Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

At ModMed, our mission is to transform how healthcare information is created, consumed, and utilized to increase practice efficiency and improve patient outcomes. As such, privacy is very important to us and we strive to be transparent in our collection and use of your information.
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains what information we collect from or about you, how we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and your choices related to your information.
When we use terms like “ModMed”, “we”, “our”, or “us”, we are talking about Modernizing Medicine, Inc. and its affiliates (including Modernizing Medicine Gastroenterology, Inc., Modernizing Medicine Billing Services, LLC, Modernizing Medicine Data Services, Inc., Modernizing Medicine Podiatry Systems, Inc., Exscribe, Inc., and Modernizing Medicine Retail Solutions, Inc.). Also, when we talk about the “Services”, we are talking about all of our products and services, such as our websites (“Sites”), mobile applications (“Apps”), cloud-based or licensed on-premise electronic health records systems, including our Electronic Medical Assistant^® or EMA^® and gGastro^® systems and associated systems such as practice management systems (collectively, “Systems”), our reminder and other text messages services, self-service user portals, patient portals, etc.
For certain information provided to us through some Services (e.g., the Systems and related Services, such as Apps like our kiosks, PocketEMA, and APPatient, Sites like our patient portals and Communities, alert messages, etc.), we have entered into agreements with our clients (health care providers or their firms, “Providers”) that govern our use of such information (the “Transaction Documents”). This Privacy Policy supplements the Transaction Documents. To be clear, if you are a patient of a Provider, a visitor to one of our Sites, or otherwise accessing or interacting with any of the Services but are not doing so as a customer of ours under a Transaction Document, you are a user but not a customer of the Services (i.e., not a Provider), and some of the terms of this Privacy Policy won’t apply to you. Additionally, if you are a patient of a Provider, this Privacy Policy does not govern our use of Protected Health Information (as defined below) provided to us through the Services, including through your Provider’s patient portal and the APPatient App. Our use of such information is governed by the Transaction Documents with your Provider and applicable law, including without limitation HIPAA (as defined below). Your Provider’s collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of such information is governed, in turn, by your Provider’s terms and conditions and privacy practices between you and your Provider. Please submit all requests and questions related to your Protected Health Information directly to your Provider.
By using the Services, you are consenting to our collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is not a contract and does not create any contractual rights or obligations. Your use of the Services is governed by our Terms of Use.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you access and use the Services, we may collect the following types of information from you:

“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate you or that relates to you. Examples of Personal Information include your name, address, email address, telephone number, device information, employer, medical specialty, profession, biometric information such as your voice print and recordings, financial information, and practice and business information, including your communications history with us. Personal Information includes Location Information and may include Usage Data. In this Privacy Policy, we do not include Protected Health Information in the definition of “Personal Information” because, as mentioned above, Protected Health Information has different treatment under HIPAA and other applicable laws. Accordingly, it is handled differently under the Transaction Documents and, if you are a patient, your Protected Health Information is subject to your Provider’s terms of service and privacy practices.
“Location Information” is a type of Personal Information that can be used to locate the device you use to access the Services. Location Information includes (i) the location of the device derived from GPS or Wi-Fi use, (ii) the IP address of the device or internet service used to access the Services, and (iii) any other information you or others make available that indicates your current or prior location.
“Usage Data” is information that we automatically collect about your use of the Services and your device, such as your IP address; your device’s MAC address, web browser, operating system, device model and manufacturer; performance issues; or your activity on the Services. Usage Data is generally not Personal Information, but may be in some instances.
“Protected Health Information” is individually identifiable health information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”). See the definition of Personal Information above for more information on the treatment of Protected Health Information.

