Introduction
Welcome to the website of Therapy Homeroom, which is
owned and operated by Therapy Homeroom LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (referred to in these Terms of Service as “Therapy Homeroom”, “TH”,
“us”, “our”, or “we”). Therapy Homeroom is an online marketplace created for
mental health professionals to buy, exchange, and sell their resources and
tools for their practice.
Please take a moment to review these Terms of Service
(“Terms” or “ToS”) as they serve as a binding, enforceable agreement between us
and you, the User (a “User” includes both individuals that just browse and
visit the Sites and those who set-up a user and/or seller account). The Terms
provide information about your legal rights and obligations when visiting our
website, signing up for a user account, using and accessing the online
marketplace (“TH Marketplace”), and using any of the features on the website:
www.therapyhomeroom.com and related subpages or subdomains or affiliate
webpages (collectively, the “Sites”), mobile applications (“Apps”), and any
other services me might offer through the Sites and Apps (collectively,
referred to as our “Services”).
The TH Marketplace is an online marketplace for mental
health professionals to buy, sell, and exchange their content, resources, and
tools made for the purpose of running a mental health professional practice
with other mental health professionals (“Resources”). By using the TH
Marketplace you will be buying, selling, and exchanging Resources by uploading
and downloading files through a variety of methods, such as delivery of files,
streaming video, and whatever methods or features that we provide to you at the
time of your use of the Services. We may modify, including adding or
discontinuing support, for these methods or features at any time.
TH is merely a marketplace, or intermediary, that
facilitates transactions between customers and vendors. As a result, TH has no control over the
quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the Content listed, the
truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of vendors to sell Content or
the ability of customers to pay for Resource. TH does not pre-screen users, the
Content, or the content or information provided by users. TH cannot ensure that
a customer or vendor will actually complete a transaction. TH does not transfer legal ownership of
Content from the vendor to the customer.
TH cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and/or nationality of a
user.
By using our Services and uploading, selling, and
exchanging your Resources, we do not take any ownership, except a limited
license granted by you to display and market on our TH Marketplace, your
Resources. Therefore, under these Terms and related policies we expect that you
own or are authorized to upload, sell, or exchange your Resources.
By using our Services, you, the User, acknowledge and

govern your use, behavior, and interaction with our Sites and Apps, including,

responsibility to keep confidential. The access and use of your Membership
account, whether it is you or someone else is your responsibility. If you

or liability that arises from any negligent act or omission on your part that
contributes to the unauthorized access to your Membership account, such as
giving your password to an unauthorized third party.
Fees. As of the Effective Date, there are no fees to
sign up for a User membership account. There are fees associated with different
membership tiers for vendor membership accounts. For vendors, we provide our
Sites and Services by taking a percentage of the sales you make via the Therapy
Homeroom Marketplace (as defined in Section 6 below). We may at a point in the
future charge a membership fee to access and use the Sites and Services for
users. If you have already set-up a Membership account at such time we

close your TH Membership account at any time, without notice to us. You can
terminate or close your Membership account from the features and functions in
the user interface or by contacting us for assistance (See Section 10 below).
Applicable fees may apply.
Effect of Account Termination. After your account is
terminated or closed, you’ll no longer have access to any of your Membership
account information, past purchases, uploaded Resources, and many of the
features of our Services that require such a User account. If you close your
Membership account of your own accord, you can reopen your account by logging
in again, and providing the relevant information to reopen it. However, we
cannot guarantee that products and resources you purchased will be available to
you upon reopening. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have saved
your purchases to your own device. If you’d like for Therapy Homeroom to close
your Membership account so that it cannot be reopened upon login, then please
contact us. Certain communications and content that you’ve posted on the Sites
will not be completely removed if your Membership account is terminated and may
still remain after termination. You may be able to remove or edit some of your
communications and content at your discretion before you close your account.
Privacy. For privacy issues related to the personal
information you submit for your Membership account, and how we treat personal
information for your use and access to our Sites and Services, please review
our Privacy Policy.
Sold Resources. If you have sold any of your Resources
via the Therapy Homeroom Marketplace and have terminated your Membership
account you shall no longer be searchable on the TH Marketplace and your
Resource will not be available to other users, however your already purchased
Resources shall remain accessible to those users that paid for them.
