  1. Use of the Services

Information About Our Organization and the Services

The Services provide a technology platform that automates and runs core components of a professional electronic healthcare insurance and healthcare eligibility verification platform, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on other aspects of their business. The Services automate and assist you with electronic verification of individual health insurance eligibility, benefits, and claims status (hereinafter “Health Insurance Information”) for a potential or current healthcare patient (hereinafter the “Patient”). Such assistance includes, but is not limited to, handling certain tasks of inputting information including, but not limited to, an individual’s name, identity information, health insurance, and health information, including proposed treatment information, to verify and obtain data associated with the individual’s health insurance eligibility, benefit and claims information.

By accessing or using the Services, Customer accepts and agrees to our Privacy Policy. If Customer is a Covered Entity as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (hereinafter “HIPAA”), Customer accepts and agrees to be bound by the Business Associate Agreement entered into by Customer and SystemsTX (the “Business Associate Agreement”). Customer warrants that Customer is not prohibited from receiving products of U.S. origin, including services or software. Customer must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Services, including, but not limited to, a computing device that is suitable to connect with and use the Services. Customer is responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees that Customer incurs when accessing the Services.

Customer will use the Services only in connection with the conduct of Customer’s business as a healthcare representative or healthcare provider. The Services will at all times be and remain in the possession and control of Customer, and Customer agrees that Customer will restrict access to and use of the Services to healthcare representatives and providers and employees thereof who are permitted to access the information and documentation available on the Services based upon all applicable laws, rules, and regulations unless otherwise agreed to by SystemsTX in writing.

The Services shall at all times be used and operated by Customer under and in compliance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which the Services may be provided, and in compliance with all lawful acts, rules, and regulations and orders of any commissions, boards or other legislative, executive or judicial bodies or officers having power to regulate or supervise the use of the Services, including those related to data privacy, health care privacy, international communications, and the transmission of technical or personal data.

In order to access and/or use SystemsTX’s Services, SystemsTX will create an account for Customer, and Customer may then create individual User sub-accounts for its authorized Users. “User” means any employee, subcontractor or agent who is authorized by Customer to utilize the Services. Customer agrees that Customer will, and will cause its Users to, keep and maintain Customer’s and Users’ account credentials, other identifiers (e.g., Employer Identification Number (hereinafter “EIN”) or National Provider Information (hereinafter “NPI”) and password confidential and not disclose Customer’s or Users’ account credentials to any third parties. Customer agrees to immediately notify SystemsTX in the event of any unauthorized access to or use of Customer’s (or any User’s) account or other breach of security. Customer agrees that Customer is responsible for all activities that occur under Customer’s account, whether the activities were performed by Customer (including its personnel, agents and subcontractors) or performed by an unauthorized third-party. Customer agrees to report to SystemsTX immediately and use reasonable efforts to stop immediately any known or suspected unauthorized copying or distribution of the content from the Services.

When a health insurance verification request is submitted through our Services, all details of the request are required to be available to us so that our Services may function properly to provide you with the information you request.

Customer agrees to collect, store, and use all information, including Third-Party Data (as defined below), provided to it or obtained via the Services or otherwise as a result of this Agreement in a manner that (i) protects the security, privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of all information provided, (ii) ensures against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the information; and (iii) protects against unauthorized access to or use of the information. “Third-Party Data” means any data, information, or material provided or submitted by any third party to the Services in the course of using and/or providing the Services. These safeguards include, without limitation, a written data security plan, employee training, information access controls, restricted disclosures, systems protections (e.g., intrusion protection, data storage protection, and data transmission protection), and physical security measures. For information disclosed in electronic form, Customer agrees that such safeguards must include electronic barriers (e.g., “firewalls” or similar barriers) and password-protected access. In addition, in the event that Customer sends or receives any data over the Internet or through an ISP, Customer shall secure or encrypt such information in a manner consistent with industry security standards. For information disclosed in written form, Customer agrees that such safeguards shall include secured storage. Customer shall also establish and maintain any additional physical, electronic, and procedural controls and safeguards to protect any data from unwarranted disclosure as may be required for SystemsTX to comply with any law or regulation.

