Last Modified: February 1, 2025

Welcome to KulaMind! This Terms of Service Agreement (the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), together with our Privacy Policy and our Acceptable Use Policy (collectively, the “Agreement”), governs your access and use of the services, including our website (kulamind.com) (the “Site”), applications on the Site, the KulaMind community, and any other products, features, apps, services, technologies, and software we offer (collectively, the “Services”), except where we expressly state that separate terms (and not these Terms) apply. The Services are owned and operated by KulaMind, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KulaMind,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The words “you”, “your”, “User” and “End User” means any individual or entity who uses any of our Services.

THESE TERMS AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS AND INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, A JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. SEE SECTION 12 BELOW.

SECTION 8 BELOW DESCRIBES TERMS APPLICABLE TO ANY SUBSCRIPTION PURCHASE MADE BY YOU. IF YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICE, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED AT THE END OF THE DISCLOSED BILLING PERIOD AT OUR THEN-CURRENT FEE FOR SUCH SERVICE, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (AS WE DESCRIBE IN SECTION 8 BELOW) PRIOR TO THE RENEWAL DATE.

By using the Services or accepting these Terms, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and our Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, or our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy, please do not use the Services.

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or change the Terms at any time. In certain circumstances, we may notify you of a change to the Terms via email or other means; however, you are responsible for regularly checking for notice of any changes. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of any change, and you will be legally bound by the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change to these Terms or the Agreement, you should stop using the Services immediately.

1. About the Services

KulaMind is a coaching and educational platform that offers personalized support, resources, community and skill training for people with loved ones with illnesses. The Services provided by KulaMind team are coaching, tele-coaching, webinars, email, text or chat communication.

Understanding the Differences Between Coaching & Psychotherapy

KulaMind does not offer psychotherapy services. Nor does KulaMind offer medical diagnosis or treatment.

That said, KulaMind coaches may also be licensed as clinical psychologists and/or psychotherapists, with training and experience in diagnosing and treating emotional problems. KulaMind coaches may also hold professional licenses in related fields such as counseling or social work. While there are some similarities between coaching and psychotherapy, they are very different activities and it is important that you understand the differences between them.

Both coaching and psychotherapy utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation and behavioral change, and interactive counseling techniques. The major differences are in the goals, focus, and level of professional responsibility, and that coaching generally is not reimbursable by health insurers. 

The focus of coaching is development and implementation of strategies to reach client-identified goals of enhanced performance and personal satisfaction. Coaching may address specific personal projects, life balance, job performance and satisfaction, or general conditions in the client’s life, business, or profession. Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, brainstorming, motivational counseling, and other counseling techniques.

The purposes of psychotherapy are identification, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and nervous disorders. The goals of psychotherapy include alleviating symptoms, understanding the underlying dynamics which create symptoms, changing dysfunctional behaviors which are the result of these disorders, and developing new strategies for successfully coping with the psychological challenges which we all face. Most research on psychotherapy outcomes indicates that the quality of the relationship is most closely correlated with therapeutic progress. Psychotherapy patients are often emotionally vulnerable. This vulnerability is increased by the expectation that they will discuss very intimate personal data and expose feelings about themselves about which they are understandably sensitive. The past life experiences of psychotherapy patients have often made trust difficult to achieve. These factors give psychotherapists disproportionate power that creates a fiduciary responsibility to protect the safety of their clients and not to harm them.

The relationship between the coach and client avoids the power differentials that occur in the psychotherapy relationship. The client sets the agenda and the success of the enterprise depends on the client’s willingness to take risks and try new approaches. The relationship is designed to be more direct and challenging. You can rely on your coach to be honest and straightforward, asking powerful questions and using challenging techniques to move you forward. You are expected to evaluate progress and when coaching is not working as you wish, you should immediately inform your coach so we can both take steps to correct the problem. 

Because of these differences, the roles of coach and psychotherapist are often in potential conflict. KulaMind and its coaches believe that, under most circumstances, it would not be appropriate for one KulaMind coach to play both roles with a client, whether concurrently or sequentially. Positive change is difficult enough without having to worry about role confusion. This means that if either of us recognizes that you have a problem that would benefit from psychotherapeutic intervention, your KulaMind coach can refer you to appropriate resources. In some situations, your KulaMind coach may insist that you initiate psychotherapy, and may ask that your coach have access to your psychotherapist in order to effectively continue the KulaMind coaching relationship. 

It is also important to understand that coaching is a professional relationship. While it may often feel like a close personal relationship, it is not one that can extend beyond professional boundaries both during and after our work together. Considerable experience shows that when boundaries blur, the benefits gained from the coaching relationship are endangered.

One other important difference is that psychotherapy is a health care service and is usually reimbursable through health insurance policies. This may not be true for the coaching services offered by KulaMind. KulaMind does not submit claims to health care insurers or accept assignments of health care benefits; you are encouraged to ask your health care plan if KulaMind coaching services are reimbursable to you.

