Terms of Service for Viamente LLC
Effective Date: March 10, 2026
Last Updated: August 16, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to Viamente. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legal agreement between you and Viamente LLC ("Viamente," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Viamente mobile application (the "App"), website, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. You also agree that we may send you communications relating to the Services by electronic means, including service messages, notifications, updates and changes to these Terms or our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.
Viamente is operated by Viamente LLC, a limited liability company licensed and registered with the Sharjah Media City Free Zone Authority (Shams) under commercial licence number 2644754.01, with its registered office at Shams Business Centre, Al Messaned, Al Bataeh, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Nature of the Services
It is important that you understand what Viamente is, and what it is not.
Viamente is an educational and emotional wellness platform. We publish educational content about mental health and wellbeing, and we provide self-guided tools that let you record and reflect on how you are feeling. That is the whole of what we do.
Viamente is not a healthcare provider, a clinic, a telehealth service or a therapy platform. We do not provide, arrange, broker, host or facilitate any consultation, therapy session, assessment, diagnosis or treatment of any kind, whether directly or through any third party.
Some of our educational content is presented by mental health professionals whom we commission as content contributors. Their appearance in the Services is editorial. It is not an offer of clinical services through Viamente, and it does not create any relationship between you and them. Section 5 explains this in full, and you should read it before contacting any contributor.
Important Disclaimers
Not for Medical Emergencies
THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN A MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A CRISIS, HAVING THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE OR SELF-HARM, OR ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER:
- UAE/Middle East: Contact local emergency services immediately or go to the nearest emergency room
- Worldwide: Contact your local crisis hotline or emergency services
- Do not attempt to access emergency care through the Services
No monitoring of what you write
Nobody at Viamente reads your journal entries, mood logs or reflections, and nothing you write in the app is monitored, reviewed or flagged. If you record something indicating that you are in danger, no alert is generated and no one will be notified. You must not rely on the Services to summon help or to bring your situation to anyone's attention.
If you need help, contact the emergency services or a crisis line directly.
Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Care
Viamente is a wellness and educational platform, not a healthcare provider. The Services provide emotional wellness tools, self-help resources, and mental health education. The Services do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and are not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care (such as without limitation, psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, nursing or any other healthcare profession).
You should always:
- Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical conditions or concerns
- Seek professional help for serious mental health conditions
- Continue any prescribed treatment under professional supervision
- Not delay seeking professional care based on information from the Services

