Business Provider Agreement
MEDIC PARADISE INDEPENDENT RESOURCE AGREEMENT: THE HIGHLIGHTS
We believe in transparency. While the full Legal Terms (Sections 1–17) cover every worst-case scenario to protect us both, here is the plain-English summary of how we work together:
-
We Are An Independent Intermediary: Medic Paradise brings you bookings; you provide the excellent service. We are an intermediary, not your employer.
-
Your Expertise: You retain full clinical and operational control over your facility. We do not practice medicine or tell you how to treat patients.
-
Safety First: Because we deal with health, we require you to maintain valid licenses and industry-standard insurance (see Section 12).
-
Payments & Fees: For Local Wellness Facilities, your listing is completely free with zero commissions or referral fees (you only bear standard third-party payout routing fees). For Global Medical Facilities, platform access is maintained via a subscription plan. For international bookings, Medic Paradise charges the Customer a separate concierge fee on top of your provided medical quote.
-
Cancellations: We have a strict policy to protect your time. If a client cancels late, you still get paid (subject to the schedule in Section 4).
The full legal text follows below.
MEDIC PARADISE SERVICE PROVIDER TERMS OF SERVICE These Service Provider Terms of Service (“Service Provider Terms”) in connection with an ordering document online or directly with Medic Paradise (“Order”), together with all related exhibits, constitute the Service Provider Agreement (“Agreement”). This Agreement is entered into between you, the Service Provider, and Carpe Diem CA, LLC, a California limited liability company, dba Medic Paradise (“Medic Paradise” or “MP”). This Agreement incorporates the definitions in Exhibit A (“Definitions”). Any capitalized term used in this Agreement will have the meaning assigned to it in Exhibit A or elsewhere in this Agreement. This Agreement governs the relationship between MP and Service Provider. The relationship between a Customer and MP is governed by a wholly separate Customer Agreement to which you, the Service Provider, will not be a party. The MP Site may be available to users and Service Providers worldwide; provided however that MP may restrict access based on country and location in its sole discretion. If Service Provider is located or provides Services in the United States of America (including its territories and possessions), Appendix A applies.
1. MP Site. MP operates the MP Site. Using the MP Site, Customers can initiate the purchase process for Services from Service Provider through MP, with MP acting as an “introducing party” to Service Provider. The MP Site will serve as an initial point of contact for Customers to purchase Services from Service Provider, and MP will continue the purchasing process directly with Customers and Service Provider through additional communications, agreements, and policies, as necessary and applicable. Service Provider is responsible for acquiring and maintaining, at its own expense, all equipment and connectivity required to access and use the MP Site.
2. Service Provider Account & Service Provider Content on the MP Site.
Service Provider may manage the Service Provider Content, including Product Offers, listed on the MP Site directly with MP via email or the MP Site. MP may incorporate additional functionality to the MP Site from time to time allowing Service Provider to access and manage its Service Provider Account through a personal login on the MP Site, in which case certain terms below will become applicable.
2.1. Service Provider Account. Service Provider will ensure that MP receives all information requested or required by MP to establish and maintain the Service Provider Account. This includes, but is not limited to: (i) insurance information details in accordance with Section 12 below; (ii) current business licenses or registration information, (iii) current professional/medical licenses as applicable; (iv) details regarding Service Provider’s Payment Account; (v) background checks; (vi) all information and documents required for conducting an identity verification process, including, as applicable, through a third-party identity verification service provider, as specified by MP and in MP’s sole discretion.
2.2. Login Credentials. Service Provider shall maintain the confidentiality and security of its Login Credentials by implementing and adhering to recognized security standards and best practices such as regular password updates and the use of multi-factor authentication. Service Provider must not disclose its Login Credentials to any third party under any circumstances. Service Provider is liable for all activities conducted through its Service Provider Account and must compensate MP for any damages resulting from unauthorized account activities caused by Service Provider's failure to secure its Login Credentials. Service Provider must immediately notify MP in writing if it knows or suspects that: (i) its Login Credentials have been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised, or (ii) there has been actual or suspected unauthorized use of its Service Provider Account. This notification must include all details of the incident and the steps Service Provider has taken to mitigate any resultant harm or unauthorized access. Only authorized personnel of Service Provider who have been specifically designated and approved by Service Provider's management are permitted to access the Service Provider Account. Service Provider must maintain a current list of authorized personnel with MP and promptly update this list for any changes. Each authorized user must have a unique login credential and be bound by the same confidentiality and security requirements outlined in this section.
