This Application is intended to allow for the secure transmission of tasks, comments and patient context between medical providers to facilitate the collaboration and management of duties. You acknowledge and agree that you will only use the Application as licensed hereunder and for the purpose intended for the Application. You agree that you will not use the Application for any prohibited use. Prohibited uses include, but are not limited to: use of the product for a deceptive purpose, including for the impersonation of another; permitting another individual to use your account; use of the Application to harm or exploit minors; distribution of “spam”; advertisement or solicitation; use of the proprietary content, information or materials in any manner except as permitted under this Agreement; reproduction, modification, rental, loan, sale, distribution or creation of any derivative works of the Application; or, use of the Application to harass, abuse, stalk, threaten, defame or violate the rights of any other party.
You acknowledge and agree that the Application is provided under license, and not sold, to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Application under this Agreement, or any other rights thereto other than to use the Application in accordance with the license granted, and subject to all terms, conditions and restrictions, under this Agreement. Healtharc reserves and shall retain its entire right, title and interest in and to the Application, including all copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto, except as expressly granted to you in this Agreement.
You acknowledge that when you use the Application, Healtharc may use automatic means (including, for example, cookies) to collect information about your Device and about your use of the Application. You also may be required to provide certain information about yourself as a condition to using the Application or certain of its features or functionality, and the Application may provide you with opportunities to share information about yourself with others (collectively, any personal information processed by the Application on your behalf shall be referred to as your “Personal Information”) . All Personal Information we collect through or in connection with this Application is subject to our Privacy Policy [1].
By consenting to the terms of this Agreement, you are authorizing Healtharc to collect, use and disclose your Personal Information in order to provide you with access to and use of the Application. In addition, Healtharc may use your Personal Information for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy [1].
Although Healtharc may provide interfaces that can be configured and used to electronically upload PHI, as such term is defined in HIPAA and further described in our Privacy Policy [1], End User acknowledges and agrees that End User will be solely responsible for the content, accuracy, completeness, quality, integrity and legality of any and all PHI and other data uploaded by End User into the Application. Furthermore, End User is responsible for obtaining any necessary patient consents and authorizations in order to include the applicable PHI and other data uploaded by End User into the Application. End Users must make independent and informed decisions in full compliance with all applicable law prior to initiating or requesting patients to upload patient information and specifically must not upload any PHI or other data
(a) for which the applicable patient has opted out of being uploaded into Application; and/or
(b) for which applicable law requires a specific patient authorization or consent, where such authorization or consent has not been obtained by the End User. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, End User will not directly or indirectly use, disclose, access, upload and/or transfer to the Application, any AIDS/HIV, mental health, sexual health, addiction diagnoses or treatments or related patient data or other patient data for which the provider is required to acquire additional authorizations and/or separate written consents.Inviting a user to an “Organization” or "Module” within the Application will give that user access to the PHI contained within that Organization and/or Module. For the purposes of this Agreement, an Organization includes any end user that has been invited by an owner or administrator, irrespective of physical location or affiliation. Only the “Owner” of a Modules can invite and therefore give access to new members of a Module or administrators of a Module, as designated by the Owner of that Module. Owners (and its administrators by proxy) of a Modules are solely responsible for appropriate sharing of access to the Module and the PHI contained within the Module. Invitations to join an Organization will similarly allow access to the PHI contained therein and should only be shared with trusted individuals. Healtharc does not assume any responsibility or liability for any willful or unintended sharing of PHI with any unauthorized third parties by inviting access to an Organization or Module.
Healtharc may de-identify or anonymize your Personal Information (i.e., remove all information that could be used to specifically identify you to create “De-Identified Personal Data”) provided to us through the Application, and use that De-Identified Personal Data in aggregate or non-aggregate forms for research studies, evaluation of the Application services, quality improvement purposes, or for any other lawful commercial purpose. Healtharc's use and disclosure of any Personal Information and De-Identified Personal Data in aggregated or non-aggregated forms will be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You agree that:
(a) you consent to such disclosures and uses of De-Identified Personal Data;
(b) Healtharc is not obligated to pay any amount to you or otherwise compensate you or any other person in any way for such disclosures and uses;
(c) Healtharc is not required to furnish you with any other information of any kind regarding such disclosures and uses; and
(d) to the extent that you have a proprietary interest in any such De- Identified Personal Data, you waive any right to such interest and you waive any right to seek compensation for such disclosures or uses.
The Application is provided for access and use only by persons located in the United States. You acknowledge that you may not be able to access the Application outside of the United States and that access thereto may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries.

Healtharc is not responsible or liable to you in any way if information is intercepted by an unauthorized person, either in transit or at your home, business or other place of access.

(i) create more than one organization account to access the Application,
(ii) share your Login Credentials with any third party nor
(iii) transfer your account to any third party. Healtharc is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by you as a result of your failure to safeguard your Login Credentials.

You agree to provide, maintain and update true, accurate, current and complete Personal Information on the screens that collect information from you in connection with the Application, and represent that you will not misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or entity.

(b) DIRECT DAMAGES IN AMOUNTS THAT IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE APPLICATION.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR HEALTHARC WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
