Terms of Service
Last revision: April 26, 2023
Use of the Site
Hopscotch Corp. (“Hopscotch”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website located at www.joinhopscotch.com and other related websites/platforms and mobile applications (i.e - Hopscotch Kids application) with links to these Terms of Use (collectively, the “Site”). We provide a platform that allows users (“Users”) to use digital gamified treatment programs and exercises in conjunction with online telehealth services which allow Users to interact with licensed healthcare practitioners (“Providers”) to obtain behavioral healthcare services and utilize our content library of treatment programs. Providers also have access to electronic medical record software which enables them to manage patients and associated records, schedule appointments and manage an online booking calendar, submit electronic medical claims, perform client invoicing and access a library of digitized exercises and interventions for use in appointments and to assign to patients as follow up treatment between visits. (“Services”). By accessing and using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and all other terms and policies that appear on the Site. If you do not wish to be bound by any of these Terms of Use, you may not use the Site or Services.
Do not use this Site for emergency medical needs. If you are experiencing a medical emergency and need immediate attention, call 911 immediately. If you are experiencing suicidal ideation and are considering harming yourself or others, call 911 or the suicide hotline, which is listed throughout the Site. We have also gathered a list of national resources for mental health emergencies, which we urge all users to utilize if they are facing an immediate or emergent crisis.
Healthcare Services
The Providers who deliver services through Hopscotch are independent licensed behavioral health providers. Hopscotch does not interfere with the delivery or transmission of medical services provided by our practitioners. Each Provider is responsible for serving at the top of their license and providing evidence-based healthcare, or else they risk no longer providing services through Hopscotch. Hopscotch, or any third parties who promote Hopscotch are not liable for any medical advice or counseling you receive from a Provider through our Services.
Site Content
The Site may include other content, including information that may be posted by other Users. None of the supporting site content, including articles, blogs, information posted by other Users or any other ancillary resources should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation or warranty that any particular treatment or approach is appropriate for your/your child’s situation. Only information provided to you by the Providers who you or your child may be consulting would qualify as medical advice.
Account Enrollment
In order to access the Services as a User, the child who is seeking treatment or use of our other Services must have their legal parent or guardian must create an account (“Account”) by entering their name, email address, password and other information collected by Hopscotch (collectively “Parent/Legal GuardianAccount Information”) and grant their consent to allow their child participate in any treatment exercises or other Services provided by Hopscotch. Henceforth, throughout this Terms of Service, when we refer to “you” we are referring to yourself as the parent or legal guardian and any other child or individual on whose behalf you are authorized to enter into these Terms of Use in your capacity as the parent or legal guardian as the authorized party of such individual. After the legal parent or guardian grants consent for their child to participate, the minor is then granted access to create their own account where they are asked their name, email address, password, and other information collected by Hopscotch (collectively, “Minor Account Information”). As the parent or legal guardian you are responsible for ensuring that not only your, but also your child’s Account Information that you provide to us, during registration and any information that is uploaded to the site is true, accurate, current, and complete at all times, including insurance information. Both parties are not authorized to transfer or share their Account password with anyone or create more than one Account (with the exception of subaccounts established for children of whom you are the parent or legal guardian). The legal parent or guardian is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the Account passwords and for all activities and for all activities that occur under their account and the accounts they are responsible for. Hopscotch is not responsible to its Users for any damages resulting from or arising out of the use of the Site, use of the Parent/Legal Guardian Account Information or Minor Account Information, or any losses of a result of someone else accessing or using your Account, with or without your knowledge.
Use of the Services by Children
The Services are available for use by children; however, children cannot use the Services without their legal parent or guardian’s explicit consent and their supervision. As a parent or guardian signing up in order to receive services for a minor, you will be fully responsible for complying with these Terms of Use.

You shall use the Services and the Site in strict compliance with: (1) these Terms of Service; (2) any additional instructions, guidelines or policies issued by Hopscotch, including those posted on the Site; and (3) all applicable laws, rules and regulations (collectively, "Laws").

By providing Hopscotch with your credit card number, you agree that Hopscotch is authorized to invoice your account for any charges that are payable to Hopscotch. We will inform of you of any charges that are being made to your account, and you are able to cancel your Account at any time, although you will be responsible for any charges associated with Services that had already been provided to you. If your health plan or employer is covering some or all of the charges, the payment you are responsible for will be adjusted accordingly. While Hopscotch will do our best to match you up with Providers who are “in-network” it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that a certain Provider is covered by your health insurance policy.
If you do not have insurance coverage for Services, or if your coverage is denied, you agree that you are responsible for all incurred expenses. Hopscotch offers no guarantee that your insurer or employer will cover the services and we reserve the right to modify our fee structure at any point. If you attempt to reschedule an appointment fewer than 24 hours prior to the appointment, you will be subject to a late cancellation fee and if you miss an appointment without cancelling beforehand, you will be responsible for a no-show fee.
Providers
All Healthcare Providers affiliated with Hopscotch hold the professional licenses issued by the professional licensing boards or agencies in the states where they practice. All practitioners hold advanced post-graduate degrees, have at least 2 years of direct clinical experience and have experience treating children. If you have any complaints with a specific Provider you can contact support@joinhopscotch.comto report the incident(s) and we recommend also contacting the professional licensing board in the state which the care was received.
