Form Version: GMD-1.12 — Effective Date: September 28, 2026 · Last Updated: October 10, 2026

General Medical Disclaimer, Waiver & Health Acknowledgment

This form applies to every VAVE user. It must be reviewed and accepted by every account holder and every guest (Section 1) — whether or not you ever participate in a research study — and it governs all use of any VAVE System. Research participants complete this form in addition to the separate research screening and consent documents for their study.

1. When You Will See This Form

  • Account activation. After you create a VAVE account, your account is not activated for sessions until you have reviewed and accepted this form. Declining leaves your account inactive for sessions.
  • Before every session. Before each session, the App or Hub will ask you to confirm three things: that you are not impaired and are able to decide for yourself to take the session; that none of the conditions listed in Section 4 applies to you, or, if one does, that you have obtained clearance from your physician and recorded the clearance as Section 5 describes; and that you accept the risks and understand that a VAVE System is a general wellness product, not a medical device. The conditions are shown to you on that screen. If anything has changed since your last session, you must update your health profile and complete the Condition-Triggered Acknowledgment (Section 5) again before continuing.
  • If you take a session without your own account. If someone else runs your session on their VAVE System, you are a guest. Before your first session you review and accept this form yourself, on your own phone, through a link we send by email or text message or a code shown at the session. Before every session you confirm the pre-session screening the same way. No one can accept this form for you. If you do not accept on your own phone, the person running your session may instead confirm to us that they checked you are 18 or over, that they shared this form with you in full, and that none of the conditions in Section 4 applies to you. That person then takes responsibility for those steps, as the Terms of Use describe, and we keep their confirmation and nothing that identifies you. If a condition in Section 4 applies to you, you complete Section 5 yourself, on your own phone, or the session does not go ahead.
  • When this form is updated. If we revise this form, you will be asked to review and accept the new version before your next session. Continued use requires acceptance of the current version.
  • Recordkeeping. Each acceptance is captured as an electronic signature — your typed legal name paired with an affirmative checkbox — and our backend records the exact form version presented, the date and time of your acceptance, and your authenticated account. Your acceptance history is retained with your account records. For a guest, the record carries the email address or mobile number the guest used in place of an account.

2. General Wellness Disclaimer

VAVE Systems, the VAVE App, the VAVE Hub, and the Cloud Services are general wellness products intended to support relaxation, stress management, mindfulness, and overall well-being. They are not medical devices, have not been cleared or approved by the FDA or any comparable regulator, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Biofeedback readings and any insights displayed are informational only, are not medical advice, and do not create a relationship with a doctor or other healthcare provider. Never use a VAVE System as a substitute for professional medical care, and never delay seeking care because of anything shown in the App or Hub.

3. Modalities Covered by This Form

Every VAVE System delivers, by default, music (audio) and multi-channel vibration. Depending on your System's configuration and the add-on modules you have purchased and enabled, a session may also include the following add-on modality:

  • Biofeedback sensing, which at launch comes from a compatible headband that reads heart rate and EEG. A heart-rate chest strap and voice analysis are possible future sensors; if and when voice analysis is offered, the analysis uses a microphone.

Light, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic fields) and virtual reality (VR) are planned modalities and are not currently available on any VAVE System. This form covers them, and the health conditions relevant to them, so that the information is complete and consistent if and when they are introduced.

This form covers the risks of all of these modalities. It applies to you even if your System currently includes only music and vibration, because further modalities may be enabled later under your account.

4. Health Conditions — Talk to Your Doctor First

We recommend that you obtain clearance from your primary care physician before using a VAVE System if any of the following applies to you:

  • A pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator, cochlear implant, insulin pump, or any other implanted electronic device or other medical implant
  • Pregnancy or possible pregnancy
  • A history of seizures or epilepsy (including photosensitive epilepsy, which is relevant to the light and VR modalities)
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a known blood-clotting disorder, or use of anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication
  • Severe or unstable cardiovascular disease, severe hypotension, or a recent heart attack or stroke
  • Recent surgery, a recent fracture, acute inflammation, an open wound, or an acute injury in an area the System or a sensor contacts
  • Severe osteoporosis, spinal instability, or any condition affected by mechanical vibration
  • Active cancer or current chemotherapy or radiation treatment
  • A significant psychiatric condition, or current severe psychological distress
  • Photosensitivity, photosensitizing medication, or a significant eye condition (relevant to light modalities)
  • Vertigo, severe motion sickness, or a balance disorder (relevant to VR)
  • Skin sensitivity or a skin condition in areas where sensors or surfaces make contact
  • Fever, an active infection, or symptoms of contagious illness (do not use while ill)
  • Any other condition your physician believes could be affected by sound, vibration, electromagnetic fields, or light

