Please read this agreement carefully. Your purchase and use of Software indicates your acceptance of the terms outlined below. If you have questions about the terms of this agreement please Contact Us.

Terms

  1. LICENSE.  InnoviHealth grants to Client and Clients Users a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Software for Client's internal, lawful use, and to the extent Client has paid the applicable fees for such access and use. The Software contains data sets from InnoviHealth and third-party licensors, and such data sets are included in the definition of "Software". InnoviHealth is the sole and exclusive owner of the Software and/or has been licensed to distribute the Software or portions of it. Client acquires no right to the Software or to the information and data contained in the Software, except the nonexclusive right to use such information and data solely for Client's own internal purposes, in accordance with this Agreement. Client shall have no right to allow any person or entity that is not an employee, contractor, or consultant of Client to access the Services, directly or indirectly in any way, and Client must ensure that anyone with access to the Software through Client will comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Client shall not publish, translate or transfer possession of the Software.
  2. FEE CALCULATIONS.  The pricing unless otherwise indicated for this License is based on use of the Software by the number of Seats ("Concurrent Users" or User Licenses Client purchases for a fixed period of time. If Client needs additional Seats or User Licenses, Client will pay InnoviHealth the applicable additional fees.
  3. ACCESS.  For a Site License, the number of Seats purchased will allow a maximum number of Users to access the Software simultaneously ("Concurrent Users"). A User License grants one person the right to access the Software. User Licenses may not be shared by multiple people. This is monitored and access to the Software may be revoked if abuse occurs. Certain Users may be given Administration access which requires them to set up and maintain a User Name and Password. Client and Users may NOT use the Software on any public computer-based medical information system, or in any public electronic bulletin board, or translate, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or create any derivative work based on the Software or the accompanying documentation.
  4. USER ID AND SECURITY.  "Administration Users" shall provide Client's Users access to the Software on the Website by maintaining Client-approved IP addresses within the Clients account profile, maintaining an appropriate Concurrent User License, and maintaining the optional Do Not Use List, and the Regional/Organizational List. Administration Users agree to maintain strict security procedures to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Administration Users ID's and to protect the Website from improper access. Administration Users ID's are personal to the Administration Users only. All fees incurred by persons to whom Client has given an Administration Users ID to shall be Client's sole responsibility.
  5. DO NOT USE LIST.  If Clients facility has formulated a list of abbreviations which Client believes should not be used, Client has the option of adding this list, or a URL link to this list to the Clients account profile for all of Clients Users to view.
  6. REGIONAL AND/OR ORGANIZATIONAL LIST.  If Clients facility has formulated a list of regional or organizational abbreviations which are not present in the Software, Client has the option of adding this list, or a URL link to this list to the Clients account profile for all of Clients Users to view.
  7. ACCURACY AND ERRORS.  Hereafter, unless otherwise stated, the use of the term Client will also include the Clients Users.
    The Software is provided as a research and reference tool in connection with medical abbreviations and other medically related material. Client must exercise care in that the meaning shown on the Website for a particular term or abbreviation, may not be the meaning intended by the writer of the medical abbreviation in question.

  9. LIMITATION OF DAMAGES.  InnoviHealth assumes no liability for any alleged or actual damages resulting from the misinterpretation of any medical abbreviation, term, or condition in reliance upon the Software or the contents thereof. InnoviHealth is not responsible or liable for any actions taken by Client as a result of Client's use of the Software, or for any error, inaccuracy, or omission in any report or analysis Client prepares in connection with or through use of the Software, or for any damage resulting from such use. Each party's liability to the other party for direct damages arising out of this Agreement shall not exceed the amount Client has paid or owes InnoviHealth under this Agreement in the year in which the cause of action arose. Under no circumstances will either party or InnoviHealth's licensors be responsible under this Agreement for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from either party's performance or failure to perform under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the use of or inability to use the Services, any damage to equipment and any cost of recovering lost data or of reprogramming. InnoviHealth does not warrant that the Software will meet Client's requirements or that the operation of the Website will be uninterrupted or without error.
  10. COPYRIGHT AND CONFIDENTIALITY.  Client acknowledges that the Software, the process and technologies included therein, as well as any other information or materials made available to Client by InnoviHealth through the Website are valuable assets, trade secrets, and/or copyrighted material of InnoviHealth or InnoviHealth's licensors and that InnoviHealth and its licensors retain title to them. Under no circumstances may Client copy the Software or the accompanying documentation for the purposes of distribution to others, nor may Client remove the copyright notices on the Software or the accompanying documentation.

  15. PAYMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. 
    1. Refunds. For Annual subscription accounts, the Client has 30 days from the Software account being activated to cancel the account to receive a refund, if payment for Software was supplied. No refunds will be allowed after the Client has exceeded 30 days from Software account activation.
    2. Annual subscriptions will be renewed automatically on the anniversary date of when the subscription was first activated for additional one (1) year terms unless Client terminates the subscription. Annual subscriptions can be paid for by credit card, check, wire transfers, ACH, or other industry standard payment methods currently approved by InnoviHealth.
    3. Annual subscriptions approved to pay by methods other than by credit cards, have no more than 30 days from the purchase, subscription, and/or renewal date to remit funds. If funds are not received within 30 days, the account and/or product may be removed or canceled, or a late fee of 1% per month (12% annually) or $25.00 per month (whichever is greater) will be applied to the account.
    4. Accounts that pay by a check or other similar payment methods, in which the check bounces, or payment doesn't clear, will have their accounts immediately canceled and a fee of $40.00 applied to their account. The account will be reinstated once all applicable fees and outstanding balances are brought current by payment with a credit card, ACH payment, or wire transfer.
    5. Clients with Annual subscriptions who cancel a product, or their account, will have access to those products and accounts until the end of that current subscription period. No refunds will be issued even if the Client discontinues using the Software before the end of the subscription period.
    6. Account Cancelation. It is solely up to the Client to cancel the Clients account when and if the Client no longer wishes to continue to use the Software. InnoviHealth will not under any circumstances, except for those already listed in this Subscription Agreement, deactivate a User's access or a Clients account without specifically being instructed to do so by the Client. A cancel account button is available to the Client in account administration. If a Client wishes to cancel their account by any other method of communication, it is up to the Client to make sure that InnoviHealth receives that communication and that the Clients account is canceled accordingly. InnoviHealth is under no obligation to refund any subscription payments because Client failed to properly cancel their subscription.
