You will not: (a) make the Services, in whole or in part, available to any other person, entity or business; (b) copy, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Services, in whole or in part, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code to the software used by the Services; or (c) modify, combine, integrate, render interoperable, or otherwise access for purposes of automating data conversion or transfer, the Services or associated software with any other software or services not provided or approved by us. You will obtain no rights to the Services except for the limited rights to use the Services expressly granted by this Agreement.

2.2 The Services include certain third-party software, services, data or applications that may require that you enter into separate agreements with third parties. We may or may not actually (or be able to) provide copies of or links to such separate agreements. We may also make available optional services, either directly or through integrations with the Services, provided by third parties, such as billing, electronic prescribing, and clinical laboratory reporting services. You will comply with and, upon request, execute, any agreements or acknowledgments that may be required for the use of such software or services, and hereby agree to comply with the terms of any license or other agreement relating to third-party products included in the Services or made accessible to you through the Services. Additionally, your use of the Services or of such third-party products or services will constitute your agreement to be bound by the terms of all licensing, subscription and similar agreements relating to such use, including those third-party terms set forth.

2.3 Use Restrictions; Service Usage; Service Level and Data Storage.

You shall not, and shall not permit any other party to, access or use the Services except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and, in the case of materials owned or controlled by any third parties, the applicable third-party license or terms of use agreement. We do not guarantee uptime beyond a level of 99%, and are not responsible for downtime or outages due to circumstances beyond our control. We follow industry practices with respect to data storage, use, and backups, and will use our professional efforts to maintain and allow access to data in line with industry standards. However, in the event of any loss of data, we are not responsible for such loss or any consequences of such loss. Exhibit F sets forth Fees for any designated levels of usage and data storage, if any, (each a “Service Allocation”). If you exceed your Service Allocation for any relevant period, you shall also pay to us the applicable excess usage and storage Fees set forth in Exhibit F. If Exhibit F does not set forth specific excess usage fees, the default fee shall be 1.5x your standard monthly (pro rata, or actual) payment. You acknowledge that exceeding your then-current Service Allocation may result in service degradation for all parties to this Agreement along with their stakeholders, and agree that we have no obligation to permit any party to exceed its then-current Service Allocation. Otherwise, you acknowledge that we are only responsible for Service Allocation details and standards that are concomitant with reasonable industry practices; likewise, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any third party acts or failures that may impact your access to Services, or your Service Allocation, such as, but not limited to, failures of internet service providers, telecommunications failures, or hardware failures.

3. Access to the Services

3.1 Access Rights of Providers and their Authorized Workforce.

3.1.1 Provider of Record. We offer the Services to Providers and to natural persons who are members of such Providers’ Authorized Workforce, as more fully described in this Section. All persons who sign up for an account on behalf of a Provider must furnish, among other things, that Provider’s full legal name and fictitious business name(s) (i.e., trade name, d/b/a or “doing business as”) as part of the sign-up process. We treat the Provider in whose name the account is established as the owner of all User accounts associated with such Provider, and we call this Provider the “Provider of Record.” The Provider of Record may be changed in accordance with Section 19.1, “Amending Provider Information”.

The Provider of Record is a party to this Agreement for all purposes and shall be subject to all of the provisions that are applicable to the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement. Although a member of a Provider of Record’s Authorized Workforce may have signed-up for an account or electronically entered into this Agreement, or may continue to administer Administrative Rights on the Provider of Record’s behalf, only the Provider of Record is entitled to any of the rights, remedies or benefits under this Agreement and control over the Administrative Rights. The Provider of Record is likewise subject to, and we may enforce against it, all of the covenants, obligations, restrictions, limitations, acknowledgements, Consents, representations, warranties, waivers and releases included in this Agreement. The Provider of Record may delegate Administrative Rights to one or more members of the Provider of Record’s Authorized Workforce, but the Provider of Record remains responsible for all activity occurring thereunder.

