Last updated 04/02/24

Introduction and summary

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Ovia Health, a subsidiary of Labcorp, a global life sciences leader. Our Terms of Use Agreement (“Terms”), along with our Privacy Policy, governs the terms of the relationship between you (“You” or “User” and your spouse or partner if you opt him or her into receiving any Ovia Health content) and Ovuline, Inc., doing business as Ovia Health, and its affiliates including Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Ovia Health,” “We,” “Us,” or “our”). You accept these Terms when you use our applications, products, website, content, communications, and services (collectively, the “Services”).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND REQUIRES USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Entering the Agreement

Please read these terms carefully. If you do not agree with all of them, you may not use the Services and you should not enter any of your information into our app(s) or website(s), or communicate any information to our wellness coaches or to other team members.

BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND OVIA HEALTH. You acknowledge that your use of the Services constitutes the use of an electronic signature, and you agree that using the Services is your written acknowledgement that you were provided with the information in these Terms. Your use of the Services after your initial acceptance, even if these Terms of Use change, demonstrates your continued acceptance of these Terms.

You agree that you are seeking the Services for informational and/or educational purposes only; that you will not seek any diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prescription, product recommendation, or medical advice of any kind; and that all Services are provided ‘as is’ and without warranty or representation.

5. Description of the Services

5.1 Summary.

Our Services help users better understand their reproductive health and/or accomplish related goals, including conceiving, tracking menopause, tracking a baby’s growth during a pregnancy, having a healthier pregnancy, and learning about a child’s development. Users can choose to record certain personal data (as defined in our Privacy Policy) through the Services to receive a more personalized experience. Ovia Health’s proprietary health algorithms analyze users’ data and provide customized content in return, with the goal that users will achieve better health outcomes due to the content Ovia has provided. For example, users may track their menstrual periods, symptoms, and weight to receive feedback on when they are most fertile. The Services are educational only and provide no guarantee that users will accomplish any of their reproductive health goals.

5.2 Communications.

Our Services may include communications or content that you receive outside of the Ovia applications, including email messages, push notifications, phone calls, videoconferencing, social media content and interactions, and our website materials.

5.3 Use of Your Information.

Ovia collects, uses and shares your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, which you should review.

5.4 Ovia Health Maternity and Family Benefits.

Some users will have access to Ovia+, which provides additional services and features within the app as part of the maternity and family benefits provided by their employer or their insurer.

5.4.a Digital Health Coaching.

The digital health coach feature allows an Ovia+ user to write a message to an Ovia health coach within the Ovia apps or to schedule a telephone or video coaching session. Importantly, Ovia does not provide an instant response to coaching messages or requests. Access to coaches is provided for educational and information purposes only. Coaches are available to support you in making more informed decisions about your fertility, pregnancy, reproductive health and parenting journeys, not make these decisions for you. Our Services do not give medical advice. If you think you may have a medical emergency or a condition requiring immediate care, do not use our digital coaching services:  please call your doctor or 911 immediately.

5.4.b Customized Content.

An Ovia+ user may see customized content related to their health and wellness benefits. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the benefits information provided to us by third parties. Each user should check their benefits plan before making decisions based on information within the Ovia apps.

5.4.c Ovia Wallet.

Some Ovia+ users have access to Ovia Wallet, a program that allows you to claim reimbursement through Ovia for certain health benefit-related goods and services. If you are eligible for Ovia Wallet, you may be entitled to a virtual or physical debit card; your receipt and use of a debit card is subject to these Terms and to the Cardholder Terms of Ovia’s service provider. To provide you with Ovia Wallet benefits, Ovia shares data with your employer or employer health plan, and with the service providers and processors that support provision of Ovia Wallet, as described in the Ovia Health Apps Privacy Policy, in particular in the section entitled “Ovia+ Data Sharing”.

6. Assumption of risk; no guarantee of success

6.1 Content disclaimer.

A variety of information, articles, feedback, tips, advice, recommendations, messages, comments, posts, text, graphics, software, photographs, videos, data, and other materials (“Content”) is available through the Services. Some of the Content is provided by Ovia Health or its suppliers, and other Content is provided by users, such as MyQ poll statistics and any Community features. Ovia Health cannot guarantee, and is not responsible for, the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any Content, whether provided by Ovia Health or its suppliers, or by users of our Services. The Content is based on U.S. medical guidelines and the guidelines in other countries may be different. Any opinions, advice, statements, or other information expressed or made available by users or third parties are the responsibility of those respective users or other third parties and not of Ovia Health. Ovia Health does not endorse and is not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made anywhere in the Services, including, importantly, within the Community feature.


