1. Introduction
These Therapia Terms of Service for Therapists (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Therapia Health Management Inc. (“Therapia”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) website (“Site”) and related services (“Services” and both the “Site” and “Services” will be collectively referred to as “Offerings”) and are between you and Therapia only, so please carefully read them before using the Offerings. Our Offerings allow you, a physiotherapist in the health services industry (“Therapist or “Therapists”), to promote, market, and sell your physiotherapy services (“Your Services”) to individuals who access and/or use our Offerings (“Patients”) to book appointments with Therapists. Should you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at info@therapia.com.
By using the Offerings to promote, market, and sell Your Services or by clicking the appropriate acceptance button, you are indicating you are agreeing to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are agreeing to the Terms on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for the organization and promising that you have the authority to bind the organization to these Terms. Accordingly, “you” and “your” will refer to you, or the organization, if applicable.
You may use the Offerings as a Therapist only in compliance with these Terms. If you also access or use the Offerings as a Patient, then by doing so you agree that the Therapia Terms of Service for Patients apply to you in that context. You may use the Offerings only if you have the power to form a contract with Therapia and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so. We may update or upgrade the Offerings over time as we refine and add more features. You understand that we are not obligated to provide you or make available any updates or upgrades to the Offerings. We may stop, suspend, or modify the Offerings at any time without prior notice to you. We may also remove any features and content from our Offerings at our discretion. We will provide to you standard Therapia basic email support services from 9am ET to 5pm ET Monday to Friday (except where any such days occur on any provincial or federal statutory holiday observed in the Province of Ontario, Canada) at no additional charge, and/or upgraded support if commercially available and purchased separately from us.

7. Appointments
Patients use the Offerings to discover your availability and book appointments for Your Services. While we cannot control Patients ability to be on time for appointments or to attend scheduled appointments, we do want to hear from you when Patients are late for appointments or do not attend scheduled appointments. If a Patient is late for an appointment, you must allow a minimum of 15 minutes before notifying us about a missed appointment by a Patient which will trigger the processing of payment for the unattended appointment. WE HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR PATIENTS BEING LATE FOR APPOINTMENTS, NOT ATTENDING SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS, OR CANCELLING APPOINTMENTS. If you are late for an appointment, do not attend an appointment, or cancel a scheduled appointment with a Patient, we may impose consequences and remedies, including (i) posting a notice or review on your Profile indicating that you were late for an appointment, did not attend an appointment, or cancelled a scheduled appointment; or (ii) keeping the calendar in your Profile unavailable or blocking dates and times around the late, unattended, or cancelled appointment until we hear from you, understand the circumstances, and believe the circumstances are resolved. You will be notified when such a cancellation fee will be applied. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel an appointment made via the Offerings.
8. Term
The term of these Terms will commence on the date you agree to these Terms, or if earlier, when you use any of the Offerings and will continue until either you or us terminates the Terms (“Term”).
9. Fees
Currently there is ten dollar (CAD) per month subscription fee to sign up as a Therapist and to use the Offerings. We reserve the right on 30 days’ notice to you to introduce a change on the subscription fee to use of the Offerings. If we introduce such charges, we shall notify you in advance. You can elect to continue using the Offerings or terminate your use of the Offerings. During the Term, you will pay us transaction fees (“Fees”) that are a percentage of the amounts that you charge for providing Your Services to Patients who book their appointments (or otherwise connect with you) by means of the Offerings. The percentage of Fees that you will pay us will be set out on the Site. For such Patients, you agree that all appointments and charges of fees will be processed through the Offerings. We will provide notice to you of the amount of the Fees, including any changes to the Fees from time to time. We may change the amount of the sign-up fee, Offerings usage fee, and the Fees at any time (and from time to time) on 30 days’ written notice.