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

We collect the information you give to us, such as when you:
1. Contact us (e.g., to request a demo or support),
2. Register with, apply for, access, or use the Services, including when you submit information on the Services,
3. Visit our offices,
4. Apply for employment, or
5. Register for or attend webinars, conferences, or other events.
We automatically collect some information when you use the Services, such as Usage Data and when you enable the location services on your device when using the Services. With your consent, we may also collect information from certain native applications on your device (such as your device’s camera and photo album) to facilitate your use of certain features of the Services. You have the opportunity to grant or deny the App access to your photo album and other native applications. If you do not want us to collect Location Information from your device, please disable the location setting(s) on your device or, if you are using an App, delete the App. Please note that disabling the location setting on your device may affect certain features of the Services.
We may also obtain information about you from other sources, including the Internet and other publicly-available sources and databases, data aggregators, marketing companies, and other third parties. For example, if you are on a third-party website and request information from us, that website will send us your contact information. We may combine this information with the information you give us to help us tailor our communications or improve the Services.
You are not required to provide us with any Personal Information that we request from you. However, failure to provide such information may limit what we are able to do for you. For example, refusing to provide your email address may prevent us from providing you with important information about our Services.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use your information for the following purposes:
1. Provide You the Services and Fulfill Your Requests. We may use your information to verify your identity, register you, underwrite you as part of your application for payment processing services, administer your account, consider you for employment, or provide you the information, products, and services that you request. For example, we provide demos of the Services when you request them, respond to your questions when you contact us, assist with problems you report about the Services, or, if you visit one of our locations, we collect your name and other identifying information for purposes of security and visitor management.
2. Provide Services to Our Providers. If you are a patient of a Provider, we use your information when providing the Services to the Provider.
3. Communicate with You. We may use your information to try to identify if you may be interested in any of the Services or our business partners’ products and services. If we think something may interest you, we may send you information and promotional materials. You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing emails from us by or using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails or emailing us at [email protected].
4. Enhance Your Experience. We use your information to personalize and enhance your experience when you use the Services, such as tailoring content and advertising and remembering your preferences.
5. Improve the Services. Your information helps us improve the content and functionality of the Services. For example, we may (i) use our users’ demographics, interests, or behaviors to create new features and content, (ii) recreate or replay a user session to improve the user experience and to support the Services, or (iii) use your information if there is a Service performance issue.
6. In the Event of a Business Transaction: If we are exploring or go through a business transition or financial transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, securities offering, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, we may use your information in connection with exploring or concluding such transaction.
7. For Legal Purposes: We will use your information when we think it is necessary to investigate or prevent actual or expected fraud, criminal activity, injury or damage to us or others; when otherwise required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, warrant or similar legal process; or if necessary to assert or protect our rights or assets.
8. Sharing of Information. We may share your information internally and with third parties as further described in the How We Share Your Information section of this Privacy Policy.
We may link Usage Data to the Personal Information we have collected about you. If we link this Usage Data to your Personal Information, we will treat such linked Usage Data as Personal Information.
We may also de-identify your information or aggregate your information with other users of the Services (“De-Identified Information”). This De-Identified Information is not Personal Information because it cannot be used to identify you, and may be used by us for any lawful purpose.
Additionally, we may use your information for any other reason we tell you (i) when we collect it, (ii) in a Transaction Document, or (iii) in an authorization or consent.

We may also use your information to provide you with our SMS, email notifications, newsletters and other marketing communications that either you request from us or which you consent to by opting in when completing a registration form on the Service. You may opt out from receiving such marketing communications from us at any time by notifying us in writing, contacting us at [email protected] or, alternatively, by following the procedure to ‘unsubscribe’ that is specified in the email that you receive.

DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES

We and our vendors use cookies, pixel tags, log files, and other technologies (collectively, “Data Collection Technologies”) to help us provide the Services, tailor our content, identify which Services may interest you and inform you about such Services, and enhance your online experience. The Data Collection Technologies include:
1. Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive that collects and stores information about your equipment, preferences and browsing patterns. We use cookies to analyze web page traffic and usage patterns, and to tailor the Services to your individual interests. For more information about the cookies used on our Sites, please review our Cookie Notice.
2. Web Beacons. A web beacon (also referred to as clear gif, pixel tag or single-pixel gif) is a transparent graphic image used in tandem with cookies that enables us, our vendors, and our other business partners to record a user’s actions. We use web beacons to count and track users who have visited those pages, verify system and server integrity, for advertising, and for other statistical measures.
3. User Experience and Support Products. We use third-party products that track and recreate or replay user experiences using the Services. We use these products to improve the Services and to provide support for the Services.
4. Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with the Services. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with the Services, then collects that information and reports it to us, without individually identifying users. This information helps us improve the Services so that we can better serve users like you. For more information on Google Analytics, visit support.google.com/analytics.
You can set your Internet browser settings to stop accepting new cookies, to receive notice when you receive a new cookie, to disable existing cookies, or to omit images (which will disable any pixel tags that may be included in them). Note that the opt-out will apply only to the browser that you are using when you elect to opt out of cookies. Please note, without cookies or pixel tags, you may not be able to take full advantage of all features of the Services.
Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature (“DNT”) that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Many websites and applications, including the Services, do not respond to web browser DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, please visit allaboutdnt.com.