By using the KulaMind Services, including any KulaMind coaching services, you acknowledge these differences between coaching and psychotherapy, you understand that KulaMind coaches do not and will not provide psychotherapy services to you (unless you and your KulaMind coach enter into a separate agreement for such services) and that your use of the Services does not form a psychologist-patient relationship or a psychotherapist-patient relationship, and you affirmatively consent to enter into a coaching relationship with KulaMind and your KulaMind coach.

Confidentiality in the Coaching Relationship

As a coaching service, the coaches on the KulaMind team take seriously their obligations to protect the confidentiality of coaching communications. The KulaMind team will have access to your information and coaching communications in order to provide the best quality of service possible. KulaMind, and KulaMind coaches, will only release information about your coaching sessions to others outside of KulaMind with your written permission, or in response to a valid court order. But you must understand that there are some situations in which KulaMind coaches may be legally obligated to break confidentiality with you in order to protect you or others from harm. For example, if a KulaMind coach learns of information indicating that a child is being abused, the coach must report that information to the appropriate state agency. For another example, if a KulaMind User is an imminent risk to themself, or makes threats of imminent violence against another, the KulaMind coach may be required to take protective actions. While these or similar situations are generally rare in coaching, they can occur. If such a situation occurs in your relationship, your KulaMind coach will seek to discuss it with you before taking any action outside of the coaching relationship, but there may be situations in which a KulaMind coach will need to break confidentiality and contact appropriate agencies or other authorities without being able to communicate with you in advance of doing so. By using the KulaMind Services, you acknowledge and consent to these confidentiality provisions. 

In addition, you acknowledge that it is impossible to completely protect the confidentiality of information that is transmitted electronically, and that there may be the potential for such communications to be intercepted or otherwise accessed by others during transmission and in storage. This is particularly true of e-mail and information stored on computers that are connected to the internet, which do not utilize encryption and other forms of security protection. Notwithstanding this potential, you agree and consent to the use of electronic communications for purposes of receiving Services provided by KulaMind.

You also acknowledge that some KulaMind coaching sessions are conducted in a group format. By participating in any group coaching session, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of all information communicated to you by other coaching participants and by your coach. While you and we both understand that progress is often enhanced when you are allowed to discuss your coaching relationship with trusted colleagues and friends, you agree that you will not in any way share information that could or does lead to the identification of other participants in a group coaching setting. If you are ever in doubt regarding what to reveal and what not to reveal, you agree to err on the side of protecting the privacy of others, which is a vital and nonnegotiable element of such group interaction.

7. Payments, Refunds and Taxes

Paying For KulaMind Services. Certain KulaMind Services, including but not limited to subscriptions, are provided for a charge. Payments for all charged Services must be made using a valid payment method through the third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) that we designate. We may designate a different Payment Processor at any time, for any reason. You must provide valid, up-to-date payment information to the Payment Processor. By providing your payment information to the Payment Processor, you acknowledge that KulaMind does not operate, own, or control the Payment Processor, and that your use of your payment method with the Payment Processor is governed by your separate agreement with, and the privacy policy of, the Payment Processor, and not by these Terms or this Agreement. You agree to immediately notify the Payment Processor of any change in your payment information (such as payment method, account number, billing address or other information), and maintain current information as required by the Payment Processor. If your payment fails, if we or the Payment Processor suspects fraud, or if Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse any charges), we may immediately cancel your subscription or revoke your access to the charged Services until you provide a valid payment method to our Payment Processor. KulaMind is not responsible if your subscription or other charged Services are terminated due to invalid payment information.

Refunds. We may have a posted refund policy for some of our Services, and we'll also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final.

Taxes. To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all charges do not include applicable federal, state, local or other governmental sales, value-added, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges ("Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your subscriptions. If we become obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the fees you have paid or will pay, you will be responsible for those Taxes, and we may collect payment from you.

Price Changes. We reserve the right at any time to change our prices, refund policy, and billing methods, subject to any obligations to provide notice of such changes under applicable law. If you do not wish to accept a price change, you may cancel your Services, including subscriptions as described in Section 8 below. If you do not timely cancel your subscription, your subscription will be renewed at the price in effect at the time of the renewal, without any additional action by you, and you authorize us to charge your payment method for these amounts. We will not be able to notify you of any changes in applicable Taxes.

8. Subscriptions

KulaMind Subscriptions. Most KulaMind Services require a monthly subscription. Among other things, subscriptions include your own dedicated coach with expertise in mental health coaching, video sessions and text message support, personalized resources and skills tailored to your needs, KulaMind’s suite of digital tools, progress tracking, and access to the KulaMind community.

Free Trials. You may have access to a free trial period, or an initial limited set of free Services (such as a free initial consultation) (“Free Trial”). You are allowed only one Free Trial regardless of your subscription method. We reserve the right to determine eligibility for Free Trials, which may vary based on factors including our marketing promotions or whether you have received a Free Trial previously. If offered, Free Trials will automatically convert to a paid monthly subscription after use. You can preclude the automatic conversion by following the cancellation instructions set forth in the paragraph “Subscription Cancellation” below.