3. Sale of Services on the MP Site.
3.1 Service Provider Classification. Service Provider represents and warrants that it has accurately identified itself as either a Wellness Facility or Medical Facility. Misclassification constitutes material breach and may result in immediate termination.
3.2. Product Offers. For each Service that Service Provider wishes to provide via the MP Site, Service Provider will upload a Product Offer using the MP Site or via email or as directed by MP. The Product offer must be in line with all Product Offer creation guidelines, including the [MP Content Guidelines], and MP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject or immediately suspend or remove any Product Offer from the MP Site that fails to comply with the Product Offer creation guidelines or that falls within the scope of activities described in the [MP Content Guidelines]. The Product Offer must include all necessary information about the Services, including: (i) suitability information (e.g., minimum age, required level of fitness and health, or inherent risks (including risks to persons with pre-existing medical conditions), (ii) logistical information (e.g., appointment location, duration, and required or recommended dress and other requirements), and (iii) other information requested by MP). Service Provider shall ensure that all critical and otherwise reasonably necessary information is included in the “Important information” section of the Product Offer. If any logistical information is omitted from a Product Offer, Service Provider shall provide this information to Customer as soon as possible via the Communication Tools. MP reserves the right to introduce Content Modifications in line with [MP Content Guidelines]. Each Product Offer must follow the [MP Content Guidelines], which include standards for accurate descriptions, suitability information, permitted imagery, and brand consistency. Service Provider acknowledges that during the onboarding process, Medic Paradise may manually assist in the creation, formatting, and uploading of the Service Provider Content. Regardless of whether a profile is generated by the Service Provider or manually by MP, no profile or Product Offer shall become active or visible to the public automatically. Medic Paradise enforces a strict approval gate and retains the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to withhold, suspend, manually edit, or reject any profile until all compliance documentation has been reviewed and approved by MP administration.
3.3. Availability. Service Provider must keep its Product Offers, including Services Availability, up-to-date and accurate at all times. Service Provider must delete any canceled or invalid Product Offers immediately. Service Provider is responsible for any Customer claim based on alleged or actual inaccuracies of the Product Offer, including Services Availability, or other Service Provider Content. While MP may offer API integrations or OAuth calendar syncing (e.g., Mindbody, Google Calendar) to assist in managing Services Availability, Service Provider remains solely responsible for the accuracy of their booking schedule. Medic Paradise shall not be held liable for any double-bookings, missed appointments, or scheduling errors resulting from delayed syncing, third-party server outages, or API integration failures.
3.4. Prices. All fees between MP and Service Provider shall be as set forth on the Order, including all timing of payments. MP will set the Retail Price at which Services will be sold to Customers. Each Product Offer must include all Taxes, expenses, fees, charges, and any other amounts, that are applicable to or required for Service Provider to perform the relevant Services (collectively, “Required Fees”). MP may present all Required Fees separately or include all Required Fees in the Retail Price in its sole discretion, and Service Provider may not collect (or attempt to collect) any Required Fees that are not disclosed in the Product Offer, nor any additional fees or payments of any kind. MP may immediately suspend any Product Offer that does not comply with this Section 3.4. MP reserves the right to adjust Retail Prices with 30 days written notice to Service Provider. Price adjustments may be made due to changes in market conditions, cost of services, or other relevant factors. For Wellness Facilities, at least one (1) service or treatment must be designated as VIP-eligible with a discounted price available exclusively to Medic Paradise VIP Members. The Provider retains full discretion to choose which service is discounted and the amount of the discount. Wellness Facilities must display both the standard price and the VIP discounted price for any VIP-eligible service on the MP platform. Medical Facilities may participate in VIP pricing voluntarily but are not required to offer VIP discounts. Medic Paradise is not responsible for funding, subsidizing, or reimbursing any VIP discount.
