APV Marketing shall neither have nor exercise any control or direction over the number, type or recipient of patient referrals made by physicians, and nothing in the Services Agreement or these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as directing or influencing such referrals. None of APV Marketing’s activities contemplated under the Services Agreement or these Terms and Conditions or otherwise shall constitute obligations of APV Marketing to generate patient flow or business to the Practice in a manner that is in violation of any applicable health care laws. Further, there is absolutely no intent for APV Marketing in any manner to be compensated to generate patients for the Practice. Rather, the Practice has engaged APV Marketing to provide the Services in order to enable the Practice to focus on delivering the highest quality of patient care.