We may share your information (i) for the reasons we tell (a) you when we collect it, (b) in a Transaction Document, or (c) in an authorization or consent, or (ii) in the following ways:
1. At Your Direction: We may share your information with third parties when you direct us to. For example, if you request that we share your information with one of our business partners to take advantage of a feature that partner offers, we will share your information with that business partner.
2. Internally: We may share your information internally (e.g., with our affiliates) in order to provide you the Services, to provide the Services to the Providers, to offer you or the Providers other Services, and to improve our Services or develop new ones.
3. With Our Customers: We may share your information with our customers when we provide the Services. For example, if you are a patient using the Services, we will provide your information to your Providers. If you post information to our “user forums” available on our Sites, any information you provide may be read, collected, and used by other customers or third parties that have access to the forum.
4. With Our Service Providers or Contractors: We may share your information with our service providers or contractors (including third-party hosting providers) that we use to provide the Services or that provide services to us, such as for online account access, email marketing, advertising, promotions, newsletters, notices and other communications, or that assist us in monitoring, improving, and hosting the Services. Such service providers or contractors may contact you regarding their products and services.
5. With Business Partners: We may share your information with our business partners in order to offer or provide you with the Services or our business partners’ products and services, to identify if you may be interested in any of the Services or our business partners’ products and services, or to improve or develop new Services or business partners’ products or services. Our business partners may contact you regarding their products or services.
6. In the Event of a Business Transaction: If we are exploring or go through a business transition or financial transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, securities offering, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, we may disclose your information to a party or parties in connection with exploring or concluding such transaction.
7. For Legal Purposes: We will disclose your information when we think it is necessary to investigate or prevent actual or expected fraud, criminal activity, injury or damage to us or others; when otherwise required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, warrant or similar legal process; or if necessary to assert or protect our rights or assets.
We may share De-Identified Information in all legally permissible ways.

YOUR CHOICES; INTEREST-BASED ADS

We encourage you to communicate your preferences to us about how we use your information.
You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by following the instructions included in such a communication or by emailing us at [email protected]. Please allow us ten (10) business days from when the request was received to complete the removal. If you opt out, we may still send you non-marketing communications, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relationship.
We may use third-party service providers to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. These advertising service providers may collect (through the use of Data Collection Technologies) information about your visits to and interactions with the Services. In addition to the information about your visits to our Site, our service providers may also use the information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from us. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices for not having this information used by third-party service providers, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s website here.
Some features of our Apps may require access to certain native applications on your mobile device, such as the camera and photo storage applications (e.g., to take and upload photos and videos). If you decide to use these features, we will ask you for your consent prior to accessing the applications and collecting information. Note that you can revoke your consent at any time by changing the settings on your device.
Depending on your device settings, we may send promotional and non-promotional push notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can deactivate these messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your mobile device or within our Apps.
Residents of certain states may have additional Personal Information rights and choices, as further described in the U.S. State Privacy Law Supplemental Notice.

BIOMETRIC DATA

If you are a medical provider and use your device microphone to record your voice in connection with the Systems, such as using the Speech-to-Text Module in EMA^®, your recording and voiceprint may be collected by ModMed’s dictation service provider or other third parties as described in the Transaction Documents. Your voiceprint may be used to transcribe text for a patient’s medical record, to improve the dictation feature, or for other purposes described in the Transaction Documents and the Services.
Your voiceprint is biometric data under certain laws governing the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of biometric data. By using the microphone or other recording feature, you acknowledge that you have been advised of, and understand that, your biometric data may be collected, used, stored, and disclosed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise described in the Transaction Documents and Services. Use of your voice recording and biometric data by your medical practice and the dictation service provider is governed by the terms of service and privacy policies of those third parties.

U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are an eligible resident of California, Colorado, Delaware, New Jersey, or Oregon, please see our U.S. State Privacy Law Supplemental Notice for more information on your rights. The U.S. State Privacy Law Supplemental Notice supplements, but doesn’t replace, this Privacy Policy.

CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

As described in our Terms of Use, we prohibit users under 13 from using the Services. As such, we do not expect to collect information, including personal information as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us, you may contact us at [email protected] to request that we delete and stop use of that information. If we learn that we have received any information directly from a child under age 13 without first receiving his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use the Services. We will then subsequently delete that child’s information.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

The Services may contain links to other sites and other products and services that are not owned or controlled by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to, be embedded on, or otherwise accessible from or on our other Services. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Sites or other Services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of each and every third-party website that collects Personal information as their privacy policy may differ from ours.

PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

The security of Personal Information is important to us. We use reasonable safeguards aimed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the Personal Information we collect and maintain. Although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we can’t guarantee the security of any information you transmit to or from the Services or that unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction or some other data breach will not occur. Please keep in mind, however, that no data transmitted over the Internet is 100% secure and any information disclosed online can potentially be collected and used by parties other than the intended recipient.

NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

The Services are intended for use only in the United States of America. If you use the Services or contact us from outside of the United States of America, please be advised that (i) any information you provide to us or that we automatically collect will be transferred to the United States of America; and (ii) by using the Services or submitting information, you explicitly authorize its transfer to and subsequent processing in the United States of America in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason, in our sole discretion. Unless we say otherwise, changes will be effective upon the last updated date at the top of this Privacy Policy. Please check this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes. We may try to notify you of material changes to this Privacy Policy, which if we do so may be by means such as by posting a notice directly on the Services, by sending an email notification (if you have provided your email address to us), or by other reasonable methods. In any event, your use of the Services after changes to this Privacy Policy means you have accepted the changes. If you do not agree with the changes, immediately stop using the Services.

INTRODUCTION

In these Terms of Use (“Terms”), Modernizing Medicine, Inc. and its affiliates (including Modernizing Medicine Gastroenterology, Inc., Modernizing Medicine Billing Services, LLC, and Modernizing Medicine Retail Solutions, Inc.) will be referred to as “Modernizing Medicine” and terms like “we”, “our”, or “us”.
These Terms govern your access to and use of our products and services that link to or reference, or the terms and conditions for which reference, these Terms (“Services”). The Services include, at the relevant time, all of our:
1. websites (“Sites”), including modmed.com;
2. cloud-based or licensed on-premise electronic health records systems, including our Electronic Medical Assistant^®, or EMA^®, and gGastro^® systems, and associated systems such as practice management systems (collectively, “Systems”);
3. mobile applications (“Apps”), including APPatient™, Pocket Practice, PocketEMA, ModMed Practice Add-On, ModMed Practice Sandbox, gGastroMobile, ModMed Kiosk, gKiosk, gCharge, and the Momentum Users Conference app;
4. application programing interface (“API”) or other interfaces; and
5. other products and services, such as:
  1. implementation, training, and other professional services;
  2. data conversion, data extract, and data delivery services and products;
  3. analytics tools and services;
  4. reminder and other text messages;
  5. self-service user portals, including customer support messaging platforms and chatbots (e.g., Communities);
  6. knowledge bases and learning platforms, including educational or simulation games (e.g., ModMed U and ScribeMaster); and
  7. telehealth and related products and services, such as ModMed Telehealth, gTelehealth, virtual check-in, eVisit, asynchronous (store-and-forward) messages (similar to email), and live, real-time video and audio chat; and
  8. patient portals (“Patient Portals”).
The Services also include everything provided through or as part of the Services, such as all services, software, and Content (as defined below). To be clear, the Services do not include, and Modernizing Medicine does not provide, any healthcare services.
Please read these Terms carefully before you use the Services as they are a legal agreement between Modernizing Medicine and you once they are accepted. Please also review our Privacy Policy to learn about our information collection, use, and privacy practices associated with the Services.
By clicking “I accept,” “Agree,” or other similar icon (where applicable), or otherwise by using any of the Services, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms, including the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver in section 11. If you do not agree with any portion of these Terms, then do not click “I accept,” “Agree” or other similar icon and do not use any Services.
If you are using Services on behalf of another person or an entity, then you: (i) represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that person or entity with the authority to bind that person or entity to these Terms and to take the actions contemplated in these Terms, where applicable, including on behalf of others (who may include your employer, employees, clients, patients, contractors, relatives, wards, or principals), and (ii) agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of that person or entity. References to “you”, “your”, and similar terms refer to both you as an individual and, if applicable, such person or entity.
PLEASE NOTE.As may be described in more detail in these Terms, please note:
1. Modernizing Medicine does not provide healthcare services. Modernizing Medicine provides Services to help healthcare providers manage their medical practices, which includes Services that permit patients to interact with their providers. The terms for any healthcare services provided by a provider are as separately agreed upon by the provider and the patient. Modernizing Medicine is neither a party to nor bound by any such terms.
2. Limitations on Liability and Claims. These Terms contain important provisions that limit our liability to you and that govern how claims that you and Modernizing Medicine have against each other may be brought. These provisions will require you to submit claims you have against us to final and binding arbitration and to do so on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding.
3. Transaction Document. You may have signed an Order Form, Agreement, Business Associate Agreement, Statement of Work, or other document with terms and conditions for specified Services (“Transaction Document”). These Terms supplement Transaction Documents.
4. Service-Specific Terms. These Terms contain general terms that apply to all the Services, as well as certain terms that apply only to particular Services (“Service-Specific Terms”). Some Service-Specific Terms are in Appendix A. We also may present to you or post to our Sites additional Service-Specific Terms through the Services that apply to particular features of the Services. To the extent that these Terms conflict with the Service-Specific Terms, the Service-Specific terms will control with respect to the Services to which they relate.
5. Changes to these Terms. We may change these Terms at any time. Unless we say otherwise, changes will be effective upon the last updated date at the top of these Terms. Please check these Terms regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes to these Terms. We may try to notify you of material changes to these Terms, such as by posting a notice directly on the Services, by sending an email notification (if you have provided your email address to us), or by other reasonable methods. In any event, your use of the Services after changes to these Terms means you have accepted the changes. If you do not agree with the changes, immediately stop using the Services.
6. Practice Terms and Conditions, Privacy Statements. If you are a patient, your Provider or his or her office may have required you to agree to terms and conditions, privacy statements, or other documents. Those are separate from these Terms. These Terms cover any of the Services you or your Provider use, where any terms and conditions, privacy statements, or other documents your Provider or his or her office have presented you address your Provider’s provision of his or her services and his or her office’s use and handling of your data and other information.

