Our Services – What we do

Cleo provides referral services which match users with healthcare professionals and experts (“Experts”). These Experts possess specialized experience in various fields that make them uniquely qualified to assist families in their transition to parenthood. The Experts provide instruction and education in areas such as health care, wellness services and perinatal coaching. Upon Cleo’s determination, Experts may also provide users with coaching and guidance services related to the users’ transition to parenthood. Such services, together with the referral services provided by Cleo, shall hereafter be referred to as the “Services”). Cleo’s Services DO NOT include medical services, and are limited to the provision of this Website that connects you with Experts and coaching and guidance services related to aiding families with their transition to parenthood.

Depending on your needs, Cleo’s Experts may provide you with, among other things:

  • peer-to-peer support,
  • encouragement,
  • education,
  • instruction and
  • practical tips to help in your transition to parenthood, as well as healthcare and wellness services via in-person, phone or video chat sessions (each, a “Session”)

You can attend a Session in the comfort and convenience of your home, office, or workplace. If your employer has entered into an agreement with Cleo to enable your access to our Services, the number of Sessions which you may be able to use may be limited by such agreement. Please check with your employer for information related to such limitations.

Cleo does not provide medical care

IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SERVICES DO NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE BY US. CLEO IS NOT A LICENSED MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER, AND CLEO DOES NOT ACT IN A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY. THE CONTENT ON THE SITE IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. The Experts you engage via our Services are solely responsible for providing you with medical care – not Cleo. Cleo provides this Website that acts as a venue to connect you with Experts who may be available to provide you with non-emergency care.

Cleo does not control or interfere with any Expert’s or any other medical provider’s practice of medicine: each Expert is responsible for the decisions, advice, diagnoses, statements, or information he or she provides. You are solely responsible for your interactions with Experts and any other parties you interact with through the Services; provided, however, we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. You agree that Cleo is not responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions.

Cleo does not endorse or recommend any specific tests, providers, products, procedures, medications, devices, opinions, diagnoses, or other information that may be provided or mentioned by any Expert.

We encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider before using our Services or engaging any Expert. Our Services are not a substitute for a primary care physician, obstetrician, pediatrician, or any other medical service.

Cleo does not guarantee the suitability of Experts

While we endeavor to find you Experts who will be helpful to you, we make no guarantee, representation, or warranty with respect to

  • whether you will find any Expert’s services relevant, useful, correct, satisfactory or suitable to your needs.
  • the quality of the services provided by Experts.
  • whether any Expert is categorized correctly or is suitably matched to you.
  • verification of the skills, degrees, qualifications, licensure, certifications, credentials, competence, or background of any Expert.

You are solely responsible for independently verifying the experience and qualifications of any Expert that provides you with services. We strongly recommend that you conduct this verification prior to contacting any Expert via the Services.

What are the basics of using Cleo?

To use the Services, you first need to sign up with Cleo and create an account (“User Account”). At sign up you will be required to provide us with certain information (hereafter referred to as “Registration Information”), such as

  • your name,
  • address,
  • date of birth,
  • employer
  • the name of your primary care provider (if you have one), obstetrician, pediatrician
  • we may require a redemption code if your employer or other third-party has purchased or is subsidizing the Services for you.
  • in the future, we may also require insurance information.

The Registration Information is your property and we assert no ownership interest in such data. Upon successful completion of the sign-up process, we will provide you with a personal user account, accessible to you through a password of your choice.

At sign up, it is imperative that you provide accurate and truthful Registration Information about your identity and your health and physical condition. This information will allow us to match your needs with an appropriate Expert(s). By filling in the required Account information, you represent and warrant to Cleo that all the Registration Information is true, current, complete and correct. You also agree to promptly update such information to ensure that it remains true, current, complete, and correct.

Other information may be requested of you, or provided by you, based on your interactions with your Expert. This additional information is solely due to your interactions with the Expert and not required as a part of interacting with Cleo. Providing this information is entirely your decision and at your discretion as well as your responsibility if you choose to provide this additional information.

Cleo reserves the right to refuse or cancel your User Account or your use of the Services if Cleo determines that you have not provided true, current, complete, and accurate Registration Information.

User’s age

In order to use the Services, you must be 18 years of age or older and reside in a place where the Services are provided. If your place of residence restricts the use of the Services because of age, or restricts the ability to enter into contracts such as this one due to age, you must abide by such age limits and you must not use the Services. Cleo will not knowingly collect any data from anyone under the age of 18 regardless that some countries have a legal age of an adult that is less than 18 years of age.

By using the Services, you represent that you are of legal age to enter into a binding contract (or if not, you’ve received your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Services and gotten your parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf).

Use of another user’s account

By using the Services, you agree that you will not choose or use a user name that: (i) belongs to another person or is used with the intent of impersonating another person; or (ii) is subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization. You may never use another person’s User Account or log in details to access the Services. Usage of another person’s identity for the purposes of impersonating another person is a crime and will be reported to law enforcement. Additionally, usage of Cleo’s services while impersonating another person may also be viewed as insurance fraud.

You may only use the Services for your own internal, personal, non-commercial use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you must not use the Services. Cleo will not be responsible for your illegal use of the Services.

You agree that you will not share your username or password with anyone. You agree that you will choose a password that conforms to the concept of a complex password. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your username or password or any other breach of security relating to your User Account. Cleo will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision. You acknowledge and agree that you have read Cleo’s Privacy Policy and are aware of the risks of transmitting your personal information by unsecured means.

You should familiarize yourself with the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer in addition to these Terms.

In connection with your use of the Services, Cleo will obtain certain transaction details, which we will use solely in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Insurance

At present we do not process any insurance claims, nor will the Experts process claims on your behalf. Although the Services you receive may be covered by your insurance, it is your sole responsibility to contact your health plan, determine whether coverage applies and submit a claim.

You agree that Cleo is not responsible for, and does not control, those websites or any third-party products or services. Cleo does not endorse the content on any third-party websites and Cleo makes no representations regarding the content or accuracy of the content appearing on such third-party websites.

Will these Terms ever change?

This indemnification section shall survive your termination of use of the Services.

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) .

Governing Law and Choice of Forum. These Terms, as well as any and all claims arising from these Terms, will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America applicable to contracts made and performed entirely in California, without regard to any conflict or choice of law principles. Jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of these Terms, or in any way related to the Service, will lie exclusively in the federal or state court located in San Francisco County, California. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

DISPUTES

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award, on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must interpret these Terms as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: 548 Market St, PMB 46800, San Francisco, California 94104-5401. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS’ rules. Cleo will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed on location.

No class action and no trial by jury

We each 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 we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us and you with respect to the subject matter contained in these Terms and supersede all previous and contemporaneous agreements related to that subject matter. No amendments, modifications or waivers to these Terms shall be valid unless in writing and signed by all Parties. We may terminate or change the Services, or its/their availability to you, at any time. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms are not intended to benefit any third party, and do not create any third-party beneficiaries. Accordingly, these Terms may only be invoked or enforced by you or us. Any of these Terms that would reasonably be expected to be performed after your use of the Services has terminated or expired shall survive and be enforceable after such termination or expiration including, without limitation, provisions relating to ownership, indemnification, limitation of liability and governing law.