Discontinue Services. We may change, suspend, or
discontinue offering our Services at any time. Any suspension or
discontinuation in our Services may mean that your Membership account,
including any Resources or other materials you may have purchased from our
Services, and any Resources or Communications (collectively “Content “) you may
have uploaded to our Services, may not be available to you or to other users.
We are not liable to you for any impact a change, suspension, or
discontinuation of our Services may have including the loss of access to any
Resources that you’ve purchased or loss of income from your temporary or
permanent inability to sell Resources through our Services.
Community Interaction and Policies
Our Policies and Guidelines. By using our Services and
interacting with the Sites, as a visitor, signing up for a Membership account,
and being a User, or in any other manner, you agree to follow these Terms,
which includes abiding by our policies and guidelines, including, but not
limited to the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use and IP Policy, and relevant
guidelines.
Interaction. You may have the ability to communicate,
interact, or otherwise connect with other visitors, members, or Users of the
Website and through our Service. You are solely responsible for taking
precautions when sharing any information about yourself with another person via
our Website and Service, and you release TH from any and all liability that may
arise out of your interactions with another person via our Website and
Services. You are also responsible for your behavior and interactions with others
via our Website and Services. We would want to promote a professional and safe
environment for those mental health professionals or those becoming mental
health professionals via our Website and Services. Therefore, we have
established acceptable use policies and guidelines to help you and others use
our Website and Services in a professional and safe manner. By violating the
Acceptable Use and IP Policy we reserve the right to pursue any and all actions
against you, including terminating these Terms and your account or taking legal
action, including any equitable remedies. Please review the Acceptable Use and
IP Policy.
To increase collaboration, we do allow vendors to
upload their social and business links to their Shop. However, using
descriptions, external links, or other advertising of other sites to make
purchases that bypass Therapy Homeroom’s marketplace is strictly prohibited.
Such an example may include, but is not limited to, using your shop’s chat
messaging features or shop bio to encourage users to buy a resource or service
from a third-party link is prohibited under the Terms of Service. Your account
will be removed for violation of the Terms without required notice.
Monitoring. TH has the right, but not the obligation,
to monitor any activity and Content associated with our Services. We may
investigate any complaints or reported violations of our policies and take any
action that we deem appropriate. Such action may include, but is not limited
to, issuing warnings, suspension, or termination of your Membership account,
denying access, and/or removal of any Content on the site, including Resources
and their related information.
TH is not a licensed medical care provider or
therapist. TH does not verify any health
claims made by vendors, or any third parties with regard to any of the Content
sold on the Site. TH cannot and does not
verify any vendor’s licensure, registration numbers, certifications, education,
experience, or any other qualifications.
It is the user’s responsibility to communicate with the vendor and
determine the vendor’s qualifications to the customer’s satisfaction. Not all
Content sold on this Site is suitable for everyone, every age, or every
situation or set of circumstances. TH is
not responsible for any health problems, injuries, allergies, reactions,
negative results, misinformation, damages, liabilities, harm, or otherwise that
may result from the purchase of Content on the Site or reliance on any Content
available on the Site. Customer represents that customer has selected the
Content, using customer’s own knowledge and judgment. If you purchase Content
through the Site you agree that you do so at your own risk.
Licensing.
General. In general, the users that provide Resources
for use in the TH Marketplace shall own and maintain their intellectual
property rights in said resources that they provide. When you purchase a
Resource from another user you are purchasing a license to use the Resource in
accordance with these Terms, our applicable policies, and the law. Therefore,
when you upload or share your Resources you are representing and warranting you
are the legal owner or authorized to do so, and when you download or use another
user’s Resources you agree to be bound to the terms and conditions of the
license. Please review the Acceptable Use and IP Policy.
Licenses. By purchasing another User’s Resources you
are granted a license by them to use their Resources, which this license is
limited by these Terms and by any terms and conditions that the uploading and
selling User has placed on their Content. These licenses are non-transferable
and may not be assigned to a third-party. The purpose and intent for the
purchase of another User’s Resources by you is for individual and personal use
with your practice of mental health services and that you do not commercialize
or resell the Resources you purchase from another User to third parties. An
uploading and selling User grants a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide, limited license to use their
Content as Resources for the purchasing party for the purposes outlined by
these Terms and the incorporated policies and guidelines.
