NON-SOLICITATION OF PROFESSIONALS BY PRACTICES
Users acknowledge and agree that, in reliance upon the protective covenants set forth in this User
Agreement, Gig is providing Practices with valuable proprietary information through the Gig Platform
concerning Professionals seeking work as veterinary professionals and is providing Professionals with
valuable information through the Gig Platform concerning Practices seeking Professionals who are willing
and able to provide veterinary services. Users further acknowledge and agree that the creation and
Terms of Service and User Agreement (Rev. 732AR44)
operation of the Gig Platform required and requires the utilization of substantial resources by Gig and that
Gig would not facilitate the matching of Practices and Professionals, and the attendant exchange of
proprietary information in the absence of any restrictive covenants and that any restrictions set forth in
this document are reasonable.
Accordingly, (a) each Hospital agrees that it shall not, except with the prior express consent of Gig, hire or
offer to hire as an employee, or retain or offer to retain as a contractor to perform Gigs, whether on a full-
time or part-time basis, to any Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician (licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary

twelve month period prior to such offer, hire or retention, and (b) each Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician
(licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or Hospital Manager agrees that he or she shall not,
except with the prior express consent of Gig, accept any offer for employment as an employee, or accept
any offer for retention as a contractor on an recurring basis, whether on a full-time or part-time basis, or

or offered to perform any Veterinary Services for Gig or with which he or she has come into contact
through the Gig Platform.
Each Hospital and Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician (licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or
Hospital Manager acknowledges and agrees that any decision by Gig to consent to any waiver the

unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or Hospital Manager who has performed or offered to perform any
Veterinary Services for such Hospital for a Gig or with whom such Hospital has come into contact through

