Contractor will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, oral, or otherwise) that relates to Contractor’s work for Company and/or incorporates any Confidential Information.

5. INDEPENDENTCONTRACTOR
5.1 Independent Contractor Relationship. Contractor’s relation to Company under this Agreement is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship between Company and Contractor. Contractor will take no position with respect to or on any tax return or application for benefits, or in any proceeding directly or indirectly involving Company, that is inconsistent with Contractor being an independent contractor (and not an employee) of Company. Contractor is not the agent of Company and is not authorized, and must not represent to any third party that Contractor is authorized, to make any commitment or otherwise act on behalf of Company.
5.2 Services and Deliverables. From time to time, upon mutual agreement of the parties, Company will submit to Contractor written work orders that contain the terms for Services and Deliverables that Company desires Contractor to provide (each such work order, a “Statement of Work”). The term “Deliverables” means the items to be provided or actually provided by Contractor to Company under this Agreement, including items specifically designated or characterized as Deliverables in any Statement of Work. The term “Services” means the services to be performed or actually performed by Contractor under this Agreement and any Statement of Work. Each Statement of Work issued hereunder shall comprise a part of this Agreement provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between such Statement of Work and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The initial Statement of Work, setting forth the initial Services and Deliverables, is attached hereto as Exhibit A(the “Initial Statement of Work”). Deliverables shall be deemed accepted after Company has had a reasonable opportunity for inspection and accepted such Deliverables in writing. Contractor shall execute a standard business associate agreement if required by Company to do so in order to comply with applicable healthcare law.
5.3 Compensation. Contractor’s sole and complete compensation for all Services and Deliverables provided by Contractor under this Agreement is specified in Exhibit A here to.
5.4 Invoicing. Payment to Contractor of any expenses approved will be due thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice for such expenses.
5.5 Benefits and Contributions. Contractor is not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that Company may make available to its employees, such as group insurance, profit- sharing, or retirement benefits. Because Contractor is an independent contractor, Company will not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on behalf of Contractor. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor is reclassified as an employee of Company, or any affiliate of Company, by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Labor, or any other federal or state or foreign agency as the result of any administrative or judicial proceeding, Contractor agrees that Contractor will not, as the result of such reclassification, be entitled to or eligible for, on either a prospective or a retrospective basis, any employee benefits under any plans or programs established or maintained by Company. |
|
5.6 Taxes.Contractor is solely responsible for filing all tax returns and submitting all payments as required by any federal, state, local, or foreign tax authority arising from the payment of fees to Contractor under this Agreement, and agrees to do so in a timely manner. If applicable, Company will report the fees paid to Contractor under this Agreement by filing Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service as required by law.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Arizona without reference to any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Contractor irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Phoenix, Arizona, for any suit or action arising from or related to this Agreement, and waives any right Contractor may have to object to the venue of such courts. Contractor further agrees that these courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any such suit or action initiated by Contractor against Company.
6.1(i) Dispute Resolution. Any and all disputes, controversies or claims concerning or relating to this Agreement will be addressed in accordance with the procedures specified in 7.1(i)-7.1(iii).

The parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator or arbitrator shall hold the existence, content, and result of the mediation or arbitration in confidence. The parties will not disclose the existence, content, or results of any proceedings conducted in accordance with this Section 7, and materials submitted in connection with such proceedings will not be admissible in any other proceeding; provided however that this confidentiality provision will not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, and shall not bar disclosures required by law.
6.1(ii) Nonbinding Mediation. A party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other party. Mediation will be nonbinding and before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under the then effective JAMS Rules of Practice and Procedure. The mediation shall take place in Phoenix, Arizona, regardless of which party initiates the mediation.

The arbitration shall take place in Phoenix, Arizona, regardless of which party initiates the arbitration.
6.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
6.3 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, upon thirty (30) days written notice.

6.4 Survival. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of Contractor’s engagement.
6.5 No Assignment. This Agreement and Contractor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned, delegated, or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by Contractor without Company’s express prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Company may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights under this Agreement to any third party with or without Contractor’s consent.

Each party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of the change to the other party.
6.7 Injunctive Relief. Contractor acknowledges that, because its services are personal and unique and because Contractor will have access to the Confidential Information of Company, any breach of this Agreement by Contractor would cause irreparable injury to Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and, therefore, will entitle Company to injunctive relief (including specific performance). The rights and remedies provided to each party in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to such party at law or in equity. |

6.8 Legal Fees.The prevailing party in any litigation between the parties relating to this Agreement will be entitled to recover such party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in addition to any other relief that such party may be awarded.

No rule of strict construction, including contra proferentem,will be applied in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Statement of Work, this Agreement will control unless the Statement of Work expressly refers to the parties’ intent to alter the terms of this Agreement with respect to that Statement of Work.
6.10 Waiver. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
