1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Aura Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Aura. Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Description of Services

Aura provides a technology platform that facilitates connections between Seekers and licensed healthcare Providers for mental health and wellness services. Our services include:

a) Provider Discovery and Matching: Tools to help Seekers find and connect with licensed mental health Providers based on specializations, availability, and preferences.

b) Appointment Scheduling: Calendar integration and scheduling functionality for booking sessions with Providers.

c) Secure Messaging: Messaging between Seekers and their Providers for appointment coordination and non-emergency communication.

d) AI-Powered Wellness Support: AI-assisted features that offer reflection, general wellness information, mood tracking, and guided exercises for wellbeing support. Aura's AI is not a human, and it does not provide therapy, counseling, or medical care. These features are supplementary and do not replace professional healthcare services.

e) Voice Sessions: Real-time voice features, including live voice sessions with your practitioner and voice conversations with Aura's AI, powered by WebRTC technology.

f) Health Data Integration: Optional integration with Apple HealthKit and other health data sources to provide holistic wellness insights.

g) Payment Processing: Secure payment processing for subscription services and Provider sessions through Stripe.

3. User Eligibility and Account Registration

3.1 Age Requirements You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use the Platform.

5. AI-Powered Features Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: The AI-powered features in Aura, including but not limited to AI chat assistants, voice interactions, wellness recommendations, and automated insights, are provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Aura is an AI, not a human. No person is writing its replies. Aura's AI is not a therapist, counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist, doctor, or other health or mental-health provider, and it does not provide therapy, counseling, or treatment.

The AI features: - Do not replace the judgment of qualified healthcare professionals - Are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric care - Should not be used for medical emergencies or crisis situations - May not account for your complete medical history or individual circumstances

5.2 Limitations of AI Our AI features use advanced language models provided by third-party services including Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and OpenAI. These systems: - May occasionally produce inaccurate or inappropriate responses - Cannot fully understand context or nuance in all situations - Are not a person and cannot form a professional care relationship with you - Should be used as supplementary tools, not primary care

5.3 Your Responsibility You acknowledge and agree that: - Any decisions made based on AI-generated content are your sole responsibility - You should verify any health-related information with qualified professionals - You will not rely solely on AI features for health decisions - The AI is a support tool and not a replacement for human healthcare providers

8. Subscription and Payment Terms

8.1 Subscription Plans Aura offers various subscription plans that may include: - Free tier with limited features - Premium subscriptions with enhanced features - Pay-per-session options for Provider consultations

Current subscription options and pricing are available on our website and within the app.

8.2 Billing and Payment All payments are processed securely through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By providing payment information, you: - Authorize us to charge your payment method for subscription fees - Agree to Stripe's Terms of Service for payment processing - Confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method provided

Upon cancellation: - Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period - No refunds are provided for partial billing periods - You retain access to free features after cancellation

8.6 Provider Session Payments Payments for individual Provider sessions are subject to the Provider's cancellation and refund policies. Aura facilitates payment processing but is not responsible for disputes regarding specific Provider sessions.

8.7 Price Changes We reserve the right to modify subscription prices. Price changes will not affect your current subscription period and will be communicated in advance of your next billing cycle.

9. Health Information and HIPAA

9.1 Healthcare workflows HIPAA applicability depends on the service and parties involved. Using Aura does not establish a Business Associate Agreement or certify that a workflow is HIPAA compliant. Before handling protected health information, practitioners must verify the applicable agreements, vendor services, configuration, and safeguards.

9.2 Privacy and authorization Our Privacy Policy at https://auragpt.ai/privacy describes data handling, connected services, retention, and rights. Accepting these Terms is not a substitute for a separate consent, HIPAA authorization, or agreement required by law. A practitioner's own privacy notice may also apply.

10.1 Aura GPT messaging program WELLNESS DISTRICT LLC operates the Aura GPT SMS program. It provides user-requested verification codes and, after a separate opt-in, automated conversational onboarding, replies from Aura's AI wellness assistant, requested task updates, appointment confirmations and reminders, and recovery messages when an onboarding call disconnects.

10.2 Your choice and consent Providing a phone number, creating an account, or accepting these Terms does not by itself enroll you in ongoing SMS messages. To connect Aura texting, enter your number, actively select the SMS consent control, which starts unchecked, and complete phone verification. The consent disclosure explains the messages you are choosing to receive. You can use app-only onboarding without enrolling in ongoing texts. SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase.

Requesting an account verification code is separate from consenting to ongoing conversations. Consent to Aura conversational texts does not authorize marketing messages from Aura, practitioners, or other businesses. Promotional messages require a separate, explicit marketing opt-in. The SMS consent disclosure dated September 22, 2026 includes appointment confirmations and reminders. Earlier conversational-only consent does not authorize appointment texts; users must separately consent to appointment notifications or accept the updated disclosure. Appointment delivery also depends on notification preferences.

10.3 Frequency, rates, and assistance Expect up to 8 messages per month for verification codes and reminders. Messages in reply to your own texts, and replies you request from Aura, vary with your activity. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to unsubscribe from the SMS program.

Reply HELP for help, or contact info@auragpt.ai.

You can also choose app-only conversations in Aura. Push, email, and in-app communication preferences are managed separately.

10.4 Delivery and privacy Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery and timing are not guaranteed. Aura texting is not an emergency service.

Our Privacy Policy at https://auragpt.ai/privacy explains how we use messaging information. Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in and consent information are not sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Service providers may process this information as needed to deliver messages on our behalf.
