  3. Term and Termination:

(a) Term.

The Licensee may stop using CareSignal or CareSignal SaaS at any time.

(c) Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for whatever reason, the license granted under this Agreement to use the CareSignal SaaS is immediately revoked. TERMINATION SHALL NOT RELIEVE THE LICENSEE AND AUTHORIZED USERS OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND UPDATES.

(d) Payments Not Excused. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event of termination as a result of the Licensee's failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, Licensee shall continue to be obligated for any payments due as of the date of termination. If the termination is the result of a breach or default by CareSignal, CareSignal shall refund a pro rata portion of any prepaid fees for periods after the date of termination. Termination of the license shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any equitable and/or legal remedies available to CareSignal.

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

  1. Business Associate Agreement:This agreement shall include the Business Associate Agreement, as follows.

This Business Associate Agreement ("Agreement") is effective upon agreeing to the End User License Agreement and is entered into by and between you, the user of the Site (“Covered Entity” or “User”) and Epharmix, Inc. d/b/a CareSignal (the “Business Associate”).

10.1. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect for the duration of the Task Order the Business Associate has with the Covered Entity, and shall apply to all of the Services and/or Supplies delivered by the Business Associate pursuant to this Agreement.

10.2. HIPAA Assurances. In the event Business Associate creates, receives, maintains, or otherwise is exposed to personally identifiable or aggregate patient or other medical information defined as Protected Health Information ("PHI") in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or its relevant regulations ("HIPAA") and otherwise meets the definition of Business Associate as defined in the HIPAA Privacy Standards (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164), Business Associate shall:

    • Recognize that HITECH (the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009) and the regulations thereunder (including 45 C.F.R. Sections 164.308, 164.310, 164.312, and 164.316), apply to a business associate of a covered entity in the same manner that such sections apply to the covered entity;
    • Not use or further disclose the PHI, except as permitted by law;
    • Not use or further disclose the PHI in a manner that had Business Associate done so, would violate the requirements of HIPAA;
    • Use appropriate safeguards (including implementing administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic PHI) to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of and to prevent the use or disclosure of the PHI other than as provided for by this Agreement;
    • Comply with all applicable requirements of 45 C.F.R. Part 162 if the Business Associate conducts Standard Transactions for or on behalf of the Covered Entity;
    • Report promptly to you, the user, any security incident or other use or disclosure of PHI not provided for by this Agreement of which Business Associate becomes aware;
    • Ensure that any subcontractors or agents who receive or are exposed to PHI (whether in electronic or other format) are explained the Business Associate obligations under this paragraph and agree to the same restrictions and conditions;
    • Make available PHI in accordance with the individual’s rights as required under the HIPAA regulations;
    • Account for PHI disclosures for up to the past six (6) years as requested by Covered Entity, which shall include:
      • (1) Dates of disclosure, (2) names of the entities or persons who received the PHI, (3) a brief description of the PHI disclosed, and (4) a brief statement of the purpose and basis of such disclosure;
    • Make its internal practices, books, and records that relate to the use and disclosure of PHI available to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services for purposes of determining Customer’s compliance with HIPAA; and
    • Incorporate any amendments or corrections to PHI when notified by Customer or enter into a Business Associate Agreement or other necessary Agreements to comply with HIPAA.

10.3. Termination upon Breach of Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Covered Entity may immediately terminate this Agreement if it determines that Business Associate breaches any term in this Agreement. Alternatively, Covered Entity may give written notice to Business Associate in the event of a breach and give Business Associate five (5) business days to cure such breach. Covered Entity shall also have the option to immediately stop all further disclosures of PHI to Business Associate if Covered Entity reasonably determines that Business Associate has breached its obligations under this Agreement. In the event that termination of this Agreement and the Agreement is not feasible, Business Associate hereby acknowledges that the Covered Entity shall be required to report the breach to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or Agreement to the contrary.

10.4. Return or Destruction of Protected Health Information upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, unless otherwise directed by Covered Entity, Business Associate shall either return or destroy all PHI received from the Covered Entity or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity in which Business Associate maintains in any form. Business Associate shall not retain any copies of such PHI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Business Associate determines that returning or destroying the Protected Health Information is infeasible upon termination of this Agreement, Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity notification of the condition that makes return or destruction infeasible. To the extent that it is not feasible for Business Associate to return or destroy such PHI, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration and such PHI shall be used or disclosed solely as permitted by law for so long as Business Associate maintains such Protected Health Information.

10.5. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement shall apply only to themselves and are not for the benefit of any third party beneficiaries.

10.6. De-Identified Data. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, Business Associate and its subcontractors may disclose non-personally identifiable information provided that the disclosed information does not include a key or other mechanism that would enable the information to be identified.

10.7. Amendment. Business Associate and Covered Entity agree to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to allow either party to comply with the Privacy Standards, the Standards for Electronic Transactions, the Security Standards, or other relevant state or federal laws or regulations created or amended to protect the privacy of patient information. All such amendments shall be made in a writing signed by both parties.

10.8. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits Covered Entity to comply with the then most current version of HIPAA and the HIPAA privacy regulations.

10.9. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them as outlined in HIPAA and its related regulations.

10.10. Survival. The obligations imposed by this Agreement shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