Limitation on Access to Resources. TH does not
guarantee continuous access to any Resource through our Services. For example,
if at any time, TH stops hosting a Resource for any reason or you or TH
terminates, suspends, downgrades, or otherwise limits your Account or access to
TH’s Services, your ability to access the Resource through our Services may be
terminated. It is your sole responsibility to maintain and store a copy of
downloadable Resources on your device to ensure future access. We are not liable
to you should you lose access to any Resource your purchased and then such
Resource no longer becomes available in the future and you failed to maintain a
copy of the downloadable Resource. For any Resource that is not downloadable to
you, for example a streaming video, your license and access to such Resource
shall expire at the close of your account or cease upon TH’s discontinuation of
hosting said Resource.
Distribution. In accordance with the Licensing Policy,
the Customer is permitted to utilize the Resource solely for personal,
educational, and instructional purposes ("Personal Use"). The
Resource can be employed for the individual's personal reference, academic
purposes, or for educational purposes. The Customer may make copies and print
the Resource only for Personal Use, not for resale or distribution to third
parties. However, the Customer must ensure not to remove any copyright notices,
branding, or authorship information associated with the Resource.
On the other hand, the Licensing Policy strictly
prohibits the Customer from utilizing the Resource for commercial purposes in
any way, shape, or form. In other words, the Resource may not be sold, included
in published works, utilized for marketing or advertising purposes, or generate
revenue directly or indirectly. Additionally, the Customer cannot post the
Resource on any website and is prohibited from distributing or providing the
content to friends, family, colleagues, posting online, or making it available
to any third parties. Finally, the Resource cannot be transferred, gifted, or
assigned to any third party under any circumstances.
Intellectual Property.
Our Content and Services. Except for Content uploaded
or posted by other users, all other aspects of the Sites and the Apps you find
on our Services are owned or controlled by us. This includes, but is not
limited to, all text, graphics, photographs, logos, and other imagery, videos,
user interfaces, trademarks, computer code, and other content of our Sites or
Apps (collectively, “Sites Assets”). This also includes the design, structure,
coordination, arrangement, expression, and the “look and feel” of Site Assets.
Site Assets are protected by copyright, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets,
and other intellectual property rights. You may not use, reproduce, copy,
modify, republish, perform, display, disassemble, reverse engineer, translate,
or distribute Sites Assets in any way to any person, computer, server, website,
or other entity for any commercial purpose without our explicit permission. By
commercial purpose we mean that you cannot sell, license, rent, use in your own
business or website, incorporate into marketing materials or presentations, or
make other commercial use of our Sites Assets. You may not remove any copyright
information from resources, tools, media, or other materials without our prior
written permission.
Your Content. In order to use some of our Services,
specifically the Marketplace and for you to upload or post your Content, and
then sell your Content as Resources for others to use. We require you to grant
us a license to your Content. You are
granting us a licensing right, but shall retain intellectual property rights
that you hold in that Content. TH does not take or claim any ownership rights
for the copyright, trademark, or otherwise over your Content. When you post or
upload your Content to our Services, you grant us the right to store, use,
display, and provide access to the Content you post as a necessary step for us
to provide our Services; in order to sell your Content as the Resources found
on the Marketplace and make it available to others via the Marketplace and its
functions, we have to be able to store, use, display, and provide access to
others to your Content, which upload onto our platform, which consists of the
Website, servers, and other related aspects to our operations. You also understand
the purpose of our Website, its Services, and the function of the Marketplace
that you are granting others license to your Content by the act of uploading
and selling to them as Resources for use with their practice of mental health
services. For these purposes, you grant to us a nonexclusive, irrevocable,
perpetual (except as otherwise provided herein), worldwide, sublicensable
license to exercise any copyright, trademark rights, or other rights in and to
your Content necessary to provide our Services to you and our other Users. We
reserve the right to refuse storing, using, displaying, or providing access to
any material, data, information, or Content that you upload if it violates our
Terms, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use and IP Policy, Marketplace Guidelines, or
the rights of the proper intellectual property owner or holder. Your uploading
and sale of intellectual property that you have no rights in or are
unauthorized to do so is a material breach of these Terms.