You agree that for appointments in which you provide Your Services, you will enter notes and save these notes after each appointment which will then trigger a third party to charge your Patient’s method of payment that is permitted by the Offerings and the Patient will be notified of the payment. We will pay you three (3) weekly pay periods in arrears via your online payment account. More specifically, each pay period is one (1) week long starting on Mondays and ending on Sundays. On the Sunday after each weekly pay period (that is, seven (7) days after each weekly pay period), the Offerings will create a corresponding invoice from you or your business to Therapia showing your portion of the Services Fees (that is, the Services Fees (as defined in Section 10 below) paid by your Patients less the amount of our Fees and the amount of relevant tax on our Fees) that we owe you. We will pay your portion of the Services Fees after retaining the Fees and relevant tax amount on the Fees fifteen (15) days after the end of each weekly pay period. Most banks will post received funds on the same day as they are received, but on occasion, banks may take two to three (2-3) additional days to post funds so your portion of the Services Fees may not deposited into your account immediately. As an example, if the weekly pay period is Monday, April 25th, 2016 to Sunday, May 1st 2016, Therapia will send you an invoice for that weekly pay period on Sunday, May 8th, 2016, and we will pay you your portion of the Services Fees (after retaining the Fees and relevant tax amount on the Fees for Services Fees) we collected as your payment collection agent between the dates of Monday, April 25th, 2016 to Sunday, May 1st, 2016 (inclusive) on Monday, May 16th, 2016 and the funds will appear in your bank account on Monday, May 16th, 2016 or within two to three (2-3) days of Monday, May 16th, 2016 depending on when the bank posts the funds. The invoices generated by the Offerings will be available to you through the Offerings. You agree to receive your portion of the Services Fees less the Fees payable to us and applicable taxes on the Fees.
10. Appointment of Payment Collection Agent
Payment processing services for you on our Offerings is provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms or continuing to use the Offerings, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of our enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide us with accurate and complete information about you, and you authorize us to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe. You hereby appoint us as your payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the fees for the provision of Your Services to Patients booked through the Offerings (“Services Fees”). You agree that payments made by Patients through the Offerings, including through a payment processor used by us to facilitate payment, shall be considered the same as payment made directly to you and you will make Your Services available to Patients in the agreed-upon manner as if you had received the Services Fees directly. You agree that we may permit Patients to cancel appointments without charge if they notify you via the Offerings of the cancellation more than one (1) business day (a full 24 hours of a business day (“business days” are Monday to Sunday except for those days that are provincial or federal statutory holidays in the Province of Ontario)) in advance of the appointment. Patients who cancel appointments less than 24 hours in advance of the appointment or do not attend an appointment, will be charged the full amount of the Services Fees. You understand that we accept payments from Patients only as your payment collection agent and that our obligation to pay you is subject to and conditional upon receipt of the Services Fees from Patients. We do not guarantee payments to you for Services Fees we do not receive from Patients. In accepting appointment as your payment collection agent, we assume no liability for any acts or omissions by you.
11. Subcontracting of Therapist Services
Therapia will act as an agent on behalf of the Therapists using the offerings and may enter into agreement with third parties (individuals or companies) to sell your services as a subcontractor for those third parties. Therapia will act on your behalf to bill the third party directly for your physiotherapy services at the fee schedule agreed upon by Therapia and the third party. Therapists will retain the same amount of money per appointment as they would had they provided their services to any other patient on the offerings. The patient will be billed directly by the third party for an amount agreed upon between the third party and patient. Therapia will charge a commission for its role as the agent of these transactions in an amount that does not exceed our usual commission, and allows the therapist to retain their customary fee for the appointments delivered. When subcontracting services on behalf of therapists, therapia will act as the billing agent for all parties involved.
12. Non-Soliciation
You understand that Therapia spends significant resources acquiring new patients, and with this in mind, agree that during your time working with Therapia and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after such relationship ends, you will not, directly or indirectly, whether on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, provide physiotherapy services to any patients introduced to you by Therapia, one of its partners or subsidiaries outside of the Therapia platform. If you are found to have done this, you understand that you will be charged $500, which will be applied to the credit card you have on file with Therapia. You also understand that my Therapia account will be deactivated.
