Zen will have no liability in connection with your ability to secure reimbursement for any such Medical Treatment. You acknowledge and agree that Zen will not file any claims with your insurance benefit plan, the Medicare program, a state Medicaid program, or any other third party medical benefits program, and that the services you receive from or through Zen may not be eligible for reimbursement under such plans. You acknowledge, understand and agree that when using the Service, you may be responsible for standard phone, data and messaging charges from your wireless carrier. Under no circumstances will Zen be responsible for any wireless email, data, phone, or text messaging charges incurred by you or by a person that has access to your wireless device, telephone number, or email address.

f. Cancellations. If you cancel before your scheduled Treatment or Medical Treatment, then Zen may charge you a cancellation fee, which will be set forth in the Cancellation Policy.

g. Dispute Resolution. Although Zen retains the right to mediate any dispute between you and a Provider or a Healthcare Provider, all disputes between you and such Provider or Healthcare Provider must ultimately be resolved between you and the Provider or Healthcare Provider directly. All sales booked through the Service are final and Zen provides no refunds, except as determined in Zen’s sole discretion. For avoidance of doubt, Zen will not refund you for any reason if you receive a Treatment or Medical Treatment, except as determined in its sole discretion. If you engage in conduct deemed inappropriate or unsafe by a Provider or Healthcare Provider, as determined in the Provider’s sole discretion, including, but not limited to, making inappropriate requests, engaging in inappropriate touching, or the Provider or Healthcare Provider perceives a threat to his/her safety or well-being, and such conduct results in a Provider or Healthcare Provider ending the Treatment or Medical Treatment prior to the end of the allotted time, Zen will not refund you.

j. Concierge Tip. Concierge Members will receive a tip for any Treatments booked through the Service in an amount set forth on the Service, which amount Zen may change from time-to-time in its sole discretion (“Concierge Tip“). The Concierge Member must provide to Zen any information and/or documentation that Zen needs to pay the Concierge Tip to the Concierge Member (including, without information, a W-9 form and any other tax-related information). Zen will pay the Concierge Tip to the Concierge Member on a weekly basis through the Automated Clearing House. With respect to each Treatment the Concierge Member books through the Service, the Concierge Member must include all information required by the Service and any other relevant information that would be necessary and/or helpful to enable the Provider to provide the Treatment, which includes, without limitation, the Treatment recipient’s name and address, any parking instructions and whether the Provider must supply a massage table, or any other equipment.

  1. Referral Program. You may be able to earn free Treatments by inviting friends to book through Zen using the promo code assigned to you by Zen (“Code“). Codes are for personal and non-commercial use only and may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner. This means that you are welcome to share your Code with friends, family and your social network, so long as you are the primary content owner of such network. Both you and each friend or family member who signs up with your Code and completes a Treatment will receive the credit set forth on the Service (“Credit“). Codes are not intended for distribution on public sites, such as Yelp or Facebook, coupon code websites, such as retailmenot, via search engines. We reserve the right to disable your Code in our sole discretion. Codes (a) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that Zen establishes for such Code; (b) are not valid for cash; and (c) may expire prior to your use. Zen reserves the right to withhold or deduct Credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Codes by you or any other user in the event that Zen determines or believes that the use or redemption of the Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Code terms or these Terms.
  2. Providing Treatments. The terms governing Providers with respect to providing Treatments are set forth in the Provider Agreement.

 

  1. E-commerce and Zen Store. Zen, through itself or its affiliates, offers a curated list of products from various partners, and additional terms may apply via Zen’s online ecommerce store (“Zen Store“). When you purchase an item from the Zen Store, you are also subject to the guidelines, terms, and agreements applicable to the manufacturer or distributor of that product. Depending on the product purchased, the manufacturer or distributor may handle the return, refund, recall, or exchange.

Zen is under no obligation to maintain any link on the Service and may remove a link at any time in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever.

