In the absence of any Staffing Agreement these additional terms apply to your use of Our Platform. In providing Clinicians available to you as a Listing Facility, we agree to make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the documentation for Clinicians you interact with as you outline as required in a compliance list on Our Platform.
You are primarily responsible for maintaining all necessary records, instructions, forms, manuals and other written policies and procedures for efficient and safe performances of the Clinicians services to you and to provide any necessary orientation to the Clinicians.

IX. Pretty much everything else
Nothing contained in these terms will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint ventures or partners for any purpose. You may not assign, delegate or transfer your rights or obligations under these terms. We may assign our rights and duties under these terms without such assignment being considered a change to the terms and without notice to you. We may modify these terms, at any time, by posting notice on Our Platform. Your continued use of Our Platform, following the posting of notice of any modification will be subject to the terms in effect at the time of your use. Please review these terms periodically for changes.

Other terms and conditions may apply to our services to you through Our Platform. You will observe these other terms and conditions. If we fail to act with respect to your breach or anyone else’s breach on any occasion, we are not waiving our right to act with respect to future or similar breaches. If a court finds any of these terms to be unenforceable or invalid, that term will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the other terms will remain valid and enforceable. These terms, together with those agreements made a part of these terms by reference (including our Privacy Policy), make up the entire agreement between us relating to your use of Our Platform, and replace any prior understandings or agreements regarding your use of Our Platform. The laws of the State of Utah (USA), without regard to its conflict of laws rules, will govern these terms, as well as your and our observance of them. If you take any legal action relating to your use of Our Platform, or these terms, you agree to file such action only in the state and federal courts located in Salt Lake City, Utah (USA). In any such action we may initiate, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover all legal expenses incurred in connection with the action, including but not limited to costs, both taxable and non-taxable, and reasonable attorney fees. You agree that any disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with Our Platform and or these terms, will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action.
Except for your obligations to pay any sums due hereunder, neither party shall be deemed to be in breach of these terms and agreements.