REFER TO THE DISINTERMEDIATION POLICY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
There are significant differences in being classified as an “independent contractor” rather than an
“employee.” One important difference is that!The Fair Labor Standards Act!the federal law that requires
minimum wage and overtime pay only applies to employees. Independent contractors are not covered.
This means that independent contractors do not have to be paid time and a half for working overtime. As
a result, employers have a significant economic incentive to misclassify employees as independent
contractors, and often do in an attempt to avoid paying overtime wages. Additionally, employers must pay
social security, Medicare, workers compensation for!on the job injuries!and unemployment taxes on
wages of employees. Independent contractors are individually responsible for paying income tax and self-
employment taxes.
Merely labeling a worker an independent contractor or having them sign an agreement does not
necessarily make them an independent contractor and not entitled to overtime. Because it is not always
clear whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor, multiple factors are considered.
There is no set number of factors that qualifies a worker and this determination must be made on a case-
by-case basis.
Factors indicating that a worker is an employee:
• Employer has the right to direct and control the worker (even if he does not do so)
• Paid on an hourly, weekly, or monthly basis
• Uses equipment, tools, and materials provided by the employer
Terms of Service and User Agreement (Rev. 732AR44)
• Receives predetermined earnings and cannot realize significant profits or loss
• Schedule dictated by the employer
• Trained by the employer, either formally or informally
• Receives benefits, such as insurance, pension, or paid vacation or sick leave
• The relationship between employer and worker is ongoing – not on a job or!project basis
Factors indicating that a worker is an independent contractor include:
• A contract stating the worker is an independent contractor, although this is not determinative
• Free to determine how the work gets done
• Paid for each individual job
• Uses his own equipment, tools, or materials
• Can personally realize significant profits or losses in the business
• Works temporarily or on individual jobs
Independent Contractor Misclassification.
Depending on the state, the Department of Labor finds that 11 to 30 percent of employers!misclassify at
least part of their workforce as independent contractors. Why so common? Because companies can save
up to 30 percent in pay, taxes, and benefit payments per individual!by paying them as contractors not
employees.
Some states are tightening laws and regulations to stop employers from misclassifying their employees.
For example,!California!passed a law last year to declare app drivers employees of the platforms that
profit from them, and Uber and Lyft drivers have won court cases in states such as!New
York!and!Pennsylvania!acknowledging that the drivers are employees.
Terms of Service and User Agreement (Rev. 732AR44)
Even if an employer improperly classifies an employee as an independent contractor, it can still
potentially escape the tax obligations if there was a reasonable basis for doing so. Examples of a
reasonable basis include:
• A longstanding, widely recognized practice of treating similar workers as independent contractors
• A court ruling treating workers in similar circumstances as independent contractors
• An IRS Revenue Ruling stating that similar workers are not employees
• A previous IRS payroll audit that did not determine that similar workers are employees
While an employer may be able to escape tax obligations, it will not be able to escape its overtime pay
law obligations to the workers it misclassified. So long as the workers assert their claim within the
applicable statute of limitations, they will be able to recover their!unpaid overtime!wages (potentially
double), despite the reasons or beliefs that led the employer to improperly classify them as independent
contractors.
A worker can get an official determination from the IRS on whether he is an employee or independent
contractor by!filing a form SS-8, although the process can take up to six months.
PAYMENT OF SHIFT COMPENSATION TO VETERINARIANS AND VETERINARY TECHNICIANS
You are entitled to Gig Compensation for each Shift that you work as a Veterinarian, Veterinary
Technician (licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or Hospital Manager. Payment will be made
by direct deposit using the banking information you provide through the GigCorp, LLC user Platform. You
acknowledge that if the banking information you provide through the GigCorp, LLC user Platform is
incorrect or incomplete, or if you fail to keep it up to date, the payment of Gig Compensation may be
misdirected or delayed.
The “Shift Compensation” or “Gig Compensation” consists of the amount or rate agreed by you and the
Hospital at the time you and the Hospital agree to the Shift. GigCorp, i.e. “Gig,” reserves the right to
adjust or withhold all or a portion of a Shift Compensation or other payment owed to you (i) if it believes
that you have attempted to defraud or abuse the Hospital, GigCorp, LLC or its payment systems, or (ii) in
order to resolve a complaint raised by a Hospital (e.g., a Hospital alleges that you did not perform the
Terms of Service and User Agreement (Rev. 732AR44)
Veterinary Services in accordance with the requirements of this User Agreement or the terms specified for
the Gig). GigCorp, LLC’s decision to adjust or withhold the Gig Compensation or other payment in any
way shall be exercised in a reasonable manner. GigCorp will use reasonable efforts to ensure that your
Gig Compensation and any other payments to you will be paid to you on a regular basis as specified in
the GigCorp, LLC user Platform. You acknowledge and agree that all payments owed to you shall not
include any interest and, to the extent that “Gig” is at any time required by law to withhold any amounts,
you authorize it to do so.
PAYMENT OF SHIFT COMPENSATION BY HOSPITAL
In exchange for the use of the Gig Platform and the services provided by GigCorp, LLC, you agree that
“Gig” shall receive a service fee (“Gig Fee”) for each Gig for which a Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician
(licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or Hospital Manager is matched with a Hospital to
perform Veterinary Services through the GigCorp, LLC user Platform. The Gig Fee for each Gig shall be a
determined amount (or an amount that can be determined from the information supplied by the
Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician (licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or Hospital Manager
and the Hospital prior to the agreement to the Gig) as displayed to the Hospital through the Gig Platform
at the time of the acceptance of the Gig. In addition, you agree that Gig shall be reimbursed for any third-
party charges (including processing fees) paid or payable by Gig in connection with any Shift (“Third Party
Fees”). You agree that Gig has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by
posting applicable pricing terms in the Gig Platform or quoting you an amount or rate for any Gig at the
time you make a request. You are responsible for reviewing, and remaining familiar with, the applicable
price quote within the Gig Platform and shall be responsible for all charges incurred under your account
regardless of your awareness of such charges or the amounts thereof. You also expressly authorize Gig’s
service providers, TMGvets, Inc. or Stripe, to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account.
For each Shift, the Hospital agrees to pay “GigCorp” or “Gig” the sum of (a) all compensation Gig is
required to pay to the Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician (licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant,
or Hospital Manager performing the Shift, including the Gig Compensation payable to the Veterinarian,
Veterinary Technician (licensed and unlicensed), Veterinary Assistant, or Hospital Manager performing the
Shift and, if applicable, any required withholding or other taxes, (b) the Gig Fee for the Shift, and (c) any
applicable Third Party Fees.
All such payments shall be made in accordance with “Payment Methods” set forth below. Each Hospital
acknowledges that the establishment through the Gig Platform of a payment mechanism in accordance
with our “Payment Methods” is a prerequisite to utilizing the functionality of the Gig Platform.

