b. Cancellation Policy of your Accepted and/or Scheduled Shift. As a Clinician, you should not cancel on your commitment and/or acceptance of a shift to a Listing Facility without valid reason. We’re all here to help deliver better patient care and we understand that managing patients is incredibly vigorous work. You understand and acknowledge that cancellations from Clinicians for a shift can cause serious challenges for a Listing Facility in their observance of safe patient ratios and maintaining compliance with Federal laws, State laws, or any applicable nursing standard. In light of this, NURSA™ reserves the sole right to determine whether or not your reasoning for a cancellation is valid and/or excusable. Invalid cancellations may result in your account being put on a temporary or permanent hold or block. You as a Clinician warrant that you will adhere to any regulated and legal standards or requirements regarding hours worked and competency to ensure that you are able to fulfill the professional services you have agreed to perform for any Facility.
To provide the best patient care possible, NURSA™ enforces a strict cancellation policy. We understand that things come up unexpectedly, and we do what we can to work with you in those situations. However, quality care and industry nursing standards require Clinicians to be dependable, responsible, and communicative. For this reason, you acknowledge that you shall double check your schedule before making a request for a shift to ensure you can perform the professional services you would be obligated to perform when requesting any particular shift. As a Clinician you recognize, consent to, and understand the following:- If a Clinician Cancels the Shift:

This Agreement shall control and continue to be in full force and effect for any other term or obligation not in conflict.a. Verification of Shift, Shift Reports, Clinician Competency. For all completed Clinician shifts scheduled through the NURSA™ Platform, NURSA™ agrees to document the Job ID, Clinician name, start time, end time, break length (if any), total hours worked, billing rate, and total dollar amount billed. This documentation will accurately reflect completed and verified (manual or auto) shift reports from the NURSA™ app. The Facility shall review and verify shift reports upon submission from a Clinician. In the event that shift reports are not reviewed nor verified by the Facility within 48 business hours, the parties shall accept auto-verified shift reports. Any auto-verified shift report shall be deemed accepted by the parties as true and correct.
Each Facility shall bear sole and exclusive responsibility to review and approve each Clinician’s credentials, i.e, professional licensure, status, professional qualification, background check(s), and any and all items that have been uploaded or that are lacking on a Clinician’s profile PRIOR to engaging the services of any Clinician. Although we conduct preliminary license/certification verification for a Clinician, it is the sole and exclusive responsibility of a Facility to ensure that a Clinician meets the Facility’s standards, expectations, clinical competence, and legal requirements so that the Clinician may engage with the Facility to perform any healthcare services. The Facility recognizes, acknowledges, and understands that the determination of any competency of a Clinician is the Facility’s sole and absolute responsibility and obligation. The Facility shall indefinitely indemnify and hold NURSA™ harmless for any issue, claim, cause of action, damages, or the like in any way whatsoever regarding the verification of a Clinician and its characteristics, licensure, or credentials, clinical competence, or professional qualifications, in any way. Any information provided by NURSA™ to the Facility on our Platform is provided only for the Facility’s own use in its internal decision, approval, and review of any Clinician. Unless required by law, the Facility shall not disseminate or disclose any information we may provide or that it may access by the use of our app, including but not limited to, any information or documentation contained in a Clinician’s profile, licensure, professional qualifications, OIG Exclusion Check, background check, abuse registry check, or any other information provided by NURSA™ in any way unless authorized herein.

You acknowledge and represent that your facility is compliant with any and all Federal, State, or local ordinance, code, or law for the Facility, your building, and your employees. You acknowledge and represent that you will maintain your facility’s environment and operation in a safe manner consistent with industry standards and/or legal requirements. It is solely your responsibility to provide any necessary orientation to the Clinicians that may be required by your Facility or by law. You shall provide a safe and suitable place for the Clinicians to perform their duties and in compliance with all applicable statutes and ordinances relating to the health and safety of your workplace. You acknowledge that we do not control or have any oversight or control over any Clinician, thus, any risk of loss in any way is transferred and accepted by you entering into this Agreement. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to ensure that a Clinician meets any and all requirements that you may require. You shall ensure that a Clinician provides its professional services in the appropriate setting and in conjunction with any specific policies or procedures that you may require. By accepting a Clinician’s request you undertake any and all responsibility for that individual and its professional services it renders for the Facility. You acknowledge that if you experience any unexpected incidents, errors, occupational safety hazards, events, or issues that involve a Clinician, patient safety, or other issues, you may contact the local authorities, nursing board, or regulatory body to report. If you have any questions regarding any particular incident or circumstance you may contact us at 5295 S. Commerce Dr., Murray, UT 84107, support@nursa.com, (801) 695-9609.