3.5. Customer Contract. When a Customer indicates it wishes to purchases Services via the MP Site, the Customer will be purchasing such Service Provider Services directly from MP pursuant to the Customer Agreement, MP shall have the right at all times to (i) manage and cancel Bookings, and (ii) make full or partial refunds to Customers, in each case as set forth in this Agreement. MP may decide to reject the conclusion or retention of a Customer Agreement within its sole discretion (e.g., without limitation, in a case of potential fraud or compliance concerns). The purchase for Services is then concluded as between MP and Service Provider through the Service Provider Agreement.
3.6. Payment & Fees. MP will collect payments for Services directly from Customers pursuant to the Customer Agreement based on each Booking. MP will then pay Service Provider directly based on each Booking. MP may use a Payment Service Provider to process payments from Customers and payments to Service Provider. For Wellness Facilities, presence and listing on the MP Site is completely free of charge; Medic Paradise does not charge Wellness Facilities any commissions, referral fees, or lead-generation fees. For Medical Facilities, presence on the MP Site is subject to an active subscription plan as defined in Section 3.7. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that all payment processing activities shall be conducted in full compliance with all applicable financial regulations, including but not limited to consumer protection laws and anti-money laundering regulations.
3.7. Subscriptions.
3.7.1. Membership Plans. MP provides a subscription service where we offer plans for recurring access to the MP Platform and/or other perks and benefits as applicable and further described in the membership plan program details (each purchase of any such plan, a “Subscription”) and may offer add-on or one-time products or services for sale. Our plan offerings are described on the MP Site and are subject to change.
3.7.2. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTION. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) MP (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE YOU ON A RECURRING BASIS (EITHER ANNUALLY OR MONTHLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE CHOSEN PLAN AND AS APPLICABLE AND WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW), FOR THE PRICE OF YOUR CHOSEN SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES SET FORTH DURING THE PURCHASE PROCESS) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (B) YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE SUBSCRIPTION. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. THE INITIAL RECURRING CHARGES AND FREQUENCY OF CHARGES FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE SET FORTH DURING THE PURCHASE PROCESS ON AN ORDER. THE AMOUNT AND FREQUENCY OF WHICH YOU ARE CHARGED MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE PREFERENCES YOU SELECT, AND WE MAY ADJUST SUCH RECURRING CHARGES FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 3.3 ABOVE.
3.7.3 SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION POLICY. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE ORDER INVOICE DATE SHOWN IN YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT BY CANCELLING THROUGH YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT OR BY EMAILING INFO@MEDICPARADISE.COM. ANY CANCELLATION RECEIVED WITH LESS THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS UNTIL THE NEXT BILLING DATE WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING BILLING PERIOD. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES (INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) INCURRED WITH RESPECT TO ANY ORDER PROCESSED PRIOR TO THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
3.8. Changes. Customers may occasionally make mistakes when making a Booking. Subject to Services Availability, MP may change the date, time, language, or services, for a Booking after a Customer has made the Booking; provided, however that all Bookings shall require the approval of Service Provider including any material changes.
3.9. Chargebacks and Disputes. If a Chargeback or other payment failure occurs before Service Provider provides a Service, MP will inform Service Provider and cancel the Booking.
4. Cancellations; No Shows
4.1 Customer Cancellations.
Service Provider will not directly accept cancellations, request of payments, rescheduling or refunds of Bookings from Customers; all cancellations, request of payments, rescheduling or refunds must be made by a Customer through the MP Site or MP’s customer service department pursuant to the following cancellation policy:

-
Less than 15 days prior to the scheduled Retreat: No refund will be issued.
Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that MP shall be entitled to deduct any applicable refunds from the amounts otherwise payable to the Service Provider for such Booking. In the event that payment has already been made to the Service Provider, Service Provider agrees to promptly reimburse MP the refunded amount upon invoice. Service Provider agrees MP may apply administrative fees for cancellations and no-shows in accordance with Medic Paradise Customer Terms. Service Provider will not charge additional cancellation fees beyond those disclosed in the MP listing.
(i) Force Majeure and Discretionary Refunds. In documented cases and in the event that Service Provider cancels Services because of a Force Majeure Situation (e.g., natural disasters, medical emergencies, or other extenuating circumstances), Service Provider must notify MP’s customer service department immediately. A Customer may cancel a Booking if a Force Majeure Situation occurs at the travel destination, regardless of whether or not Service Provider continues to provide Services during the affected period of time. In circumstances deemed by MP to be force majeure, or if Service Provider or Customer cancels a Booking in connection with a Force Majeure Situation, MP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to issue full or partial refunds to Customers, regardless of the cancellation schedule above. Service Provider shall fully cooperate with MP and shall not dispute any such decision made in good faith.