13. Taxes
The determination of the amount of tax, if any, to charge a Patient is your sole responsibility and we will not be liable for any errors in the amount of tax charged to Patients. We will collect taxes, if any, as your payment collection agent from Patients and remit these funds to you. You are legally required to remit the tax, if any, to applicable governments.
14. Termination
Though we would much rather you stay, you can stop using our Offerings and we can terminate the Terms and your access and use of the Offerings at any time, without penalty, with or without cause, and with or without notice. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or end all or any part of the Offerings at any time, without penalty, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination of the Terms, you agree to cease accessing and using the Offerings.
15. Therapia is Available “AS-IS”
Though we want to provide great Offerings and we use a hosting service provider which runs and provides our storage space for our Offerings, there are certain things about the Offerings we can’t promise. For example, THE OFFERINGS, YOUR CONTENT, PATIENT CONTENT, MATERIALS, AND THIRD PARTY MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE”, AT YOUR OWN RISK, WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY AND APPROPRIATENESS OF YOUR CONTENT. WE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INACCURATE INFORMATION AND ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY SUCH INACCURACIES.

We will have no responsibility for any harm to your computer system, loss or corruption of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Offerings, Your Content, Patient Content, Materials, or Third Party Materials. Some jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.
NEITHER THERAPIA NOR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, PARTNERS, OR AFFILIATES WARRANT THAT THE OFFERINGS, YOUR CONTENT, PATIENT CONTENT, MATERIALS, THIRD PARTY MATERIALS, OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS SENT TO OR FROM THE OFFERINGS OR US ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not apply to you.
17. Indemnification
You shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend us, our affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, successors, assigns, third party providers, licensors, and suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and representatives (collectively “Indemnified Parties” and each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liability, loss, claim, damages, expense, or costs (including but not limited to lawyers’ fees), incurred by or made against the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising from or related to (i) your access and use (or the access and use by anyone through your account) of the Offerings, Materials, or Third Party Materials; (ii) Your Content and the Patient Data; (iii) the appointments, uses, or provision of Your Services; (iv) your interaction with any Patient; (v) any tax you are legally required to pay to applicable governments; and (vi) any breach or violation of these Terms by you or anyone utilizing your account.

19. No Exclusivity
You acknowledge that we make our Offerings available to an unlimited number of Therapists and some of these Therapists may be your competitors.
20. Modifications
We may revise these Terms from time to time and by providing you with reasonable notice of the change either electronically or by posting notice of the change on the Site and by indicating your acceptance to the amended Terms of Service by clicking on the appropriate button, you accept the new Terms of Service. Any changes will be effective only after the effective date of the change and will not affect any dispute arising prior to the effective date of the change. The most current version of the Terms of Service will always be posted on the Site. If you have an account with us, we may (but are not required to) provide you with notice via the email address that we have on file for you that we have changed these Terms. As you know, sometimes there are issues with email communication. We are not responsible if any email notice gets caught by your email filters and you do not see it, if you have given us the wrong email address (or failed to update your address) or if there are other communications issues that prevent email from reaching you. If you do not agree to the new Terms of Service, please stop accessing and using the Offerings.
We may also, in the future, offer updates, upgrades, or services through the Offerings. Any new updates, upgrades, or services will be subject to these Terms and any additional terms that accompany such new updates, upgrades, or services.
21. Miscellaneous Legal Terms
These Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada. The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to these Terms and agree that any proceeding must be brought in and remain in the courts located in the City of Toronto, Ontario. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Therapia with respect to the Offerings, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Offerings. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Therapia’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Therapia may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or as part of a sale of all or part of the business or undertaking of Therapia. A printed version of these Terms and of any related notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You shall perform Your Services as an independent contractor, and nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed to create or imply a joint venture, partnership, principal-agent, or employment relationship between the Therapia and you. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of these Terms for any reason, Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 of these Terms shall survive any such termination or expiration.
