(“we”) provide access to and use of our integrated online platform for teletherapy providers known in the marketplace as LEXERCISE® (including the Website (as defined below) and all functionality, software, content and services made available thereon, the “Platform”) to: (i) registered teletherapy groups (“Therapy Groups”) pursuant to a written agreement (the “Therapy Group Terms of Service”) between us and the Therapy Group, and (ii) certain course takers accessing our LEXERCISE® Professional Education materials (a “Course Taker”) pursuant to our Professional Education Terms of Service (the “Professional Education Terms of Service”) online at https://www.lexercise.com/about/legal/professional-education-terms-of-service. “You” are either (x) an individual therapist being permitted to access and use the Platform on behalf of a Therapist Group subject and pursuant to the Therapy Group Terms of Service (such persons described in clause (x), the “Therapists”), or (y) an individual Course Taker being permitted to access and use the Platform on your own behalf (such persons described in clauses (x) and (y), collectively, the “Individual Therapists”). In either event, this Individual Therapist Terms of Use (this “Agreement”) is an additional binding legal agreement between you and us governing your access to and use of the Platform, personally.

Minimum Qualifications to Participate. Your access to and use of the Platform as an Individual Therapist is subject to our efforts to vet and to validate the qualifications of Individual Therapists who wish to register for and use the Platform.

Service-Quality Standards. You must provide all teletherapy, instructional and related services to Clients in accordance with the following “Service-Quality Standards” at a minimum: (A) all services must be performed in a timely, diligent, professional and workmanlike manner, consistent with prevailing best practices and industry standards for such services, using appropriately-qualified (and, where applicable, licensed) personnel, and (B) in connection with performing any services for Clients you must at a minimum acknowledge receipt of (and use best efforts to respond to) all inquiries and requests from Clients within one business day of receiving such inquiries or requests.

Each individual accessing the Platform from anywhere outside of the United States is required to refer to our additional “International User Privacy Disclosure” http://www.lexercise.com/about/legal/privacy-international-users and to click “I AGREE” when the option is presented to you before you will be permitted to provide your personal information to us via the Platform. No Express or Implied Right to Work with Clients. Nothing in this Agreement or otherwise shall create any obligation for us to introduce you to any Clients or ensure or guarantee any minimum number of Clients for you to work with via the Platform. From time to time we may choose, in our sole and absolute discretion, to introduce you to Clients via the Platform, but our choice to do so in a particular instance does not create any express or implied obligation to continue doing so at any time in the future. Use of Video-Conferencing Software. Video-conference teletherapy sessions should take place using a software of the your choosing, with many often using ZoomTM for such purposes. It is your responsibility to pay for and comply with the terms of use of such software.

  10. give the impression that they emanate from or are endorsed by us or any other person or entity, if this is not the case; or
  11. have the purpose of exploiting, harming or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way by exposing them to inappropriate content.
The requirements for all posts described in this Section shall be referred to herein as the “Content Standards.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that we do not undertake to review all material before it is posted on the Platform, and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications or content provided by you, any user or any third party. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section. Interactions Outside the Platform We consider our lists of Clients seeking teletherapy, instructional and related services to be our non-public, confidential and trade secret information. We provide access to these lists and otherwise facilitate interactions between Clients and Individual Therapists through the Platform as a service to Clients, in exchange for the service fees that Clients pay to us. If an Individual Therapist were to access these lists and use them to engage in transactions outside of the Platform, or if a Client and an Individual Therapist were introduced to one another through initial interactions through the Platform only to engage in future transactions together directly and not through the Platform, then this would cause us to lose the “benefit of the bargain” of providing our Platform and related services. Therefore, you agree that you may not, during the period of time in which you have an account on the Platform and for one year thereafter, directly or indirectly, except with our prior express written consent: (i) enter into a transaction with a Client whose information you first obtained through access to the Platform (the “Introduced Party”) that is similar to, in competition with, or which otherwise could have the effect of preventing us from receiving the full benefit of, the transactions contemplated by our Client Terms of Service, (ii) solicit the Introduced Party to enter into such transaction, or (iii) induce, solicit, procure, or otherwise encourage your (or your subsidiary’s or affiliate’s) employees, contractors, agents or representatives, or respond to any solicitation from any of the same, to enter into any such transaction. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, Individual Therapists may not (i) list on the Platform any services to be performed and then arrange for such services to be provided and/or paid for outside of the Platform, or (ii) refer to, market or promote their personal websites, services, or other businesses outside of the Platform. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Individual Therapists are permitted to move off of the Platform entirely their teletherapy and instructional sessions with any User so long as (A) in the Individual Therapist’s reasonable professional opinion, the User’s therapy and instruction would proceed substantially more effectively outside of the Platform than inside of it, (B) such movement off of the Platform is not being carried out, in whole or in part, to avoid payment of the Platform’s services fees, and (C) no instructional materials, interactive learning features, or other Platform materials, videos or content are used in such off-Platform therapy. Important Disclaimers; Release Reliance on Information Posted. The information presented on or through the Platform is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of this information, and any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.