Reporting Intellectual Property Violations. In
general, we respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of others and expect
the same from all of our users. No user may post any material, information,
communication, data, or anything else that infringes on the copyrights,
trademarks, or patent rights of someone else. Users that violate the IP rights
of another shall be terminated. For Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
compliance and the acceptable use and respect of IP rights please review our Acceptable
Use and IP Policy. If you see an infringement of your intellectual property
rights you can contact us, See Section 12 below. Please provide the location on
the Sites or Apps, a description of the infringing item, and proof or
information of your intellectual property rights over the infringing item so
that we may investigate according to our Acceptable Use and IP Policy.
Marketplace and Payment.
Payment in General. Payouts will occur monthly using
the account they have provided TH upon registration.
TH provides free and paid membership subscription
services (the “Membership(s)”) to you subject to the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. If you elect to access any
paid component of the Site, such as becoming a subscriber of a paid Membership,
you agree to pay all fees and charges associated with that paid component on a
timely basis. You may purchase subscription access to a Membership (a
“Subscription”) for a fee (the “Fee(s)”) for the period of time (the “Access
Period”) you have elected from the available options (e.g., monthly or
annually). Unless otherwise stated, all Fees are due and payable in advance,
are non-refundable, and are exclusive of any applicable federal, state,
telecommunications, excise, municipal taxes or duties, including VAT and GST,
or other local taxes (“Applicable Taxes”). All such Fees will be charged to the
payment method you provided when you elected to access that paid component of
the Site. You agree to maintain a valid, accurate, and up to date payment
method during the term of your use of such services.
(b) Your ability to access and use your chosen
Membership commences on the date TH makes the Membership available to you
following your registration for such Membership and remittance of the Fee and
Applicable Taxes, if any, and continues until the end of the applicable Access
Period. TH will automatically renew or commence your Subscription for a new
Access Period by charging the associated Fee plus any Applicable Taxes to the
payment method you provided unless you cancel your Subscription as provided below.
(c) Unless you affirmatively opt-out of automatic
renewal before the end of the then-current Access Period (as applicable), you
hereby authorize TH to renew or commence your Subscription automatically at the
end of each Access Period for a new Access Period. If you opt-out of automatic
renewal, your Subscription will expire and your access to your Membership will
cease at the end of its specified Access Period. In order to continue to access
your Membership after your Access Period has expired, you will need to purchase
a new Subscription. TH assumes no responsibility or liability if your
Subscription fails to renew or otherwise expires because of outdated or
incorrect payment information.
(d) You may upgrade your Membership level at any time
an upgrade is available.
(e) You may cancel your Membership Subscription at any
time through your customer account. If you cancel your Subscription during your
current Access Period, your access to the Subscription will continue until the
end of your then-current Access Period, at which point it will expire. Purchase
and/or redemption of your Subscription is final and non-refundable; TH will not
issue you any refund, including partial, prorated, or otherwise unless required
to do so by law.
(f) TH reserves the right to modify, offer additional,
or cease offering its Membership(s) at any time in its sole discretion,
including but not limited to changes in Fees, or modifying the features and
functionality of the Site and any Membership Subscription. If we cease offering
your current Membership, your access to your Membership will continue until the
end of your then-current Access Period. We will provide you with thirty (30)
days prior notice via email before changes in Subscriptions or Fees take
effect. Any changes to the Subscription or Fees will be effective upon your
next billing cycle, and will not apply retroactively or to the remainder of
your current Access Period.
TH charges a percentage of the sale price when the
Resource sells as described in this Section (“Transaction Fees”). Therapy
Homeroom uses Payment Processor companies to handle payments. Therapy Homeroom
does not set the transaction fees rates, the Payment Processor companies do and
are subject to change without notice.
