making any payments. Practitioners must support the use of the Payment Providers and provide ALTYR with valid bank account information (e.g. account and routing number) as a condition to receiving any payments. The Customer’s Payment Provider agreement governs its use of the designated credit or debit card or other payment mechanism, and the Customer should refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine its rights and liabilities. ALTYR uses Stripe as the third-party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services). By paying for the Services, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy and hereby consent and authorize us and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide with Payment Provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.

If you cancel, your subscription will terminate immediately following such cancellation, and will not be renewed. Following termination of your ALTYR monthly subscription, you will not be entitled to any related discounts that were in effect during your subscription term. Following cancellation of a ALTYR monthly subscription, you may be restricted for up to six (6) months from purchasing another ALTYR monthly subscription. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the subscription period during which you cancelled.

9.7 Shipments. ALTYR currently only ships products to addresses within the 48 contiguous United States. When you place an order, we will confirm your address by sending an email to the email address you provided when you placed your order. Your placement of an order through our Websites or Apps is an offer to purchase the products and/or services ordered and we may accept your order by processing your payment and shipping the products or making available your purchased services. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. For any reason, we may decline to accept your order or any part of your order. No order will be considered accepted by ALTYR until the product(s) has been shipped or service(s) made available. If some of products in your order are temporarily out of stock, we will ship the available products only and notify you of any products that cannot be fulfilled. If we decline to accept your order, we will attempt to notify you at the email address you provided. We further reserve the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order.
9.8 Returns. A product is deemed irrevocably accepted upon your use of the product. You may return purchased products that have not been opened or used within seven (7) days of purchase for a refund of the purchase price for such returned product. You will be responsible for all shipping and handling charges in connection with any return.
9.9 What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services or products we offer may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
9.10 What if I think I was charged incorrectly? You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or any right to dispute such charges will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be directed to the following address: support@THEALTYR.com.
9.11 For Practitioners. Each Practitioner hereby appoints ALTYR as the Practitioner’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting applicable payment from Customers. The details of this appointment are separately set forth in each Practitioner’s Independent Contractor Agreement. Each Practitioner agrees that payment made by a Customer through ALTYR shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Practitioner, and the Practitioner will provide its services to the Customer in the agreed-upon manner as if the Practitioner has received the payment. Each Practitioner understands that ALTYR accepts payments from Customers as the Practitioner’s limited payment collection agent and that ALTYR’s obligation to pay the Practitioner is subject to and conditioned upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Customers. ALTYR does not guarantee payments to Practitioners for amounts that have not been successfully received by ALTYR from Customers. In accepting appointment as the limited payment collection agent of the Practitioner, ALTYR assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Customers. ALTYR reserves the right at its discretion to cancel or reverse any payment, even if it has been previously confirmed by ALTYR, as a result of any mistake or error, including any mistaken pricing or service description or other error.
9.12 What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment? If you are a Practitioner or Customer, you agree to ALTYR’s cancellation and rescheduling policy and the associated charges and payments, the terms of which are located at 9.4 and are incorporated herein by reference. Cancellations and Refunds: Cancellation notices must be received by email 24 hours before your appointment or you will be charged for the full price of the appointment.

If a client is exhibiting symptoms commonly associated with CO-VID 19, has been diagnosed with CO-VID 19, or has been exposed to someone diagnosed with CO-VID 19, we will waive the above cancellation policy for your in-person session and reschedule your appointment at least 10 days in the future.

The Privacy Policy is fully incorporated herein by reference.
(a) For Practitioners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, you: (a) may only process, retain, transfer, copy, use and disclose any personal information (including without limitation, “personal information” as defined under CCPA) you access or obtain through the Services to provide “on demand” holistic services to individuals through the Services, and for no other purpose; (b) you may not sell, rent or lease personal information you access or obtain through the Services, including without limitation any “sale” or “selling” as defined under the CCPA; and (c) shall comply with the CCPA and any regulations or regulatory guidance related thereto, as applicable.

17.3 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, consistent with the federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. For any proceedings not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 17.6, you and we agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles County, California. This means that, if you are a citizen of a country in the EU, you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with this Agreement in California or in the EU country in which you live.
17.4 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
17.5 Rights and Remedies. Unless stated otherwise, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity, or otherwise.
17.6 Arbitration Agreement: Mandatory Arbitration and Dispute Resolution for United States and Canadian Users. Please read this Section 17.6 (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with ALTYR and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between ALTYR and a user, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all claims and disputes (excluding only those claims described in Subsections 17(m)-(o) below) arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the Services or any communication from ALTYR to any User (including, without limitation, any claims arising under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. section 227) that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you, the ALTYR Parties, your and their respective predecessors-in-interest, successors, and assigns, and to all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Agreement.
(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before any party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party or parties a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to ALTYR should be sent to: Director of Operations, ALTYR, 3304 Bennett Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068. After the Notice is received, you and ALTYR or the applicable ALTYR Parties may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If the parties do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, any party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, such as that administered by FairClaims (www.fairclaims.com), at the option of the Company. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearing. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that ALTYR made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, ALTYR will pay you the greater of the award or fifty dollars ($50). Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(e) Time Limits. If you or any ALTYR Party pursues arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the applicable statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the JAMS Rules for the pertinent claim.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the ALTYR Parties, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual party under applicable law, the JAMS Rules, and the Agreement. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the ALTYR Parties. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall follow the applicable law.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and any ALTYR Parties in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(h) Waiver of Class, Representative or Consolidated Actions. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations set forth in this Subsection 17.6(h) as to a given claim for relief, then the applicable claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(j) Severability. Except as provided in Subsection 17.6(h), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(k) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
(l) Survival of Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement or your relationship with ALTYR.
(m) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the ALTYR Parties may bring an individual action in small claims court if the action qualifies and advances solely in such court on an individual basis.
(n) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency interim equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
(p) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County, California, for such purpose.
(q) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing ALTYR at the following address: Director of Operations, ALTYR, 3304 Bennett Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068.
17.7 If any of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest will continue in force. Each term of the Agreement operates separately. Except as provided in Section 17.6(h), if any term of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific term shall be of no force or effect and shall be severed and the remaining terms will remain in full force and effect.
17.8 Assignment. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without ALTYR’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another company or organization – for example, this could include another member of our group of companies or someone who buys our business. We will notify our active Users in writing if this happens.
17.9 International Users. The Services are controlled and offered by ALTYR from its facilities in the United States of America. ALTYR makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
17.10 Force Majeure. ALTYR shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, power or Internet outage, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, pandemics, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
17.11 Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Services except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law.
17.12 Consumer Complaints. You may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
17.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