If there is any actual or suspected theft of, accidental disclosure of, loss of, or inability to account for any information by Customer or any unauthorized intrusions into Customer’s systems affecting information in the Services and/or Third-Party Data, Customer must, within 24 hours of the discovery of the actual or suspected event, (i) notify SystemsTX, (ii) estimate the disclosure or intrusion on SystemsTX, and (iii) specify the corrective action to be taken by Customer.

Customer warrants and agrees that Customer will not use information obtained from the Services for any improper or illegal purpose or act, including, but not limited to patient brokering. Customer also agrees not to share the Patient’s Health Insurance Information with any unauthorized user in any manner.

SystemsTX’s Services are intended to assist Customer with obtaining the Health Insurance Information of the Patient who may be treated by Customer’s healthcare practice; however, Customer understands that SystemsTX is not Customer’s agent or representative. Use of the Services does not remove Customer’s sole responsibility and liability for making treatment and/or patient admissions decisions based on the Patient’s Health Insurance Information, obtaining payments from the Patient for any and all healthcare treatments, medications, durable medical equipment, and any other service provided by Customer’s healthcare practice, or any other activities associated with a healthcare practice or product. Customer is responsible for monitoring such activities to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with any applicable rules and regulations. SystemsTX will attempt to obtain the Health Insurance Information accurately; however, Customer agrees that Customer is solely responsible and liable for verifying the accuracy of the Health Insurance Information gathered through use of the Services. Customer acknowledges that the Health Insurance Information obtained through the Services is for informational purposes only and not a guarantee of payment, authorization, or acceptance by the Patient’s health insurance company. Customer agrees to independently verify the Patient’s Health Insurance Information obtained as a result of the Services and acknowledges that failure to independently verify the Health Insurance Information may cause Customer to incur a significant cost, for which Customer agrees SystemsTX is neither responsible nor liable.

Changes in the Patient’s Health Insurance Information may occur. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible for communicating with the Patient’s health insurance company, and Customer agrees to indemnify SystemsTX against any claim, demand, and/or liabilities, including costs and expenses, asserted by the Patient or any third-party, resulting from or arising out of such changes to the Patient’s Health Insurance Information. By accessing and using SystemsTX’s Services, Customer agrees to bear all risks associated with the use of SystemsTX’s Services. Customer agrees that SystemsTX is not responsible for the Patient’s health insurance coverage responsibilities or the Patient’s health insurance payment responsibilities.

Both parties will obtain and maintain insurance during the Term of this Agreement, including worker’s compensation and commercial general liability insurance (with applicable riders), in amounts and on terms that are in accordance with acceptable standards in the industry. Each party, upon request by the other party in writing, will furnish the requesting party with proof of such insurance by presenting valid certificates of current coverage.

Customer acknowledges that HIPAA governs the use and transmission of individually identifiable health information, including setting rules for health care providers and health insurance companies about who can look at and receive an individual’s health information. To that end, Customer acknowledges that Customer is responsible for compliance with HIPAA regulations and represents and warrants to SystemsTX that Customer is in compliance. By using the Services, Customer agrees to the terms of the Business Associate Agreement.

Customer understands that each healthcare payer may have terms and conditions, privacy policies, and other rules and restrictions associated with covering the cost of an insured individual’s medical expenses (hereinafter “Health Insurance Coverage Policies”). Customer agrees that it is Customer’s sole responsibility to review and comply with these Health Insurance Coverage Policies. Customer agrees that SystemsTX is not responsible for any violations of the Health Insurance Coverage Policies, and Customer agrees to indemnify SystemsTX against any claim, demand, and/or liabilities, including costs and expenses, asserted by any third-party healthcare payers, resulting from or arising out of such violations of the Health Insurance Coverage Policies as a result of Customer’s use of the Services.

Customer represents and warrants that Customer’s use of the Services does not conflict with any third-party agreements, and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SystemsTX in the event that Customer’s use of the Services violates or conflicts with such third-party agreements.

