2. Acknowledgement of Annual Membership Fee
MissPoppins charges an Annual Membership Fee (the “Annual Membership Fee”) for access to certain features of the Services. The Annual Membership Fee may be modified by MissPoppins from time to time. Certain members may have access to the Services through their employers, professional affiliations, partnerships, health programs, or other organizations, and as a result, the Annual Membership Fee will not apply to such members.
The Annual Membership Fee covers costs associated with personal services that enhance your healthcare experience, tools to facilitate access to healthcare services, and certain on-demand telehealth services, but are typically not covered by or billed to insurance. Membership services include exclusive personal services such as insurance and billing navigation, advice on provider selection, specialist booking and referral management, 24/7 connection to our services team, digital tools for easy access to MissPoppins and MissPoppins services, including telehealth services, as well as lifestyle and wellness offerings.
The Annual Membership Fee is not a covered benefit under most health insurance plans or other healthcare benefit plans such as the Health Saving Account or Flexible Spending Account. As a result, you acknowledge that you may not be able to submit the Annual Membership Fee for coverage under your insurance or benefit plan, and as such, you will be responsible for the cost of such Annual Membership Fee.

You will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the annual membership fee paid for the then-current membership period.
If the amount to be charged to you varies from the amount you pre-authorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), for example, due to an increase in the Annual Membership Fee, you have the right to receive, and we will provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the transaction.

3. Acknowledgement of Service Package Fee

The Service Packages Fee may be modified by MissPoppins from time to time. Certain members may have access to the Services through their employers, professional affiliations, partnerships, health programs, or other organizations, and as a result, the Service Packages Fee will not apply to such members.
The Service Packages Fee covers costs associated with personal services that enhance your healthcare experience, tools to facilitate access to healthcare services, and certain on-demand telehealth services, but are typically not covered by or billed to insurance. Services include exclusive personal services such as insurance and billing navigation, advice on provider selection, specialist booking and referral management, 24/7 connection to our services team, digital tools for easy access to MissPoppins and MissPoppins services, including telehealth services, as well as lifestyle and wellness offerings.
The Service Package fees would vary basis the kind of services and coaches you would be consulting with to assist you with any childcare assistance that you might require.

Agreement to Arbitrate
You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). You will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide us with written notice to opt out of arbitration (“Arbitration Opt-out Notice”) by email at ask@misspoppins.io within thirty (30) days following the date you first accept these Terms, or if you have not registered for an account, then within thirty (30) days following the date you first use our Services. If you don’t provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless you otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any limitations set forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate on the right to arbitrate claims on a class or representative basis, or as part of a consolidated proceeding, as to a given claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in the Northern District of California. All other claims will be arbitrated. This “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rulesor by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. AAA provides a general form for a Demand for Arbitration and a separate form for Demand for Arbitration for California residents. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless you agree with us otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that are submitted to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. 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. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. We will not seek, and hereby waive all rights we may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration.
Fees
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, we will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Even after termination, these Terms will remain in effect such that all terms that by their nature may survive termination will be deemed to survive such termination.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a proper authority to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and remain valid and enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified to the maximum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable or, if modification is not permitted by law, the provision will be disregarded.

We ask for your billing information when booking Services to verify your identity and to validate your card for payment to your Care Provider. Stripe accepts all major credit and debit cards as well as certain FSA and HSA cards. Depending upon the Services provided or to be provided, your credit card may be charged prior to your visit with Care Provider(s), upon completion of the Services or upon determination that payment is due in accordance with applicable cancellation policies. Furthermore, you hereby acknowledge that charges to your credit card for Services may be made in installments, some portions of which may be charged prior to delivery of Services and may not be refundable. By providing MissPoppins with your credit card number, you agree that MissPoppins is authorized to immediately charge your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Care Providers in association with Services scheduled or delivered and that no additional notice or consent is required. MissPoppins reserves the right to modify or implement a new pricing structure at any time prior to billing you for your initial payment or for future payments due pursuant to these Terms of Use. All payments for Services shall be made to MissPoppins, and no payments for Services shall be made directly to Care Providers without the prior written consent of MissPoppins.
