    PNT DATA SOFTWARE AND SERVICES AGREEMENT

    PNT Data Corp.

    Software, Services, and System User Agreement

     

    THIS SOFTWARE, SERVICES AND SYSTEM USER AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) GOVERNS USE OF, AND ACCESS TO, THE SOFTWARE, SERVICES AND/OR SYSTEM, AS DEFINED BELOW. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY! BY SIGNING IN THE SPACES PROVIDED AT THE END OF THIS AGREEMENT, CLICKING “ACCEPTED AND AGREED,” OR CONTINUING TO ACCESS AND USE THE SOFTWARE, SERVICES OR SYSTEM “YOU” (whether an Authorized Payer, Authorized Provider, Authorized Subcontractor, or other “Authorized User”) AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT RESTRICTION. THE AGREEMENT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND PNT DATA CORP. (“PNT” OR “COMPANY”) IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SOFTWARE, SERVICES OR SYSTEM.

    The terms of this Agreement apply to any and all uses of the Software, Services and System, including any revisions or new releases Company may provide in the future.

    Notwithstanding acceptance of this Agreement by any Authorized User, each Primary User shall be responsible for assuring that any other Authorized User that accesses or uses the Services and System for or on behalf of such Primary User does so in full compliance with this Agreement.

    IMPORTANT TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT:

    “Authorized Payer” means any health benefit plan, health insurance company, third party administrator for a health plan, or sponsor of a health plan (including a government entity sponsor) that is a party to an agreement (other than this Agreement) with Company, an Authorized Provider or an Authorized Vendor that authorizes such Payer to send or receive Authorized Transactions.

    “Authorized Provider” means any Participating Provider (e.g., physician, medical group, clinic, lab, hospital) that:  (1) submits or receives Authorized Transactions or other confidential information to or from Authorized Payers or Authorized Vendors, (2) meets Company’s participation requirements, and (3) is authorized by the Company to use the System.

    “Authorized Vendor” means any person or entity other than Authorized Payers or Authorized Providers that: (1) submits or receives Authorized Transactions to or from Authorized Payers or who assists Authorized Providers in doing so, (2) is engaged by an Authorized Payer or Authorized Provider to do so, (3) meets Company’s participation requirements and (3) is authorized by the Company to use the System. Examples of Authorized Vendors include claims clearinghouses, EMR vendors and Health Insurance Exchanges.

    “Authorized Transactions” means health insurance claims, health claim payment information, eligibility and benefits verifications, and related data that are transmitted to or from Authorized Users through the System (in whole or in part), and may include clinical data, immunization information, laboratory test results, patient charts, discharge summaries and other forms of healthcare information as may be agreed to by PNT with an Authorized Payer, Authorized Provider or Authorized Vendor.

    “Authorized User” means:

    (1) a Primary User;

    (2) any person, such as an employee, customer or subcontractor of a Primary User, or that is party to a contract or other arrangement with a Primary User, who is permitted to use the Services or System on behalf of or as a contractor with a Primary User pursuant to an arrangement between the Primary User and PNT, provided, however, that the Primary User is wholly responsible for any use of the Services or System by any Authorized User who uses the Services of System on behalf of, or pursuant to a contract with, such Primary User; or

    (3) any other person who is permitted to access the Services or System;

    provided any such user has accepted the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    “Content” means all text, images, information, user instructions, data, and other content included by Company in the System, including any Software, and on any Site.

    “Primary User” means an Authorized Payer, Authorized Provider or Authorized Vendor on whose behalf any other Authorized User accesses or uses the Services and/or System, or that is party to a contract or other arrangement pursuant to which another Authorized User is permitted to access or use the Services and/or System.  Use or access to the Services or System by one Primary User on behalf of another Primary User does not relieve either of them for responsibility hereunder.

    “Services” means services provided or arranged for by Company that enable Authorized Users to exchange Authorized Transactions. The Services include any access that an Authorized User may have to Company’s Site in order to utilize the Services or the Software.

    “Sites” means Company’s internet accessible portal at https://apps.pntdata.com/PortalLogin, its website at www.pntdata.com, and any successor or alternative to any of them, that is made available by Company, and through which Users, such as You, may access and use the Software, System and/or Services.

    “Software” means the proprietary software applications, including but not limited to the Doodad™ software application, developed or made available by Company for exchange of Authorized Transactions while utilizing the Services, or any other proprietary electronic technology system that Company makes available to facilitate delivery and performance of Services.

    “System” means the Sites, Software, Content and related applications, portals, electronic system elements, features and communications infrastructure made available by Company to enable Authorized Users to access and use the Services, Software and Content; and all modifications, enhancements, upgrades, updates and successors thereto.

