Governing law: Arizona

01 Parties & Definitions

This Master Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between ShiftMD, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("ShiftMD," "Provider," "we," or "us"), and the entity identified in the applicable Order Form ("Customer," "you," or "your").

This Agreement governs all subscriptions, professional services, and other commercial relationships between the parties. It supersedes any prior agreements, purchase orders, or understandings between the parties regarding the subject matter herein.

Key Definitions

  • "Service" — The ShiftMD AI scheduling platform, including all software, APIs, mobile applications, and related features accessible at app.shiftmd.co.
  • "Order Form" — A written or electronic document executed by both parties specifying the subscription tier, number of Seats, locations, fees, and term.
  • "Statement of Work" (SOW) — A document describing any professional services, implementation, or custom configuration to be performed by ShiftMD.
  • "Seat" — A single authorized user account (provider, medical assistant, front desk staff, billing staff, or administrator) within the Customer's account.
  • "Authorized User" — An individual employed by or contracted to Customer who has been granted access to the Service.
  • "Customer Data" — All data, content, and information submitted to the Service by Customer or its Authorized Users.
  • "Documentation" — ShiftMD's user guides, help articles, and technical specifications made available at shiftmd.co.
  • "Effective Date" — The date on which the applicable Order Form is executed or the date Customer first accesses the Service, whichever is earlier.

02 Scope of Services

Service Access

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and timely payment of all applicable fees, ShiftMD grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access and use the Service during the subscription term solely for Customer's internal business operations.

Subscription Tiers

The features and usage limits available to Customer are determined by the subscription tier specified in the applicable Order Form. Current tier definitions, including AI generation limits, Seat limits, and location limits, are published at shiftmd.co/#pricing and incorporated by reference.

Professional Services

If the parties execute a Statement of Work, ShiftMD will provide the implementation, configuration, or training services described therein. Professional services are provided separately from the subscription and are subject to the fees and timeline specified in the applicable SOW.

Updates & Modifications

ShiftMD may update, enhance, or modify the Service at any time. We will provide advance notice of changes that materially reduce functionality available to Customer under an active Order Form. Minor updates, bug fixes, and security patches may be deployed without notice.

03 Order Forms & Statements of Work

Each Order Form and SOW is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and an Order Form or SOW, the Order Form or SOW controls with respect to the specific terms addressed therein.

Self-Serve Orders

Customers who subscribe through shiftmd.co or app.shiftmd.co are bound by this Agreement upon completing checkout. The online subscription confirmation serves as the Order Form. These Terms of Service at legal.shiftmd.co/terms also apply to self-serve customers.

Negotiated Orders

Enterprise customers may execute a separate written Order Form with customized pricing, terms, or feature commitments. Negotiated Order Forms require written signature (electronic signature is acceptable) from an authorized representative of both parties.

Order Form Precedence

Any terms on a Customer purchase order or procurement document that conflict with this Agreement or an Order Form are void and have no effect, unless explicitly agreed to in writing by ShiftMD.

04 Fees & Payment

Subscription Fees

Customer agrees to pay all fees specified in the applicable Order Form. Subscription fees are due in advance — monthly fees on the first day of each billing month, annual fees on the anniversary of the Effective Date.

Invoicing

ShiftMD will issue invoices via email to the billing contact on file. Payment is due within 30 days of invoice date unless otherwise specified in the Order Form. Enterprise customers on annual contracts may request net-30 invoicing.

Overage Fees

Usage exceeding the limits defined in Customer's subscription tier (additional Seats at $12/month, additional locations at $99/month, AI generation overages at $1/generation) will be billed in arrears on the following invoice cycle.

Taxes

All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, GST, VAT, or similar taxes imposed on the transactions described herein, excluding taxes based on ShiftMD's net income.

Late Payments

Undisputed amounts not paid within 30 days of the due date may accrue interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower). ShiftMD reserves the right to suspend Service access for accounts with overdue balances after providing 10 days written notice.

Disputed Invoices

Customer must notify ShiftMD in writing of any disputed charges within 30 days of the invoice date. Undisputed portions of invoices remain due on the original payment date.

Price Adjustments

ShiftMD may adjust subscription pricing upon 60 days written notice to Customer. Price adjustments take effect at the start of the next renewal term. Pricing is locked for the current term under any active annual Order Form.

05 Service Levels

Uptime Commitment

ShiftMD targets 99.5% monthly uptime for the Service, excluding scheduled maintenance windows. Uptime is calculated as: (Total minutes in month − Downtime minutes) / Total minutes in month × 100.

Scheduled Maintenance

ShiftMD performs scheduled maintenance during off-peak hours (typically 2:00–4:00 AM Mountain Time on weekdays). We will provide at least 24 hours advance notice for maintenance windows expected to exceed 30 minutes.

Incident Response

  • Critical (Service unavailable): Initial response within 2 hours; status update every hour until resolved
  • High (Core feature degraded): Initial response within 4 hours; status update every 4 hours
  • Medium (Non-critical feature impacted): Response within 1 business day
  • Low (Minor issue or cosmetic bug): Response within 3 business days

Service Credits

If ShiftMD fails to meet the 99.5% uptime commitment in any calendar month, Customer may request a service credit equal to 5% of that month's subscription fee for each 0.5% below the target (up to a maximum credit of 30% of monthly fees). Credits are applied to future invoices and are Customer's sole remedy for uptime failures.

How to request a credit: Submit a written request to support@shiftmd.co within 30 days of the month in which the downtime occurred. Include the dates and duration of the impacted period.

A current list of subprocessors is available upon written request. ShiftMD remains responsible for the acts and omissions of its subprocessors to the same extent as its own.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a confirmed security breach affecting Customer Data, ShiftMD will notify Customer within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, to the extent permitted by applicable law. ShiftMD will provide reasonable cooperation in Customer's investigation and response efforts.

Data Return & Deletion

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, ShiftMD will make Customer Data available for export for 90 days. After that period, ShiftMD will delete Customer Data from its production systems, except as required by applicable law or its standard backup retention policies (maximum 30 additional days).
