Other than as expressly provided by this Agreement, any attempted assignment, by operation of law or otherwise, shall immediately terminate this Agreement.

Confidentiality

You will treat information received in connection with Physicians Anonymous Inc. as confidential and proprietary business information.  You will maintain the confidentiality of all such information and will disclose it to third parties only with the expressed written consent of Physicians Anonymous Inc..

Conversely, we will treat your personal information confidentially. That is, if you decide to sign up as an anonymous Coach or Mentor, we will honor your wish and make only your pseudonym and avatar public on our site, and not your actual name or photo.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

This Agreement sets forth the parties’ final and entire agreement with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral.

Scope of work for services offered by coaches and mentors

You will perform individual or group coaching or mentoring services for physicians, residents, and/or medical students, through Physicians Anonymous: https://stage4pa.physiciansanonymous.org/

You will have your own liability insurance or similar insurance, and in case of any legal dispute between you and your clients, you will take all and full responsibility and will take all necessary actions to resolve such disputes.

You will perform your coaching or mentoring services in accordance with your own coaching or mentoring practices.

You will at all times have a protocol for dealing with a client who is at risk of harm to self or others. This protocol may include, but not be limited to, advising the client to contact their local mental health crisis service, therapist, psychiatrist, Emergency Room, dial 911, or the National Suicide Prevention Line on 988.

You cannot solicit clients to perform financial services for them or sell any products (including but not limited to real estate, financial products, or dietary supplements), or services other than the coaching or mentoring services described in this Agreement.

You will provide your coaching or mentoring services through https://stage4pa.physiciansanonymous.org/, as follows:

  • Physicians Anonymous Inc. will provide a profile page template to you, and you will fill out and submit to Physicians Anonymous Inc. this profile page with information about you and your coaching or mentoring services.
  • Physicians Anonymous Inc. will create a Coach Profile page or Mentor Profile page for you on https://stage4pa.physiciansanonymous.org/ based on the information that you provided.
  • You will send to Physicians Anonymous Inc. a copy of your credentials in order to have your coach or mentor profile activated

Booking/scheduling and payment processing

Clients book/schedule their individual or group sessions via the your Coach Profile page or Mentor Profile page.

If you do not have your own payment processor or scheduler, Physicians Anonymous Inc. can provide information on how to set them up. Physicians Anonymous Inc. may provide technical assistance to you to set up their scheduling and payment processing platforms for an hourly fee of $150 (one hundred and fifty USD) upon your request.

Setup and subscription

As a special courtesy, Physicians Anonymous Inc. will waive the one-time setup fee of $100 (one hundred USD) to cover the expenses of setting up your Coach Profile or Mentor Profile page and add your scheduler link(s) to your profile page.

Physicians Anonymous Inc. will also waive the Coach / Mentor monthly membership of $100 (one hundred USD).

As such, signing up through this link is free.

Additional work orders

Services and the specific details of each assignment or task (“Services”) that are in addition to this Agreement may be separately negotiated and specified in a written work order on terms acceptable to the parties thereto in a “Work Order”.  Upon execution by the Parties, each Work Order will constitute an integral part of this Agreement.  No Services additional to this Agreement shall be commenced and neither Party shall be obligated with respect to any assignment or task until an applicable Work Order has been executed by both parties, nor shall either party be obligated to enter into any Work Order hereunder.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Work Order, this Agreement shall control except to the extent that the applicable Work Order expressly and specifically states an intent to supersede a specific matter. 

Non-solicitation Agreement

You agree that during the period while you perform the coaching or mentoring services as described in this Agreement, and for two (2) calendar years following resignation, non-renewal, or termination of this Agreement, you will not encourage, solicit, or otherwise attempt to recruit, persuade, or entice away, directly or indirectly, any Physicians Anonymous client, coach/mentor, or payor to terminate their relationship with Physicians Anonymous Inc. and divert them to their own or somebody else’s practice, thereby eliminating Physicians Anonymous Inc. as an intermediary. If this happens, Physicians Anonymous Inc. will have the right to seek legal remedy.

Physicians Anonymous Inc. has spent considerable time, energy, and money launching and maintaining the Physicians Anonymous website and brand, advertising, and attracting clients. Therefore, diverting clients, coaches/mentors, or payors would cause direct business loss and diminished return on investment to Physicians Anonymous Inc.