Ovia Health does not have any obligation to prescreen, edit, or remove any Content provided by users that is posted on or available through the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ovia Health will have the right (but not the obligation), in our sole discretion and for any reason, to prescreen, edit, refuse to accept, remove, or move any such Content.

6.2 Assumption of risk.

You use our Services at your own risk.

  • There is no guarantee that using our Services will result in a successful or healthy pregnancy, nor that connecting you with a fertility specialist will result in a successful or healthy pregnancy.
  • The Services are not intended for use as a method of contraception.
  • Because our Services focus on educating you about reproductive health, they contain detailed and sometimes graphic content about sexual acts, anatomy, medical complications, and more. If you are sensitive to this sort of subject matter, please do not use our Services.

7. Ovia Health does not provide medical advice

THIS IS FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT: Ovia Health does not provide medical advice. Furthermore, the Services are not intended for use as a medical device and do not provide treatment or diagnoses.

Please do not ask Ovia Health for–or rely on–anything that we communicate as medical advice, treatment or diagnoses. Although Ovia Health’s Services may contain articles on medical topics, we make no warranty whatsoever that any of the articles are accurate. Even if a statement we make about a health or medical issue is accurate, it may not apply to you or a child in your care’s symptoms. 

The health or medical information we write about is, at best, general and cannot substitute for the advice of a licensed medical professional (like a qualified doctor/physician, physician assistant, nurse, or other healthcare provider). No one at Ovia Health can take any responsibility for the results or consequences of any attempt to use or adopt any of the information presented in our materials. You should not interpret anything in our Services as an attempt to offer or render a medical opinion or otherwise engage in the practice of medicine.

The content of our Services, such as text, graphics, images, information obtained from our medical partners, sponsors, advertisers, and licensors are for informational purposes only. The 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. If you think you, or a child in your care, may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.

Ovia Health does not endorse or guarantee any specific tests, products, procedures, opinions,  information, manufacturer, service provider or medical provider that may be mentioned in our Content or communicated to you through the Services. Reliance on any information provided by Ovia Health, Ovia Health employees, or others appearing in our Services is solely at your own risk. No claims, representations, or warranties, whether expressed or implied, are made as to the safety, reliability, and performance of any tests, products, providers, or services.

8. License to use the Services

Subject to your acceptance of these Terms, Ovia Health grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable limited license to use any or all of the Services and to display the results of such Services for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you do not remove or obscure any copyright notice, trademark notice, or other proprietary rights notices displayed on or in conjunction with the Content.

These dealings include, but are not limited to, your participation in promotions; the payment for and delivery of items; your viewing or visiting content advertised by third parties; and any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings. These links are provided solely as a convenience to users and should not be construed as an endorsement or guarantee by Ovia Health of content, items, or services on those third-party websites. Your access and use of such sites, including the content, items, or services on those sites, are solely at your own risk.

If you receive Ovia as a benefit through your health insurer or employer, your health insurer, employer health plan, employer or their contractors may communicate with you through the Services. Ovia is not responsible for any such communications nor for any acts or omissions of your health insurer, employer, employee health plan or their contractors. 

Ovia Health does not make any representations or warranties with respect to any content or privacy practices of third parties or any items or services that may be obtained from such third parties, and you agree that Ovia Health will have no liability with respect to any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any dealings between you and any third party, or as a result of the presence of such third parties’ information or materials on the website.

Affiliate marketing:

Our website contains some affiliate marketing links, which means we get paid commission on sales of those products or services we write about. Our editorial content is not influenced by advertisers or affiliate partnerships.

13. Limitation of liability / disclaimer of warranties

Ovia Health and its vendors, licensors, service providers and business partners have no liability whatsoever for your use or reliance on any product or service you use or encounter through the Services. In particular, but without limitation, you are agreeing that Ovia Health and its vendors, licensors, service providers and business partners are not liable under any theory of law for any compensatory, indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages, including but not limited loss of profits, business interruption, loss of information or data, a failure to conceive or deliver, a failure to obtain medical treatment or any other action or omission of behavior following any information or advice found in the Content or on or through the Services, or any aspect of your relationship with a spouse or partner, whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, product liability or otherwise. Our Services would not be provided without these limitations, and if you do not agree to these limitations, do not use the Services. No advice or information you obtain from us or through the Services or in support of the Services shall create any warranty, representation, or guarantee not expressly stated in these Terms. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Ovia Health is found to have a liability to you, you agree that to the extent permitted by law our aggregate liability for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of action will at all times be limited to the amount that you or your employer paid, if any, to Ovia Health with respect to your individual use of the Ovia Health Service in question. In addition, you specifically agree and acknowledge that Ovia Health is not liable for the content submitted by any other user, or any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of a third party.

