DiveThru’s Website Terms & Conditions

Date of Last Amendment: February 4, 2025

Thank you for visiting divethru.com.

The divethru.com website (“Website”) is owned by DiveThru Inc. (“DiveThru,” “we,” “us,” “our”). Our head office is located at Bell Tower, 2100, 10104 103 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0H8. DiveThru includes affiliated, related, or subsidiary companies, and our shareholders, directors, officers, employees, contractors (including our therapists), subcontractors, freelancers, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns.

The Website:

  • is informational, providing information about DiveThru’s services, locations, and therapists, and how we and our therapists provide services (including virtual options); and
  • serves as a portal to the DiveThru App, where our services (including a library of psychoeducational resources) and those of our therapists can be accessed.

These Website Terms & Conditions (“Website Terms”) apply to anyone who uses (visits, browses) the Website. By using the Website, you agree to abide by these Website Terms. Please review them carefully. These Website Terms are a binding legal contract between you and DiveThru.

If you cannot agree to these Website Terms, do not use our Website, i.e., leave the site now. If you have a question about these Website Terms, contact us at privacyofficer@divethru.com.

Please review our Website Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our collection and use of information as explained there, please follow the procedures you will find in that Policy.

We may amend these Terms at any time without prior notice, but significant changes will be communicated via a notice on our Website or through registered user email communications.

DiveThru’s services are not suitable for crisis situations. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent care, please contact emergency services or your local crisis hotline. See resources available in Canada, the US and the UK here.

These Website Terms & Conditions do not apply to the DiveThru App. Your contract with us when using the DiveThru App is the DiveThru App Terms & Conditions. Our privacy commitments to you regarding the Website are outlined in the Website Privacy Policy, and those commitments regarding the DiveThru App are outlined in the DiveThru App Privacy Policy.

A. The Website as Portal to the DiveThru App

On the Website, there are  CTA (Call to Action) buttons/links marked “Find a Therapist,” “Download the app,” “Take me to the app,” Apply Now,” “Log In,” and “Sign Up.” 

If you are asked to enter personal identifying and/or contact information after clicking one of those buttons/links, you have exited the Website and entered the online version of the DiveThru App. (As well, the URL in your browser’s address bar will change from https://divethru.com/ to https://app.divethru.com/.) You may be able to access the DiveThru App Terms & Conditions and DiveThru App Privacy Policy before entering your personal identifying and/or contact information. If the link to the DiveThru App you are using does not provide that access, you will have an opportunity to review the DiveThru App Terms & Conditions and DiveThru App Privacy Policy once you enter the data requested and enter the DiveThru App.

If you review the DiveThru App Terms & Conditions and DiveThru App Privacy Policy after entering personal identifying and/or contact information and you decide that you do not wish to use the DiveThru App or our services, you can request to delete your account by following the directions within the app or by contacting us at privacyofficer@divethru.com

B. The Browser and Mobile Versions of the DiveThru App

The browser version of the DiveThru App has limited utility. It can be used to manage elements of your journey utilizing our services, including features like our matching tool, selecting a therapist, and booking an appointment. To access all of the information and services available on the DiveThru App, please download it on your mobile device. The mobile version of the DiveThru App is free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

C. Who Can Use Our Website, the DiveThru App, and our Services

The Website is intended to be used by adults, although there is no inherent harm in a minor browsing its content.

However, access to the DiveThru App and our services are limited to adults. Minors (persons under the age of 18 or the age of majority where they live) must not access or attempt to access the DiveThru App and our services without the consent of a legal guardian. A parent is a legal guardian and either can consent unless separated or divorced. A parent with sole custody may provide consent. If separated or divorced parents have joint custody, both must consent before a minor can access the DiveThru App and/or our Services, including our therapy and assessment services. For further information about consent by a legal guardian who is not a parent, please contact us at privacyofficer@divethru.com.

The services of DiveThru’s therapists can only be used by residents of Alberta (at one of our studio locations or virtually), British Columbia (virtually), and Ontario (virtually).

Other information and services on the DiveThru App can be accessed and used without geographical restriction.