 

  1. Dispute Resolution

a. Mandatory Arbitration. Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. YOU AND ZEN AND EACH OF OUR RESPECTIVE CORPORATE PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS, AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.

i. Commencing Arbitration. A party seeking arbitration must first send to the other by mail or electronic mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Notice“), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by you to Zen, to you via any other method available to Zen, including via e-mail. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA“) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (THE “Rules“), AS MODIFIED BY THESE TERMS. The Rules and AAA forms are available at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee to commence arbitration against Zen, then Zen will promptly reimburse you for your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon Zen’s receipt of Notice at the Address that you have commenced arbitration along with a receipt for the filing fee, unless your Demand is equal to or greater than $1,000 or was filed in bad faith.

ii. Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration will be in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator with his or her primary place of business in New York County, New York, will be appointed pursuant to the Rules, as modified herein. You and Zen agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens on the parties: (A) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (B) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and (C) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

iii. No Class Actions. YOU AND ZEN AGREE THAT YOU AND ZEN 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, YOU AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND THAT IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISO IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THIS ENTIRE MANDATORY ARBITRATION SECTION WILL BE NULL AND VOID.

iv. Decision of the Arbitrator. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this deadline by 30 days in the interests of justice. Arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential, and all related records will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the award. The award will be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the reasons for the claim’s disposition. The arbitrator will apply New York state law during the arbitration. You agree that these terms and your use of the App evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the Mandatory Arbitration clause in These Terms. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Zen will pay you the highest of the following: (A) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (B) the last written settlement amount offered by Zen in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (C) $1,000.

b. Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 21 do not apply to any claim in which Zen seeks equitable relief of any kind. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms by Zen or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Zen, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth above.

c. Claims. You and Zen agree that, notwithstanding any other rights the party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

d. Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against Zen must be resolved in accordance with this Section 21. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section 21 will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section 21, Zen may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000, provided that Zen has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

e. Modifications. If Zen changes the Mandatory Arbitration provision (other than a change to Zen’s Address), then you may reject any such change by sending us written notice to Zen’s Address within 30 days of the change, in which case your Account and your right to use the Service will terminate immediately, and this Section 21, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive termination of these Terms.

f. Enforceability. If only Section 21.a.iii or the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 will be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

  1. Governing Law; Choice of Forum. The laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern these Terms and your use of the Service. Your use of the Service may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws; provided, however, that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any provision of these Terms. To the extent that any action relating to any dispute hereunder is permitted to be brought in a court of law, such action will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York and you hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction in such courts, and waive any defense of inconvenient forum.

 

  1. Feedback. While our staff continually works to develop and evaluate our own product ideas and features, we pride ourselves on paying close attention to the interests, feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from our Users. If you send us or our employees any ideas or suggestions for products, services, features, modifications, enhancements, content, promotions, strategies, or product/feature names, or any related materials (collectively “Feedback“), then regardless of what your communication may say, the following terms apply, to avoid future misunderstandings. By sending us Feedback, you agree that:

a. Zen will own, exclusively, all known or later discovered rights to the Feedback;

b. Zen will not be subject to any obligation of confidentiality and will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Feedback; and

c. Zen will be entitled to unrestricted use of the Feedback for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you or any other person.

  1. Entire Agreement; Variation. These Terms and any license contained in Zen’s products set forth the entire agreement between Zen and you with respect to the Service; provided, however, that: (1) Providers will also be required to enter into the Provider Agreement and sometimes also an addendum to the Provider Agreement; (2) Zen may enter into additional agreements with you (such as, for example, the Massage Zenot Membership Program Agreement). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Provider Agreement, the terms of the Provider Agreement will govern. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Massage Zenot Membership Program Agreement, the Massage Zenot Membership Program Agreement will govern.

 

  1. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provisions will be modified, or if not possible, severed, to reflect the fullest valid, legal and enforceable expression of the intent of the parties and the remainder of these Terms will not be affected thereby.

 

  1. Relationship of Parties. Nothing herein will be deemed to create an employer-employee relationship between Zen and you, nor any agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the right to bind the other to any obligation, nor have the right to incur any liability on behalf of the other.

 

  1. Waiver. No delay, omission, or failure to exercise any right or remedy provided herein will be deemed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence in the event giving rise to such right or remedy, but every such right or remedy may be exercised, from time to time as may be deemed expedient by the party exercising such remedy or right.
