Introduction
Last Updated: April 30, 2026
Please read the Mae Health Inc. (“Mae”, “we”, “our”, “us”) Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully. They cover important information about services provided to users (the “Services”), and the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our associated website located at https://meetmae.com/ (the “Website”), services and associated applications. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access and use the Service. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms or the Services, please contact us at hello@meetmae.com.
If you are having a medical emergency, immediately call your doctors or 911. Mae’s Services do not replace your relationship with your primary care practitioner, and does not directly provide care, diagnosis or treatment.
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, EXCEPT FOR (I) CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED BELOW (II) WHERE YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW, OR (III) TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MAE WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR BY JURY TRIAL.
We may indicate that different or additional terms, conditions, guidelines, policies, or rules apply in relation to some of our Services (“Supplemental Terms”). Any Supplemental Terms become part of your agreement with us if you use the applicable Services, and if there is a conflict between these Terms and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control for that conflict.
We may make changes to these Terms. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when these Terms were last changed. If we make future changes, we may provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services, or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must immediately stop using our Services. Any changes to these Terms will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the updated Terms incorporating such changes or otherwise notified you of such changes.

Disclaimer and Release
Users
Mae was created to improve the healthcare experience for women, beginning in maternal health. While we strive to achieve that, you understand and agree that Mae is not acting as a diagnostic service, a physician, or other healthcare provider. You should consult your physician or other healthcare professional to address any health concern. Mae disclaims any liability related to pre-existing, current, or future medical conditions.
The Services may include promotional content for maternal health providers on our site, and enable you to message with, contract, and book services with these providers. You are fully responsible for entering into relationships with providers, and do so at your own risk. Mae disclaims any liability related to your use of, or reliance on any provider.
Providers
Mae also strives to support business growth for independent maternal health practitioners. Any new provider signing up to the Service must agree to operate in a manner that supports the physical and emotional well-being of our users.
Mae represents and warrants that to the best of its actual knowledge and belief the content included in the Services is accurate and complete and does not violate or infringe on any third-parties’ intellectual property rights. Mae Health content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES AND ANY SERVICES, CONTENT OR MATERIALS PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A WRITING BY US AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OUR SERVICES AND ANY SERVICES, CONTENT OR MATERIALS PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND MAE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, MAE DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. WHILE MAE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES AND ANY SERVICES AND CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) SAFE, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) OR OUR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR CONTENT OR MATERIALS. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF OUR SERVICES AND ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS).
Release. YOU HEREBY SPECIFICALLY, FULLY AND FOREVER RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE, DISCHARGE, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE COMPANY PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO DISPUTES BETWEEN USERS AND THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAIVER MEANS YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL INJURIES, DEATH, DISEASE OR PROPERTY LOSSES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE, AND YOU GIVE UP ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE TO SEEK DAMAGES, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN.
If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
ALL DISCLAIMERS AND RELEASES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS) ARE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MAE, THE OTHER COMPANY PARTIES, AND THE COMPANY PARTIES’ RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
Limitation of Liability
Waiver of Certain Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mae and the other Company Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive, or special damages or lost profits, even if Mae or the other Company Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Liability Cap. The total liability of Mae and the other Company Parties to you (whether occurring under these Terms or otherwise), regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid by you to use our Services giving rise to the claim or $100 USD, whichever is greater.
Exclusions. The limitations set forth in this Section will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of Mae or the other Company Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND MAE TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND MAE FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND MAE AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. MAE AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
Arbitrable Claims. For any dispute or claim that you have against Mae, that Mae has against you or that you have, or Mae has, in each case arising from, relating to, or stemming from these Terms, our Services or any aspect of the relationship between you and Mae as relates to these Terms or our Services, including any privacy or data security claims (collectively, “Arbitrable Claims,” and each an “Arbitrable Claim”), you and Mae agree to attempt to first resolve the Arbitrable Claim informally via the following process. If you assert an Arbitrable Claim against Mae, you will first contact Mae by sending a written notice of your Arbitrable Claim (“Claimant Notice”) to Mae by certified mail addressed to 224 W 35th St, Ste 500 #190, New York, NY 10001or by email to hello@meetmae.com. The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Mae asserts an Arbitrable Claim against you, Mae will first contact you by sending a written notice of Mae’s Arbitrable Claim (“Company Notice”), and each of a Claimant Notice and Company Notice, a “Notice”) to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. The Company Notice must (A) include the name of a Mae contact and the contact’s email address and telephone number; (B) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (C) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Mae cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Arbitrable Claim within thirty (30) days after you or Mae receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Arbitrable Claim to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Mae first sends the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
Binding Arbitration. Except for (i) individual disputes that qualify for small claims court or (ii) any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or Mae, including any disputes in which you or Mae seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or Mae’s intellectual property rights or other infringement of your or Mae’s intellectual property rights (“IP Claims”), all Arbitrable Claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including, with respect to Arbitrable Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with the above subsection (a) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Arbitrable Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.
Governance. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law.
Submission. All Arbitrable Claims must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. If you are a consumer, the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply, which are available on the AAA’s website (adr.org), as amended by these Terms as follows:
- YOU AND MAE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND MAE ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against Mae or you by the same or coordinated counsel, may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
- For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee, and Mae will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Mae, Mae will pay all AAA fees and costs.
- For all arbitrations where the claims asserted are $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (a) the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate; (b) any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; and (c) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.
- If you or Mae submits a dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and Mae agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Mae agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
- The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
- The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Mae or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated. In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and Mae understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Mae or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise resolved, your or Mae’s Arbitrable Claim might be delayed. For such coordinated actions, you and Mae also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Mae shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. This staged process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this staged process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Mae or you.
One Year to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Arbitrable Claim by you or Mae relating in any way to these Terms, our Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Mae as relates to these Terms or our Services, must be filed within one year after such Arbitrable Claim arises; otherwise, the Arbitrable Claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Mae will not have the right to assert the Arbitrable Claim.
Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at hello@meetmae.com or by certified mail addressed to 224 W 35th St, Ste 500 #190, New York, NY 10001. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with the governing law section below.
Severability. If any portion of this Section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section will be enforceable.
Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding the Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
Governing Law
These Terms and any claims made hereunder (including Arbitrable Claims) will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any Arbitrable Claim is not subject to arbitration pursuant to the arbitration section above, then the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Mae irrevocably waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.
Modifying and Termination of Our Services
We may: (a) modify our Services or suspend or terminate providing all or part of our Services at any time; (b) charge, modify, or waive any fees required to use our Services; or (c) offer opportunities to some or all users of our Services. We may provide you with notice in advance of the suspension or discontinuation of all or part of our Services, such as by sending an email or providing a notice through our Services. All modifications and additions to our Services will be governed by these Terms or Supplemental Terms, unless otherwise expressly stated by us in writing. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time, and you may terminate these Terms by ceasing use of our Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.
Miscellaneous
Mae’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. Communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.