(ii) Provider Cancellations or Service Failures. If the Service Provider cancels a Booking or otherwise fails to deliver Services in accordance with the Agreement, MP will issue the Customer a full refund and may charge the Service Provider liquidated damages equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Retail Price for each affected Customer, unless such cancellation is due to a documented Force Majeure Situation and approved by MP in writing.
(iii) No Shows. If a Customer fails to appear for the Retreat without prior cancellation (“No Show”) and there are no extenuating circumstances, the Booking will be treated as a Completed Booking for purposes of payment. If in the sole judgment of MP there are extenuating circumstances, MP may give the Customer a Full Refund in its sole discretion.
4.2. Provision of Services. Service Provider will provide Services in accordance with the Product Offer, all Laws, in good faith, and consistent with best practices and standards in Service Provider’s industry or practice. Service Provider may only subcontract performance of the Services (in part or in whole) with the prior written consent of MP, which may be withheld in MP's sole discretion. Any approved subcontractor must meet all qualifications and requirements applicable to Service Provider under this Agreement.
4.3. Failure to Provide Services. If Service Provider cancels a Booking or otherwise fails to provide Services to a Customer as required by a Booking, MP will give the Customer a Full Refund. Service Provider acknowledges that its cancellation or other failure to provide Services, damages MP’s goodwill and reputation and causes MP to incur additional customer service expenses. Accordingly, if MP determines that the cancellation or failure to provide Services was not justifiable (e.g., the result of a Force Majeure Situation), MP shall be entitled to a cancellation fee from Service Provider (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty), equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Retail Price of the Services for each affected Customer, which MP may: (i) deduct from any future payment due to Service Provider hereunder, or (ii) if no future payments to Service Provider are due hereunder, issue Service Provider an invoice for such percentage of the Retail Price of the Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical to estimate the amount of damages that could arise out of Service Provider’s cancellation or other failure to provide Services, and agree that the amount of liquidated damages described above is a reasonable estimate of the actual damages that MP would suffer and incur as a result of such cancellation or failure to provide Services. MP may, at its sole discretion, opt not to deduct (or invoice) this amount, or to deduct (or invoice) a lesser amount, if Service Provider provides an alternative but equivalent Service at the same date to the affected Customers. For the avoidance of doubt, a cancellation resulting from Service Provider’s failure to provide accurate Services Availability information on the MP Site shall constitute a failure to provide Services for purposes of this section. In addition to the remedies stated above, MP may terminate this Agreement for Service Provider’s material breach if Service Provider fails to provide Services as outlined in this Agreement.
5. Payment.
5.1. MP’s Payment. MP will collect all fees and other payments directly from Customer in connection with a Booking. Service Provider will keep confidential from Customer all Service Provider fees payable by MP to Service Provider for Services and MP reserves the right to charge Customer fees for the Services in its sole discretion.
5.2. Payment to Service Provider. Following the confirmed delivery of the Services to the Customer, MP will release payment to the Service Provider via the agreed-upon payment method. To ensure compliance, Service Provider payouts are subject to a time-locked attestation; payout requests may only be initiated twenty-four (24) hours after the scheduled appointment time. Service Provider must explicitly attest that the service was fully rendered. Any attempt to submit a completion attestation for an unrendered or canceled service constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and will result in the immediate and permanent revocation of standard payout schedules, permanently shifting the Service Provider’s account to a Net-30 monthly release schedule, alongside potential termination. All payments shall be made in USD. For payments involving foreign currencies, the exchange rate will be calculated using the current market rate on the date of payment, with any conversion fees to be borne by the Service Provider.
5.3. Transaction Fees; Deductions. As the merchant of record, MP calculates and passes standard credit card processing fees directly to the Customer at checkout as a platform convenience fee, ensuring these specific checkout processing fees are not deducted from the Service Provider's Retail Price. However, Service Provider shall bear any standard financial institution or third-party transfer fees (e.g., standard Stripe Connect payout routing fees) required to deposit the final remitted funds into the Service Provider’s Payment Account. MP may deduct from any payment to Service Provider the costs of refunds made to Customers, replacement services provided to Customers, or other amounts that Service Provider is required to pay to one or more MP Parties, or to reimburse the same, under this Agreement.
