- HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
To be a healthcare provider using the Site (“Provider”) you must agree to comply with all laws, medical or other board rules, or other rules and regulations applicable to you as a healthcare provider or other professional using the Site. Your relationship with your patients/clients is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with Optimed. Optimed does not practice medicine or any other licensed profession and offers no medical or other professional services. You, the Provider are solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider is solely responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, and Optimed shall have no liability whatsoever to Provider concerning any amounts owed by any patient or other consumers to Provider. - INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION
The Provider will use the Site and Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good professional practice. While software products such as the Site and Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that Provider and its personnel offer to patients, many factors, including the provider/patient relationship can affect a patient 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 they affected an outcome. Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients. In this regard, Provider releases Optimed and waives all potential claims against Optimed as a result of the Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients. As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Optimed harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of Provider or its personnel, 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 patient, which is brought against Optimed, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of the use or operation of the Site and Services. To the extent applicable, Provider will obtain Optimed’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Provider agrees to or which otherwise provides or implies any finding of fault of Optimed or any defect in the Site or Services. Optimed will promptly notify Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Provider with the information reasonably required for the defence of the same, and grant to Provider exclusive control over its defence at Providers expense. Optimed reserves the right to appear and defend any actions in which it is named as a party. Provider agrees to pay and reimburse Optimed’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with such litigation. - SUBSCRIPTION & NON-SUBSCRIPTION ACCOUNTS, PAYMENT & CANCELLATION
