NAET® Student Agreement

I,_____________________________________, agree to terms and conditions of my instruction as follows:

1. I want to be instructed by Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D. (WI), D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. (Acu.) in her techniques on allergies (“NAET®”). NAET® includes devices and methods combined in a unique and surprisingly effective manner. NAET® includes new, unknown, or confidential devices and methods, or their combinations (“Trade Secrets”). All communications that I receive directly or indirectly from Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in any form, written, visual or oral, relating to NAET® shall be Trade Secrets. I will not directly or indirectly disclose, display, practice, use, or make available Trade Secrets to anyone. Not withstanding that restriction, I may administer the NAET® methods on persons that execute a written agreement as in the quoted, following paragraph:
   
   “___________________________________________(NAET® student / Practitioner’s name) might disclose information relating to NAET® to you. NAET® includes new, unknown, or confidential devices and methods, or their combinations (“Trade Secrets”). All communications disclosed directly or indirectly by__________________________________________(NAET® student / Practitioner’s name) relating to NAET® to you in any form, written, visual, or oral, shall
   be Trade Secrets. You will not directly or indirectly disclose, display, practice, use, or make available Trade Secrets to anyone. Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D. (WI), D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. (Acu.) is the owner of the Trade Secrets and may enforce your obligation about Trade Secrets in this agreement.”
   
   I shall keep the original, signed agreements in my possession. If my permission to practice NAET® is terminated under this agreement, I will return to Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D. (WI), D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. (Acu.) or destroy all Trade Secrets in any tangible form supplied to me, or prepared by me, in connection with the disclosure hereunder and any reproductions thereof which I may have made. The restrictions concerning Trade Secrets shall be effective from the first date I received any Trade Secrets. If after I receive Trade Secrets I develop or derive there from any improvement or other invention from such receipt, such improvement or invention shall entirely belong to Dr. Devi S.
   Nambudripad.
   
   
2. The goodwill and reputation of Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D. (WI), D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. (Acu.) that has been invested in NAET® is of great monetary value and has been built up since 1983. That goodwill and reputation will be irreparably damaged if anyone practices the methods of NAET® without proper instruction and authorization. I shall not practice or represent, directly or indirectly, that I practice the NAET® methods unless by specific written authorization from Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad that I am qualified to practice the NAET® methods. I shall immediately stop all practice of NAET® methods and any representations that I practice or integrate the NAET® methods upon receipt of a written notice from Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad that I am not qualified to practice NAET® methods. However, if I dispute that determination, I will have 15 days from the day I received that notice to show to the satisfaction of Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad that I am qualified to practice the NAET® methods. I shall at least attend one NAET® Advanced Level Training, Muscle Response Testing Re-certification annually, subscribe to the NARF newsletter, and attend an annual Symposium once in three years to maintain qualification to practice the NAET® methods.
   
   
3. I am a medical professional with years of education in the field of human anatomy, physiology and treatment of disease. I will use my best efforts as a medical professional to receive and entirely understand the NAET® devices and methods. I shall not deviate from any NAET® devices or methods as disclosed to me. I represent and undertake to be solely responsible for all use or disclosure of NAET® devices and methods.
   
   
4. Any deviation by me from the specific instruction received by me directly from Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D. (WI), D.C., L.Ac., Ph.D. (Acu.) for NAET® devices and methods shall require that I release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad and any of her affiliated businesses or associates in each and every case, including any case in which an indemnitee hereunder may be alleged or proven to have been negligent (including but not limited to active, passive, sole, joint, concurrent, comparative, and contractual), or otherwise legally liable (with or without fault or whether strictly liable or responsible for any defect, whether or not preexisting execution of this contract), from and against any and all liability or damages including, without limitation, any losses, damages, claims, liens, punitive and exemplary damages, expenses, court costs, attorneys’ fees, fines, penalties, judgments and settlements directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the use or disclosure of the NAET® devices or methods.
   
   
5. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, in connection with the subject matter hereof. No supplements or modifications or waivers or terminations of said agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound. No waiver of any provisions of the agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided in writing.
   
   
6. This agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of California. As to any dispute arising from, related to or otherwise in any respect under this agreement, it shall be determined by binding arbitration in Orange County, California, by one (1) arbitrator under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Administrative expenses of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties, although no party’s attorney’s fees or costs may be assessable against or to any other party regardless of the outcome of the arbitration. If arbitration is instituted, either party may engage in discovery upon any matter, not privileged, relevant to the dispute, claim or controversy. Such discovery shall be conducted under the California discovery statutes. Discovery may begin upon the commencement of selection of the arbitrator and shall be completed within ninety (90) days after selection of the arbitrator. The parties shall simultaneously file copies of their main briefs (which shall be no longer than thirty (30) pages excluding exhibits and attachments) with the arbitrator one hundred forty (140) days after the arbitrator has been selected, and the parties shall simultaneously file reply briefs (which shall be no longer than twenty-five (25) pages excluding exhibits and attachments) twenty (20) days after filing their main briefs. At the request of either party or the arbitrator, oral arguments shall be held before the arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after filing their reply briefs or as soon thereafter as the arbitrator is able to schedule the hearing.
