These Care Provider Terms of Service (“Agreement”) describe the terms and conditions on which MRG, Inc., doing business as Aidin (“Aidin”) provides the information, features and services available on or through the Aidin website (collectively, the “Service”) to you, the users of the Service (“you” or “User”). The Service allows healthcare providers (“Care Providers”) to submit information about their services to the Service, allows patients who are moving to healthcare providers (“Patients”) to locate and review information about Care Providers, and allows Patients to submit reviews and comments about Care Providers. The Service also allows Care Providers to provide information to Patients about other Care Providers. This Agreement governs the use of the Service by Care Providers. You should read this Agreement carefully, because by indicating acceptance of this Agreement or by otherwise using the Service, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with Aidin. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must not use the Service.
In order to submit information to the Service, Care Providers and Patients must create an account and register with us. If you register as a Care Provider or otherwise use the Service, you represent and warrant to Aidin that: (i) you are of legal age to form a binding contract; (ii) you will provide Aidin with accurate, current and complete registration information; (iii) if you are registering in order to access Service for an organization or entity, that you have the right to bind such organization to this Agreement, and the terms “User” and “you” will include both you, the individual user, and such organization; and (iv) your registration and your use of the Service is not prohibited by law. You are responsible for your registration and all use of the Service under it. Sharing passwords with any unauthorized person is not permitted. You understand and acknowledge that use of the Service that constitutes falsifying entries or concealment of material regarding Patients or the provision of care to Patients, or pertinent omissions may constitute fraud and may be prosecuted under applicable federal and/or state laws. Fraud is a felony, which can result in fines or imprisonment.
The Service provides a source of information to Patients. The Service does not constitute medical or health care advice, or a recommendation, warranty or guarantee that any Care Providers identified, located or used by means of the Service are suitably licensed or qualified, that the care available through that Care Provider is appropriate for the Patient or recommended by any Care Provider, or that the services provided by the Care Provider meet any particular standard of quality. Each Patient uses the Service at his or her own risk and remains responsible to conduct his or her own diligence and inquiries about any Care Provider listed on the Service. Nothing contained in the Service is intended to be used for medical diagnosis or treatment. The Service is provided with the understanding that neither Aidin nor its suppliers or Users are engaged in rendering legal, medical, counseling or other professional Service or advice or are providing any guarantee or warranty of quality about healthcare servicese. Aidin and its agents assume no responsibility for any consequence relating directly or indirectly to any action or inaction Patients or other Users take based on the information, Service or other material on the Service.

If you purchase any subscription plan for the Service or certain features of the Service, you must pay any applicable Fees.

We will refund you in case your order was cancelled by us after your credit card or other digital payment method has been charged.

Your subscription will continue in effect and renew on a recurring basis, monthly or annually, unless and until you cancel your subscription.
C. Cancellation of auto-renew subscription plans. You must cancel your subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours before your next billing period, in order to avoid the next billing period.

Aidin reserves the right to change the terms of your subscription, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next billing period following the date of the change. If Aidin changes the subscription fee or other charges for your subscription, we will give you advance notice of these changes. If you purchase a subscription from us with promotional pricing or which includes free products or services, we will inform you of the non-promotional pricing, obtain your consent to such pricing, and notify you of how to cancel your subscription prior to billing you at the non-promotional pricing.

In the event that the American Arbitration Association is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, and the parties are unable to agree to a substitute, a substitute shall be appointed by the court. The Arbitrator shall have authority to issue any and all remedies authorized by law. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 2 et seq., and the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.