20. Dispute resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND OVIA HEALTH TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND OVIA HEALTH CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.

A. Arbitration Agreement. You and Ovia Health mutually agree, to the fullest extent of the law, that any Dispute (defined below) shall be arbitrated and finally decided by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879), except as modified below or otherwise agreed to.  As used in this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Ovia Health, including any past, currently pending, existing, or future dispute or disagreement, except:  (a) claims by employees of Ovia Health related to the terms or conditions of their employment; (b) claims for personal physical injury or wrongful death and (c) claims for unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.  You and Ovia Health agree that you are each giving up, to the fullest extent of the law, any right to have disputes resolved in court before a judge or jury.   

B. Class Action Waiver.  You and Ovia Health also mutually agree that, to the fullest extent allowed by law, and except as expressly set out below, each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, non-individual, mass, or representative proceeding.  Further, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, non-individual, mass, or class proceeding, except as stated below.  Nothing in these terms should be read to allow class arbitration.  Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, inapplicable, invalid, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  All disputes with respect to whether any other aspect of this Dispute Resolution provision and its terms is unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court, except as expressly set out below.

C. Arbitration Procedures.  Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute (instead of a judge or jury); arbitration allows for more limited discovery than a court case; and the arbitration process and results are subject to limited review by courts.  In arbitration, you have the right, at your own expense, to be represented by an attorney of your choosing.  Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court could award, but any award or recovery must be consistent with this Agreement.  You and Ovia Health also agree that any in-person arbitral hearing will occur in the United States in the same county and state as your principal place of residence.  Any arbitration under this section will be confidential, and documents exchanged may not be used or shared outside of the arbitration process without the prior written consent of the parties or as required by law.  To the fullest extent of the law, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim, and the arbitrator cannot award relief for, or on behalf of, anyone who is not a party to the proceeding. 

1. Each party retains the right to elect before or within 30 days after arbitration is initiated by either party to have any claims heard in small claims court on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis for a dispute within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction.

D. Pre-Arbitration Notice and Good Faith Negotiations.  Both you and Ovia Health agree that, before initiating any arbitration proceedings of any kind with the AAA, each party will notify the other in writing of any dispute so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.  The notice must be specific and individual to you and include:  (i) your name, street address, telephone number, and the email address you use or used for the online services; (ii) a brief description of the dispute; (iii) the amount of money (if any) at issue; and (iv) the specific relief sought.  The notice must be signed and include the handwritten signature of, as applicable, either you or an Ovia Health employee, depending on which party is providing notice.  Notice sent by you to Ovia Health will be sent to the following email and street addresses:  legal@oviahealth.com and generalcounsel@labcorp.com and 263 Summer Street, Floor 6, Boston , MA 02210.  Notice sent by Ovia Health to you will be sent to the email address  that you provided to Ovia Health.  This notice is a requirement and condition precedent to initiating any arbitration proceedings. 

  1. If you and Ovia Health cannot agree how to resolve the dispute within 45 days after the notice is received by the other party, then either you or Ovia Health may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section, commence an arbitration proceeding with a written demand for arbitration that is individual to you and your dispute, including the content set forth above and a handwritten signature.  Any limitations period will be tolled from the date the dispute is noticed to the other side until the expiration of this 45-day period.

E.

For individual damages claims with less than $25,000 at issue, Ovia Health will pay the additional, reasonable fees and costs of arbitration, not including attorneys’ fees.  For claims with more than $25,000 at issue, or where a party seeks injunctive or declaratory relief, the parties will share the fees and costs of arbitration equally.  The parties’ good faith negotiation of reasonable fees with the arbitration provider is authorized as needed.  If the arbitrator determines that your or Ovia Health’s claim(s) are frivolous, the party bringing the frivolous claim(s) will reimburse the other party for any amounts that other party paid for the arbitration.
