Registry acknowledges that it is not authorized to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of, or in the name of University or to bind University in any manner.
Registry acknowledges that it is not entitled to any benefits, coverages or privileges applicable to employees, including, without limitation, medical, dental or life insurance coverage, workers' compensation coverage or participation in any University retirement plan. Registry agrees not to make any claim of entitlement to any such plan or program. All such benefits, if any, are the Consultant's sole responsibility.
The Services being provided are part of a business in which Registry is customarily engaged as an independently established business (either as a sole proprietorship, limited liability entity, partnership or other entity), separate from and unrelated to the University's business. The Consultant has agreed to provide the University with the Consultant's business card and website address, if available, prior to the commencement of the Services. The Registry's website is www.registryinterim.com.
Registry performs, and will perform, the Services according to a schedule it maintains, free from the University's control and direction with respect to the manner in which the Services are performed. The parties agree that any Services provided by Registry in connection with the placement of Consultant with the University, are not and will not comprise supervision by the Registry of the Services.
In the event that the definition of “employee” or “contractor” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and as interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service, or under applicable state law, is amended such that Registry becomes an employee of the University under applicable law, the parties agree that they will take such action as is necessary to ensure Registry’s continued status as an independent contractor or will terminate this Agreement.
A.) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof; provided however that it is meant to be read in conjunction and consistently with the placement agreement between Registry and Consultant relating to the performance of the Services. It shall supersede all prior agreements or understandings between the University and Registry or their agents, whether oral or written. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed in writing by either party hereto and shall be deemed rejected unless the party to whom any amendment is proposed accepts said amendment in writing within ten days after receipt of the proposed amendment. No oral agreement shall be effective to alter the terms of this Agreement.
B.) If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
