Services and Platform
Ionava operates a financial platform designed around health and wellness. Ionava is not health insurance, does not provide medical coverage, does not process insurance claims, and does not make medical or treatment decisions.
Ionava does not act as a healthcare provider, insurer, or medical decision-maker. Nothing in this Agreement creates an insurer–insured relationship, a healthcare provider–patient relationship, or any form of medical authority.
Ionava may charge fees for use of the Services, or portions or features thereof (“Fees”), which shall be due and payable in such amounts and at such times as are described in the Services from time to time.
Ionava may use a third party payment service to process your payment of Fees. By submitting your payment account information, you grant us the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service and agree that we will not be responsible for any failures of the third party to adequately protect such information. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of such third party payment service in addition to this Agreement.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Ionava unless you opt out as described below and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services, Ionava’s marketing or advertising practices, to the collection of information on the Services, to the sharing of information collected on the Services, or to any aspect of your consumer relationship with Ionava, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, nonrepresentative) basis; and (2) you or Ionava may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose, accrued, or were asserted before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement or any prior version of this Arbitration Agreement.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH IONAVA, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST IONAVA ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST IONAVA ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
(b) Informal Negotiation, Initiating Arbitration, Arbitration Rules and Forum
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Before initiating an arbitration proceeding, the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute in good faith (except any dispute expressly exempted by this Arbitration Agreement) informally for at least thirty (30) days – to initiate negotiations, you must send a letter describing your claim and the relief sought to Ionava, Inc., 324 S. Beverly Dr. #473, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute through negotiations, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the applicable AAA rules. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.
The place and manner of the arbitration shall be governed by AAA’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Ionava. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial
YOU AND IONAVA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and IONAVA are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
YOU AND IONAVA AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court.
If more than 100 arbitration demands are filed against Ionava relating to substantially the same conduct or underlying facts by individuals who followed the procedures set forth in Section (b) and are represented by the same counsel or coordinated counsel, Ionava has the right to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement and to have the matter heard in Federal or State court in the State of California.
(f) 30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement: Ionava, Inc., 324 S. Beverly Dr. #473, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Your notice must include your name, address, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
(g) Severability
Subject to Section (e), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(h) Survival of Agreement
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Ionava.

Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
Force Majeure
You agree that Ionava is not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, pandemics and epidemics, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.

The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent or severed from this Agreement if no such modification is possible, and other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. This Agreement and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred, delegated or assigned by you, but may be assigned, delegated or transferred by Ionava without restriction. Any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation or transfer by you in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and the parties’ respective successors and permitted assignees. Certain of our licensors and suppliers may be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and have the right to enforce this Agreement against you.
