2. Description of Services
ByAven operates a telehealth platform that connects users seeking menopause and midlife women's health support with licensed healthcare providers. Our Services include:
- Health assessment quizzes and intake forms
- Connection with licensed providers for evaluation
- Asynchronous messaging with providers
- Prescription fulfillment and shipping (when prescribed)

ByAven is a technology platform. We do not provide medical care directly. Medical care is provided by independent licensed healthcare providers who use our platform.

Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services through electronic communications technology. Our Services use asynchronous (store-and-forward) telehealth, where:
- You provide health information through our platform
- Licensed providers review your information
- Communications occur through secure messaging
- Real-time video or in-person visits are not part of standard service
Limitations of Telehealth
You acknowledge that telehealth has inherent limitations:
- Providers cannot perform physical examinations
- Some medical conditions cannot be properly evaluated remotely
- Technology failures may delay communications
- Not all medications can be prescribed via telehealth
- Providers may determine in-person care is necessary
Emergency Services
ByAven is NOT an emergency service. Do not use our platform for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room immediately.

- Update payment information through automatic card updates
- Send electronic receipts for all transactions
Failed Payments
If a payment fails, we may attempt to charge again or contact you for updated payment information. Continued failed payments may result in suspension of services.
Price Changes
We reserve the right to change our prices. Existing subscribers will receive at least 30 days advance notice of any price increase, with the option to cancel before the new price takes effect.
HSA/FSA
Our Services may be eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement. We provide itemized receipts upon request. Eligibility depends on your specific plan — verify with your administrator.
No Insurance Acceptance
ByAven is a cash-pay service. We do not bill insurance directly. You may submit receipts to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
8. Cancellation and Refunds
How to Cancel
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting customer support at billing@byaven.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain access through the last day you have paid for and will not be charged for any future billing periods.
“Cancel anytime” means: no contracts, no cancellation fees, and no future charges after you cancel. You will not receive a refund for the current billing period already charged.
Pause Subscription
You may pause your subscription instead of canceling. While paused, you will not be charged or receive shipments.
Refund Policy
Because our subscription grants immediate access to provider services and prescription processing, fees are generally non-refundable once a billing period begins:
- Subscription fees: Non-refundable for the current billing period. Cancelling stops all future charges.
- Medications: Cannot be returned or refunded once shipped, per pharmacy regulations
- Provider services: Non-refundable once provider review begins
- Technical errors: Refunds for billing errors processed within 30 days
- Service unavailable in your state: Full refund of the current period if ByAven cannot legally serve your state
Discretionary Refunds
We may offer refunds at our discretion for unusual circumstances. Contact billing@byaven.com to request a refund.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Binding Arbitration
If informal resolution fails, you and ByAven agree to resolve any dispute through binding arbitration rather than in court, except for:

- Small claims court matters under jurisdictional limits
Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Wyoming or by phone/video at your request.

- Violation of these Terms
- Fraudulent or illegal activity

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends immediately. Provisions that should survive termination (including disclaimers, liability limits, dispute resolution) will continue in effect.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and other referenced policies, constitute the entire agreement between you and ByAven.
Severability
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

Modifications
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting updated Terms on our website. Material changes will be communicated via email or notification. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
