The rules of the road, in plain English.
These terms govern your use of this site and your relationship with Innovative Medical Staffing. A separate signed agreement — a clinician contract or a facility staffing agreement — controls if anything here conflicts with it.
Draft — these terms are under legal review. The substance reflects how IMS operates today, but the language is provisional; the final version will be linked here at launch.
The service
Innovative Medical Staffing (IMS) provides healthcare-staffing services connecting qualified clinicians with healthcare facilities for locum tenens and similar engagements. This site describes the service, lists open opportunities, and offers ways to get in touch. Information on this site is general unless captured in a signed agreement between IMS and a clinician or facility.
No fees charged to clinicians
IMS does not charge clinicians a fee for placement or representation. Compensation to IMS is paid by the facility partner under a separate staffing agreement. Clinicians retain the right to engage directly with any facility outside the IMS relationship.
Recruiter relationship
Submitting a CV, contact form, or inquiry creates a non-exclusive, no-obligation working relationship with an IMS recruiter for the purpose of evaluating fit. It is not employment, an offer of employment, or a guarantee of placement. Either party may end the relationship at any time before a signed engagement.
Information accuracy
Clinicians and facilities must provide accurate, complete information. IMS facilitates credentialing and reference checks together with the facility's medical staff office and relies on the materials and references provided; reliance on materially false information may end the working relationship.
Site use
You agree not to access this site through automated means beyond ordinary search-engine crawling, interfere with the site infrastructure, or use the site to send unsolicited commercial messages to addresses harvested from it.
Intellectual property
Site content (copy, marks, illustrations) is the property of IMS or its licensors. You may share links to public pages and quote short excerpts with attribution; do not reproduce the site or substantial portions of it without written permission.
Disclaimer
Site content is provided on an as-is basis. IMS does not warrant the site will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, IMS disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, IMS's total liability arising out of or relating to your use of this site will not exceed the amount you paid IMS in the twelve months before the claim — which, for site visitors who pay IMS nothing, is zero. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, or personal injury or death caused by negligence.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution before filing a claim. Any unresolved dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Tarrant County, Texas — home to our Fort Worth offices — unless applicable consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction gives you a non-waivable right to a different venue.
Severability and modification
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. We may update these terms when our practices change or when the law requires it; the date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