TH charges a percentage of commission associated with
the account you sign up for. As a vendor, when you make a sale through the
Site, if you currently hold a Free/Basic Vendor Membership Subscription, you
will receive 55% of your sale and TH will receive 45% of the commission in
accordance with any % of the price you display for each individual Content
product sold. When you make a sale through the Site, if you currently hold a
Middle Tier Vendor Membership Subscription, you will receive 75% of your sale and
TH will receive 25% of the commission in accordance with any % of the price you
display for each individual Content product sold. When you make a sale through
the site, if you hold a Premium Membership Subscription, you will receive 80%
of your sale and TH will receive 20% of the commission in accordance with any %
of the price you display for each individual Content product sold.
TH may choose to provide discount codes and/or
temporarily change the Membership Subscription commission payout fees for
promotional events; such changes are effective when TH posts the temporary
promotional event on the Site, which result in a lower sales price and
therefore may reduce amounts paid to Vendors. All Transaction Fees are in US
Dollars. If you list Content in a currency other than US Dollars, your item
price will be converted to US Dollars solely for purposes of calculating the
transaction fee.
For each sale of Content on the Site, TH will
automatically deduct the Transaction Fee from the sale price collected from the
customer, and will distribute the remaining purchase price to the vendor on a
monthly basis as follows: (a) TH will collect payment from the customer at the
time Content is purchased through the Site, (b) TH will notify vendor by email
of the sale once payment has been verified and collected from the customer, and
(c) on a monthly basis TH will distribute to the vendor the total revenue
generated by vendor through the Site, minus the Transaction Fees and Commission
during each calendar month within thirty (30) days of the last day of each
calendar month, provided vendor is in compliance with this Agreement.
In the event that you breach this Agreement, TH
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withhold any payments that would
otherwise be due to you under this Agreement.
Vendor is responsible for paying all fees and
applicable taxes associated with using TH. TH uses Paypal and Stripe for its
Merchant Services processing for vendors.
Vendor must set up an account with Paypal in order to receive payment
from TH. TH makes no representations or warranties regarding Paypal’s services
and TH is not liable for any delay, error, fault, or action of Paypal. Paypal
may charge additional transaction or service fees to the vendor.
If TH terminates a listing or your account, if you
close your account, or if the payment of your TH fees cannot be completed for
any reason, you remain obligated to pay TH for all unpaid fees plus any
penalties, if applicable. If the vendor’s account is not paid in full within
ten (10) days of the removal of a listing or termination of the account for any
reason, the vendor risks penalties such as the suspension of privileges and/or
termination of the account and other collection mechanisms (including retaining
collection agencies and legal counsel). If you have a question or wish to
dispute a charge, contact TH at help@therapyhomeroom.com.
Compliance and Taxes. You shall comply with all
applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and
regulations regarding your use of Sites and Services, and if applicable, your
listing, purchase, solicitation of offers to purchase, and sale of Resources.
In addition, you are responsible for paying any and all taxes applicable to any
purchases or sales you make on the Sites via the TH Marketplace less TH’s
service charges and fees. TH shall not make any taxes for your sale of your
Resources and you shall bear all costs, expenses, liabilities, damages, and
penalties arising from any action or omission on your part not to remit payment
of applicable taxes for the sales you make via our Sites and Services.
Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless TH, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and affiliates
from and against all costs, expenses, damages, judgments, and liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from allegations, threats,
claims, suits, or other proceedings brought by third parties related to your
use or misuse of our Services, including but not limited to any breach of these
Terms, violation of any federal, state, or local law, and infringement of someone
else’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
No Guarantees. Our Sites, Apps, and Services are
provided to you “as-is” and “as available” without any guarantee. Our Services
are digital and technical in nature and subject to all the reasonable issues
and problems of maintaining a website with a variety of features and functions
such as those found on our Sites and Apps. Additionally, we implement changes

guarantee that any specific website or part of the Sites or Apps, features or

sales of your Resources.

Intellectual Property Policy
Resource Licensing
Therapy Homeroom sellers own their Resources and give
you certain rights to use them for limited purposes. This section describes the
agreement between you and the sellers you purchase from and lets you know
what’s acceptable to do with the Resource licenses you buy on Therapy Homeroom.
