Subscribing

 

Subscription

A Subscriber can subscribe to ADDA Tech's clinic management platform by signing up for one of its subscription plans and paying the applicable fees. Alternatively, a user is also considered a Subscriber if he uses a free Service on a monthly basis. Subscriptions run on a monthly basis. Fees are charged monthly in accordance with the billing information discussed at the time of subscription. The person signing up for a subscription on behalf of a Subscriber and who is authorized to administer the account for the Subscriber (the “Account Owner”) may update or cancel their respective Subscriber’s billing information at any time by contacting ADDA Tech support. Subscriptions and fees may be increased to match increases in your platform usage over time.

 

Availability of the Services

Upon successfully subscribing and paying, ADDA Tech will make the Services available to the Subscriber’s users according to the subscription plan selected. All Services will be made available in accordance with our Service Level Agreement.

 

Limitations

ADDA Tech's websites, documentation, training and other resources are provided for general information only. As such, they may not always be accurate or complete and are not intended to provide legal advice. ADDA Tech strongly recommends that Subscribers expressly seek out their own guidance and advice with respect to regulatory and legal compliance.

 

Subscriber Accounts

 

Account Owner

Each Subscriber will have one or more Account Owners. All questions about a Subscriber’s subscription and its user account(s) should be first directed to the Account Owner(s). A Subscriber may change its Account Owner(s) by contacting ADDA Tech support.

 

User Accounts

All Subscribers and users must provide accurate, current and complete information when creating their user accounts or any third person using their account. Subscribers are responsible for all activities that occur under their user accounts and for any issues, claims or disputes arising out of the conduct of their users. Subscribers must take appropriate steps to protect their user accounts, including, but not limited to:

  • Require users to set strong passwords, and update them regularly;
  • Keep user ID’s and passwords confidential at all times;
  • Do not provide any false identity information to access the Services.
  • To notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or your account and to log out of your account at the end of each session

ADDA Tech exonerates itself and will not be held liable for any losses or damages caused by a Subscriber’s failure to maintain the confidentiality of its user accounts and its account credentials. Any breach of data needs to be immediately reported to ADDA Tech's support team.

 

Subscriber Data

 

Ownership and Control

Subscribers retain ownership and control of patient data which includes, but is not limited to, all information collected, entered, created or otherwise provided by the Subscriber and its users in the course of using the Services (“Subscriber Data”). Subscribers are responsible for ensuring that their collection and use of Subscriber Data complies with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

Each individual Subscriber independently determines the following:

  • What Subscriber Data to collect;
  • How the Subscriber will use the Subscriber Data;
  • Which practitioners and staff have access to Subscriber Data;
  • How long the Subscriber will store Subscriber Data;
  • When and why Subscriber Data will be deleted.

 

Storage and Access

ADDA Tech is a service provider to Subscribers and will keep Subscriber Data stored securely, as per the section Security. Addatech will only access Subscriber Data at the request of a Subscriber or its users, when and if needed in order to prevent or address technical issues affecting the Services, or if required by law, regulation or court order. As we otherwise do not have control over Subscriber Data, we will not be held responsible for incorrect, incomplete, lost or damaged Subscriber Data, except to the extent it is caused by our failure to meet our obligations under these Terms.

 

HIPAA / GDPR / PEPIDA / PHIPA / PIPA Compliance

Any Subscriber who is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) can expressly request that Addatech enters into a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) with the Subscriber. If a Subscriber is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the terms of our Data Processing Addendum will apply and are incorporated into these Terms.

 

Questions About Subscriber Data

If you have any questions about your Subscriber Data, please first contact your Account Owner(s). Account Owners who have questions about Subscriber Data can then contact ADDA Tech support.

 

Anonymized/Aggregated Data

ADDA Tech may use software algorithms to gather and process anonymous and aggregated information from Subscriber Data. The scope is to assist in our continued development and improvement of the Services, as well as for research, data analysis, benchmarking, statistics and/or trend analysis. We pledge that none of the gathered information will identify, or could be used to identify, any user or patient. Furthermore, we may share such anonymized information with Subscribers, users and other third-party entities.

 

Security

 

Safeguards

ADDA Tech pledges to maintain industry-standard administrative, physical and technical safeguards to prevent any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Subscriber Data processed through or stored in the Services. These safeguards include, but are not limited to, security policies and training for our personnel, access controls, minimum security certifications and practices for our data centers, PCI-compliant payment processors and encryption. The Services also contain features which allow you to further enhance the security of your Subscriber Data. Refer to ADDA Tech's training materials for details.

 

Security Breach

ADDA Tech will notify affected Subscribers if ADDA Tech determines that the security of the Services has been breached and this results in Subscriber Data being accessed by or disclosed to an individual or entity who is not authorized to access or receive such information. ADDA Tech will communicate directly with the affected Subscriber(s) and explain the corrective action(s) being taken in response to the security breach, while reasonably cooperating with said Subscriber(s) in mitigating the effects of any lost or compromised Subscriber Data.

 

Your Responsibility

Subscribers and users must notify ADDA Tech immediately if they become aware of any unauthorized use of their account(s), Subscriber Data, or any other known or suspected breach of security.

 

Data Retention Policy

 

During the Subscription Term

ADDA Tech's clinic management platform is designed and certified to retain, protect and preserve the integrity of Subscriber Data in order to adhere to regulatory and compliance obligations in respect to patient records. Subscriber Data will not be deleted during the subscription term, unless otherwise provided by law or regulation.

 

Data Export

Subscribers may export their Subscriber Data at any time.

 

After Termination

Upon a subscription expiring or being terminated, the account is automatically deactivated. The account and any Subscriber Data associated with the account will no longer be available for use and will cease to be accessible to the Subscriber. ADDA Tech preserves the right to retain the account and its Subscriber Data for the sole purpose of offering it back to the same Subscriber in the event the Subscriber wishes to re-activate the account. We will store Subscriber Data securely and isolate it from any further processing while it is deactivated.

 

Termination

 

Overdue Fees

If any fees are more than 30 days overdue, ADDA Tech may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend or terminate access to the Services until the overdue amounts are paid in full. We will provide reasonable notice that fees are overdue before suspending or terminating an account. We will not exercise this right if the Subscriber is disputing the applicable fees reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

 

Termination by ADDA Tech

ADDA Tech may terminate or suspend access to the Services, or suspend or deactivate a Subscriber’s or a user’s account, if the Subscriber or user breaches any obligations under these Terms. We may also terminate a Subscriber’s subscription if we discontinue the Services. Addatech will deploy reasonable efforts to notify its users in advance of any suspension or termination and help Subscribers retrieve their Subscriber Data.

 

Refunds

If a Subscriber terminates its subscription due to a breach by ADDA Tech or ADDA Tech discontinues the Services, we will refund any pre-paid fees for the remaining unused portion of the subscription term. If we terminate a Subscriber’s subscription due to a breach by the Subscriber, the Subscriber will not be entitled to any refund and must pay any unpaid fees for the remaining unused portion of the subscription term.

 

Fees Prior to Termination

Termination does not relieve a Subscriber of its obligation to pay fees for any period prior to the effective date of termination.
