Last updated: February 17, 2023

This MedStack Customer Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Services (as defined below) and is an agreement between you or the entity you represent (“you” or “your”) and MedStack Inc., an Ontario corporation (“MedStack”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Agreement takes effect when you click an “I Accept” button or checkbox presented with these terms or, if earlier when you use any of the Services (the “Effective Date”). You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have the legal authority to bind that entity. Please see Section 14 for definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement.

1. Services

a. Right to use. We grant you the right to access and use the Services in accordance with this agreement. We reserve all other rights. You will comply with the terms of this Agreement and all laws, rules and regulations applicable to your use of the Services.

b. Your Account. To access the Services, you must have a MedStack account associated with a valid email address.

c. Preview releases. Previews are provided “as-is,” “with all faults,” and “as-available,” and are excluded from the SLAs and all limited warranties provided in this agreement. Previews may not be covered by customer support. We may change or discontinue Previews at any time without notice. We also may choose not to release a Preview into general availability.

2. Changes

a. To the Services. We may change or discontinue any of the Services from time to time. We will provide you at least 12 months’ prior notice if we discontinue material functionality of a Service that you are using, or materially alter a customer-facing API that you are using in a backwards-incompatible fashion, except that this notice will not be required if the 12 month notice period (a) would pose a security or intellectual property issue to us or the Services, (b) is economically or technically burdensome, or (c) would cause us to violate legal requirements.

b. To the Service Level Agreement. We may change, discontinue or add to the Service Level Agreement from time to time in accordance with Section 12.

3. Security and privacy

a. Our security. Without limiting Section 10 or your obligations under Section 4a, we will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to help you secure Your Content against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure. To the extent we process Personal Information (as such term is defined in the Data Processing Addendum) in connection with this Agreement, we shall process such Personal Information in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Data Processing Addendum applicable to your region.

b. Regions. You may specify the regions in which Your Content will be stored. You consent to the storage of Your Content in, and transfer of Your Content into, the regions you select.

d. Our compliance with the law. We will not (a) disclose Your Content to any government or third party or (b) move Your Content from the regions selected by you; except in each case as necessary to comply with the law or a binding order of a governmental body. Unless it would violate the law or a binding order of a governmental body, we will give you notice of any legal requirement or order referred to in this Section.

e. Our use of your Account Information. We will only use your Account Information in accordance with the Privacy Notice, and you consent to such usage. The Privacy Notice does not apply to Your Content.

4. Your responsibilities

a. Your accounts.

All amounts payable by you under this Agreement will be paid to us without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and charges for any new Service or new feature of a Service will be effective when we post updated fees and charges on the MedStack Site, unless we expressly state otherwise in a notice. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services you are using by giving you at least 30 days’ prior notice. We may elect to charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.

All value-added, goods and services, sales or other transaction taxes, fees, charges or surcharges (collectively, “Taxes”) are payable by you, excluding only taxes based on our net income. You agree to pay the fees without deduction of any Taxes; provided, you may deduct Taxes as required by law only to the extent: (i) you actually pay such Taxes to the applicable tax authorities on our account; and (ii) the amount so withheld and paid does not exceed the minimum percentage required to be withheld under applicable law. Within sixty (60) days of making any such payment on our account, you must provide us with official tax receipts documenting such payment in order to avoid remitting such payment to us in connection with an invoice therefor.

Neither you nor any End User will, or will attempt to (a) modify, distribute, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any Content included in the Services (except to the extent Content included in the Services is provided to you under a separate license that expressly permits the creation of derivative works), (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Services or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Services (except to the extent applicable law doesn’t allow this restriction), (c) access or use the Services in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or exceeding usage limits or quotas, or (d) resell or sublicense the Services.