Children and Minors.
1. The Services are not intended for or directed to children under 18 years old.
2.

You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. If you are a Patient User, your provider may use the Services to send you electronic communications (including email, text messages, and notices posted in the Services), which could include notifications that you have available a billing statement, clinical result, or other items related to your receipt of healthcare from the provider, and you consent to receive those communications at any time of day or night. You should maintain copies of electronic communications from us by printing a paper copy, saving an electronic copy, or both.

You may opt out of receiving these promotional emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in such emails.
2. Where the Apps allows for the delivery of “push notifications” you may opt out of receiving these notifications by changing the notification settings on your device. By downloading and using our Apps, you may also receive promotional messages, offers, news, and information about Modernizing Medicine or our business partners within the Apps themselves. These “in app” messages are part of our Apps’ functionality and cannot be turned off. If you do not want to receive “in app” messages, offers, news, and information, do not download or use the Apps.

USE OF THE SERVICES

Providers. If you are a Provider:
1. You and any other professionals treating a patient have the exclusive responsibility for all healthcare services, including any medical decisions or actions with respect to a patient’s medical care, and for determining the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of any billing, clinical, coding, diagnostic, medical, or other information provided by the Services or any other products or services provided or made available by Modernizing Medicine. We do not assume any responsibility for how such information is captured, rendered, or used.
2. You acknowledge and agree that neither the Services nor any other products or services provided by Modernizing Medicine “recommend”, “suggest”, or “advise” diagnoses, proper prescribing, or other treatment decisions.
3. You will not use the Services to collect, or attempt to collect, personal information about other users of the Services or individuals who are not your patients for use in violation of HIPAA (as defined below) or any other applicable law.
4. You will comply with all applicable laws, including any and all laws in your relevant states and localities, pertaining to the security, confidentiality, and protection of medical records, personally identifying information, protected health information, and sensitive health information as well as your use of the Services.
Patient Users. If you are a Patient User:
1. Certain Services may permit you to provide information to, receive information from, and otherwise interact with a Provider. Providers, not Modernizing Medicine, will be solely responsible for any healthcare services, including any care and treatment that is provided or failed to be provided via the Services. Use of the Services, including access to any Content, does not create a provider-patient relationship between you and us.
2. All Content is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for the professional judgment of a healthcare provider.
3. You agree that Modernizing Medicine is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any of your interactions with Providers or other entities or individuals, whether online or offline. Modernizing Medicine is under no obligation to become involved in any dispute between you and any Provider, any other user of the Services, or any other entity or individual, and you indemnify and release the Indemnified Parties (as defined below) from any and all claims, actions, suits, liabilities, demands, losses, and damages (actual or consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes or the Service or the features and services in the Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
Obligations. You will:
1. Use the Services only as expressly authorized in these Terms;
2. Use the Services only in accordance with all applicable laws;
3. Exercise caution, discretion, common sense, and judgment in using the Services and when disclosing information on or through the Services. You are solely responsible for your use of the Services;

