The Healing Collective Utah, Inc.
2464 Washington Blvd., Ogden, UT 84401
1. Independent Contractor Relationship
Contractor is and shall remain an independent contractor, and includes any individual or business entity that books, rents, or uses space at The Healing Collective Utah, Inc., whether as a member, non-member, or under any pricing tier, program, or access arrangement offered by the Collective. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, or agency relationship. Contractor is solely responsible for all taxes, licenses, certifications, insurance, and compliance with applicable laws. Anytime this agreement refers to a “Contractor,” that shall include member, non-member, or under any pricing tier, program, or access arrangement offered by the Collective.
Background Checks
The Collective reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require background and credential checks for all Contractors, including members and non-members, as a condition of access to the Premises.
Contractor hereby authorizes The Healing Collective Utah, Inc., or its designated agents, to conduct background and credential checks as reasonably necessary to verify qualifications and suitability for participation. The cost may be included in enrollment or membership fees.
Contractor understands and agrees that participation in The Healing Collective is contingent upon satisfactory background and credential check results.
The Healing Collective Utah, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny or revoke Contractor’s membership, access, or participation based on information obtained from any background or credential check, or if the Collective determines that such participation may pose a risk to clients, staff, or the community.
All enrollment and administrative fees are nonrefundable, including in cases where participation is denied or revoked as a result of background check findings.
Independent Business Acknowledgment
Contractor acknowledges that they are operating an independent business, and that no membership, room rental, or access arrangement alters this independent status. Contractor is solely responsible for building and maintaining their own client base, setting service prices, and conducting marketing. The Collective makes no representation or guarantee regarding the number of clients Contractor may obtain, income Contractor may earn, or outcomes of services provided.
Non-Employment Disclaimer
Contractor acknowledges that they are not an employee of The Healing Collective Utah, Inc. The Collective will not withhold taxes, provide benefits, or pay unemployment or workers’ compensation insurance. Contractor waives any claim to such benefits.
Workers’ Compensation Waiver
Contractor understands that they are not covered by The Healing Collective’s workers’ compensation policy and is responsible for obtaining personal coverage if desired.
2. Scope of Services and Compliance
Contractor shall only provide services for which they are trained, certified, and legally permitted, and shall ensure that all services are performed in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and professional standards. Contractors who are not licensed medical professionals shall not provide medical advice, diagnose, treat, prevent, or prescribe for any physical, emotional, or mental condition, and shall not represent or imply that their services constitute medical, psychological, or mental health treatment.
Contractors must refer clients to licensed medical or mental health professionals for emergencies or conditions outside their scope of practice and are solely responsible for determining when such referrals are appropriate.
Contractor acknowledges that The Healing Collective Utah, Inc. does not supervise, direct, control, or evaluate the services provided by Contractor and does not assume responsibility for the quality, safety, legality, or outcomes of such services.
3. Space Access, Scheduling, and Noise
Contractors may book furnished treatment rooms or other designated spaces (“Premises”) subject to availability and the Collective’s scheduling system and policies, whether booking as a member or non-member. Standard booking hours are 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. unless otherwise communicated by the Collective. Bookings must be made in accordance with the Collective’s then-current scheduling requirements.
Use of the Premises is temporary, non-exclusive, and limited to the specific time reserved through the Collective’s booking system. No tenancy, leasehold interest, or possessory right is created by this Agreement or by any booking. Contractors are solely responsible for scheduling, managing, and communicating with their own clients, and no booking creates any right to continued access or future availability.
The Collective does not guarantee the availability of specific rooms, spaces, equipment, or times and reserves the right to reassign rooms or modify access as reasonably necessary for operational, safety, or facility needs.
The Collective is a shared environment. While reasonable efforts are made to maintain a quiet and professional atmosphere, complete silence or soundproofing cannot be guaranteed. Contractors acknowledge the possibility of:
- Street and city noise due to location,
- Activity and noise from Encircle on the first floor,
- Sounds from adjacent rooms, common areas, and other tenants.
Contractors agree to communicate these potential environmental noises to clients as needed and may use white noise or other tools at their discretion.
4. Enrollment Fee
Contractors may be required to pay a one-time, nonrefundable enrollment or onboarding fee, in an amount determined by the Collective and published on its official website or booking platform, prior to being granted access to the Premises.

Such fee may include, as applicable:
- The Contractor’s first month of membership dues,
- Administrative and setup costs associated with onboarding, and
- A nonrefundable deposit toward room access and facility use.
All enrollment, onboarding, administrative, and access-related fees are nonrefundable under all circumstances, including early termination, withdrawal, denial of access, or revocation of participation, except where otherwise required by law.
Lost or compromised access credentials (such as keycards, fobs, or door codes) shall incur a replacement fee in the amount published on the Collective’s official website or booking platform. Contractors must immediately notify The Healing Collective Utah, Inc. of any lost, stolen, or compromised credentials so that access can be promptly deactivated to protect the security of all members and clients.
The Collective may, in its sole discretion, offer scholarships, discounts, or promotional pricing toward enrollment or onboarding fees.
5. Fees, Payments, and Pricing Authority
Contractor agrees to pay all fees, dues, rental charges, deposits, and other amounts required for access to or use of the Premises at the rates published on the Collective’s official website or booking platform at the time of booking or billing.
All pricing, rates, fees, and payment terms are subject to change at the Collective’s discretion and will be reflected on the Collective’s website or booking system. Contractor acknowledges that the website and booking platform constitute the sole authoritative source of current pricing. Pricing changes apply prospectively and do not affect bookings already paid for, unless otherwise stated at the time of booking. By booking space, maintaining access, or continuing participation after any pricing update, Contractor acknowledges and accepts the then-current published rates and terms.
Contractor agrees that no reliance may be placed on prior pricing, printed materials, proposals, or superseded exhibits.
6. Furnishings, Equipment, and Storage
The Collective provides standard furnishings and linens, including laundry services. Contractors may bring their own equipment and supplies, which must be removed immediately after each use.