5. What Happens If You Report a Condition

  • Proceeding after a reported condition. If your health profile or a pre-session screening reports a condition, the in-app flow records the condition and permits you to proceed only after the recorded condition-triggered acknowledgment described in this Section: physician clearance confirmed, or risks accepted.
  • Sound and vibration — the modalities available today. Sound and vibration are the only modalities currently available on any VAVE System (Section 3). The Section 4 conditions carry the physician-clearance recommendation above, the recorded acknowledgment described in this Section and the Section 6 safety rules, and no automatic modality protection is claimed for sound or vibration.
  • Checked against the System you are using. Your reported conditions are evaluated against the features of the specific VAVE System you are using at the time of each session. Because Systems differ in the modalities they include, the same reported condition may affect one System and not another.
  • Physician clearance and acknowledgment. You will be advised to obtain clearance from your primary care physician. After reviewing that advice, you may (a) confirm that you have obtained clearance, or (b) acknowledge the described risks and choose to proceed at your own risk, by completing a separate, recorded risk acknowledgment — or (c) decline to proceed, in which case the session does not go ahead. Each choice is recorded with the form version and timestamp as described in Section 1.
  • Hard-block conditions. For your safety, no risk-acknowledgment path is offered for the following combinations, and none will be offered — they cannot be re-enabled by acknowledging the risk: PEMF, if and when it is introduced (it is a planned modality — Section 3), will be permanently disabled on non-overridable terms for users reporting a pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator, or other implanted electronic device, or pregnancy; light/photic modalities, if and when they are introduced (light is a planned modality — Section 3), will be permanently disabled on the same non-overridable terms for users reporting photosensitive epilepsy; and VR, if and when it is introduced (it is a planned modality — Section 3), will be permanently disabled on the same non-overridable terms for users reporting photosensitive epilepsy. These modalities can be restored only by updating your health profile if the condition no longer applies.

6. General Safety Rules for Every Session

Start at low intensity. Stop immediately if you feel pain, numbness, tingling, dizziness, nausea, or chest discomfort. Do not use a VAVE System while driving or operating machinery. Do not use it on broken skin, submerge it, or use it in a sauna or steam environment. Do not use a VAVE System while you have a fever or symptoms of contagious illness. Full details are in our Contraindications & Safety information, which is incorporated by reference.

7. Age and Eligibility

You must be 18 years of age or older to hold a VAVE account, to accept this form, and to use a VAVE System. VAVE Systems and the Services are for adults only — no one under 18 may use a VAVE System. VAVE research studies are likewise limited to participants 18 years of age or older.

8. Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release

By accepting this form, I affirm and agree that:

  • I have read and understood this form, including the modality descriptions, health-condition list, and safety rules above;
  • I have disclosed my relevant health conditions accurately in my health profile, and I will keep that profile up to date;
  • I understand that ResonantVibe recommends I consult my primary care physician before use if any listed condition applies to me;
  • I voluntarily assume all risks associated with my use of a VAVE System and its enabled modalities, including the risks described in this form and the Contraindications & Safety information;
  • To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release ResonantVibe LLC, its affiliates (including Resonaid), and their officers, employees, contractors, and agents from liability for injuries or damages arising from the risks I have assumed, except to the extent caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct or where such a release is prohibited by law; and
  • This release does not waive any right that cannot be waived by agreement, and nothing in this form limits my right to report a problem or injury to ResonantVibe at support@resonantvibe.com.

9. Acceptance

Please select one:

☐ I ACKNOWLEDGE THE RISKS AND CHOOSE TO PROCEED. I accept this General Medical Disclaimer, Waiver & Health Acknowledgment.

☐ I DECLINE. I understand my account will remain inactive for sessions, or, if I am a guest, my session will not go ahead, until I accept the current version of this form.