NO WARRANTIES

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MODERNIZING MEDICINE MAKES NO AND DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND TITLE AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE IN TRADE. MODERNIZING MEDICINE DOES NOT WARRANT: (i) THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; (ii) THAT ANY DEFECT OR ERROR WILL BE CORRECTED; (iii) THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE AND FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; (iv) THAT ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE CURRENT OR ACCURATE; (v) AGAINST ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF ANY DATA OR SUBMISSIONS; OR (vi) THAT A PARTICULAR PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR PROVIDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU. ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE SERVICES IS INTENDED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO, AND NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR, THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, AND JUDGMENT OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
MODERNIZING MEDICINE MAKES NO GUARANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY OF ANY POPULATION HEALTH DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES. THE POPULATION HEALTH DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES IS NOT INTENDED AS LEGAL ADVICE AND ALL LEGAL INQUIRIES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL. MODERNIZING MEDICINE DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL WE (WHICH, AS A REMINDER, INCLUDES OUR AFFILIATES) OR ANY OF OUR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, ADVISORS, CONTRACTORS, OR CONSULTANTS BE LIABLE TO YOU (WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY) FOR: (i) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR INFORMATION OF ANY KIND) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES OR (ii) DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS EXCEEDING, IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS, THE GREATER OF: (a) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR THE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLAIM IN THE 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM OR (b) $100.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THESE TERMS WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
EXCEPT TO EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MODERNIZING MEDICINE’S LIABILITY TO YOU IS LIMITED AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES OR TOTAL LIABILITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

USER INDEMNITY

In addition to any indemnification obligations you may have, you will indemnify us (which, as a reminder, includes affiliates) and our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, advisors, contractors, and consultants (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, interest, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs) arising out of or related to: (i) your use of, your inability to use, or your reliance upon the Services or any of its components or any other products or services of Modernizing Medicine; (ii) your Submissions and Feedback; or (iii) your violation of these Terms, the Transaction Documents, or any applicable law. You agree to provide us with such cooperation as we reasonably request related to any such claims, actions, suits, or demands.

