This Independent Contractor Agreement for Health Care Providers ("Contractor Agreement") is made between You ("Provider") and Orthobrain, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Orthobrain"), individually designated as "Party" and collectively "Parties." You accept all of the terms and conditions that are set forth in this Contractor Agreement by either clicking through this Contractor Agreement or by communicating patient information through the Orthobrain website.

WHEREAS, Provider seeks the benefit of Orthobrain’s professional services and products (“Services”); and

WHEREAS, Orthobrain wishes to provide Services to Provider.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the Parties agree as follows, and Provider accepts and agrees to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein by indicating electronically his or her acceptance:

1. Independent Contractor. Orthobrain agrees to provide the Services described herein as an independent contractor. It is mutually understood and agreed that Orthobrain is at all times acting and performing these duties and functions in the capacity of an independent contractor; that Provider shall neither have nor exercise any control or direction over the methods by which Orthobrain performs Orthobrain's Services, nor shall Provider and Orthobrain be deemed partners. Provider shall have the right to determine what Services shall be provided, but not the manner in which Services shall be provided. Provider and Orthobrain recognize that Provider remains the sole treating doctor in all regards for all patients and, thus, after receiving any products or Services from Orthobrain Provider is free to alter those products and Services in accordance with the needs of Provider's patients or customers. It is expressly agreed by the Parties hereto that no work, act, commission, or omission by Orthobrain pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Contractor Agreement shall be construed to make or render Orthobrain the agent, employee, or servant of the Provider. The Parties also expressly agree that no work, act, commission, or omission by Provider shall be construed to make or render Provider the agent, employee, or servant of Orthobrain. Each Party shall be responsible for the payment of its own federal, state, and/or local taxes incurred as a result of this Contractor Agreement.

2. Services. Orthobrain agrees to provide the following professional health care Services (and only the following professional healthcare services) as requested by Provider: (a) diagnosis based on the completeness and accuracy of the information that You provide to Orthobrain; (b) treatment plan for orthodontics based on the information that You provide to Orthobrain; and (c) if requested, then orthodontic appliances. Orthobrain agrees to perform such Services, at all times, in strict accordance with currently approved and accepted methods and practices in the profession. Orthobrain further agrees to provide Services in a professional, timely, and competent manner. After receiving any products or Services from Orthobrain, Provider is free to alter those products and Services in accordance with the needs of Provider's patients or customers. Orthobrain shall provide such information as Provider may reasonably request related to Services.

3. Licensure and Professional Liability Insurance. As a condition of this Contractor Agreement, Provider shall maintain all applicable licenses and certification requirements and shall at all times during the term of this Contractor Agreement, meet all requirements of the State in which Provider resides or is located, and meet all requirements of other regulatory entities for such licensing, certification, or credentialing. Provider shall maintain in force throughout the term of this Contractor Agreement such policies of professional liability insurance as shall be required to qualify Provider for coverage under his or her state's Medical Malpractice Act or equivalent thereof (the "Act"), but in no event will Provider be covered for less than a million dollars (US$1,000,000.00) per occurrence. Provider shall indemnify and hold Orthobrain harmless from and against any claim or claims for damage arising by reason of Provider’s use of Orthobrain’s Services, including, without limitation, personal injuries or death occasioned directly or indirectly in connection with the performance of any service provided hereunder in such amount as shall be required from time to time under the Act. Provider shall demonstrate proof of such insurance coverage by providing Orthobrain with a current certificate of insurance, which shows the applicable policy number, date of expiration, and name of the insurance carrier. Orthobrain shall be named as an additional insured or, at Orthobrain’s option, a co-insured on such liability insurance. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration and/or termination of this Contractor Agreement.

4. Representations of Provider. Provider represents and warrants that the following are true (if applicable): (a) Provider's license or certification in any state has never been suspended, revoked, restricted, or deemed to be probationary; (b) Provider has never been reprimanded, sanctioned, or disciplined by any licensing or accrediting board; (c) There has never been entered against Provider a final judgment in a professional liability action and no action, based on an allegation of professional liability or malpractice by the Provider has ever been settled by payment to the plaintiff; (d) Provider has never been denied membership or reappointment of membership on the medical staff of any hospital, and no clinical privileges of the Provider have ever been suspended, curtailed, or revoked; and (e) As of the date hereof, Provider has not been the subject of any report or disclosure submitted to the National Practitioner Data Bank.