1. Acceptance of Terms
1.1 Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction)
- You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts
- You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms
- Your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation
- All information you provide is truthful, accurate, and complete
1.2 Additional Terms
Your use of the Services is also governed by:
- Our Privacy Policy (available at www.viamenteapp.com), which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information
- Any additional terms presented to you within the App for specific features or services
These documents are incorporated into these Terms by reference. Where additional terms conflict with these Terms, these Terms will prevail unless the additional terms expressly state that they override these Terms for that specific feature or service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy as to how we handle your personal data, the Privacy Policy will prevail.
1.3 Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by:
- Posting an updated version within the App with a new "Last Updated" date
- Sending you an email notification (where appropriate)
- Displaying an in-app notification requiring your acceptance
We will give you at least 30 days' notice of any change that materially reduces your rights or increases your obligations, and that change will not take effect until the notice period has expired. Your continued use of the Services after that date constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree, you may stop using the Services and close your account, and we will refund any subscription fees you have paid for the unexpired part of your then-current billing period.
2. Account Registration and Security
2.1 Account Creation
To access certain features of the Services, you must create an account by providing:
- Your name
- Email address
- Password
- Date of birth
- Other information as specified during registration
2.2 Account Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activities that occur under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach
- Ensuring your account information remains accurate and up-to-date
You may not:
- Share your account credentials with others
- Create multiple accounts for yourself
- Allow others to use your account
- Sell, transfer, or assign your account to any other person or entity
3. The Specialist Directory
3.1 What the Specialist Directory is
The Specialist Directory lists the mental health professionals who present educational content within the Services. For each Specialist we may publish a biography, professional background, areas of interest and an email address.
The Specialist Directory is provided for information only. It is not a booking service, a referral service, a matching service or a clinical service. Viamente does not arrange, facilitate, host, supervise or take part in any contact, appointment, consultation or session between you and any Specialist.
3.2 No relationship with Viamente
If you choose to contact a Specialist, you do so independently and outside the Services. Any resulting engagement is a direct contractual relationship between you and that Specialist, on whatever terms the two of you agree. Viamente is not a party to it, receives no fee, commission or referral payment in connection with it, and has no liability arising from it.
Specialists are independent contractors engaged to produce educational content. They are not our employees, partners or agents, and they have no authority to bind us or to act on our behalf. Nothing a Specialist says to you, whether in Specialist Content or in any communication with you, is said on behalf of Viamente.
3.3 Verification and your own enquiries
Before listing a Specialist we require them to provide a copy of their professional licence, and we check that a recognised regulatory board has vetted and approved their qualifications. That review is carried out by qualified psychologists within our team.
Those checks are carried out at the time of listing and are not repeated. Because we do not provide therapy, we do not require a Specialist to hold a current practising licence in order to remain listed, and we do not monitor whether any licence, registration or credential remains valid. A Specialist's listing therefore describes the qualifications a regulatory board has approved. It is not a statement that they are currently licensed or permitted to practise anywhere.
You are responsible for satisfying yourself, before engaging any Specialist, that they are appropriately qualified, licensed and regulated in your jurisdiction and that they are suitable for your needs. We recommend that you verify their registration directly with the relevant professional regulator.
3.4 No endorsement
Listing a Specialist is not a recommendation, endorsement, or warranty of their competence, character, availability or fitness for any purpose. The order in which Specialists appear does not indicate any ranking of quality or suitability.
3.5 Use of Specialist contact details
The contact details published in the Specialist Directory are made available so that you can make a personal enquiry. You must not use them for any other purpose. In particular, you must not collect, scrape, copy, compile, republish or transfer those details, use them for marketing or recruitment, or use them to send unsolicited communications.
3.6 Concerns about a Specialist
If you have a concern about a Specialist or their content, please tell us at legal@viamenteapp.com. We will review your report and may remove or suspend any listing or content at our discretion. Removal is not a determination of any complaint, and it does not affect any rights you may have against the Specialist.
2.3 Age Requirements
The Services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from or provide Services to individuals under the minimum age. We ask for your date of birth at registration and rely on the accuracy of the information you give us. If we become aware that a user is under the minimum age, we will suspend the account, terminate it and delete the associated data in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

Subscription Fees
Subscription fees are charged in advance for each billing period. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law (including the UAE Consumer Protection Law and its implementing regulations, and any equivalent mandatory consumer protection law that applies to you) or as expressly stated in these Terms. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.
Price Changes
We reserve the right to change subscription fees at any time. Price changes for existing subscribers will take effect at the start of the next billing cycle following notice to you.

3.5 Cancellation and Refunds
Canceling Your Subscription
You may cancel your subscription at any time by:
- Accessing account settings within the App
- Contacting our support team at support@viamenteapp.com Cancellation prevents future charges but does not provide a refund for the current billing period. You will continue to have access to premium features until the end of the paid period.
Refund Policy
We do not offer refunds. A seven-day free trial is available so that you can decide whether the Services suit you before you are charged. We will provide a refund only:
- Where required by applicable law, including the UAE Consumer Protection Law and any equivalent mandatory consumer protection law that applies to you
- If there is a technical issue preventing you from accessing the Services
- At our sole discretion in exceptional circumstances
To request a refund, contact support@viamenteapp.com with details of your request. Refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
3.6 Live Q&A sessions
Some paid plans include invitations to live question-and-answer sessions presented by contributors.
These sessions are general educational discussions. They are not consultations, assessments or therapy, no clinical relationship is created by taking part, and nothing said in a session is advice about your individual circumstances. Do not share personal health information during a session. Anything you choose to say may be heard by every other participant, and we cannot control what other participants do with it.
Sessions may be recorded. We will tell you before a session is recorded, and you may attend without appearing on camera or asking a question. We may cancel, reschedule or change the presenter of any session.
3.7 Access codes and referrals
We may issue access codes giving free or discounted access, and we may let you refer another person in exchange for a period of free access. Access codes and referral rewards have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, are for personal use only, and may not be sold, published or shared in bulk. We may withdraw or cancel any code or reward that we reasonably believe has been obtained or used improperly, including through self-referral or the creation of multiple accounts.