In General
License. Therapy Homeroom sellers own and maintain the
intellectual property rights in the content and resources they upload to our
Site. When a seller sells their content and resources via the Marketplace they
are granting others license to use such Resources for limited purposes and
uses. When you are a buyer of a Resource, you are purchasing a license to use
that Resource and not obtaining intellectual property rights other than license
granted under our Terms and related policies. Any and all downloadable and
digital Resources can only be used in accordance within the limitations of the
license.
You agree to respect the seller’s intellectual
property rights and use the license in accordance with our Terms, applicable
policies, and any further terms and conditions a seller places on the Resources
they are selling. In the event any conflict exists between our Terms,
applicable policies, and a seller’s terms, our Site’s Terms and applicable
policies shall govern, except where a seller has granted a purchaser certain
additional rights to their Resources in writing to the purchaser.
Purpose of the License
A license may only be assigned to a single specific
individual user (“Assignee”) (e.g. one mental health professional or that
mental health professional’s lawfully incorporated or organized business
entity) for that Assignee’s lifetime or the duration of that individual’s
lawfully incorporated or organized business entity. The licenses are
non-transferable and may not be resold by a buyer. Further, the license may not
be used by or reallocated to a different Assignee (for example, a mental health
professional who purchases an Individual License can use such Resource, in
accordance with this section, for her or his lifetime but cannot transfer use
of such Resource to another mental health professional after her or his
retirement).
Except as otherwise stated in these Terms (such as in
the “Limitations on Access” section set forth below), with a license, a seller
grants to a purchasing Member, for use by one Assignee, a non-exclusive,
perpetual, irrevocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide, limited
license to use the Resource for the purposes and under the conditions described
below. The seller may grant additional rights at their discretion and shall do
so in writing.
If you purchase a license, then the seller permits you
to:
Assign use of the Resource to one Assignee. Once an
Assignee has been designated, the license cannot be used by any other
individual or entity, but you can purchase additional licenses as needed. For
clarity, you can purchase a license for yourself, as a gift for another person
or entity. In such cases, a single “transfer” of the Resource to the intended
recipient Assignee is permitted, but you may not reallocate the license again,
that is from one Assignee to another or share the Resource with additional users
unless you purchase additional licenses for each additional Assignee.
As an Assignee of such a license, the seller is
permitting you to:
Use the Resource for personal, educational and
instructional use only, or for your use in the operations or processes of
individualized practice of licensed mental health services by you (“Personal
Use”). This means you can use Resources for your own personal purposes, for
your individual study, and for use with your clients for your practice.
Print and make copies of downloadable Resources as
necessary for Personal Use. Copies may be made and provided to your clients as
necessary. Hard goods and video resources may not be copied, shared, or
otherwise reproduced.
Deliver Resources electronically as needed by using
features available through the Services or by other secure means that enable
access to Resources by only your clients (and as needed, their family members)
(“Permitted Recipients”). You may not upload Resources to any other websites,
applications, shared drives or other sites or use services or devices in a way
that enables access by anyone other than Permitted Recipients.
Unless otherwise expressly permitted by the Vendor:
You may not use the Resource, in part or in whole, for
commercial purposes. This means you cannot once purchase turnaround and then
resell it, use it for advertising or marketing purposes, or use it in any other
way in connection with a business or profit-making activity to commercialize or
exploit the Resources as if you were the owner or holder of the intellectual
property rights of the Resources.
You may not present information or hold out yourself
(or your business entity) to any third party that you have superior rights or
ownership of the Resources that your purchased to the detriment of the
legitimate owner or holder of the intellectual property rights over the
Resources.
Except as permitted above to deliver Resources
electronically to Permitted Recipients, you may not post or otherwise make the
Resource available on any website, application, shared drive or other sites or
services.
You may not share, send, sell, sublicense, or transfer
the Resource to someone else for their own Personal Use unless you purchase an
additional license for each additional mental health professional you will
share it with. Each individual license is for use by one (1) individual mental
health professional (or their business entity) who legitimately purchased the
license.
Limitation on Access
Downloadable Resources. Therapy Homeroom cannot
guarantee continuous access to any Resource through our Service. For example,
if at any time, Therapy Homeroom stops hosting a Resource for any reason or you
or Therapy Homeroom terminates, suspends, downgrades, or otherwise limits your
Account or access to Therapy Homeroom Services, your ability to access the
Resource through our Services may be terminated. It’s your responsibility to
maintain and store a copy of downloadable Resources on your device to ensure
future access.