  1. Fees

Customer will pay the fees for the Term according to the prices and terms listed in the MSA, the user interface, or as otherwise agreed by the parties. SystemsTX reserves the right to increase its fees upon notice to Customer, which increase will take effect 30 days after such notice. All fees are payable in US Dollars and are non-cancelable and nonrefundable. All fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties (excluding taxes imposed on SystemsTX’s net income). In the event SystemsTX pays any such taxes and has not collected them previously from Customer, Customer shall promptly reimburse SystemsTX.

Customer is responsible for any connection fees incurred by Customer to access and use the Services. For example, Customer’s Internet service provider may charge Customer access or data fees for Customer’s use of their services in connection with data transmission. Contact Customer’s provider for more information regarding their data rates and fees.

  1. System Requirements, Maintenance, Updates, and Limitations on Service

Use of the Services requires a computing device that is compatible with the Services and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time in order to continue using the Services.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that SystemsTX is not responsible for supplying Customers with the hardware necessary to use the Services.

SystemsTX reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any aspect of the Services for any reason and without notice. Customer agrees that SystemsTX is not responsible for any costs, loss of revenue, or loss of business of any kind as a result of maintenance of the Services, or as a result of the Services being inaccessible for any other reason.

The version of the Services’ software may be upgraded from time to time to add support for new functions and services, improve, enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions (hereinafter “Enhancement(s)”). Customer agrees to receive such Enhancements (and permit SystemsTX to deliver them to Customer) as part of Customer’s use of the Services, and refusal to accept any Enhancement is grounds for termination of the Agreement and the Services. In the event that there is or will be an incremental cost increase in a material amount to the Services associated with the Enhancement, the amount of said incremental cost increase shall be mutually agreed by SystemsTX and Customer. SystemsTX does not guarantee that SystemsTX will continue to support any version of SystemsTX’s Services for which Customer initially received a right to use.

It is Customer’s obligation to work with SystemsTX (or designate an approved contact) which SystemsTX and its support vendors can work with to resolve any issues of which Customer provides SystemsTX sufficient notice. The determination of whether the notice is sufficient will be made solely by SystemsTX, and such determination shall not be unreasonably withheld. Customer will provide power and high-speed Internet access for any equipment utilizing any of the Services or products associated with the Services. SystemsTX is not responsible for issues involving an Internet Service Provider and Customer or any other third parties which make changes to Customer’s network via direct (change) or indirect (outage) action.

In addition to Customer’s obligation to safeguard Confidential Information in accordance with this section, Customer acknowledges that PHI requires special safeguarding and agrees to abide by all applicable laws, including HIPAA, regarding the protection and disclosure of PHI. This obligation shall continue so long as the Agreement is in effect and for a period until the information no longer remains confidential.

If Customer becomes compelled in any proceeding or is requested by a governmental body having regulatory to make any disclosure that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, Customer shall provide SystemsTX with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this section. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, Customer may disclose such information immediately prior to the required date for production or disclosure of the information.

Customer agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to pricing, to any third party, without the prior written express consent of SystemsTX, except to advisors, investors, and others on a need-to-know basis under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof, or to the extent required by law.

In the event of an actual or threatened breach of the above confidentiality provisions, SystemsTX shall have the right to immediately suspend and terminate Customer’s access to the Services.

Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 48 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 12 hours after sending (if sent by email).

CUSTOMER AGREES THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THESE SERVICES SHALL BE AT CUSTOMER’S SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SYSTEMSTX, AND ITS SUPPLIERS, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARENTS, AFFILIATES, SHAREHOLDERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SYSTEMSTX PARTIES”) OFFER THE SERVICES “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND CUSTOMER’S USE THEREOF, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SYSTEMSTX, AND THEIR AGENTS, MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE CONTENT AND THE PROCESSES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT OR THE PROCESSES, (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM CUSTOMER’S ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF SYSTEMSTX’S SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION, INSURANCE INFORMATION, AND/OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM SYSTEMSTX’S SERVERS, (IV) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH SYSTEMSTX’S SERVICES BY ANY THIRD-PARTY, AND/OR (V) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR PROCESSES OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES AND ANY PROCESSES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES. SYSTEMSTX DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICES OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND SYSTEMSTX WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. AS WITH THE PURCHASE OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH ANY MEDIUM OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, CUSTOMER SHOULD USE CUSTOMER’S BEST JUDGMENT AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHERE APPROPRIATE.