    1. Regulatory Compliance
      1. General Duty of Compliance You will at all times use the System and the Services, and perform Your obligations under this Agreement, in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to provision of health care services and payment for such services, including in particular, but without limitation, laws relating to confidentiality of patient-related information, and laws governing medical services or supplies (collectively “Applicable Laws”); and shall ensure that anyone who uses the System and Services on your behalf does likewise.

     

    1. HIPAA Security and Privacy Without limiting the foregoing, You are responsible for ensuring that Your use of the System and the Services are at all times during the term of this Agreement in compliance with the security and privacy requirements of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), to the extent that You may have access to “PHI” as defined below; and for ensuing that anyone who uses the System or Services on your behalf does likewise.

    HIPAA is an important federal law that affects how healthcare organizations handle confidential health information. The privacy provisions of HIPAA, and regulations promulgated thereunder (45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164) regulate the fundamental principle of protecting patient confidentiality and privacy. The purpose of the HIPAA privacy provision is to define and limit the circumstances in which an individual’s protected health information (PHI) may be used or disclosed. HIPAA and its regulations specify that when PHI must be disclosed for healthcare operations, disclosure of PHI is limited to the “minimum necessary” standard – the minimum or least amount of information is disclosed that is necessary for the situation. PHI, whether oral, electronic or paper, must be protected at all times. HIPAA and related regulations (45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and C of Part 164) also includes provisions that address information security, requiring procedures are in place to ensure PHI is “secure” from unauthorized use/access, inappropriate destruction, etc.

    All users of this System, including You, must comply with HIPAA.  Therefore, none of them will access, distribute, discuss or read PHI, except in those situations where the information needs to be accessed, distributed, discussed or read in order to successfully complete a relevant job duty. In these situations, the information will be read and discussed discreetly and not shared in any way with others not needing the information. Any information that is printed containing PHI must be shredded thoroughly or secured in a safe, discrete location when done.  You must also use maintain the security of any PHI and prevent unauthorized use and/or disclosure of such PHI.

    NOTWITHSTANDING SECTIONS 12 AND 13 ABOVE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (A) COMPANY MAY USE AND STORE ELECTRONIC PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION ON ITS SERVERS AS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO OR FOR COMPANY’S CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING AUTHORIZED PAYERS, AND (B) COMPANY RETAINS A RIGHT TO MAINTAIN, COMBINE AND USE FULLY DE-IDENTIFIED AND AGGREGATED PATIENT OR MEMBER DATA, OR INFORMATION DERIVED FROM SUCH DATA, FOR RESEARCH AND ANY OTHER PURPOSE NOT PROHIBITED BY HIPAA OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW.

    1. Notices

    All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be effective: (i) when delivered by personal service; (ii) when delivered by telecopy/fax or overnight mail; (iii) three days after being deposited in the United States Postal Service at such address as may be designated in writing by the receiving party; or (iv) when the Authorized User first signs-on to utilize the Services after the time a notice is published by Company via the Site.

    1. Indemnification

    Company is not responsible for any violations by Your or any other Authorized User of any federal, state, or local law, regulation or order, or term of this Agreement or of any agreement or arrangement between You or any other Authorized User and any provider, payer, patient or other third party.  You agree to indemnify and hold Company harmless with respect to any damages, expenses or attorney’s fees incurred by Company, related to any such violations for which You or any other person using or accessing the Software, Services or System on Your behalf is responsible.

    1. No Warranties

    COMPANY WILL ENDEAVOR TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  HOWEVER, COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FOR THE SOFTWARE, SERVICES, OR SYSTEM HEREUNDER.  WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY STATED ELSEWHERE HEREIN, NEITHER COMPANY, NOR ANY OF ITS INFORMATION PROVIDERS, LICENSEES, COMPANYS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.  THE SERVICES ARE DISTRIBUTED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE USE OR OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, SERVICES OR THE CONTENTS, OTHER THAN THOSE WARRANTIES WHICH ARE INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. NEITHER COMPANY NOR ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES OR SYSTEM COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES OR SYSTEM PROVIDED UNDER THIS CONTRACT, INCLUDING DELIVERY OF THIRD-PARTY CONTENT. YOU SHALL ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THE SERVICES. COMPANY DOES NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS ANY AUTHORIZED USER MAY OBTAIN BY USING THE SERVICES, SYSTEM OR RELATED SOFTWARE. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, OR QUALITY OF ANY INFORMATION INCLUDING AUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS EXCHANGED WITH OR AMONG AUTHORIZED USERS, OR OTHER PRODUCT OR MATERIAL PROVIDED THROUGH USE OF THE SYSTEM OR ON THE INTERNET GENERALLY. COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT AUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS WILL BE PROCESSED OR ADJUDICATED BY AUTHORIZED PAYERS. COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE TIMEFRAMES INVOLVED FOR PROCESSING AUTHORIZED PROVIDER CLAIMS EXCHANGED VIA THE SERVICES WITH AUTHORIZED PAYERS.

    1. Limited Remedies
