Accordingly, the Parties incorporate the Business Associate Agreement attached as Exhibit A into this Agreement.
a. Client Materials. Client may input or store PHI (as defined by the HIPAA Rules) and other information (“Client Materials”) into the Services. Client grants Cerbo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, non-transferable license to use Client Materials to the extent necessary to make the Services available to Client, Client’s Users, and Client’s Customers (as applicable). The term of this license expires upon termination of this Agreement.

CERBO WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS.
a. Third-Party Products and Services. The Services may include the option for Client to use additional services from third-party business that are neither owned nor controlled by Cerbo (“Third-Party Services”). Third-Party Services linked to the Services have separate terms and conditions that apply to your use of the same. Cerbo neither endorses nor promotes the use of Third-Party Services. You are solely responsible for your use of Third-Party Services.
b. Embedded Third-Party Services. Some features of the Services rely on third-party applications, such as maps, payment processing, electronic fax, etc. (“Third-Party Applications”). Such features are provided by Cerbo to Client as a convenience and depend on the continuing availability of the relevant API, program, or data. Client does not obtain any right, title, or interest in or to Third-Party Applications by virtue of their inclusion in, or interoperation with, the Services, which right, title, and interest remain with the applicable providers of such Third-Party Applications (“Third-Party Service Provider”). If a Third-Party Service Provider ceases to make their API, program, or data available on reasonable terms for the Services, Cerbo will attempt to find a replacement to avoid interruption of the impacted feature(s) of the Services, but may cease providing such feature(s) without entitling Client to any refund, credit, or other compensation.
c. Data Security of Third-Party Services. If Client requests that Client Materials be sent from the Services to Third-Party Service Providers or via Third-Party Applications (either programmatically/automatically or via data export), Client is solely responsible for transferred Client Materials and HIPAA Rules compliance of such Third-Party Services. Cerbo disclaims all responsibility for such information once it is transferred out of the Services.
d. e-Prescribing via the Surescripts Network. The Services may include e-prescription via the Surescripts network under the following terms and conditions. However, neither Cerbo nor Surescripts make any guarantee that a Client will gain or retain access to the Surescripts Network or associated Services.
e. Audit. If Client uses the Surescripts network, Client shall allow Cerbo or Surescripts to access, inspect, and audit Client’s records relating to the use of the Surescripts network upon request. The costs of such inspection or audit are the responsibility of the requesting Party, and the audit may not cause an unreasonable disruption to Client’s operations.
f. Background screenings. Prior to using the Surescripts network, Client shall obtain at Client’s own expense a background screening for each of Client’s employees and contractors whose job description or functional duties require or contemplate access (other than incidental or infrequent access) to any PHI. Such background screening must be conducted at the federal, state and county level and at a minimum include background criminal and residency of the applicable individual for the previous 7 years (i.e., search of all counties in which individual has resided within the preceding 7 year period), neither of which may contain any felony or misdemeanor conviction within the past 7 years that related to fraud or theft. Surescripts may reasonably modify their background screening requirements in conformance with industry best practices, in which case Client shall update Client’s background screening policy or conduct additional background screening as necessary. Promptly upon written request, Client shall provide a written affidavit certifying Client’s compliance with this provision.
a. User Fees. Client shall promptly pay all fees associated with Client’s usage of the Services. Except as otherwise specified, fees are: (i) quoted and payable in United States dollars; (ii) based on subscriptions for access and not actual usage; and (iii) non-refundable.
b. Invoicing and Payment. Unless agreed otherwise between the parties, Client shall provide Cerbo with valid and current credit card or bank account direct debiting information.

Client is responsible for providing Cerbo with complete and accurate billing and contact information. Client agrees to pay the full invoice amount upon receipt of the applicable invoice.
c. Overdue Charges. If Client fails to pay any invoice in full, Cerbo’s in its sole discretion, after notifying Client in writing and providing Client with 5 business days to pay the overdue amounts, may apply overdue charges to Client’s account at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid.
d. Suspension and/or Termination of Services. Cerbo, in its sole discretion, may set the Services to “read-only” for Client’s failure to pay any invoice within 30 days. If a Client’s invoice is delinquent for a period of 60 days, Cerbo, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement and Client’s access to and use of the Services. In the event Cerbo exercises its rights under this Section 5(b), the Agreement will automatically terminate and Cerbo will promptly return Client Materials used with the Services.
e. Payment Disputes. Cerbo shall not exercise its rights under Section 5(c) (Overdue Charges) or 5(d) (Suspension of Service and/or Termination of Services) if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and Client is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute, or if the failure to pay on time is a result of Cerbo’s mistake or oversight.
f. Pricing Increases. Cerbo reserves the right to change the pricing for the Services at any time during the Subscription Term, upon written notice to Client. Cerbo shall give Client at least 30 days prior written notice of any price increases applicable to Client’s existing subscriptions.
g. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Cerbo’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any kind (collectively, “Taxes”).

However, to the extent legally permitted, the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party prompt prior written notice of such compelled disclosure and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

Cerbo shall indemnify Client for damages finally awarded against, and for reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Client Indemnitees as a result of such Claim.
