1. Scope of Agreement

This Terms of Service Agreement and Consent to Care (together, this “Agreement”) is between you and Starling Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Joon Care (“Joon Care,” “Joon,” “UpLift,” “we” or “us”), and governs your access and use of the Joon website located at joon.com (“Site”), the Joon mobile applications (“App”) and the services made available through the Site and the App (collectively the “Platform”).

‍

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be legally bound by this Agreement. Your use of the Platform is also subject to the terms of the Joon Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Platform. We may change the terms of this Agreement at any time. If we make any changes to the terms of this Agreement, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Agreement, and any changes will be effective when posted on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform constitutes your acceptance of any such changes.

‍

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. The Platform is not intended for the use of persons under the age of 13, and we do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is a child under the age of 13. Therapy Services (as defined below) are only available to persons age 18 or older, or those persons who are at least age 13 but under the age of 18 who have the consent and involvement of a parent or guardian.

‍

This website is intended for, and should only be used, by individuals residing within the United States.

‍

2. Therapy Services and Treatment Providers

The Platform may be used to connect you with a Treatment Provider who will provide services to you through the Platform (“Therapy Services”). A “Treatment Provider” is a regulated, trained, mental health professional who is permitted to provide Therapy Services in your state of residence. Treatment Providers may include, but are not limited to, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, registered psychotherapists, and professional counselors. All of our Treatment Providers undergo a background screening, reference check, and interview, and are required to provide Joon with digital copies of their license and proof of liability insurance. If you feel the Therapy Services provided by a Treatment Provider do not fit your needs or expectations, you may request, and pending availability, may change to a different Treatment Provider within the Platform. Please email support@joon.com or inform your Treatment Provider.

‍

We hope you will find the Therapy Services beneficial, however, you understand and agree that they may not be appropriate for every individual’s needs in their specific situation. The Therapy Services may not be a complete or appropriate substitute for an in-person examination and/or care for a particular situation.

‍

The content on the Platform is informational only and is not intended to be, and should not be considered, medical advice. Mental health advice is limited solely to information provided by a Treatment Provider during the Therapy Services.

‍

Joon takes steps to verify Treatment Provider credentialing, but makes no representation regarding the accuracy of such credentials, and expressly disclaims any liability for fraudulent credentials or other representations or claims made by Treatment Providers. We encourage you to inquire about your Treatment Provider’s credentials in order to find the best fit for your needs.
