1. Acceptance of Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with the terms of your signed order proposal (“Proposal”), collectively forms the Customer Agreement (“Agreement”) between you (“you”) and MedTrainer, Inc. and any of our associated and subsidiary companies (collectively, “MedTrainer”, “we” or “us”) regarding your use of our web platform ( “Sites”) and the services provided through the Sites (“Services”).

You represent that you are authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the organization executing the Proposal (or, if applicable, in your individual capacity). Any individuals who are authorized to access the Services under the Agreement (“End Users”) do so subject to our End User Terms, available https://medtrainer.com/terms/. You agree that you or your organization, as applicable, is solely responsible for your End Users’ compliance with the End User Terms.

This Agreement, including any policies or guidelines incorporated herein, constitutes the entire and only agreement between us and you, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings with respect to the Site and Services. This Agreement may be amended at any time by us in which case we will provide reasonable notice to you of any material modifications at the e-mail address you provided in the Proposal.

2. Fees and Payment

2.1 Except as otherwise specified in the Proposal or in this Section 2, all fees for Services are due and payable monthly in arrears (“Fees”). Some services must be paid in advance, such as provider enrollments with insurance payers, background checks, fee-based board certification verifications, and provider profile access within third party systems. In the event you elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the thirty (30)-day period before the scheduled renewal date of your contract, you will remain liable for payment of the aggregate contract amount. The amount due upon early cancellation prior to the end of the contract term is not a penalty, it is payment of the aggregate, agreed upon contract amount.
2.2 Fees accrue regardless of usage. In the event of an unsuccessful billing attempt, you will be notified, and your account may be suspended until your credit card information is updated. A forty-five dollar ($45) processing fee will be assessed for any ACH rejection. All payments for services rendered are paid in advance for 30 days trailing such payment.
2.3 You must raise any dispute regarding Fees within ninety (90) days after the date payment is due. We will endeavor to resolve any disputes promptly. You waive any right to dispute a charge that is not raised and resolved within ninety (90) days from the date of the charge.
2.4 Your automated billing method, including credit card, ACH, etc., will be billed in accordance with the terms listed on your Proposal until your subscription is discontinued. If you want to use a different credit card or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your credit card information by logging into your account. In the event of unsuccessful billing, you will be notified and your account may be suspended until you update your billing information with a valid credit card. You will remain responsible for all monthly charges incurred whether or not your account is in default or is suspended.
2.5 You will pay all applicable taxes applicable to the Services you purchase, except taxes on MedTrainer’s income or personnel. Taxes are determined by independent jurisdictions that MedTrainer does not control. Taxes may be added to MedTrainer invoices at the mandated rate without advanced notice to you. Any such taxes will be notated on any invoice issued by MedTrainer.

3. Users

3.1 You solely are responsible for verifying the identities and any credentials for any End Users. You acknowledge that we will follow your instructions regarding End Users to be given access to the Services and that we have no responsibility to verify the identities of your End Users or provide you with any information in respect of their use of the Services.
3.2 If you add authorized End Users and/or Services from our associate companies, such additional End Users and Services will be billed automatically to you in accordance with contracted rates as specified in the Proposal.
3.3 Additionally, MedTrainer regularly audits use of the Services to determine the number of End Users you have authorized. You acknowledge and agree that we may assess Fees at the rates stated in your Proposal for the total number of authorized End Users, as determined by any of our audits, and that your monthly Fees will thereafter be based on such number of End Users. [We reserve the right to unilaterally determine contracted rates and bill for additional End Users and/or Services whether or not such additional End Users and/or Services are readily quantifiable.] We are not obligated to apply any special pricing, promotions, or discount to newly requested End User activation(s) or the provision of additional Services.

9. No Guarantee of Results; Additional Services

9.1 The Services include and reference educational content, some of which is directed to compliance with applicable legal standards, guidance toward insurance-network standards and preparation for certification or accreditation reviews or tests. You acknowledge that we do not and cannot guarantee that the Services will achieve any particular results for you or any End User(s). Using the Services does not mean that you or any End Users(s) will meet, comply with or be certified or accepted by any educational requirements, compliance requirements, health and safety requirements, human resource requirements, accreditation, continued accreditation, rights, privileges, provider enrollment submissions to insurance payers, and payer decisions to contract with specific providers. Those outcomes are outside of MedTrainer’s control.

