Changes to the Terms
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. When we do so, we will post the most current version of the Terms on the Site or otherwise through the Services and, if a revision to the Terms is material, we will also notify you of the new Terms (for example, by email to the address provided by you when registering or through a notification on or through our Services). Changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should discontinue your use of the Services.
Services
The Services enable those individuals (“Patient(s)”) that are seeking medical or healthcare services to connect with individuals or entities seeking to provide such medical or healthcare services (“Providers”). The performance of services by one or more Providers is referred to as a “Healthcare Services.” The Services connect Providers who want to make available and provide Healthcare Services to Patients, and give Patients a way to find those Providers and arrange Healthcare Services.
SkyTherapist does not control whether a Provider chooses to offer any particular Healthcare Services through the Services or otherwise. SkyTherapist also does not have control over whether a Provider will agree to provide any Healthcare Services. Unless otherwise agreed upon between Provider and SkyTherapist, accepting services through the Services does not preclude a Provider from providing services under another platform, or for other persons simultaneously.
WITH RESPECT TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS, SKYTHERAPIST IS A PLATFORM AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROVISION OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO PATIENT BY PROVIDERS OR PERFORMANCE OF PATIENT’S OBLIGATIONS TO PROVIDERS. IT IS THE PROVIDER’S SOLE DECISION WHETHER TO OFFER FOR AND PROVIDE THE HEALTHCARE OR OTHER SERVICES REQUESTED BY PATIENTS AND PATIENT’S SOLE DECISION WHETHER TO ENGAGE A PROVIDER.
Access to the Services
Whether you are a Patient or a Provider, you must be approved and on-boarded by SkyTherapist in its sole discretion. It is a condition of your use of the Services that you provide your valid email address, payment information and create a password to register your profile and that all information you provide on or through the Services, including payment information, is correct, current and complete. You may be required to provide proof of identity or other method of identity verification to access or use the Services in some instances, and you agree that you may be denied access to or use of the Services if you decline to provide proof of identity or other method of identity verification when requested as such. You agree that all information you provide to register for the Services is governed by the Privacy Policy and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.
With respect to Providers, you acknowledge that SkyTherapist may perform background checks, which you hereby authorize, and require you to go through other verification and approval processes determined by SkyTherapist on its sole discretion from time to time.
Patient Billing and Payments
We may provide Providers or Patients access to the Services free of charge in our sole discretion which may be changed at any time. If we do charge fees, we will present them to you and you shall be responsible for paying for all such applicable fees for the Services, including all subscription fees due for your use of the Services, as well as any other charges or fees you agree to pay from time to time. In using our Services, you may be charged local sales tax or other taxes. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, in no event shall you be entitled to any refund of any amounts paid. A late charge of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law will be added to past due accounts until paid in full. All reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, court costs and service charges incurred by us in collecting payment will be paid by you. Credit terms, if any, are at our discretion and are subject to change.
By registering for the Services and providing your payment information, you agree that we may save your payment information for your convenience. If your payment method is declined, we will attempt to process your charge until the transaction is approved. We, and our third party payment service providers, may request and receive, updated credit card information from your credit card issuer, such as updated card numbers and expiration date information when your credit card has expired. If such updated information is provided to us and our third-party payment service providers, we will update your account information accordingly, and will use such updated information to process payments for your future purchases and subscriptions. If your bank or credit card issuer reverses a charge to your credit card, we may bill your account directly and seek payment through another method, including a mailed statement.
Payments Between Users

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, without reference to its choice and conflict of law rules. Subject to the arbitration provisions below, exclusive venue for any action arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall be in state or federal courts, as applicable, in Atlanta, Georgia. The parties each hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue and waive any objections to such jurisdiction and venue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that SkyTherapist shall be entitled to apply for injunctive remedies or other equitable relief in any jurisdiction.
Excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, for any claim where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online or be solely based on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration each party waives any right to a jury trial.
Subject to applicable law to the contrary, you agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or such action will be permanently barred.