5.4. Taxes.
(i) Taxes on Retail Price. MP is responsible for the payment of all Taxes due for the sale of all Services through the Platform, which shall be calculated based on the Retail Price and passed on to Customer. MP is not responsible for any Taxes relating to payments to Service Provider.
(ii) Tax Reporting. Service Provider is solely responsible for determining its obligations to collect Taxes and for reporting and/or remitting such Taxes to the appropriate governmental entity or entities. If the government governing Service Provider’s Taxes requires MP to collect any additional Taxes on Service Provider’s behalf, Service Provider will inform MP regarding the applicable rate(s) and the Parties will cooperate to establish a method for such collection. If at any time MP determines that it is required to collect or deduct Taxes relating to any Services, either on its own or on Service Provider’s behalf, it will inform Service Provider and collect or deduct such Taxes.
(iii) Service Provider Obligations. Upon request from a MP Party, Service Provider will, within five (5) business days: (i) provide the MP Party with Service Provider’s valid tax identification or registration numbers to demonstrate that Service Provider is a registered taxpayer in jurisdictions where Services are taxable, (ii) issue a valid Tax invoice to the MP Party in relation to any specified Services, (iii) provide documentation to the MP Party substantiating that Service Provider remitted tax on such Services (including copies of returns, workpapers, and supporting transaction data reports), and (iv) provide other cooperation as requested to confirm Service Provider’s compliance with Tax obligations. Such information requests may be made directly to the Service Provider or via the MP Site.
(iv) Tax on Payments. In the event a jurisdiction imposes VAT (or other Tax) on any payment, MP is authorized to and will deduct the amount of such VAT (or other Tax) from payments due to Service Provider. Service Provider is responsible for determining if any tax credit is available for payment of this VAT (or other Tax) on the payment. MP reserves the right to validate Service Provider’s VAT (or other Tax) registration number.
(v) Withholding Tax. All payment amounts due to MP under this Agreement will be free of any deduction or withholding tax (or equivalent), as may be required by Law. If any such withholding tax (domestic or cross-border) is required, Service Provider will be responsible to pay such amounts in addition to the payment, such that the net amount received by MP is equal to the amount due without any deduction. MP will provide Service Provider with any available tax forms and/or certificates that may be required in order for Service Provider to reduce or eliminate any withholding tax in respect of any amounts under this Agreement.
(vi) Disclosure. In accordance with Law, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, MP may disclose Service Provider information to a tax authority without notice to Service Provider before or after the disclosure. (vii) Failure to Comply. Any failure by Service Provider to comply with the requirements of this section may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of Service Provider’s Services from the MP Site.
5.5. Payment Withholding. MP may postpone, withhold, or set-off, payments due to Service Provider hereunder in case Service Provider has failed to comply with providing mandatory information as listed in Section 2.1 and Section 5.4 of these Service Provider Terms.
5.6. MP Service Fee and Concierge Fee. Service Provider agrees that MP may, in addition to the Retail Price or medical quote provided by the Service Provider, charge an MP Service Fee or concierge fee directly to the Customer. This fee compensates MP for its facilitation, concierge, and pathway services, and will be retained entirely by MP. Service Provider shall not interfere with or attempt to circumvent this fee.
6. Customer Relations.
6.1. Customer Communications. Service Provider may not directly or indirectly: (i) encourage a Customer to book a Service outside the MP Site, (ii) refer a Customer to any other Service provider, website, or platform, including Service Provider’s own affiliated Service provider, website, or platform, or (iii) take or permit any other action to circumvent or negatively affect the MP Site or the payment of the Retail Price to MP. If prospective Customers, who initiated communication through the MP Site, ask to book a Service outside the MP Site, Service Provider will refer them at all times to the MP Site.
6.2. Invoices. Service Provider will provide to MP an invoice for Services via the Communication Tools which MP may pass on to Customer in MP’s discretion. The invoice must comply with all requirements of MP, including, without limitation, all Tax requirements. Invoices shall be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt. Recurring payments for ongoing services shall be due on the first business day of each calendar month, with invoices submitted no later than five (5) business days prior to the payment due date.
