Terms & Conditions

Version 2020.12.1 · Updated December 01, 2020

Welcome to Carrot, offered by Carrot Fertility, Inc. (“Carrot”, “we”, or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, including the Carrot platform (the “Platform”), debit-like card (“Carrot Card®”), website, and software provided on or in connection with the service (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service, and if you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement or our Privacy Policy, you may not use the Service. 

We reserve the right to modify these terms and will provide notice of these changes as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service (“Users”).

‍

1. Our Service

Your (or your significant other’s) employer (the “Employer”) has partnered with us to make fertility care more accessible and affordable for you. Depending on your Employer’s agreement with us and your geographical location, through our Service you may be able to, among other things, use your benefit toward fertility, adoption, and gestational carrier (surrogacy) expenses from third-party care providers, schedule a chat with an expert health or wellness professional, or browse a wealth of articles and videos.

‍

1.1 Eligibility

This Agreement is a contract between you and us. You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with us, and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations, and, where applicable, religious decrees. Any use or access to the Service by anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by us.

The Employer is not a party to this Agreement. For you to create an account on the Service (each a “User Account”), your Employer must have entered into a binding, valid, and enforceable written agreement with us (an “Employer Agreement”). You understand that your ability to use the Service is contingent on the Employer Agreement remaining effective and that, if at any time the Employer Agreement becomes ineffective (e.g., it expires or is terminated), you may no longer use the Service. To the extent the Employer Agreement contains terms that expressly supersede specific, identified terms of this Agreement to your benefit, such terms will apply to you and your use of the Service.

‍

1.2 Limited License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Service for your personal, noncommercial use only and as permitted by the features of the Service. We reserve all rights not expressly granted herein in the Service and the Carrot Content (as defined below). We may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.

‍

1.3 User Account

You may never use another User’s User Account without permission. When creating your User Account, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your User Account, and you must keep your User Account password secure. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your User Account. We will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your User Account.

You may control your User profile and how you interact with the Service by changing your settings on the Service. By providing us your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service, Carrot Content you may be interested in, and special offers.

‍

1.4 Reimbursements

If you use the Service to be reimbursed for any expenses, you agree that: (i) you or your partner will not use the Service to be reimbursed for any expense that has already been reimbursed under any other payment plan or source, (ii) you or your partner will not seek reimbursement under any other payment plan or source for any expense that has already been reimbursed through the Service, (iii) if you reside in the United States, you or your partner will not use the Service to be reimbursed for any “medical expenses” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 213(d)) if you are not also enrolled in an employer-sponsored medical plan, (iv) if you reside in the United States, you or your partner will not use the Service to be reimbursed for any medical expense for which you received a tax-free distribution from a Health Savings Account (“HSA”), and (v) you or your partner will acquire and retain sufficient documentation (including invoices and receipts) for any expense reimbursed using the Service.

‍

1.5 Carrot Card Usage and Health Savings Account Distributions

In connection with the Service, you may be issued a Carrot Card. Any Carrot Card issued to you is the property of the card issuer (the “Issuer”, currently, Regions Bank) and is subject to cancellation by your Employer, the Issuer, the third-party service provider of Carrot Card account services (the "Third-Party Servicer", currently, Stripe, Inc.), or us, without notice and liability for any lawful reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason if lawfully permitted. Upon any such cancellation, you continue to be bound by this Agreement. 

The Carrot Card may be used to pay for certain services available to you through the Service. By using the Carrot Card, you enter into, and agree to, additional terms and conditions of the Third-Party Servicer that govern use of the Carrot Card ("Commercial Card Program Agreement") found at https://stripe.com/card-program/legal.

If reside in the United States and you use the Carrot Card to pay for “medical expenses” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 213(d)), you agree that: (i) you or your partner will not use the Carrot Card for any medical expense that has already been reimbursed, (ii) you or your partner will not seek reimbursement under any other health plan for any medical expense paid for with the Carrot Card, (iii) you or your partner will not use the Carrot Card for a medical expense if you are not also enrolled in an employer-sponsored medical plan, and (iv) you or your partner will acquire and retain sufficient documentation (including invoices and receipts) for any medical expense paid for with the Carrot Card. Each time you use the Carrot Card to pay for a medical expense as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 213(d), this Agreement is reaffirmed.

If you reside in the United States, you agree that you will not use the Carrot Card for any medical expense for which you receive a tax-free distribution from an HSA. You understand and acknowledge that any distribution from an HSA made for an expense that was paid for with the Carrot Card or otherwise reimbursed through Carrot is not excludable from gross income.

Your eligibility to use the Carrot Card will terminate upon your loss of eligibility for the Service.

If you use the Carrot Card as a resident of any country, you agree that the correction procedures below, as required by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in the United States, will apply to any improper use of the Carrot Card, including any violation of this Agreement:

  • Until the amount of any improper payment is recovered, we will de-activate the Carrot Card and you must request payments or reimbursements of eligible expenses through other methods (for example, by submitting receipts or invoices from a merchant or service provider of the expense to us);
  • You must repay to us an amount equal to the improper payment;
  • If you fail to repay the amount of the improper payment, you agree that your employer may be entitled to withhold the amount of the improper payment from your pay or other compensation, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law;
  • If any portion of the improper payment remains outstanding after attempts to recover that amount, we will apply a claims substitution or offset to resolve improper payments, such as a reimbursement for a later substantiated expense claim is reduced by the amount of the improper payment. For example, if you have received an improper payment of $200 and subsequently submit a substantiated claim for $250 incurred during the same coverage period, a reimbursement for only $50 is made; and
  • If, after applying the procedures described above, we have not recouped the improper payments on behalf of your employer, you accept that your employer may, consistent with its business practice, treat the improper payment as it would any other business indebtedness.