NEITHER SYSTEMSTX NOR ANY SYSTEMSTX PARTY IS PROVIDING ANY LEGAL, TAX, MEDICAL, COUNSELING, ACCOUNTING, INVESTMENT, FINANCIAL OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OR ADVICE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SYSTEMSTX PARTIES, OR ANY SUB-CONTRACTOR, SALESPERSON, OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER HIRED BY SYSTEMSTX IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE AGREEMENT, BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES HAS BEEN NOTIFIED TO SYSTEMSTX), FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, SAVINGS, REVENUES, LEGAL COSTS AND/OR EXPENSES, OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS, LOSS OF (OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE) EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHICH MAY ARISE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN ANY MANNER IN CONNECTION WITH: (i) THE USE OF OR ANY PROCESSES RELATED TO THE SERVICES; (ii) FOR ANY PURCHASE, USE OR LICENSE OF ANY COMPUTER SOFTWARE; (iii) FOR ANY DATA FURNISHED UNDER OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT; (vi) THE DURATION IN WHICH HEALTH INSURANCE INFORMATION IS EFFECTIVE; (v) ANY INACCURACIES IN THE HEALTH INSURANCE INFORMATION; (vi) ANY OF CUSTOMER’S TREATMENT DECISIONS; OR (vi) ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICES.

Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental, consequential, or certain other types of damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not apply fully to Customer. Nevertheless, the intention of the parties is to minimize to the fullest extent possible the implied warranties and liability for remote or uncertain damages to be claimed from SystemsTX.

  1. Third-Party Disputes

Customer is solely responsible for any activities related to Customer’s independent verification of health insurance information, whether or not performed through the Services. SystemsTX reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with third party disputes, including, but not limited to, disputes between individuals and health insurance companies, individuals and health care practices, and health insurance companies and health care practices. If Customer has a dispute with one or more third parties, Customer releases the SystemsTX Parties from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such third party disputes, including, without limitation, any intellectual property dispute or any dispute over health insurance information.

  1. Force Majeure

SystemsTX shall not be liable for any delay or failure to provide the Services resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of SystemsTX, including without limitation acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, network infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

  1. Indemnification

By using these Services Customer agrees that Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the SystemsTX Parties from and against all liabilities, liens, actions, claims, costs, taxes, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) if any third party brings a claim against SystemsTX in connection with, or arising out of (i) Customer’s breach of this Agreement; (ii) Customer’s violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States, including HIPAA, or any other country; (iii) Customer’s infringement or violation of the rights of any third parties (including intellectual property rights); (iv) Customer’s use of the Services; or (v) any other party’s access and use of the Services with Customer’s account credentials or other appropriate security feature. SystemsTX reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Customer, and, in such case, Customer shall agree to cooperate with SystemsTX’s defense of such claim. Customer shall not settle any claim without the prior consent of SystemsTX.

  1. Arbitration

SystemsTX looks forward to a long and mutually productive relationship with Customer. However, if Customer becomes dissatisfied for any reason with the fees charged or the Services, SystemsTX encourages Customer to bring that to SystemsTX’s attention immediately. It is SystemsTX’s belief that most such problems can be resolved by good faith discussions between the parties. Nevertheless, it is always possible that some disputes may arise which cannot be resolved by discussions between us. SystemsTX believes that such disputes can be resolved more expeditiously and with less expense to all concerned by binding arbitration than by court proceedings.

Any dispute between Customer and SystemsTX (including, without limitation, any individual currently employed or formerly employed by SystemsTX) shall be subject to binding arbitration. In addition, all questions regarding the arbitrability of the dispute, including whether Customer and/or SystemsTX has agreed to arbitrate the dispute, shall be decided by such arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate all disputes between us applies even if some person or entity claims that this Agreement is void, voidable, or unenforceable for any reason. By agreeing to arbitrate, all parties are waiving a jury trial.