6.3. Service Levels & Business Conduct. Service Provider agrees to act with at least the care of an ordinary and reasonable business person towards all Customers. Service Provider agrees that the pricing, Services Availability, amenities, and restrictions for Services offered via the MP Site will be equal to or better than those made available through Service Provider’s or its Affiliates’ own business and online presence. Potential Customers and Customers who book a Service through the MP Site will be treated at least as well as Customers that book through Service Provider’s or its affiliates’ own online presence. Service Provider must honor Medic Paradise VIP benefits only for the member of record. VIP benefits are non-transferable and cannot be applied to friends, family, or third parties. Service Provider acknowledges that MP has provided them with access to MP’s written responsible tourism onboarding guidelines included in the MP Content Guidelines found on the MP Site, which sets forth guidelines for MP's action and behavior relating to ethical and responsible standards of behavior, including, without limitation, those dealing with human rights (e.g., child labor, modern slavery), environmental protection, sustainable development, and bribery and corruption, and as further detailed in MP Content Guidelines. During the term of this Agreement, Service Provider shall conduct business and shall ensure that any person under its control (including its own workforce and its supply chain) conducts business, in a manner consistent with MP's responsible tourism guidelines and all Laws and regulations relating to the subject matter thereof. If Service Provider fails to meet the conditions laid out in this clause, MP may terminate this Agreement pursuant to 16.3 and 16.4. Service Provider must verify customer identity using government-issued photo ID prior to treatment or service delivery. (Valid ID includes passport, national ID card, driver's license, or state-issued identification card.) Service Provider acknowledges that MP's responsible tourism guidelines and other platform guidelines may be updated from time to time. Service Provider agrees to comply with all current and future versions of these guidelines as they are updated and understands that failure to comply with updated guidelines may result in termination of this Agreement. Service Provider agrees to maintain high-quality service standards that include: (a) Consistent and reliable service delivery meeting or exceeding industry best practices, (b) Adherence to professional performance metrics, (c) Maintaining appropriate qualifications and training for all personnel, (d) Ensuring customer satisfaction through prompt and professional service, and (e) Continuous improvement of service quality through regular performance reviews and customer feedback mechanisms.
6.4. Personnel Conduct. Service Provider is solely responsible for the conduct of its personnel in connection with Customers or other persons. Service Provider shall not, and shall ensure that its personnel shall not, discriminate against or harass any Customer, including, on the basis of race, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, physical or mental disability, medical condition, marital status, age or sexual orientation.
6.5. Customer Requests. MP will handle and respond to requests or complaints from Customers regarding the Services, complaints about Service Provider personnel, and requests for refunds. Service Provider shall fully cooperate with MP in resolving any such matters and shall implement any reasonable corrective measures requested by MP within the timeframe specified by MP. MP will communicate Customer requests to Service Provider as applicable and as necessary. Service Provider shall use best efforts to respond to MP regarding a Customer complaint as soon as possible. In the event of Service Provider’s noncompliance with the service levels in Section 6.4 or any material irregularity, complaint, or nonconformity with a Product Offer and the Services, MP (or the applicable MP Party) may at its sole discretion: (a) give the Customer a Full Refund or partial refund, and/or (b) provide the Customer alternative services (of an equal or better standard than the Services) and deduct the cost of such replacement services from a future payment to Service Provider. If MP (or an applicable MP Party) gives a Customer a partial refund, the amount paid to Service Provider will be reduced accordingly.
6.7. Reviews. After a Booking has been completed, the Customer will have the opportunity to review the Services on the MP Site using MP's review system. The aim of the review system is to gather meaningful and accurate feedback regarding the Services and Service Provider in areas such as performance, reliability, and trustworthiness. Reviews can be viewed by any user of the MP Site. All review content is exclusively licensed to MP or the applicable MP Party. Service Provider may not use or distribute any reviews from the MP Site that include Customer Personal Data. The reviews on the MP Site have been created by Customers and will not be verified by MP for accuracy. Service Provider is prohibited from manipulating the review system in any manner, such as writing a review about any Services or instructing a third party to do so.