‍

1.6 Changes to the Service

We work constantly to improve our Service and develop new features to make our Service better for you. As a result, we may, without prior notice, need to change the Service; stop providing the Service or features of the Service, to you or to Users generally; or create usage limits for the Service. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason.

‍

1.7 Service Location

You acknowledge that you provide your PII at your own risk.

6. Third-Party Materials and Interactions with Health or Wellness Professionals and Care Providers

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, information, materials, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by us.

If you access a third-party website, product, or service, or any related materials or information, through the Service, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that this Agreement and our Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such websites, information, materials, products, or services. You expressly relieve us from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party websites, information, materials, products, or services.

We are not a party to any interaction or transaction between you and any health or wellness professional you interact with through the Service (each a “Health or Wellness Professional”), or any third-party care provider or pharmacy service provider whose information is made available via the Service (each a “Care Provider”). Your dealings with Health or Wellness Professionals or Care Providers are solely between you and the applicable Health or Wellness Professionals or Care Provider. Accordingly, before interacting with, engaging with or receiving services from a Health or Wellness Professional or Care Provider, you should make whatever investigation you feel necessary and appropriate.

While we use reasonable efforts to ensure that the information for Care Providers is accurate and up-to-date, we make no guarantee that such information is, in fact, accurate or up-to-date as such information is subject to change based on information we receive from such providers and other sources. These changes may affect the cost of the services you receive from such providers. Further, service descriptions for Care Providers provided via the Service are not intended to constitute offers to sell or solicitations in connection with any product or service.

8. No Warranty

The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Use of the Service is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the Service will create any warranty not expressly stated herein. Without limiting the foregoing, we, our affiliates, and our licensors do not warrant that: (i) any content provided via the Service, including Carrot Content, is accurate, reliable or correct; (ii) the Service will meet your requirements; (iii) the Service will be available at any particular time or location, uninterrupted or secure; (iv) any defects or errors will be corrected; or (v) the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Any content obtained through the Service is obtained at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage that results from your use of such content.

Further, without limiting the generality of Section 6 above, we do not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any third-party websites, information, materials, products, or services offered by any Health or Wellness Professional or third-party, including but not limited to Care Providers, and we are not a party to, and we will not in any way monitor, any transaction between you and any such Health or Wellness Professional  or third-party.

Federal law, some states, provinces and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. This Agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and exclusions under this Agreement apply to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law but will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

‍

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, our affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers or licensors be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we assume no liability or responsibility for any: (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content, including but not limited to Carrot Content; (ii) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to or use of our Service or any content available thereon, including but not limited to Carrot Content; (iii) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Service; (iv) any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Service by any third-party; (v) any errors or omissions in any content, including but not limited to Carrot Content, or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content, including but not limited to Carrot Content; and/or (vi) User Content or the conduct of any third-party. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, our affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an amount exceeding $100.00.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under this Agreement apply to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law but will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.‍

‍

10. Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND CARROT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY OF A JURY TRIAL.

‍

10.1 Arbitration. 

Both you and Carrot agree to resolve by binding arbitration any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory) arising out of or in connection with or relating to (i) the Service, your use of the Service, or the information that you provide us in connection with your use of the Service, or (ii) this Agreement, including without limitation, the validity, interpretation, enforcement, or application of this Agreement and/or Section 10.1, Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 10.6 (collectively, “Claims”).  Both you and Carrot further agree that the arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine all additional threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation issues relating to whether this Agreement is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
‍

10.2 Class Action Waiver.

‍YOU AND CARROT AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER. Further, unless both you and Carrot agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim.   Any determination about the validity, interpretation, enforcement, and/or application of this Class Action Waiver paragraph is delegated to the arbitrator.

‍

10.3 Jury Trial Waiver.

‍YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND CARROT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

‍

10.4 Arbitration Procedure.

‍ A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the Claim to the other party by certified mail or Federal Express, or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice“). All Notices to Carrot must be sent by electronic mail to legal@get-carrot.com. You and Carrot agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Claim, but if the parties do not resolve the Claim within 30 days of the Notice, then either party may commence arbitration.  Any arbitration between you and us will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules“), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting us.  Unless you and Carrot otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.  If your claim is for less than $10,000, we will reimburse your filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. If your claim is for greater than $10,000, the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

‍

10.5 Exceptions.

‍Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Carrot both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, provided that is the sole form of relief sought, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

‍

10.6 Governing Law and Forum Selection.

‍The parties agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA") and AAA Rules will govern interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law section where applicable.  All other claims, disputes, or controversies will be resolved under the laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.  For any claims, disputes or controversies that are not subject to mandatory arbitration under this section, you and Carrot agree that (i) the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of the claim, dispute or controversy, and you and Carrot irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California, and (ii) litigation of any claim, dispute, or controversy proceeding in court will be stayed pending the outcome of any related individual Claim in arbitration.

‍

10.7 Opt-Out.