5. Contract Rate. Orthobrain shall be compensated for Services performed under this Contractor Agreement as set forth in the order confirmation page when You confirm your order with Orthobrain and click your acceptance to this Contractor Agreement.

6. Billing. Orthobrain shall invoice Provider electronically or by other means. The order confirmation page shall also serve as your invoice. By indicating your acceptance of your order, you are authorizing payment to Orthobrain. ALL INVOICES MUST BE PAID TO ORTHOBRAIN WITHIN 30 DAYS. ORTHOBRAIN WILL CHARGE INTEREST AT THE LESSER OF (I) 3% PER MONTH; OR (II) THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FOR ANY BALANCE OVER 30 DAYS OLD.

7. Compliance with Laws. Provider agrees to comply with all federal and state laws or regulations applicable to the Services to be provided under this Contractor Agreement. The Parties further agree that they will protect and secure the privacy and confidentiality of patient information and will comply with the requirements contained in the Business Associate Addendum, which is set forth below.

8. Debarment. Provider represents and warrants that Provider has never been sanctioned by the Office of Inspector General ("OIG") of the Department of Health and Human Services, barred from federal or state procurement programs, or convicted of a criminal offense with respect to health care reimbursement. Provider shall notify Orthobrain immediately if the foregoing representation becomes untrue, or if Provider is notified by the OIG or other enforcement agencies that an investigation has begun which could lead to such sanction, debarment, or conviction.

9. Confidentiality. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all Services provided, and information exchanged under this Contractor Agreement shall be kept confidential and that neither Party shall disclose matters related to this Contractor Agreement without the express written consent of the other Party, unless required to disclose such information by statute, regulation or court order. In addition, during the term of this Contractor Agreement, each of the Parties hereto may receive intentionally or unintentionally certain proprietary and confidential information (which may include confidential medical information and records) not otherwise a part of public domain through no fault of a Party hereto ("Proprietary Information"), the disclosure of which would be extremely detrimental to the business affairs of the other. Therefore, each of the Parties hereto (for itself and its employees, agents and representatives) agrees to keep the Proprietary Information of the other in the strictest confidence and each agrees not to duplicate any Proprietary Information of the other and not to directly or indirectly divulge, disclose, reveal, report or transfer such Proprietary Information without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Contractor Agreement to the contrary, if Provider is requested or required (by oral questions or request for information or documents in court or administrative proceedings, interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or similar court or administrative agency process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Provider will promptly notify Orthobrain of such request or requirement prior to any disclosure of the Confidential Information so that Orthobrain may seek an appropriate protective order and/or consider the possible waiver of Provider’s compliance with this Contractor Agreement. However, if in the opinion of Provider’s counsel, Provider is required by law or regulation to disclose the requested information prior to notice to Orthobrain or prior to receipt of Orthobrain’s agreement of waiver, Provider may make such disclosure of such information (and only such information) without liability to Orthobrain.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Contractor Agreement.

10. Indemnity. Provider shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Orthobrain and its respective employees, directors, and agents ("Indemnitees") from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, penalties, fines, demands, liabilities, legal actions, judgments, and expenses of every kind (including reasonable attorney’s fees, including at trial and on appeal) asserted or imposed against any Indemnitees arising out of the acts or omissions of Provider or any subcontractor of or consultant of Provider or any of Provider's employees, directors, or agents related to the performance or nonperformance of this Contractor Agreement.

11. Term. This Contractor Agreement shall be effective beginning when Provider indicates acceptance of this Contractor Agreement.

12. Termination. Either Party may terminate this Contractor Agreement by providing thirty (30) days prior, written notice to the other Party, or by mutual assent of the Parties in writing. Either Party may terminate this Contractor Agreement immediately as a result of a breach of any of the provisions or terms of this Contractor Agreement by the other Party if the breaching Party fails, after ten (10) days written notice, to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching Party. Orthobrain may terminate this Contractor Agreement immediately if any of the representations of Provider in paragraphs 3, 4 or 8 of this Contractor Agreement become untrue. Provider is oligated to pay for any and all Services up to and including the date of termination. From and after the termination of this Contractor Agreement, Provider shall immediately discontinue any and all representations or implications that it continues to be a provider for or otherwise affiliated in any way with, Orthobrain.