3.1.2 Incomplete or inaccurate registration information. A Provider that has failed to complete the registration information sufficient to establish itself as the Provider of Record may not be able to access all of the Services. In addition, until such Provider completes such registration information, such Provider agrees and acknowledges that it is subject to, and we may enforce against it, all of the covenants, obligations, restrictions, limitations, acknowledgements, Consents, representations, warranties, waivers and releases set forth in this Agreement that are applicable to the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement, and such Provider hereby grants and makes all rights, waivers and releases set forth in this Agreement that are granted and made by the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement, but such Provider is entitled to none of, and hereby waives and agrees not to assert any of, the rights, remedies or benefits under this Agreement (other than our assurances and obligations in the DocStation Business Associate Agreement which such Provider shall have the right to enforce). Once a Provider’s registration has been submitted sufficient to establish its status as the Provider of Record, this provision shall cease to apply.

3.1.3 Authorized Representatives. An authorized representative of a Provider may obtain an account on behalf of such Provider, and may have administrative privileges on the account. We designate the person(s) authorized to act on behalf of a Provider the “Authorized Representative(s)” of such Provider. The Provider and Authorized Representative may be the same person. If you are establishing an account or taking any action with respect to a Provider’s account, you represent and warrant that (a) you have the authority to act on such Provider’s behalf either as owner/principal or as a member of such Provider’s Authorized Workforce, (b) the information you submit is complete and accurate, and (c) you have the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of such Provider and bind such Provider to the covenants, obligations, restrictions, limitations, acknowledgements, Consents, representations, warranties, grants, waivers and releases contained in this Agreement. If you are an Authorized Representative, you recognize that you have no personal rights with respect to such Provider’s account, and that such Provider may change the Authorized Representative at any time, for any or no reason, with or without notice.

3.1.4 Authorized Workforce. If you are a member of a Provider’s Authorized Workforce, and such Provider has authorized you to access the Services on its behalf by authorizing a Credential for you, then you are authorized under this Agreement to access the Services solely on behalf and at the direction of such Provider. As such, you may sign in and use the functionality of the Services solely on behalf and at the direction of such Provider. You hereby acknowledge and consent to any applicable DocStation Add-On Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy in the creation of any account. You further consent to and authorize the disclosure to such Provider any content related to, or otherwise generated by your use of the Services, including secure messages. You hereby agree and acknowledge that you are subject to, and we may enforce against you, all of the covenants, obligations, restrictions, limitations, acknowledgements, Consents, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement that are applicable to the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement, and you hereby grant and make all rights, waivers and releases set forth in this Agreement that are granted and made by the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement, but you are entitled to none of, and hereby waive and agree not to exercise or assert any of, the rights, remedies or benefits under this Agreement other than the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal right under this Section to sign in and use the functionality of the Services solely on behalf and direction of such Provider. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions in Section 16, you acknowledge that your access to the Services may be terminated by the Provider or us at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. By (a) accessing any of the Services under a Provider’s account(s), or (b) contacting us by any means and requesting or directing us to take any action with respect to any Provider’s account(s) or data held by such account(s), or (c) asserting any right or authority with respect to such account(s) or data, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to act on such Provider’s behalf and that you are not using the Services, or otherwise engaging in the activities described in clauses (a) through (c) above, for the benefit or at the direction, of any person or entity other than such Provider, including yourself.