LIMITATIONS ON CLAIMS; AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

Disputes Subject to Arbitration. Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate Disputes with Modernizing Medicine (which, as a reminder, includes affiliates) and our respective owners, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents (collectively, the “Modernizing Medicine Parties”) and limits the manner in which you may seek relief from us, including a class action waiver. This section 11 applies to all Disputes (unless excluded under section 11.3) between you and the Modernizing Medicine Parties. “Dispute” means disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, controversies, demands, or proceedings arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services in any way, whether directly or indirectly, or to the relationship between the parties resulting from these Terms or the Services. If you are a Provider, dispute resolution is instead addressed in and subject to the Transaction Documents.
Waiver of Jury Trial and Right to Pursue Class Action Claims. By entering into these Terms, the parties are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
Exclusions. This arbitration agreement does not preclude any party from seeking a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, pending arbitration, in any court that has competent jurisdiction. Nor does this arbitration agreement bar a party from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
Notice of Disputes. The parties will try in good faith to settle any Dispute within 30 days after the Dispute arises. If either you or Modernizing Medicine intends to seek arbitration of a Dispute, then that party must provide the other with notice in writing. The notice to Modernizing Medicine should be sent to the following address: Modernizing Medicine, Attn: General Counsel, 4850 T-Rex Avenue, Suite 200, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. Modernizing Medicine will send notice to you at the mailing address or email address associated with your account, if applicable. Your notice to Modernizing Medicine must: (i) provide your name, mailing address, and email address; (ii) describe the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the relief you are requesting. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within 60 days after the notice is received, the party that sent the notice may commence arbitration.
No Class Arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and Modernizing Medicine agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a particular cause of action or any particular remedy, then that cause of action or particular remedy (and only that cause of action or particular remedy) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.
Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree to another arbitration provider or a court of competent jurisdiction will appoint a substitute.
1. Location of Arbitration. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your principal place of business or residence, as applicable.
2. Issues for Arbitrator. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of any of this arbitration agreement or the arbitrability of Disputes are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
3. Written Decision. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration. The parties will pay the arbitrator’s fees, the arbitrator’s appointed experts’ fees and expenses, and the AAA filing, administrative, and hearing fees in accordance with the AAA Rules. If you complied with the notice requirements of section 11.4 and the value of your claims is: (i) $75,000 or less, Modernizing Medicine will pay your share of any such AAA fees; (ii) between $75,000 and $300,000, your share of any such fees will be capped at $200; and (iii) $300,000 or more, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. If an arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct you to reimburse Modernizing Medicine for amounts that Modernizing Medicine paid on your behalf.
Limitation on Time to Bring an Action. You agree that regardless of any law to the contrary, you must file any Dispute within 1 year after such Dispute arose or such Dispute will be forever barred.
Enforcement. Judgment on the award may be enforced by any court having jurisdiction over the award, the applicable party, or its assets.

MISCELLANEOUS

Notice. Modernizing Medicine may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these Terms, by postings on the Sites or in the other Services or by other means (e.g., via email).
Governing Law; Venue. These Terms and any Dispute between you and Modernizing Medicine arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to any provision of Florida law that would require or permit the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, will be resolved on an individual basis in the state or federal courts of the State of Florida and the United States, respectively, sitting in Palm Beach County, Florida. If you are a United States city, county, or state government entity, then the following applies instead of the language above: the parties agree to remain silent regarding governing law and venue.
Waiver. A waiver of a provision of these Terms must be in writing and signed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. Modernizing Medicine’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is declared void or unenforceable by any judicial or administrative authority, the parties will replace such provision with a substitute that as closely as possible reflects the parties’ original intent (including economics and allocations of risk) and is enforceable, and the validity of the other provisions and of these Terms as a whole will not be affected.
Independent Contractor. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Modernizing Medicine as a result of these Terms or use of the Services.
Interpretation. Headings used in these Terms are for convenience only and will not be used in interpreting these Terms. These Terms will be deemed to be drafted by both parties and will not be construed against either party. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “include” (and its variants) are to be construed as inclusive, not exclusive, and are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
Force Majeure. Modernizing Medicine will not be liable for failure or delay in performing its obligations if such failure or delay is due to a force majeure event or other circumstances beyond Modernizing Medicine’s reasonable control, including acts of any governmental body, war, cyber war or attack, terrorism, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, severe weather, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in the internet or transportation, unavailability of third-party services, failure of third-party software or services, or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of the Services or any other products or services contemplated by these Terms or any of the Transaction Documents.

Analytics (including ModMed Analytics and gInsights).

Our Analytics Services allows Providers to analyze certain clinical, operational, and financial data in our Systems.
You and your users will follow all guidelines, protocols, and procedures specified by Modernizing Medicine related to Analytics. You and your users are solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of any measures, information, data, or materials. You and the company, practice, person, or other entity you are employed by, own, or represent will cause all users to comply with these Terms.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents: (i) only one of a Provider’s named authorized users is permitted to use Analytics (“Authorized Analytics User”); (ii) we must agree to any change in your Authorized Analytics User; and (iii) the Authorized Analytics User may not be a physician. We may require additional fees to increase the number of Authorized Analytics Users or change the identity of any Authorized Analytics User. We may also require you to take different or additional actions to become an Authorized Analytics User.
If you or any of your healthcare providers have elected to participate in any of Modernizing Medicine’s specialized registries, then we may provide certain population health data and statistics regarding such data to you through Analytics. In such case: (i) the Authorized Analytics User must share such data and analysis with you and each of your healthcare providers participating in such registries; (ii) such providers will not use Analytics (unless such provider is an Authorized Analytics User); and (iii) the Authorized Analytics User will only provide such providers with such data and analysis through a means other than through Analytics.
