1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
We provide services related to helping nurse practitioners obtain their multistate licenses, including the preparation of applications, processing of verifications, and communication with relevant credentialing authorities and third parties (the "Services"). Users are responsible for providing all necessary information and documents, as well as any equipment or internet access required to utilize these Services. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without notice.
2. USER RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFORMATION AND DEADLINES
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete information and documents necessary for us to perform the Services. You are also responsible for understanding and adhering to the eligibility requirements and deadlines for the licenses you are seeking with our assistance. Failure to provide accurate information or meet deadlines may result in delays or additional fees, for which you are solely responsible. This includes providing any sensitive personal or financial information as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND NO GUARANTEE OF OUTCOME
We do not have the authority to grant any licensure, registration, or credential, and therefore, we will not be liable for the final outcome of your applications. We make no guarantees regarding the timelines or success of any licensure, registration, or credentialing process. Your use of our Services does not guarantee that you will obtain the desired licensure or credential.
4. PAYMENT OF FEES AND NO REFUNDS
You agree to pay all fees associated with the Services. Fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, including but not limited to, if you decide to cancel your application or if your application is denied by the relevant authority. Additional fees may apply if you fail to provide necessary information or documents in a timely manner, requiring further processing or amendments.
5. GOVERNING LAW
These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Ohio for any disputes related to these Legal Terms or the Services.
6. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT CLARIFICATIONS
While we strive to provide timely and efficient service, we cannot guarantee specific response times or processing times for any aspect of the Services. Factors such as the complexity of the application, the responsiveness of third parties, and other variables beyond our control can impact the time required to complete the Services. We are not responsible for delays caused by these factors or any other unforeseen circumstances.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
By using our Services, you agree to adhere to all relevant professional and ethical standards that apply to your profession as a nurse practitioner. This includes, but is not limited to, providing truthful and accurate information, complying with all applicable laws and regulations, and maintaining the integrity of the licensure process. We reserve the right to refuse or terminate our Services if we have reason to believe that you are not in compliance with these standards.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of the Services; (2) your breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) your overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims.
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute related to these Legal Terms or the Services, the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will take place in Ohio. You agree that any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
10. USER CONDUCT
You agree to use the Services in a lawful manner and not engage in any conduct that could harm us, our users, or third parties. Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to, spamming, uploading viruses, attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems, and impersonating others. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you violate these terms.
11. USER GENERATED CONTRIBUTIONS
The Services do not offer users the ability to submit or post content. However, if you do submit content through any feature, you agree that we may use and share such content as described in these Legal Terms. You are responsible for ensuring that any content you submit does not infringe on the rights of others and does not violate any laws.
12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

24. MISCELLANEOUS
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.
