By using the Rehabilitation Professionals Directory, You acknowledge that You have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any new, different, or additional terms or conditions that the Connection may establish from time to time in its sole discretion.
Section 1. Description of the Service. The Directory allows users to obtain information about Rehabilitation Professionals, including speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, audiologists, music therapists and play therapists, within their specific geographical location. Through the Directory Listing Services, the Connection is providing You with an opportunity to list information about your practice, your services, and your contact information, including your domain name or web site (referred to generally in this Agreement as “Advertising Content”) in the Directory.
Section 2. Eligibility. To use the Directory Listing Services, You must be, and represent and warrant that you are, and will continue to be, a licensed Rehabilitation Professional, and not otherwise prohibited from using the Directory Listing Services in accordance with this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, You confirm that You have the necessary qualifications and hold a valid license issued by the applicable governmental licensing agency to represent yourself as the type of Rehabilitation Professional for which You seek to include Advertising Content in the Directory. If You are executing this Agreement on behalf of any third party, You represent that You are an authorized representative of that third party and that your execution of this Agreement constitutes their acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 3. Display of Your Advertising Content. You hereby grant to the Connection a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to download, cache, and store on its servers; use; reproduce; distribute; transmit; perform; and digitally display the Advertising Content (including, without limitation, the trademarks, trade names, service marks and logos set forth therein) in the Directory. You agree that the Advertiser shall bear all responsibility and liability for any and all claims related to the Advertising Content displayed in the Directory. You further agree that the Connection shall have no liability for any claims that arise from any Advertising Content published in the Directory.
Section 4. Your Advertising Content Guidelines. You are subject to this Agreement and any new, different, or additional terms or conditions that the Connection may establish from time to time in its sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that in order for the Connection to maintain the integrity of the Directory, your Advertising Content will be an accurate, complete and honest representation of your credentials, the scope of your practice and your willingness to accept reimbursement from specific insurance providers. All Advertising Content is subject to review and approval by the Connection to determine its eligibility for inclusion in the Directory. The Connection may, in its sole discretion, modify, reject, cancel, or remove, at any time, any Advertising Content from the Directory for any reason (including, but not limited to, technical purposes or inaccuracies in the Advertising Content) without prior notice to the Advertiser. The Connection will not be liable in any way for any modification, rejection, cancellation or removal of any Advertising Content. You represent and warrant that: (a) You have all necessary authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations; (c) that all text, data and information submitted for display as the Advertising Content is true, accurate, and complete; and (d) You will immediately notify the Connection if your Advertising Content needs to be modified to maintain its accuracy, including, but not limited to, any changes in your willingness to accept reimbursement from specific insurance providers.
Section 5. Third Party Advertising. By agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, You grant the Connection the right to place, and generate revenue from, Third Party Advertising (“Advertising”) throughout the Directory. You further acknowledge and agree that any Advertising placed in the Directory may contain advertisements, offers, or links to websites and resources of third parties that the Connection does not control. That information, as well as the advertisements, may or may not be or remain wholly accurate. You acknowledge and agree that the Connection is not responsible or liable for (i) the accuracy of such Advertising; or (ii) the content, advertising, or products and services on or available from the sites or resources referenced in the Advertising.
Section 6. Term. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, this Agreement is for a one-year term commencing on the date You execute this Agreement (the “Term”), unless the Agreement is terminated sooner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement will automatically renew on an annual basis, subject to the Termination provisions of this Agreement, unless at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any Term, either party gives the other party written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement at the end of the Term. By executing this Agreement, You authorize the Connection to charge the credit card on file for the subscription price for each annual renewal of this Agreement.
Section 7. Cancellation; Termination. You may withdraw your Advertising Content from the Directory at any time. The Connection may, at any time, terminate the Directory, terminate this Agreement, or disable or take down any Advertising Content displayed in the Directory. The Connection will notify the Advertiser by email of any such termination or cancellation, which shall be effective immediately. The Connection reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and take down any Advertising Content displayed in the Directory without prior notice or rebate of the subscription price if it reasonably believes that you have breached this Agreement or if your use of the Directory results in, or is the subject of, legal action, or threatened or proposed legal action against the Connection or any of its affiliates, without consideration of whether such legal action or threatened or proposed legal action is eventually determined to be with or without merit.
Section 8. Intellectual Property Rights. The Agreement does not give You ownership of or the right to use, copy, display, distribute, transmit or otherwise circulate by any means whatsoever any materials or content that may be made available to You in connection with your Advertising Content, all of which is owned by the Connection and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.

Without limitation, You acknowledge and agree that You will not (a) submit false or misleading information to the Directory or fail to immediately correct any information that subsequently becomes false or misleading; (b) submit material that is vulgar, pornographic, obscene, defamatory, libelous, fraudulent, misleading, threatening, hateful, or racially or ethnically objectionable in the sole opinion of the Connection; (c) use a false identity, impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity; (d) infringe, violate, or transgress on the rights of any of any party; (e) condone or participate in any activities designed to harm minors in any way; or (f) engage in any activity in connection with this Agreement that is likely to result in any tort, breach of contract, product liability, consumer fraud, injury, damage or harm of any kind to any person or entity.
