2. Program Description
Through the Platform, the Company offers an online self-guided mental health program known as
“Virtual EMDR” (“the Program”). The Program is based on the principles of eye movement
therapy commonly referred to as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or “EMDR”.
EMDR is used for the treatment of mental health conditions such as trauma, post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and addictions.
The Program is designed for self-guided use by an individual in a non-clinical setting. You
may also elect to use it under the guidance or supervision of a professional, such as an
EMDR practitioner or therapist. The Company does not make any warranties, claims, or
representations as to the efficacy of using the Program compared to other formats of
delivery of EMDR, such as traditional in-person sessions with a therapist.
The Company does not warrant that the Program has been endorsed, created, developed or
tested by any professional organization associated with EMDR. The Company also does not
represent that we are affiliated, endorsed by, members of, connected to or in any way
associated with any such organizations. Any comments by EMDR practitioners that appear on
the Platform are made in their individual capacity and do not represent an endorsement of
the Product or the Company by organizations to which such practitioners may belong.