You understand that the Clinicians you engage to perform healthcare services are considered independent contractors. You also understand and recognize that the Clinicians are not employees of NURSA™. Your engagement with a Clinician is your own voluntary acceptance of their independent performance of healthcare services on your behalf. You further recognize that we have absolutely no control or oversight over any Clinician or how they perform any service for you.c. Reassignment of a Scheduled Shift (Floating Shifts). If you, as a facility, request a clinician to be reassigned to another department or unit, you acknowledge that the clinician is free to accept or refuse that reassignment. You further warrant that you will independently determine whether or not a clinician is competent and qualified to fulfill the requirements of the reassigned scope of practice. You shall also assume any and all risks regarding the reassignment in any way. NURSA does not require a clinician to accept or refuse any reassignment request. This is a clinician’s own voluntary choice. If a clinician chooses to refuse a reassignment request, NURSA will not take any action against them.You also acknowledge that you will follow any standard or requirement mandated by the Nurse Practice Act, or similar law in your location to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and the safety of patients.d. Charges, Pricing, and Invoicing. As a user of our platform you understand that usage may result in charges to you (“Charges”). Charges are the pricing estimates listed through job creation that will be used for any particular per diem shift that you post. Price estimates for Listing Facilities can be obtained through the job creation process before publicly posting a shift on Our Platform. Pricing fluctuates based on current demand, timing and other conditions. NURSA™ reserves the right to determine and modify pricing based on these same conditions among others. Pricing may also vary based on the type of service requested.
You are responsible for reviewing the current pricing on Our Platform and you are responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. If you don’t recognize a transaction, then you can check and review within your account history. Any errors, omissions, or corrections contained in the invoice or to the Charges must be reported in writing to NURSA™ within 30 days of the service date. After 30 days, all Charges shall be deemed correct, accurate, and without objection. All Charges are facilitated through a third party payment processor (e.g. First Data, Stripe, Inc, or Braintree, etc). NURSA™ may replace its third party processor without notice to you. Cash payments are strictly prohibited. Your payment of Charges to NURSA™ satisfies your payment obligations for your use of the NURSA™ platform and associated services. NURSA™ may group multiple Charges into a single aggregate transaction on your payment method based on the nature of the Charges and/or the date(s) they were incurred.e. Late Fees and Default in Payment. If any portion of your invoice is not paid by the due date a late fee will be assessed and placed on your account. The late fee shall be the lesser of 1.5% per month of the unpaid balance (multiplied against your bill balance and compounded daily), or the highest rate permitted by law. You shall reimburse us for all our expenses we incur to recover such monies, including attorneys’ fees, collection costs, collection fees, court costs, and service costs regardless if the case is filed in a court competent jurisdiction, is settled prior thereto, is mediated, or arbitrated. If you fail to pay on time and NURSA™ refers your account(s) to a third party collection company, a collection fee will be assessed and will be due at the time of the referral to the third party. The collection fee will be calculated as the lesser of the actual amount required to pay a third party debt collection agency, or 33.3% of the total unpaid balance (including interest) at the time it is referred to a third party collection company. Daily interest shall continue to accrue indefinitely until the account is paid in full. NURSA™ has the discretion to assess and charge you any late fee. In the event that a late fee is not assessed it shall not be considered a waiver of this clause or to assess a late fee retroactively or in the future. You understand that NURSA™ reserves the absolute and sole right to put a hold on your account or permanently prevent you from using our app or our platform for any reason it deems appropriate or that is in violation of law or this Agreement, however slight.
We may also suspend your usage upon three (3) days' notice to you if any undisputed payment due to NURSA™ is past due, and such failure to pay will be considered a material breach of this Agreement. We will not suspend service while you are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute. If your service is suspended for non-payment, we may charge a reactivation fee. You will also promptly reimburse us for any expenses of collection, including costs, collection fees, disbursements, and reasonable attorney fees we incur, to the extent necessitated by your refusal to pay amounts that you are not disputing in good faith.f. Cancellation Policy for Facilities. Please review the cancelation policy for Clinicians that is outlined herein above for your reference. As a Listing Facility we strongly encourage you not to cancel on Clinicians. Cancellations without valid reasoning can hurt Clinicians personally and professionally. You agree that Nursa reserves the right to implement, revise, and enforce policies to protect the health of its platform, including but not limited to granting Nursa the ability to charge fees, restrict access, or other preventative measures at Nursa’s sole discretion.