3.2 Trial Use.

We also offer the Services on a limited basis to trial users under this Section. If you have signed-up for an account for the purpose of evaluating the Services or to use the Services for academic coursework (collectively, “Trial Use“), you may use the Services only in connection with such Trial Use. As such, you hereby agree and acknowledge that you are subject to, and we may enforce against you, all of the covenants, obligations, restrictions, limitations, acknowledgements, Consents, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement that are applicable to the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement, and you hereby grant and make all rights, waivers and release set forth in this Agreement that are granted and made by the person addressed as “you” in this Agreement, but you are entitled to none of, and hereby waive and agree not to exercise or assert any of, the rights, remedies or benefits under this Agreement other than the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal right under this Section 3.2 to sign-in and make Trial Use of the functionality of the Services. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions at Section 16, you acknowledge that your access to the Services may be terminated by us at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. You also hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that you at any time use the Services in the course of providing healthcare services to any individual or you enter any health information of any Individual, (a) your Trial Use license will immediately convert, without further action by either Party, to the relevant license described in Section 3.1 if the circumstances described in Section 3.1.1, Section 3.1.2 or Section 3.1.3 apply, or (b) if none of those sections applies, you are not authorized to access or use the Services, and must immediately cease such access or use.

3.3 Verification.

You agree that your use of the Services, or certain features or functionality of the Services, may be subject to verification by us of your identity and credentials as a health care provider or health care professional, and to your ongoing qualification as such. You agree that we may use and disclose Your Personal Information for such purposes, including making inquiry of third parties concerning your identity and professional and practice credentials. You authorize such third parties to disclose to us such information as we may request for such purposes, and you agree to hold them and us harmless from any claim or liability arising from the request for or disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions at Section 16, you agree that we may terminate your access to or use of the Services at any time if we are unable at any time to determine or verify your identity, qualifications or credentials.

We may receive remuneration in connection with presenting you with these Patient Support Programs or Support and Assessment Resources. In connection with offering or operating such Patient Support Programs or Support and Assessment Resources, we may share personally identifiable information about you for the purposes of program administration, and for assessing program eligibility, effectiveness or performance.

With your Consent, we will make your online health record for any patient you designate accessible to any other user of the Services or any third party whom you approve. You are responsible for properly obtaining such Consent. You may revoke such Consent at any time. While your Consent is in effect, an approved user may view, edit or otherwise alter any health record you have designated for his or her use. If you revoke your Consent, the approved user will continue to have the ability to view the health record in the form in which it existed at the time you revoked your Consent, but will not be able to view changes made to the record thereafter, and will not be able to edit the record. The same rules apply to your use of another user’s record who approves access by you. You and your Authorized Workforce are fully responsible for the information in any chart that you share. You or your Authorized Workforce should not share patient information that violates any state or federal law. In any event, but especially in cases of potential fraud, misuse or abuse of the Services, we reserve the right, in our sole judgment, to revoke, remove, cancel or deny continued access to any health record or any DocShare request.

4.5 Provider Directories.

We may include your Directory Information (defined below) in our (a) “Public Provider Directories,” which are electronic directories for patients and the general public; and (b) “Professional Provider Directories,” which are electronic directories for Providers and other members of the healthcare community ((a) and (b) collectively, “Provider Directories”). Provider Directories may be made available in various electronic formats, including searchable databases, Provider landing pages, interactive reference tools, reference lists, and integrated look-up features, among others. They may also incorporate information designed to help users, such as integrated maps, and licensure confirmation tools, among others. Provider Directories may include a “contact” feature that allows users to contact other users directly through the Services. Our Public Provider Directory may be made available to public search engines to aid Provider discovery. Listing in the Provider Directories is subject to eligibility criteria, which may differ between the Public Provider Directory and Professional Provider Directory. A Provider’s “Directory Information” includes the Provider’s name, name(s) of pharmacists, physicians or other healthcare professionals associated with a Provider, associated specialties, Provider’s business telephone number(s) and physical address(es), National Provider Identifiers (or NPI), and the Provider’s available appointment slots, as each is indicated from information a Provider has inputted or imported into the Services. The Directory Information may include additional information you input or upload into profile tools we make available in the Services (such as a profile photograph, accepted insurance, available office hours, a front desk email address, and the like), as and when such tools are available.