You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable licence to use, store, process and display your User Content, for as long as we hold it under our Privacy Policy and solely for the purpose of:
What you should not record
Viamente is a self-reflection tool, not a medical record. You must not enter into the Services, including in journal entries and any other free-text field, any of the following:

- Details of any treatment you are receiving or the name of any clinician treating you

- Your racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions or trade union membership

- Information about another identifiable person which that person would not want recorded
Writing about how you feel is what the app is for. What we ask you to leave out is the clinical and identifying detail. We do not need it in order to provide the Services, and keeping it out of Viamente protects you.
We do not read, review or monitor what you write, so we cannot check whether you have followed this and we cannot remove information you have chosen to record. You can delete any entry, and your whole account, at any time.
- Providing the Services to you
- Improving the Services through anonymized, aggregated analysis (with your consent)

- Your User Content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws
- Your User Content is not illegal, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable

Arbitration and Governing Law (Dubai)
- 1. Governing Law These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Terms or the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Sharjah.
- 2. Agreement to ArbitrateIf you are using the Services in the course of a business, trade or profession, you and Viamente agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as expressly provided below. If you are a consumer, this arbitration agreement does not apply to you, and clause 10.3 governs instead.
- 3. Arbitration Seat, Rules, and Language
- The seat (legal place) of arbitration shall be Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
- The arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) in force at the time of the filing of the claim, which are deemed incorporated by reference into this clause.
- The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator, appointed in accordance with the DIAC rules, unless the amount in dispute or the complexity of the case reasonably requires three arbitrators.
- The language of the arbitration shall be English.
- 4. Scope of Arbitrable Disputes The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
- 5. Exception – Injunctive and Equitable Relief Nothing in this clause shall prevent either party from seeking urgent or interim injunctive, conservatory, or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in Dubai, including for the protection of confidential information or intellectual property rights.
- 6. Consolidation and Joinder To the extent permitted by the applicable arbitration rules, the arbitrator may consolidate related claims or allow the joinder of additional parties where doing so is necessary for the fair and efficient resolution of disputes, provided that such consolidation or joinder does not materially prejudice any party.
- 7. Costs and Fees The allocation of arbitration costs and the arbitrator’s fees shall be determined by the arbitrator in the final award, taking into account the relative success of the parties and any conduct that has unnecessarily increased the costs of the proceedings.
- 8. No Class or Representative Actions To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, disputes shall be brought and resolved only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator shall not have authority to conduct any class, collective, or representative proceeding.
- 9. Final and Binding Award The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of Dubai.
- 10. Consumer-Specific Mandatory Rights If you are a consumer and mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence give you the right to bring certain claims in your local courts, this clause shall not be interpreted to deprive you of those mandatory rights. In all other cases, this arbitration agreement shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10.3 Jurisdiction and Venue
If arbitration does not apply or is not enforceable, you agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer, nothing in this clause deprives you of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence where mandatory law gives you that right.
10.4 Class Action Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND ONLY WHERE THE LAW APPLICABLE TO YOU RECOGNISES CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS, YOU AND VIAMENTE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
11. General Provisions
11.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Viamente regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications.
11.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
11.3 Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Viamente.
11.4 Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
