All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Site thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction Section, will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Site.

In addition, each Service Provider:

Speech-Language Pathologist Representations and Warranties and Use of the Site

By registering or using the Site to list one or more speech-language pathologists, each Service Provider, represents and warrants that they, and the employees, agents, contractors, and subcontractors who may perform work for them are properly and fully qualified and experienced, and licensed, certified, and insured, as required by applicable laws or regulations to which they may be subject in the jurisdiction(s) in which they offer speech-language pathology services. Service Provider otherwise agrees to comply with all applicable laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended and the California Consumer Privacy Act, in their use of the Site and any personal information obtained from the Site. Prior to being listed on the Site and following each re-certification period under the laws and jurisdiction in which the Service Provider provides speech-language pathology services, Service Provider shall provide to SLPFIND, evidence of an active membership with good standing in ASHA (or an organization recognized by the Mutual Recognition Agreement), an active Speech Pathologist license in

the states/countries that are reported to SLPFIND, and such other appropriate documents certifying licensure and ASHA membership as needed before the end of the next certification period.

It is the Service Provider’s responsibility to abide by the standards of Speech Pathology as outlined in the ASHA Code of Ethics and by their state licensure.

SLPFIND is not in the business of providing speech-language pathology services. Service Providers understand and agree that by creating and maintaining an account on the Site, they receive only the ability to use the SLPFIND Site to access persons interested in receiving speech-language pathology services, and related tools, including but not limited to schedule appointments that facilitate the provision of Service Provider’s speech-language pathology services. For example, individuals looking to engage a Service Provider, may use the Site to schedule an initial appointment with a Service Provider of their choosing; after which all speech-language pathology services provided by the Service Provider, shall be completed by the Service Provider on such Service Provider’s own site, platform, or other avenue, as determined between the Service Provider and the individual engaging the Service Provider. In addition, no payment for services by any Service Provider shall be made through the Site but shall be made directly between the Service Provider and the individual engaging the Service Provider.

Service Providers understand and agree that using the Site does not guarantee that anyone will engage them for their services.

SLPFIND does not support and will not tolerate its Service being used to discriminate against others, especially when based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry or national origin. Service Provider shall not use the Service in a manner which discriminates against any other user of the Site or Services, or which would or would likely incite, promote or support such discrimination. If SLPFIND believes in its sole determination that Service Provider’s use of the Site and/or Service is being used to discriminate, especially if based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry or national origin, UPRONOUNCE may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason.

Service Providers understand and agree that they are customers of SLPFIND, and are not SLPFIND employees, joint venturers, partners, or agents. Service Providers acknowledge that they set or confirm their own prices, provide their own equipment, and determine their own work schedule. SLPFIND does not control, and has no right to control, the services a Service Provider provides (including how the Service Provider provides such services).

SLPFIND, as permitted by applicable laws, may obtain reports regarding Service Providers which may include history of criminal convictions or sex offender registration, and we may limit, block, suspend, deactivate, or cancel a Service Provider’s account based on the results of such a check. As a Service Provider, you agree and authorize us to use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports from SLPFIND’s vendors.

Each Service Provider hereby consents for SLPFIND to use his, her, or its photos, videos, and other information provided by Service Provider in any and all advertising of the Site and/or Service, on SLPFIND’s Site, social media accounts, and all other advertising locations.

Account Registration and Other Submissions

Users may access the Site without registering for an account. To access and participate in certain features of the Site, including without limitation, Service Providers, you will need to create a password-

protected account ("Account"). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration or request submission process and at all other times when you use the Site, and to update information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your password. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs on your Account, and you will notify SLPFIND immediately of any unauthorized use.

Your Account is nontransferable except with SLPFIND’s written permission and in line with SLPFIND’s policies and procedures.

No Endorsement

SLPFIND does not endorse any member, user, or any Service Provider, and SLPFIND is not a party to any agreements between or among Service Providers and other users of the Site. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Terms or any user's use of any part of the Site, including but not limited to any scheduling or other services. Neither SLPFIND nor any users of the Site may direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other or create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other. All users of the Site are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although SLPFIND may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of Service Providers, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Service Provider or their purported identity or background.

Any reference on the Site to a Service Provider being licensed or credentialed in some manner, or "badged," "best of," "top," "background checked" (or similar language) designations indicates only that the Service Provider has completed a relevant account process or met user review standards, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by SLPFIND and is not verification of their identity and whether they or their services are licensed, insured, trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site. You should always exercise responsibility, due diligence and care when deciding whether to have any interaction with any other user, including without limitation, Service Providers. SLPFIND shall not be responsible for any in-person or virtual interactions had between users, including without limitation, any individual and a Service Provider.

By using the Site, you understand and agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other users or other third parties, including without limitation, Service Providers, will be limited to a claim against those particular users or other third parties. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from SLPFIND with respect to such actions or omissions.

The Site and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof) are owned by SLPFIND, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

You must not use such marks without the prior written permission of SLPFIND.

Any use of the Site not expressly permitted by these Terms of Use is a breach of these Terms of Use and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by SLPFIND infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

(i). a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

(ii). identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);

(iii). identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Yogi-Go to locate the material on the Service;

(iv). the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party;

(v). a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

(vi). a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send SLPFIND a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet

the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see www.copyright.gov for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to INFO@SLPFIND.com. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the SLPFIND, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association with arbitration occurring in Tampa, Florida (or electronically, if agreed by the parties).

Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their 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. YOU AND SLPFIND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR 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.

Limitation on Time to File Claims

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by SLPFIND of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

The Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and SLPFIND regarding the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Site.