The arbitration shall be held in Palm Beach County, Florida, before a mutually acceptable arbitrator, pursuant to the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, including Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. The arbitrator shall be a practicing attorney or retired judge with at least fifteen years of total working experience as such. Customer consents to personal jurisdiction in Florida and venue in Palm Beach County in any action and agrees to waive the right to proceed in any other jurisdiction or forum concerning a dispute between the parties or relating to this Agreement. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination of the Services or this Agreement.

No demand for arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages.

A party may apply to the arbitrator seeking injunctive relief until an arbitration award is rendered or the dispute is otherwise resolved. A party also may, without waiving any other remedy, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party pending the arbitrator’s appointment or decision on the merits of the dispute. If the arbitrator determines that a party has generally prevailed in the arbitration proceeding, then the arbitrator shall award to that party its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the arbitration, including filing fees, arbitrator compensation, attorney’s fees, and legal costs.

The arbitration proceedings and arbitrator’s award shall be maintained by the parties as strictly confidential, except as is otherwise required by court order or as is necessary to confirm, vacate or enforce the award and for disclosure in confidence to the parties’ respective attorneys, tax advisors, and senior management and to family members of a party who is an individual.

The arbitrator shall require exchange by the parties of (i) the name and, if known, address and telephone number of each person likely to have knowledge of relevant information, identifying the subjects of the information, and (ii) non-privileged documents, including those in electronic form, that are relevant to the issues raised by any claim, defense or counterclaim or on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim, defense or counterclaim. The arbitrator shall limit such production based on considerations of unreasonable expense, duplication, and undue burden.

These exchanges shall occur no later than a specified date within 60 days following the appointment of the arbitrator. At the request of a party, the arbitrator may at his or her discretion order the deposition of witnesses. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of three depositions per party, each of a maximum of four hours duration unless the arbitrator otherwise determines. The arbitrator may allow such other discovery as he or she determines is reasonably necessary for a fair determination of the dispute. Any dispute or objections regarding discovery or the relevance of evidence shall be determined by the arbitrator. All discovery shall be completed within 120 days following the appointment of the arbitrator unless the arbitrator otherwise determines.

Any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, a dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.

Any claim under this Agreement must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. Customer agrees to the admissibility of computer records and electronic evidence in any dispute herein.

In the event the provisions in this arbitration section are held invalid or unenforceable, then this section, in its entirety, will cease to apply, and the parties will not be obligated to arbitrate any disputes.

  1. Miscellaneous

This Agreement, including the Privacy Policy, and/or the Business Associate Agreement, together with any additional terms to which Customer agrees when using any aspect of these Services constitutes the entire agreement regarding the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral or written between Customer and SystemsTX with respect to the Services.

These Terms of Service are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, regardless of principles of conflict/choice of laws that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Customer’s violation of these Terms of Service, including without limitation a violation of the Use Restrictions in Section 7 and Confidentiality in Section 13, could cause irreparable harm to SystemsTX for which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain or may be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, Customer agrees that SystemsTX will be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual money damages. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable legal fees and costs, including attorneys’ fees.

SystemsTX and its Third Party Providers make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside of the United States or that certain aspects of the Services are legally usable within all parts of the United States.

No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to SystemsTX upon any breach or default by Customer under the Agreements shall impair any such right, power or remedy of SystemsTX, nor shall any such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring, nor shall any waiver of a single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude the exercise of any other right or any other remedy at law or in equity. Except as expressly and specifically, set forth in these Terms of Service, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by SystemsTX shall be deemed a modification of these Terms of Service nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by Customer and a duly appointed officer of SystemsTX.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

The terms and conditions in this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns (subject to any other provision in the Agreement).

It is expressly acknowledged by the parties that SystemsTX is an “independent contractor” with respect to Customer and nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to create any employer/employee relationship, partnership, or joint venture between the parties. No employee or agent of either party may be deemed an employee or agent of the other party by reason of this Agreement. SystemsTX shall be fully responsible for all tax liabilities arising from its status as an independent contractor. Each party shall notify the other and permit the other to participate in the resolution of any inquiry or audit relating to SystemsTX’s status as an independent contractor.
