Overview

At In Therapy, we are committed to maintaining transparent and fair terms of service. This document outlines the types of changes we may make to our Terms & Conditions, how you will be notified of those changes, and what your rights are when changes are implemented.

We believe in open communication. Before any material changes take effect, we will provide clear notice and give you ample time to review the changes and make an informed decision about your continued use of our services.

⚠️

Important: Please review this page periodically, as it contains the most up-to-date information about how we communicate and implement changes to our terms. Continued use of our services after changes are effective constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

Types of Changes

We categorize changes to our Terms & Conditions into three types, each with different notification requirements and effective timelines:

Change Type Description Notice Period
Material Changes Substantive changes affecting your rights, obligations, fees, or service scope 30 days minimum
Non-Material Changes Minor clarifications, formatting, or administrative updates 14 days minimum
Urgent Changes Changes required by law, security, or to address safety concerns Immediate with notice

When we make changes to our Terms & Conditions, we will notify you through one or more of the following methods:

  • Email Notification: We will send a detailed email to the address associated with your account, describing the nature of the changes and providing a link to the updated terms.
  • In-App Notification: A notification banner will appear when you log in to your account, alerting you to the pending changes.
  • Website Banner: A prominent banner on our website will indicate that terms have been updated, with a link to review the changes.