Digital and Video Resources. If you purchase access to
a Resource in the format of streaming video or other non-downloadable formats,
your license will expire if you or Therapy Homeroom closes your Account, or if
Therapy Homeroom stops hosting the Resource for any reason.
2.2. The Services and the Site Content
This section describes what content on the site
belongs to us and is protected as our intellectual property, what belongs to
you, and the rights you grant us to use your intellectual property.
Except for Content uploaded or posted by Members, all
other aspects of the Site you find on our Services is owned or controlled by
us. This includes, but is not limited to, all text, graphics, photographs,
logos, and other imagery, videos, user interfaces, trademarks, computer code,

the design, structure, coordination, arrangement, expression, and the “look and
feel” of Site Assets. Site Assets are protected by copyright, trademarks, trade
dress, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights.
You may not use, reproduce, copy, modify, republish,
perform, display, disassemble, reverse engineer, translate, or distribute Site
Assets in any way to any person, computer, server, website, or other entity for
any commercial purpose without our explicit permission by Therapy Homeroom. By
commercial purpose, we mean that you can’t sell, license, rent, use in your own
business or website, incorporate into marketing materials or presentations, or
make other commercial use of our Site Assets. You may not remove any copyright
information from resources, tools, media, or other materials without our prior
written permission.
2.3 Reporting Intellectual Property Violations
We respect the intellectual property rights of others
and expect the same from all of our Members. No Member may post any material,
information, communication, data, or anything else that infringes on the
copyrights, trademarks, or patent rights of someone else.
Please follow our Notice and Takedown Process outlined
below.
NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN PROCESS
We work diligently to remove copyright or trademark
infringements. You can find our contact information down below on how to report
and contact us of copyright or trademark infringements.
If you believe that your intellectual property rights
in material found on our Sites have been violated or infringed upon, then
please submit a notice to our Designated Agent. Your notice needs to include
all of the following information:
Identification of your intellectual property that you
claim has been infringed upon on our website (if your notice pertains to the
use of your trademark, please include your federal trademark registration
number);
Identification of the material that you claim has
infringed on your intellectual property, including:
an explanation of how the material identified is using
your intellectual property in a way that constitutes infringement, AND
a description of where the material you’ve identified
is located on our Sites, with sufficient detail to allow us to find the
material (A URL of the resource page is best);
Your contact information, including your full name,
mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
Statement by you, stating that you have a good faith
belief that the disputed use of the work is not authorized by the intellectual
property owner, its agents, or the law;
Statement by you stating that, under penalty of
perjury, the information provided in your notice is accurate and that you are
the intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the
owner;
Electronic or physical signature of the person
authorized to act on behalf of the copyright and/or trademark holder.
Keep in mind — under Section 512(f) of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act, any person who knowingly misrepresents that content
or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including
attorney's fees.
Make sure you include all of the required pieces of
information. This will help us more quickly address your request. It also may
be helpful to include additional information to allow us to verify the status
of the work you claim has been infringed.
Examples are the registration number or paperwork for the trademark or
copyright for us to review and reach a determination sooner.
What happens after you submit your Notice?
Copyright Notices — We’ll review your Notice of
Copyright Infringement to make sure it contains all of the required
information. The more specific your explanation is about which parts of a
resource you believe are infringing, the easier it will be for us to process
your request and ensure that the infringing content is removed. When we do take
action on a notice, we reach out to the member who posted the content, forward
them your notice, and remove the material from our Site. The user who posted
the content has a legal right to submit a Counter-Notice if they believe that
the content was misidentified as infringing or was removed by mistake. If we
receive a complete Counter-Notice, we’ll forward it to you. Then, you are
responsible for any further legal action to protect the work. The law gives you
ten (10) days to let us know you’ve done so. Otherwise, we have to allow the
individual to repost the content.
Trademark Notice — If your Notice of Trademark
Infringement contains all of the required information, we’ll consider your
request and take what action we believe in good faith to be appropriate. To
make it easier for us to process your request and ensure that all of the
infringing content is removed please provide us with clear and specific
information. Ensure that you notice is as specific as possible about where your
mark appears on the Site.