We will enable Clinical Data Exchange between You and your business associate(s) or those HIPAA-covered entities (and their respective business associates), including health systems, Accountable Care Organizations, and payers, who desire to transmit such data to you with respect to patients they have a treatment or payment relationship or with whom you have Consented to provide such data (all third parties collectively referred herein as “Transmission Partner”). While such transmission integrations are in effect, such Transmission Partners may send and receive clinical data to and from your account on a routine and recurring basis. You may disable an integration with any Transmission Partner by contacting us through one of the methods described in Section 28, but any clinical data already received by such Transmission Partner will remain in its possession, subject to the terms of your independent agreements with such Transmission Partner, if any. You are solely responsible for ensuring that You have all necessary consents from Your patients applicable to the sharing of any of Provider Health Information under applicable laws and regulations with respect to each Transmission Partner with whom you have Consented to share any information under this Section 4.6.

Such information may identify you but will not identify any individual to whom you provide services. Such information may include aggregated data concerning your patients, diagnoses, procedures, orders and the like.

6. Support and Assessment Resources

We may also present to you, through the Services or through the use of Your Information, the opportunity to utilize or engage in clinical decision support or assessment resources or informational programs (“Support and Assessment Resources,” which may also include, for the avoidance of doubt, Patient Support Programs (as previously described in Section 4.1.12) or the Medicare Part D Enhanced Medication Therapy Management Model Test.

In connection with offering or operating such Support and Assessment Resources, we may share personally identifiable information about you for the purposes of assessing program eligibility, effectiveness or performance with partners who are subject to confidentiality obligations. Additionally, if you choose to engage or utilize one of the Support and Assessment Resources, you may be asked to provide personal information that may be used to supplement Your Information as well as information gathered as part of the program itself (e.g., responses to surveys). This information will be used to provide the content or services described in the Support and Assessment Resources or provide you with any gift or honoraria associated with the program. If you receive remuneration for participating in a sponsored survey, for example, we may be required to provide the funding source or sponsor with information about you for its recordkeeping, regulatory reporting or measurement purposes.

8. Individuals’ Rights

You are solely responsible for ensuring you have sufficient authorization and consent to provide patient information in the Services and affording individuals their rights with respect to relevant portions of Provider Health Information, such as the rights of access and amendment. You will not undertake to afford an individual any rights with respect to any information in the Services other than Provider Health Information.

In maintaining, using and affording access to Provider Health Information in accordance with this Agreement, we will, in accordance with the requirements of HIPAA, as such requirements are informed by the guidance given by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, CMS, or any other relevant office of authority, agree to the terms of the Business Associate Agreement in substantially the same form as provided. Furthermore, we agree that at termination of this Agreement we will furnish to the Provider of Record a copy of Provider Health Information in an electronic form that is accessible through commercially available hardware and software. You may have to purchase such hardware and software from third parties in order to access your data, and you may have to configure your systems in order to use your data in your practice. Upon termination we will, if feasible, return or destroy all Protected Health Information received from, or created or received by us on your behalf that we still maintain in any form, and retain no copies of such information; or, if such return or destruction is not feasible (whether for technical, legal, regulatory or operational reasons), extend the protections of this Agreement to the information and limit further uses and disclosures to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the information infeasible. You acknowledge that if you have approved, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, other users of our Services (such as your patients or other providers) or their respective business associates, we will continue to make such information and data available to such users pursuant to the terms of the agreements we have with them.

Additionally, we may allow you to access the Third-Party Services, or integrate the Services you receive from us with such Third-Party Services using your Credentials that allow you to receive services or information from such Third-Party Services. Although we may receive remuneration from the operators or sponsors of these Third-Party Services, we do not endorse any Third-Party Services and you are responsible for evaluating any Third-Party Services prior to signing-up for, accessing, or integrating them (including any information) with the Services you receive from us.

You should assume that any Internet page or other material that does not bear the official DocStation logo is provided by a third party. You should review the applicable terms of any agreement, terms of use and privacy policies of any Third-Party Services, since they are subject only to the agreements you have with the operators of such Third-Party Services, and not covered by this Agreement.
