ALL PROGRAMS, SUPPLIES, ITEMS, SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT PROVIDED OR ARRANGED FOR BY US ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”.

You expressly agree that you shall not, directly or indirectly, during the period of your registration/participation and for a period of one (1) year after the effective date of cancellation thereof other than on behalf of yourself only: (i) operate, manage, market, own or have any financial or contractual relationship in or with any website or mobile software application (app) that serves as a search engine and/or scheduling system for, whether alone or in combination with any of the following, clinical laboratories, patient service centers and/or diagnostic radiology practices and facilities, or (ii) purchase, use, perform, or agree to perform, any services for any third party that develops, promotes, sells, licenses, distributes, or provides services, or has plans to do any of the foregoing, that would compete directly with the technology or functionality being marketed, sold, licensed, distributed, provided or otherwise made available by us to you and to patients in the Program and website. This Section 10 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Non-Disparagement

At all times during the term of this Agreement and following its expiration or termination for any reason, the parties agree to not, directly or indirectly, in public or private, whether in oral, written, electronic or other format, disparage, deprecate, impugn or otherwise make any statements or remarks that would tend to or be construed to defame or slander the personal or professional reputations, professional qualifications, services, website/application, Program, functionality and/or business of the other party, including its owner(s), parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and/or its/his/her/their owners, independent contractors, employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents and/or successors and/or clients/licensees/subscribers, nor shall such party in any manner assist or encourage any third party in doing so. This shall not prohibit the making of claims and the enforcement of rights and remedies arising under this Agreement, testifying truthfully under oath, nor shall it or any other provision in this Agreement prohibit or preclude cooperation with investigations or inquiries by governmental authorities. This Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Remedies

In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants herein, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the party may have at law and in equity which shall be cumulative and not alternative, such party shall further be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief (including a temporary and permanent injunction, without the requirement of the posting of a bond) as may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the other party (and their respective owners, affiliates and successors) from any violation or continued violation of such covenant. The affected party shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the covenant. Accordingly, the covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified herein, computed from the date the relief is granted, but reduced by the time between the period when the covenant began to run and the date of the first violation of the covenant. If any restriction or any other provision contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or scope thereof, or otherwise, then the court making such determination shall reduce such extent, duration, scope or other provision hereof, and in its reduced form, such restriction or provision shall then be enforceable in the manner contemplated hereby. This Section 12 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Prior Authorization Program

As a LabFinder user, you can enjoy the benefit of prior authorization services offered by LabFinder. We do, however, retain the right to terminate your participation in this program at any time, for any or no reason. “Prior authorization” means any practice implemented by a carrier or payor in which coverage of a health care service is dependent upon a covered person or a health care practitioner obtaining approval prior to the service being performed. In rendering the services, LabFinder is relying solely on information provided by the patient and/or ordering and/or rendering healthcare providers and suppliers, including you, and does not represent or warrant that it will take steps to verify the information provided to it for the conduct of the services hereunder. As such, LabFinder cannot guaranty the accuracy, current state of the information, or completeness of the information at the time of the request for authorization. LabFinder does not conduct utilization review or make any determination or assessment of medical necessity. You are solely responsible for all determinations of medical necessity for any order you provide a patient, and for the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide to us. LabFinder will not be liable for any damages of any nature attributable to your participation in this program, including with respect to any allegation or audit disputing medical necessity and/or with respect to allegations or findings of violation of law, regulation and/or payor requirements as attributable to this program and the services being rendered hereunder. You acknowledge that prior authorizations are not a guaranty of verification of patient eligibility under the applicable carrier/payor plan. Carriers and other payors retain the right to review the medical necessity of services, eligibility for services, and benefit limitations and exclusions even after a patient receives the services. The limitation of liability under this Section 13 shall survive termination of services under the program and termination of this Agreement.

Miscellaneous

We may amend this agreement at any time, and you will be required to accept or otherwise acknowledge your agreement to the changes in order to maintain your access to our services. If you fail to acknowledge your acceptance of any such change then your access will expire immediately or at any time thereafter at our option. Notices hereunder may be given by e-mail to the registered contact of the party (deemed given immediately), by overnight mail to the party’s last known principal address (deemed delivered the next day), or first class mail to such address (deemed given three days later). The Agreement is not assignable by you without our written consent, though we may delegate our rights and obligations and assign this Agreement to any transferee, assignee or successor to our business or assets to which this Agreement relates. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held to be legally invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected unless the invalid provision substantially impairs the benefits of the remaining portions of this Agreement to the other party. Any consent or waiver executed in writing by a party shall be binding upon such party from and after the date of execution thereof unless a later or earlier date is specified therein. Any delay or failure to exercise any remedy or right under this Agreement (whether a default exists or not) shall not be construed as a waiver of such remedy or right, or an acquiescence in such default, nor shall it affect any subsequent default of the same or a different nature. Any reference to termination herein shall similarly apply to expiration, non-renewal or cancellation of access. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of law provisions. Each party hereby agrees and consents that any legal action or proceedings with respect to this Agreement shall only be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each such party hereby (i) accepts the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; (ii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue set forth above; and (iii) further waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereby acknowledges personal jurisdiction in New York for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding any other rights a party may have under law or equity, any cause of action you may have arising out of or related to this Agreement must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises. Otherwise, the cause of action is permanently barred. In the event that any party brings litigation at law or in equity arising out of this Agreement, if we are the substantially prevailing party, then we shall be entitled to all expenses incurred, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, collection and court costs incurred in and leading up to such proceeding, and the costs of collection on any judgment. Any provision of this Agreement which by its express terms or by reasonable implication must survive expiration or termination in order to be effectuated shall so survive expiration or termination.