Copyright Counter-Notice Process
If you’ve received a Notice of Copyright Infringement
from us about one or more of your resources and you wish to dispute the claim
that your work is violating the copyright of the notifier, you can submit a
Counter-Notice to our Designated Agent. A reply to the email we sent you works
just fine. Your Counter-Notice needs to contain all of the following
information:
Identification of your material that has been removed,
including a description of where the material appeared on our Sites before it
was removed or disabled (a URL is best);
Statement by you stating that, under penalty of
perjury, you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result
of a mistake or misidentification of the material in question;
Your contact information, including full name, mailing
address, telephone number, and email address;
Statement by you stating that: you consent to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which your
address is located or, if your address is outside of the USA, for the judicial
district in which our company is located, and
that you will accept service of process from the person who provided
notification of the alleged infringement;
Your electronic or physical signature.
After You Submit Your Counter-Notice
If your notice includes all of the above information,
we’ll forward it to the folks who sent the original notice. Then they’ll have
ten (10) days to let us know if they’ve initiated further action to legally
protect their work. If so, we have to respect that and your material will
remain blocked from the site. If we don’t receive anything from them, then we
shall put your material or resource back up after the 10-day period.
If you've received a trademark-only takedown notice
(i.e. there is no claim of copyright infringement), that you believe to be in
error or believe and that you are authorized or have rights in the trademark in
question, then you can reach out to the party that submitted the trademark-only
notice to request a retraction of their takedown notice.
Right of Publicity and Personal Likeness Infringements
If you believe that any Resources, materials, or
content hosted by, posted on, or accessible through our Site or Services uses
your name, voice, signature, image or likeness, or that of your minor child,
without your permission and in violation of a legally recognized right of
publicity, we encourage you first to contact the user directly about your
concerns. If that does not resolve your concerns, you may file a notice with us
using the Notice and Takedown process outlined here.
Repeat Infringers
We reserve the right to immediately suspend or
terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. The manner in which we apply that
policy may depend on relevant aggravating or mitigating circumstances, if any,
but generally, we will terminate an account if it is subject to any valid
infringement notices. Therefore, we ask you to respect the rights of others.

Our therapist and mental health peer-to-peer sharing

members can freely share their experiences and insights. We do not tolerate
discrimination or hate speech in any form and have implemented the following
policy to ensure a respectful and supportive environment for all users.
Discrimination: Discrimination based on race, color,
ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation,
age, disability, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law is
strictly prohibited on our platform. Users are expected to treat all
individuals with dignity and respect, regardless of their background or
identity.
Hate Speech: Hate speech, which includes any speech or
behavior that promotes violence, hostility, or discrimination against
individuals or groups based on their race, color, ethnicity, nationality,
religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected
characteristic, is not tolerated on our platform. This includes but is not
limited to derogatory slurs, offensive language, threats, or harassment.
Inclusive Language: Users are expected to use
inclusive language that promotes respect and inclusivity. This includes using
gender-neutral language, avoiding derogatory terms, and refraining from making
assumptions or generalizations about individuals or groups based on their
characteristics or identities.
User Responsibility: Users are responsible for their
own actions and speech on our platform. They are expected to be mindful of the
impact of their words and behaviors on others and to refrain from engaging in
any discriminatory or hate speech acts. Users are also encouraged to report any
discriminatory or hate speech behavior they observe, even if they are not the
target of such behavior.
Whether you are engaging in any public elements of the
site (i.e. listing resources,
writing reviews, shop announcements, vendor policies,
or other forms of direct or indirect communication), discrimination and hate
speech are prohibited. This further includes refusal of service or support
based on membership in one or more protected groups.

encouraged to report it immediately using the designated reporting feature

education and understanding as a means to combat discrimination and hate
speech. We may provide resources, guidelines, and educational materials to help
users better understand the importance of inclusivity and respect in their
interactions on our platform.
Consequences of Violation: Violation of this
Anti-Discrimination and Hate Speech Policy may result in consequences,
including but not limited to warnings, suspensions, or termination of user
accounts, and removal of resources, depending on the severity and frequency of