We cannot and do not guarantee you or any End User(s) will successfully contract with any insurance payer. We have no liability and offer no refunds, deductions or credits in relation to you or any End User(s)’ outcomes or relationships with any insurance payer. Do not buy access to the Services in anticipation of expectation of reimbursement from any Insurer. Do not provide health-care services or products to any individual in hopes that their Insurer may or will enroll you or your End User(s) as an “in-network” or preferred provider.
9.3 The Services and their content are based on our best of knowledge at the time they were prepared, not at the time you may access them. Training content is reviewed periodically, however the accuracy of the Services and their content are subject to inaccuracy due to factors beyond our control. We therefore do not guarantee that the training content will be up-to-date at any particular point in time.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and you shall not in any event settle any matter without our written consent.

13. Notice and Opportunity to Cure

It shall be a condition precedent to either Party’s right to terminate this Agreement for Cause that (i) the Party seeking termination shall first have given the other Party written notice stating with specificity the reason for the termination (“breach”) and (ii) if such breach is susceptible of cure or remedy, a period of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of such notice shall have elapsed without the breaching Party having effectively cured or remedied such breach during such 30-day period, unless such breach cannot be cured or remedied within thirty (30) days, in which case the period for remedy or cure shall be extended for a reasonable time (not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days) provided the breaching Party has made and continues to make a diligent effort to effect such remedy or cure.

Subject to Section 10, you and MedTrainer agree to submit any dispute arising under or in connection with the use of the Services to the state and federal courts sitting in the Clark County, Nevada and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction thereof.

15. Arbitration

You and MedTrainer agree that any disputes regarding this Agreement, including threshold questions of arbitrability, will be determined through binding individual arbitration on the following terms, namely:

15.1 Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or relating to the Services, and/or disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement, including threshold questions of arbitrability must be resolved by final and binding final and binding arbitration before and administered by JAMS in Clark County, Nevada, which arbitration will, except as specifically stated in this Section 14, be conducted in accordance with and pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect; provided that, the arbitration provisions of this Section 14 will govern over any conflicting rules which may now or in the future be contained in the JAMS Rules. The demand for arbitration shall be made by any party hereto within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in any event shall not be made after the date when institution of legal proceeding, based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question, would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations under the Governing Law provision in Section 13. The law applicable to the validity of the arbitration clause, the enforcement of any award and any other question of arbitration law or procedure shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.A. The final decision of the arbitrator will constitute a conclusive determination of the issue in question and will be binding on each of the parties.
15.2 Any such arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator who will be compensated for his or her services at a rate to be determined by the mutual agreement of MedTrainer and Customer, but based upon reasonable hourly or daily consulting rates for the arbitrator in the event the parties are not able to agree upon the arbitrator’s rate of compensation. MedTrainer and Customer shall each pay half the fees and costs of the arbitrator but the prevailing party may request that the arbitrator award reimbursement of all or a portion of such fees and costs from the non-prevailing party in accordance with the provisions set forth below. MedTrainer and Customer will select the arbitrator by mutual agreement promptly following initiation of arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Rules; provided, that in the event the parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days of initiation, MedTrainer and Customer will each select one arbitrator from a list provided by JAMS (the “JAMS List”) and the two arbitrators so selected will select a third arbitrator, which arbitrator will be the sole arbitrator for the purpose of resolving the dispute; provided further that, in the event the two arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on the third arbitrator within 45 days of initiation, then JAMS will have the authority to select an arbitrator from the JAMS List. Each arbitrator selected above will be qualified by training and experience for the matters under dispute.
15.3 The arbitrator chosen in accordance with these provisions will not have the power to alter, amend, or otherwise affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or the provisions of this Agreement or the authority to change, extend, modify, or suspend any of the terms of this Agreement, or to grant an award or remedy any greater than that which would be available from a court under the statutory or common law theory asserted. In addition, either party may seek, from a court of competent jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada, any provisional remedies or injunctive relief in support of their respective rights and remedies hereunder without waiving any right to arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
15.4 You hereby waive, on behalf of yourself and your End Users, any right to pursue legal relief on a classwide or representative basis, including in any class arbitration.