Subscriptions Automatically Renew Monthly. Once you sign up for a KulaMind subscription, your subscription will automatically renew each month until you cancel in accordance with the instructions for cancelation below, and you will automatically be charged the associated fee (plus any applicable taxes) until you cancel. You can always determine your next renewal date and current fee by accessing your “Billing” page on the KulaMind Site.

Subscription Cancellation. If you wish to cancel your KulaMind subscription, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of your current billing period to avoid being charged for the next billing period. After cancellation, you will have access to your subscription through the last day of your current billing period, at which point your subscription (and access to the Services provided through your subscription) will be terminated. We do not provide partial refunds for subscriptions that are cancelled during a subscription period.

You may cancel your subscription(s) any time by accessing the “Unsubscribe” button on the “Subscription” page of the KulaMind Site.

To access subscription Services after discontinuing your paid subscription, you may need to purchase a new subscription, subject to then-current fees, terms, and conditions.

12. Disputes Policy; Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver 

You and KulaMind agree that any legal claim or dispute arising from the Terms, the Agreement, or your use of the Services, will be resolved as outlined in this Section. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND KULAMIND HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

KulaMind and you agree that the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate, including determinations of arbitrability, are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and applicable federal law. In all other respects, the Terms and the Agreement shall be governed by the laws of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against KulaMind (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in New York, New York. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes, and waive any contention that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.

Legal notices shall be served on the KulaMind’s registered agent (in the case of KulaMind) or your email address on file with us (in your case). Notice by us to you shall be deemed given within twenty-four (24) hours after the email is sent. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to any physical address you have on file with us. In such a case, notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after the date of mailing. It is your responsibility to keep your contact information updated.

Informal Dispute Resolution

We want to address any concerns you may have without needing a formal legal case. You agree that prior to submitting any dispute or claim to arbitration for resolution, you and we will make a good faith effort to resolve it informally. To initiate this good faith effort to informally resolve a dispute, you agree to notify us in writing at KulaMind, 251 West 91st Street PHA, New York, NY 10024, Attn: Compliance Officer, of the nature of the dispute, the basis for your claims and the resolution that you are seeking, including any monetary amount, with as much detail as you can provide so that we can gain a sufficient understanding of the dispute. During the 60 days from our receipt of this notice, you agree to engage in good faith efforts to resolve the dispute, including personally participating in a telephone call with us. You may have a lawyer attend the call with you if you wish. If the dispute is not resolved within those 60 days (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you or we may thereafter commence arbitration to resolve the dispute consistent with the process set forth below. Compliance with and completion of this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding, such as filing an arbitration or a small claims court proceeding. You and we agree to toll the statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. We will send any dispute related notice to you at the contact information we have for you.

Agreement to Arbitrate

If we are unable to resolve the dispute through the mandatory informal dispute resolution process described above, and with one exception as set forth below, we and you agree to settle any controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes between you and us or you and a third-party agent of ours (each a "Claim") through binding and final arbitration, rather than through court proceedings. This arbitration will follow the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules"), as applicable, with modifications outlined in this Agreement to Arbitrate. You can find the AAA Rules at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will decide all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator is not bound by rulings in previous arbitrations involving different Users but is bound by rulings in previous arbitrations involving the same User as required by applicable law. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration is final and binding and can be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Both you and we agree that the arbitration proceedings will be kept confidential. The existence of the proceeding and any element of it, including pleadings, briefs, documents exchanged, testimony, oral submissions, and awards, will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as lawfully required in judicial proceedings related to the arbitration, by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies, or as specifically permitted by state law.

The one exception is that either party has the right to bring an individual claim against the other in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction, or, if filed in arbitration, the responding party may request that the dispute proceed in small claims court if the party’s claim is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. If the responding party requests to proceed in small claims court before the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitration shall be administratively closed, and if requested after the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall determine if the dispute should be decided in arbitration or if the arbitration should be administratively closed and decided in small claims court.

Arbitration Initiation

If you or we are unable to resolve any Claims informally, you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must send a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to us at the following address: 251 West 91st Street PHA, New York, NY 10024, attention Compliance Department. In the event we initiate arbitration against you, we will send a copy of the completed form to any physical address we have on file associated with your account, or to your email address if no physical address is on file. Any party to the arbitration may, at any time more than ten (10) days before arbitration, serve an offer of compromise in writing upon any other party to the action.

Costs of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief (the "Class Action Waiver")

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS OR GROUP ACTION. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE IN A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER KULAMIND USERS. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH'S PROHIBITIONS ON CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS AS TO ANY CLAIM, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND RESOLVED IN COURT, SUBJECT TO YOUR AND OUR RIGHT TO APPEAL THE COURT'S DECISIONS. ALL OTHER CLAIMS WILL BE ARBITRATED.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

IN ALL EVENTS, YOU AND WE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT YOU OR WE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT, IF AND TO THE EXTENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM, THAT CLAIM WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
