Certain supplemental terms apply to the Physicians who utilize the SLAE platform. In the event of a conflict between the supplemental terms in this Section 13, and any other terms herein, these supplemental terms shall prevail.
To be a Physician using the Website (for purposes of this Section 13, “you” or “your”) you must be a licensed physician contracted with or employed by the Medical Practice, and you must agree to comply with all medical and professional board laws, rules, regulations, and other guidance applicable to you as a Physician in the state(s) in which you provide the Services. Your relationship with SLAE users (including, but not limited to, your SLAE clients) is directly between you and these individuals. SLAE users never will have a provider-client relationship with SLAE. SLAE does not practice medicine and offers no medical services. As set forth more fully below, Physician is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices, and other interactions with clients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SLAE shall have no liability whatsoever to Physician with respect to any amounts owed by any client or other consumer to Physician.
SLAE does not provide any medical advice, legal advice, or representations in any way regarding any legal or medical issues associated with Physician, goods, or services offered by Physician, including but not limited to any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations.
Physician will use the Website and provide the Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical and professional practice. While software products such as the Website can facilitate and improve the quality of the services that Physician can offer to his/her clients, many factors, including but not limited to the provider-client relationship, can affect a client’s outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion an outcome may have been affected. Physician shall be solely responsible for his/her use of the Website and provision of the Services.
As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the client care process, Physician agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold SLAE harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any client of Physician, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a client, which is brought against SLAE, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of Physician’s use or operation of the Website and Services. To the extent applicable, Physician will obtain SLAE’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Physician agrees to any finding of fault of SLAE or defect in the Website or Services. SLAE will promptly notify Physician in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Physician with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Physician exclusive control over its defense and settlement.
Finally, as a Physician using the Services, you are expressly representing that: (i) you are fully licensed and otherwise qualified to provide the requested services; (ii) your provision of advice or other services is in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws, including without limitation, laws related to client privacy or confidentiality such as HIPAA; (iii) you are fully responsible for the consequences of any advice or information you offer through providing the Services to the same extent as if you provided the advice or information directly to the client in person or in any other setting; and (iv) your provision of advice or information will be professional, competent and in line with the standards of care and best practices in your industry.
