Terms

Placeholder for legal review. These terms name the operator as HandoverLink (operated by Patrick Rainville). Counsel should confirm the legal entity, governing law, and whether this text is fit to publish.

HandoverLink (operated by Patrick Rainville) operates HandoverLink, a private introduction service. Members remain responsible for verifying suitability, credentials, insurance, working arrangements, and legal obligations before entering an agreement.

Registration and responding to opportunities are free. Clinics pay a $60 USD yearly advertising subscription, plus applicable tax, to list an opportunity such as a practice for sale, an associate wanted, or coverage needed. It renews at the same annual rate. Advertising charges have not started; no new subscription begins without explicit consent. The subscription does not buy or guarantee a response, introduction, hire, or sale. Whether any match exists depends on who else is in the network and what they are looking for, which HandoverLink does not control.

Not a broker. HandoverLink is a matchmaking and introduction service. It does not value a practice, negotiate a sale or a hire, take a commission on a price, or represent either party. We earn from advertising subscriptions, never from your deal. The people involved handle the transaction with their own lawyer and accountant.

Every possible match is reviewed by a person at HandoverLink before anyone is introduced, and HandoverLink may decline to make an introduction at its sole discretion and without giving a reason. Members can also name people and practices they will not work with, and HandoverLink honours those instructions silently. This means a member may match with someone and never learn it: the other side may have declined, a conflict one side declared may have ruled it out, or HandoverLink may have refused it. HandoverLink does not tell either side which of these happened, or that anything happened at all. Not hearing about a match is an expected part of how the service works and is not a fault, an error, or grounds for a refund.

Location and distance information is approximate and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Members must confirm the work location and travel requirements directly before accepting an introduction.

References are supplied by the provider who names them. HandoverLink does not contact referees, does not collect or publish their opinions, and makes no representation about what a referee will say or about the accuracy of anything a member states. Speak to referees directly and reach your own conclusion before relying on them.

Star ratings are submitted by members after a completed placement and are shown only as an average, once enough have been given that no single rating can be identified. A rating is one member's opinion of one placement. HandoverLink does not verify, endorse, or adopt it, and it is not a professional-competence assessment. Concerns about a registrant's conduct or competence belong with their regulatory college, not with HandoverLink.

A paid advertising subscription is an annual term paid up front and renews at $60 USD plus applicable tax unless cancelled. Existing subscriptions retain the terms accepted at checkout until changed with the member’s consent. Cancelling stops the renewal; the membership continues to the end of the term already paid for, and terms already begun are not refunded. The advertising plan has no introductory price increase. Manage billing shows the details of any existing subscription. HandoverLink never sees or stores card numbers; payment details are held by the payment processor.

Confirm your profile every 30 days. Without confirmation, your profile and advertisements are hidden from new connections until you reactivate them. Pausing a profile does not cancel a subscription; use Manage billing to stop renewal.

Use HandoverLink only for lawful professional-capacity connections and never submit patient information.