Facilitation Tool. The Platform is a communications, payment and workflow management facilitation tool that enables connections between Clients, Individual Therapists and (where applicable) Therapy Groups. We do not take part in the interactions between Clients (on the one hand) and Individual Therapists and Therapy Groups (on the other) or between Individual Therapists and Therapy Groups. We are not responsible for such interactions. You are solely responsible for such interactions. Our business is solely the provision of the content and services made available to registered users of the Platform. We are not a party to any relationship or contract between Clients (on the one hand) and Individual Therapists and Therapy Groups (on the other) or between Individual Therapists and Therapy Groups, except for our role as the limited authorized agent acting on behalf of the applicable Therapy Group for the purpose of accepting payments from Clients on behalf of the applicable Therapy Group and transmitting such payments to the applicable Therapy Group and (in some cases) onward to Individual Therapists. We are not responsible for any such contracts or proposals that you may upload to the Platform other than making such contracts or proposals available for review and signature (including e-signature) as authorized by you. All such dealings are solely between the respective parties. Disputes. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ONE OR MORE CLIENTS OR ONE OR MORE THERAPY GROUPS, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE US (AND ALL OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, AGENTS, INVESTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, AND EMPLOYEES) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES (ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. Links to Other Sites. If the Platform contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

NEITHER WE NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH US MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY OR AVAILABILITY OF THE PLATFORM.

We are not granting you any right, license or authorization with respect to the Platform except as we’ve expressly provided this Agreement. We reserve all other rights in and to the Platform. User Contributions The Platform may contain message boards, chat functions, personal web pages or profiles, forums, bulletin boards and other interactive features that allow you and other users to post, submit, publish, display or transmit to other users or other persons content or materials (collectively, “User Contributions”) on or through the Platform. You must own or control all rights in and to your User Contributions, and all of your User Contributions must comply with the Content Standards set out in this Agreement. Any User Contribution you post to the Platform will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Platform, you grant us and our service providers the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose. You understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for any User Contributions you submit or contribute and that you have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy and appropriateness. We are not responsible for the content or accuracy of any User Contributions posted by you or any other user of the Platform. Suspension of Access We may suspend or deny your access to or use of all or any part of the Platform without any liability to you or others, if (i) we are required to do so by law or court order, (ii) you have accessed or used the Platform in violation of this Agreement, (iii) you have been involved in any fraudulent, misleading or unlawful activities relating to or in connection with the Platform or your interactions with Clients, or (iv) you have otherwise failed to comply with this Agreement. Our remedies in this Section are in addition to, and not in lieu of, our termination rights described below in the section titled “Termination” or any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. Termination This Agreement is effective until terminated by us or by you. Your rights under this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically without any notice to you (i) if you fail to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) if you are a Therapist and we have terminated the Therapy Group Terms of Service with the Therapy Group with which you are associated, or (iii) if you are a Course Taker and either (A) the course with which you were using the Platform has concluded, or (B) we have otherwise terminated the Professional Education Terms of Service with you.  You may terminate this Agreement by deleting your account on the Platform and ceasing all access to and use of the Platform. We may also terminate this Agreement at any time without notice, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, if we cease to support the Platform, which we may do in our sole discretion. Upon termination, all rights granted to you under this Agreement will also terminate and you must cease all access to and use of the Platform. Termination will not limit any of our rights or remedies at law or in equity. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, we reserve the right to deactivate and terminate your account on the Platform if you have not been actively using the Platform for six months or more, as determined in our discretion. This would include, for example, if you have not served any Clients on the Platform for a period of six months or more.

Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