6.8. VIP Membership. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that VIP Memberships, VIP pricing, and all VIP cancellation or modification requests are managed exclusively by Medic Paradise and the Customer. Provider shall not manage, process, or accept requests related to VIP Membership enrollment, cancellation, or benefits.
7. Marketing.
7.1. MP Obligations. MP will promote and market the Services in its sole discretion and will bear the cost of its promotion and marketing efforts. In order to promote the Services, MP may use the Service Provider Content and Service Provider Marks in offline and online marketing, including without limitation email marketing, broadcast or pod-cast marketing, social media advertising, and pay-per-click advertising. MP will, in its sole discretion, determine whether and how to promote the Services and Product Offers on the MP Site or elsewhere, including position and ranking in search results. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, MP may offer a Service at a price lower than the Retail Price stated in a Product Offer, provided that any previously agreed amount to be paid to Service Provider shall not be affected.
7.2. Service Provider Obligations. Service Provider must offer Services under its generally-used company and brand name. The Product Offer or other Service Provider Content may not state or convey the impression, directly or indirectly, that: (i) MP provides the Services, (ii) MP has tested the quality of the Services, or (iii) MP otherwise endorses Service Provider or the Services.
7.3. Service Provider Communications. Service Provider shall not directly or indirectly (e.g., through an affiliate or agent) engage in any marketing, promotional, or similar communications with any Customer without such Customer’s prior consent. Without limiting the foregoing, Service Provider shall not include any marketing or promotional content in any confirmation or other communication sent to Customers. Service Provider acknowledges that the transmission of communications in violation of this section constitutes both a material breach of this contract as well as a potential violation of Data Protection Laws, including GDPR. In case Service Provider replies to a Customer Review, please follow our “reply to” guidelines as may be available on the MP Site.
7.4. Development. MP may share Service Provider Content and information and data relating to Service Provider and the Services with third-party marketing services to promote the Services and with other third parties as necessary to further develop the MP Site (including its interfaces to third party products and services). For example, MP may transfer the necessary data to: (i) promote the Services via map providers, directories, search engines, or digital assistants, or (ii) develop and implement relevant interfaces between the MP Site and such products and services.
8. Compliance.
Service Provider shall render all Services in compliance with all Laws, including: (i) fire and safety laws, (ii) consumer protection laws, (iii) information and consultation laws, (iv) licensing laws, (v) health and hygiene laws and regulations (including any laws or regulations relating to COVID-19 or any other communicable disease), (vi) Wellness Facilities must ensure compliance with wellness, spa, massage therapy, cosmetic treatment, and alternative therapy regulations applicable in their jurisdiction, and (vii) other laws related to the Services or Service Provider’s business. Service Provider acknowledges that MP reserves the right to monitor and audit Service Provider's activities to ensure compliance with MP's guidelines and standards. Upon request by a MP Party, Service Provider will provide, within five (5) business days: (a) copies of all registrations, licenses, permits, approvals, and authorizations related to Service Provider or the Services, and (b) documentation demonstrating compliance with Laws. In the event of alleged non-compliance of the Services, Service Provider shall promptly cooperate, at its own expense, with any investigation by administrative authorities or associations.
8.1. Audit Rights. Medic Paradise may, upon reasonable notice, request documentation or conduct verification to confirm that Service Provider maintains valid licenses, certifications, and insurance required by applicable law. Provider agrees to cooperate with any such compliance review.
9. Intellectual Property.
9.1. Service Provider Content. Service Provider grants to MP a non-exclusive, sublicensable (through one or more tiers), worldwide, fully-paid and royalty-free license, in any and all media now known or hereafter discovered or developed, to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, make derivative works of, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, and distribute the Service Provider Content including: (i) on or through the MP Site, (ii) in online and offline marketing materials, and (iii) as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or agreed by the Parties. Service Provider is solely responsible for the Service Provider Content, and may provide only Service Provider Content that it either owns or otherwise has the right to provide to MP under the Service Provider Terms. Service Provider shall not provide Service Provider Content that is, contains, or references Prohibited Content. MP may remove from the MP Site any Service Provider Content that, in MP’s good faith determination, does or may violate this Agreement or Law. Alternately, MP may request Service Provider to correct any such non-conforming Service Provider Content within two (2) days of notice. To assist consumers who speak different languages, MP may translate (or have translated) Service Provider Content, in whole or in part, into other languages. MP cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations. In no event, will MP act as a translator between Service Provider and Customer.