13. Notice. Any notice required to be provided to any Party to this Contractor Agreement shall be considered effective as of the date that it is emailed to the other Party. For any notice sent to Orthobrain, Provider shall send the notice by email to notice@yourOrthobrain.com. For any notice sent to Provider, Orthobrain shall send the notice by email to the email address that Provider has designated in the account that Provider has established with Orthobrain. A copy of Provider’s notice to Orthobrain shall be provided to: Craig A. Hairston, Esq., 3401 Enterprise Parkway, Suite 400, Cleveland, Ohio 44122.

14. Governing Law and Venue. The validity, construction and effect of this Contractor Agreement, and all extensions and modifications thereof, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to its choice of law rules, and the Court of Common Pleas forCuyahoga County, Ohio, shall be the exclusive venue for any suit, litigation or alternative dispute resolution brought pursuant to this Contractor Agreement. If Orthobrain is required to file suit for injunctive relief or, to recover payment of any invoice, Orthobrain shall be entitled to recover its costs including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in any such suit. Provider hereby consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in such court with respect to any such proceeding.

15. Medical Records. Provider agrees to complete all required charting in the medical record in a prompt and timely manner. The ownership and right of control of all reports, records, and supporting documents prepared in connection with the Services contemplated herein shall vest exclusively with Provider and shall remain, at all times, at the clinic where Services are provided; provided, however, that Orthobrain shall have such right of access to such reports, records, and supporting documentation as necessary for the provision of professional Services hereunder. Orthobrain shall also have the right to maintain a copy of all reports, records, and supporting documents for archival purposes.

16. No Assignment. Provider understands that, from time to time, Orthobrain may enlist consultants or other independent contractors in providing professional Services to Provider under this Contractor Agreement. Apart from this, neither this Contractor Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party.

17. Non-Solicitation. Provider understands and agrees that Orthobrain expends significant time and resources to train consultants, other independent contractors, or employees that, from time to time, provide professional Services for Orthobrain. Consequently, during the term of this Contractor Agreement and for a period of one (1) year immediately following completion of Services provided by Orthobrain under this Contractor Agreement, Provider agrees that Provider will not solicit or hire any employee, consultant, or other independent contractor of Orthobrain. Provider further agrees that Provider shall not induce any employee, consultant, or other independent contractor of Orthobrain to terminate employment with Orthobrain or terminate or breach any contractual relationship between Orthobrain and the employee, consultant, or other independent contractor of Orthobrain. Because the value of the time and resources to train employees, consultants, or other independent contractors is difficult to quantify, if Provider breaches this Non-Solicitation provision of this Contractor Agreement, then Provider agrees to pay liquidated damages of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) to Orthobrain, which Provider agrees is a reasonable amount to compensate Orthobrain for its damages (not as a penalty). Provider hereby acknowledges and agrees that Orthobrain's remedy at law for any breach of any of Provider's obligations under this Paragraph would be inadequate, and Provider agrees and consents that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce any provision of this Paragraph, without the necessity of proof of actual damages, it being acknowledged by Provider that any such breach would cause irreparable injury to Orthobrain.

18. Entire Contractor Agreement. This Contractor Agreement, along with the Agreement for Use of Orthobrain Website ("Website Agreement"), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the matters contained herein, and supersedes any and all other discussions, statements, and understandings regarding such matters. To the extent that any provision of this Contractor Agreement irreconcilably conflicts with the Website Agreement, the provisions of the Website Agreement shall control. This Contractor Agreement shall be amended only upon the execution of a written agreement by both Parties hereto. A publication of a revised Contractor Agreement and Provider's indication of acceptance shall be considered an execution of a written agreement. Any attempt to amend or modify this Contractor Agreement in any manner other than by written instrument executed by the Parties shall be void.

19. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this Contractor Agreement is intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any person other than the Parties and the respective successors or permitted assigns of the Parties, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities whatsoever.

20. Miscellaneous: (a) If any provision of this Contractor Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way, and any invalid, void, or unenforceable provision shall be replaced to the maximum extent permitted by law with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision; and (b) Each Party to this Contractor Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by either Party, or anyone acting on behalf of either Party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other arrangement, statement or promise not contained in this Contractor Agreement shall be valid or binding.
