The following terminology applies to these Terms and Conditions, Privacy Statement and Disclaimer Notice and all Agreements:

“Client”, “Practitioner”, “Contributor”, “Donor”, “You” and “Your” refers to you, the person log on this website and compliant to the Company’s terms and conditions.
“The Company”, “Ourselves”, “We”, “Our” and “Us”, refers to our Company. “Party”, “Parties”, or “Us”, refers to both the Client and ourselves.

Any use of the above terminology or other words in the singular, plural, capitalization and/or he/she/they, are taken as interchangeable and therefore as referring to same.

User Roles

Users may assume one or more roles on Prodana. Please read all the portions in this “user roles” section particularly carefully, as they pertain to your day-to-day use of the platform. We strive to express these requirements in simple terms to make them clearly understandable to all.

Practitioner Role

Practitioners are, in the broadest sense, committed to helping others improve their lives. On Prodana, a practitioner can create a public profile, raise funds from contributors which get displayed publicly on their profile page, and be contacted by potential clients.

Prodana does not take a stance on which modalities or treatment approaches are or aren’t effective. A modality being presented on the site is in no way an endorsement of its safety or validity.
The presence of a certain practitioner profile on the site does not attest to the efficacy, validity, or training of any individual. All clients must perform their own due diligence when choosing to contact or work with a practitioner.
Prodana reserves the right to remove a practitioner from the platform at any time, for any reason, at our discretion.
All funds raised on a practitioner profile do not belong to the practitioner, until they are paid out to the practitioner after successful completion of a client session. Successful completion will be verified by the client, and Prodana may withhold funds until successful verification is achieved.
The value of a session may be defined by a practitioner and modified at any time. This will immediately affect the payouts for all future sessions from that point forward. Updated session values will be publicly displayed on the site as well as potentially sent out as an update to site users.
Even after payouts are made, should it become apparent that sessions did not occur, the practitioner will be legally liable for the amounts they were paid out from Prodana.
By using the platform Practitioners are committing to uphold all the laws in their local jurisdiction, all ethical requirements for their specific credentials, and a general commitment to do no harm and always hold their clients’ best interest in mind. Should a Practitioner violate any of these commitments during their practice, it will also constitute a breach of Prodana’s terms of services.
Prodana reserves the right to allocate the funds to a different practitioner at their discretion if a practitioner does not utilize the funds allocated to them within 90 days of when a sum was allocated.
Practitioners must adhere to all legal and ethical privacy requirements. All documentation regarding a client’s mental or medical history should not be stored anywhere on the platform. Prodana only collects client’s first and last names and emails for authentication and marketing purposes, and even this information should only be kept on the dashboard and not displayed publicly or shared with anyone. Practitioners must abide by information security best-practices: using a strong password, keeping their password in a safe place, and not sharing their login credentials with others.
Practitioners must conduct their own due diligence into the clients they choose to work with. Clients who reach out through Prodana are not vetted by the platform, and Practitioner must employ their own systems for assessing the safety and appropriateness of any potential inquiry they receive through the platform.
All contributions processed by Prodana to a specific practitioner page will be charged a platform fee of 3%. This, on top of any credit card processing fees charged by Stripe, as well as any payout fees from Stripe or other payout partners.

Client Role

Individuals seeking mental health support or personal growth assistance may utilize Prodana to connect with professionals. After a session, they must leave a review and will be prompted to make a contribution for others to receive the same benefits they did.

Practitioners listed on Prodana are not necessarily vetted by the platform. Any engagement, contact, or work with a Prodana specialist is done solely at the client’s own volition and risk. A potential client should conduct their own due diligence both into the specific practitioner and the modalities they employ.
Prodana is in no way liable for any harm or damage, physically, mentally, or financially, that occurs to either a client, practitioner, or donor, as a result of using the platform.
By working with a practitioner through the Prodana platform, the client agrees to confirm after each session that it actually occurred, and leave a review. The client is not required to identify themself by name in the review. Notifications will be sent via email. If a session is not confirmed within 72 hours of it occurring, Prodana reserves the right to penalize the client up to the full value of the session, as defined by the practitioner.
Should a client miss a session, they may be penalized by the platform according to the terms specified by the specific practitioner whose session they missed.
By using the platform, the client agrees to receive updates and marketing communications via email from Prodana.
Should any issues arise while working with a practitioner, please notify support@prodana.org

Contributor Role

Contributors give money towards a practitioner’s work, allowing them to impact more people. Contributors may also be called “supporters”, “donors”, or “backers”.

Processing of contributions is done via Stripe payment gateways, ensuring donations are encrypted and sent directly to Stripe. No payment information is stored on Prodana’s servers.
Prodana may collect the name, email, phone and address of a Contributor.
Contributions made on Prodana are not sent directly to a Practitioner. Instead, they are held by Prodana and distributed to the practitioner after a session is successfully completed by a practitioner and confirmed by the client.
If a practitioner does not utilize the funds allocated to them within 90 days of allocation, Prodana reserves the right to allocate the funds to a different practitioner at their discretion. Prodana allocates funds to Practitioner from money paid or contributed by clients and contributors.
Prodana may contact a contributor with updates and marketing messages via email, text, phone call, or mail.