14.1. Data Protection. With regard to Customer Personal Data, both MP and Service Provider act separately as data controllers.

Service Provider shall comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws when processing (including accessing, collecting, storing, transferring and deleting) Customer Personal Data.

15.2. Termination without Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part at any time, without cause, effective upon thirty (30) days’ notice (with email being sufficient). A deactivation of the Service Provider Account equals a termination.

15.5. Effect of Termination. The terms of this Agreement, except Sections 2.2, 3.7, 7.1 15.2, and 15.3, shall remain in effect until all Remnant Bookings are resolved (i.e. all Remnant Bookings have either become Completed Bookings or have been cancelled), provided however that MP shall make no new Bookings after the termination date of this Agreement. At MP’s option, MP may cancel some or all Remnant Bookings and offer affected Customers either a Full Refund or alternative services.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Class Action Waiver and Mandatory Arbitration.
16.1. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States without regard to conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction. Any Dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be resolved in accordance with this Section 16.1. Either Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedure of this Section 16.1. by written notice of a Dispute to the other Party.
16.2. Negotiations. In the event of any Dispute, the Parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good faith negotiations. Each party will nominate an executive or other representative who will meet to try to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve such Dispute within thirty (30) Business Days after such Dispute was first referred to them, either Party may submit the Dispute for resolution by arbitration under Section 16.3.
16.3. Arbitration. All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Agreement that are not resolved by the procedures identified above shall be resolved by individual (not group) binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Arbitration will be held in Los Angeles, California, and Service Provider and MP agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles, California in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator, provided, that MP will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Service Provider is responsible for all other additional costs that Service Provider may incur in the arbitration including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expert witness costs unless MP is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. If Service Provider’s claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, Service Provider may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. Service Provider and MP agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. SERVICE PROVIDER AND MP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN SERVICE PROVIDER’S OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, Service Provider or MP may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect Intellectual Property Rights. Service Provider or MP may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction to the extent such claims do not seek equitable relief. Service Provider has the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of Service Provider’s decision to opt out to MP through the Communication Tools. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the “Date of Last Revision” date of these Terms as set forth above; or (b) the first date that Service Provider used the MP Site that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise Service Provider shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If Service Provider opts out of these arbitration provisions, MP also will not be bound by them. If MP changes this ‘Arbitration’ section after the date Service Provider first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), Service Provider may reject any such change by sending MP written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Date of Last Revision” date above or in the date of MP’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, Service Provider is agreeing that Service Provider will arbitrate any dispute between Service Provider and MP in accordance with the provisions of this section as of the date Service Provider first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). SERVICE PROVIDER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE ABOVE DISPUTE PROCEDURES SHALL BE SERVICE PROVIDER’S SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF DISPUTE BETWEEN SERVICE PROVIDER AND MP REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF THE MP SITE AND THAT SERVICE PROVIDER IS WAIVING SERVICE PROVIDER’S RIGHT TO LEAD OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS, SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION.

Service Provider may reject a proposed amendment by sending a notice of rejection to MP, in the manner specified, before the Amendment Effective Date.

If a Force Majeure Situation detrimentally affects a Party’s performance for fourteen (14) days or longer, the other Party may terminate this Agreement.
17.6. Interpretation. In this Agreement: (i) “including” means “including but not limited to,” and (ii) general words shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things. Captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in construing it. If any provision herein is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. The Parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. Each Party waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any rule of interpretation or construction requiring or suggesting that this Agreement be interpreted or construed against the drafting Party.

MP and any subagents disclaim, and Service Provider waives, any duty arising from the creation of an agency relationship (including any duty of loyalty or care), to the maximum extent permitted by Law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all remedies provided for herein are cumulative, in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either Party at law, in equity or otherwise. The MP Parties are expressly named as third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, and each of the MP Parties has the right to enforce this Agreement against Service Provider as this Agreement pertains to its respective rights as a third-party beneficiary, including the service levels specified in Section 6.4. Except as provided in this section, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder are personal to them and this Agreement is not intended to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties and supersedes any and all oral or written agreements or understandings between the Parties, as to the subject matter of the Agreement.