With Company
A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Website and Company Services
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without
regard to conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal
dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any
action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in Montgomery
County, State of Texas, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal
jurisdiction with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
excluded from this Agreement. Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer Information
Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim, action or
proceeding by you related in any way to the Website or Company Services be instituted more than two
(2) years after the cause of action arose.
B. Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim
related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any
Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least ten (10) days before
initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written
notice from one person to the other.
C. Binding Arbitration. If you and Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, either you or Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one
party shall be final and binding on the other.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE
IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Terms of Service and User Agreement (Rev. 732AR44)
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at
the AAA website www.adr.org.
The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share
of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate,
limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive,
Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or
online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons
unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be
challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take
place in Montgomery County, State of Texas. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and
Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to
confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
D. Restrictions. You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between
Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with
any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to
utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a
purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
E. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Company agree that the following
Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding
arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or
Company’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft,
piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. If this Section is
found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute
falling within that portion of this Section found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be
decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and you and
Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
The policy of Our Company is to provide a marketplace for veterinarians to find jobs that operate their
business in the safest possible manner. The personal safety of our hospital partners and contractors, as
well as the safety of their fellow employees and others, is essential. Therefore, it is the obligation of each
and every veterinarian to know and follow the Safety Rules and Procedures of the hospitals worked; to
teach what we know to others; to recognize unsafe acts or hazards and be responsible to take the
necessary steps to control the conditions; to warn others of unsafe situations; and to react to emergency
situations.
The demands of production or any other activity must not overshadow safety requirements. All
equipment, processes and facilities our our hospital partners should be designed to be constructed,
operated, and maintained in a safe condition. This type of safe and healthful work environment will be the
result of complete co-operation; positive, prompt actions and an absolute commitment from all.
Our veterinarians are our most valuable assets. It is our policy that every person is entitled to a safe and
healthful place in which to work. Establishment and maintenance of a safe environment is the shared
responsibility between the hospital and contractors at all levels. To this end, every reasonable effort will
be made in achieving the goal of accident prevention and health preservation.
Our philosophy is oriented toward affirmative control and minimization of risk to the greatest extent
possible. We have a basic responsibility to make the safety of veterinarians a part of our concern. We will
be counting on you to do your part in making our program an effective one. The success of the company
will depend not only on problem solving, but also how safely each job is performed. The hospital will vow
to aggressively pursue a plan to minimize pain and suffering of an injured worker, and return him/her to
active work duties as soon as possible.
If you have questions, concerns, need assistance, further training, or have need for any particular form of
personal protection or safety equipment above and beyond what was provided to you in your workspace
at each hospital, please notify hospital management and Gig leadership so that they can be addressed.
If you are injured in any manner during any activity while on the job, you must notify the hospital , the
Practice Manager, or another senior staff member right away. If the injury is animal related document all
notes within the pet’s medical file. Report your injury to the hospital OSHA officer.
I, {Independent Contractor}, a contractor with Our Company have read and do understand the Safety
Policy as stated above. I understand that I may contact Gig leadership or the hospital administrator if I
have any safety needs, or if I have any concerns about my own safety or the safety of any of my
colleagues to report.
